1. Like this:
"Do you really think that terrorist could have gotten a third plane, that's right, a third hijacked plane to the FUCKING PENTAGON, without some kind of kinky bullshit going on?"

I know what you mean
I have friends (even some democrats) who think Clinton is very responsible. It's very discouraging.

4. tell him to...
Put down the crack pipe and review the facts. How many administration officials have called the WH on this? Paul O'Neill, Richard Clarke, Karen Kwiatkowski (as regards the Bushies freudian obsession with Saddam).

Geezus, if the Repukes weren't so busy trying to catch a glimpse of Clinton's cock, perhaps they would have paid attention when they tried to warn the newly appointed bushies of the danger OBL and AQ represented.

Most importantly, tell him to put down the crack pipe.

6. It's Clinton's fault ...
Edited on Sat Mar-27-04 12:53 AM by TahitiNut
... that the Busholinis couldn't just coast, spend 40% of their time on vacation, and spend their remaining time fund-raising, pillaging the treasury, and raping the environment. Yup. When Waco blew up 3 months after Clinton took office, it wasn't Bush41's fault. Clinton took responsibility. When the WTC was bombed one month after Clinton took office, it wasn't Bush41's fault. Clinton took responsibility. That's why the Clinton/Gore administration caught, tried, convicted, and jailed the people who did it -- without killing thousands of "collateral damage" innocents, either. It's also Clinton's fault he didn't catch Osama for blowing up the Cole 3 months before he left office, too. It's NEVER a Busholini's fault. :eyes:


Tell ya what ... let's keep trying to elect another President who accepts responsibility, OK?

5. He was president when it happened.
Period.

Aren't republicans supposed to be the "personal responsibility" party?

7. Clinton was LONG GONE by 9-11-2001
Bush wanted to be President, he became President, He also becomes responsible for the safety and security of the nation and its citizens ...

George W. Bush is DIRECTLY responsible for what happens on his watch: he had 8 months of opportunity to get his tax cut, he certainly had enough opportunity to assume responsibility for the safety of a nation ...

Clinton was long gone ....

8. Ask him if it is Clinton's fault
that the tax cuts happened, seeing as how Clinton left a surplus.
Ask him how mush the wealthy people are getting as opposed to the middle class. He will counter. Ask him what Clinton had to do with the decision of who got how much tax relief.
He will give the credit to Bush.
Point out that Clinton deserves just as much credit since he is getting just as much blame for things that have happened on Bush's watch.

Ask him why Bush is stonewalling the 9:11 investigation, and especially since it is all Clinton's fault.
Why is Bush shielding Clinton when even Daschle and the other Dems want to get to the bottom of this.

Ask him why other Republicans are turning against Bush,
WITHOUT the assistance of Clinton, over the 9:11 fiasco.

Tell him that Bush stonewalled fellow Republican Dan Burton when Burton went digging and found out the the FBI had been assisting criminals instead of busting them.

But remember that even if you make your case better than Perry Mason can,
"a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest."
--The Boxer
Simon & Garfunkel.

Mr Clarke's allegations, are put in the kind of concise, bullet-point format one would expect of a career diplomat who spent more than a decade on the White House national security council. "George W. Bush," he wrote in his book Against all Enemies and relayed on television and in testimony before the September 11 commission this week, "failed to act prior to September 11 on the threat from al-Qaeda despite repeated warnings, and then harvested a political windfall for taking obvious yet insufficient steps after the attacks; and launched an unnecessary and costly war in Iraq that strengthened the fundamentalist, radical Islamic terrorist movement worldwide."

Such sweeping condemnation from a man who was inside the White House Situation Room on the day of the terrorist attack has made Mr Clarke's book an overnight publishing sensation. But some pollsters caution its political impact may not be so dramatic.

John Zogby, the independent pollster, says opinions are so polarised on Mr Bush that he expects "few minds will be changed" by Mr Clarke's attack.
