Feeding frenzy! Time to bring down this very unpopular AWOL deserter!
Edited on Sun Sep-28-03 08:42 PM by TruthIsAll
This one has long, long legs...nothing will impede this centipede..

Its time! The establishment has spoken. Enough is enough! It comes down to this: Incompetence is an unforgivable sin. And BushCo is worse than incompetent. They can't even keep their lies straight.

Even if we are not a true democracy, the powers that be realize that we at least must have the APPEARANCE of one. Bush has decimated our system to such a degree, we are perceived by our economic partners and former friends around the world of being a fascist state, totally out of control.

We are no longer a nation whose word means anything...so....the pendulum turns...along with the worm..

2. The bush* dam has gigantic cracks in it and is starting to overflow,
soon the rush of scandal will overwhelm them and they will drown in their own pool of lies.

3. I read where Charles Schumer said he doesn't think the DOJ
should handle this because of conflict of interest. What did other Dems say about it today? They can't let the DOJ whitewash it.

16. Schumer's numbers - for a big ATTABOY tomorrow:
In Washington (202) 224 - 6542

In NYC (212) 486 - 4430

He's correct, of course. Would we really feel well-served trusting this to ashcroft? Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

First thing in the morning, folks - call! Call and say thank you, and tell Schumer you want more action in pursuit of this!!!

Also - see the TOLL FREE Capitol Hill Switchboard:

1 (800) 648 - 3516 or

1 (800) 839 - 5276

Call them tomorrow and ask for ANYBODY'S office on the Hill. They'll connect you for free.

PLEASE CALL YOUR REPS AND DEMAND ACTION ON THIS!!! The FCC thought they had us beat on the further deregulation of the media, didn't they? Until the people spoke up. Miguel Estrada and his pals probably thought they'd prevail, too. Until the people spoke up!

PLEASE, GUYS! DO IT IN THE MORNING!!!!

5. Kick
What I am staying up for tonight are tomorrow's papers. NY Times just has to have one of the 6 reporters contacted on the Plame smear. They ran a vague article today with no byline.

My guess is that they want to beat the Washington Post with something juicy for the Monday Morning edition. The legs are growing. Expect the L.A. Times, and the other major papers to start jumping in with gusto.

26. Write the Chicago Tribune and ask why they're ingoring the story
That's what we have to do. Getting rid of the Pretzel-Dunce will be a lot easier with the mainstream media on our side. If enough of us let them know that we're not going to tolerate any more of their soft-pedaling and covering up, they won't be able to ignore us. Nixon would have sailed right through Watergate if the press had done what they're doing now. And the new FCC rulings never would have been stalled if we hadn't risen up and called our representatives!

Would you want to tell your kids that you were in a Dean/Clark bashing thread, or following this story, as the legs finally came unglued in the Chimpy misadministration.

Kick this back to the top.

19. It's going to take US! CALLING OUR CONGRESSPEOPLE!
Saywhat: see my earlier post on this-here thread. Or go to www.congress.org and you can find, in the directory, the numbers for ANYBODY'S office - either in Washington or their home towns. CALL THEM, FIRST THING IN THE MORNING, AND DEMAND ACTION! And if ashcroft wants to sweep this under the rug, that's how we do an end-run around him - JUST LIKE WITH THE FCC, recently.

Hell, I might even call the editorial department of the L.A. Times tomorrow, and ask if they're going to follow up some more on this treason story - the blowing of the CIA agent's cover - for sheer revenge. Hmmm... sounds good.

13. THAT WASHINGTON POST STORY IS MAJOR !
Holy crap! People, please read it! A senior administration official talked to the Washington Post and not only confirmed that two other top Bush people leaked it, but the story implies that this person told the WP reporters who the leakers are.

"The official would not name the leakers for the record and would not name the journalists" (the journalists being the six the leakers went to).

I bet there are two happy WP reporters tonight with visions of Pulitzer prizes dancing in their heads.

29. It is not in the Washington Times as of 12:08 09-28-03
On the Fox neuz they have a small by line, "Justice Dept. Probes CIA Snafu", as if it was the CIA that fucked up. Jerks

NY Post has nothing on it. What mention of Bush is "Bush Aides Defend intelligence on Iraq" and "Bush, Putin United On Nuke Threat." Nothing on the Leak.

23. Dude
I alerted on you. I've never done it before.

That was highly inappropriate in more ways than one. I don't know how old you are, but use a little common sense. This is a public board. Believe it or not there are kids posting here. Your warning would have actually been a beacon for them to look.

Edited on Sun Sep-28-03 09:26 PM by dusty64
, but there is a HUGE problem. There will be NO justice from the "justice" department, just another whitewash. The whore media will NOT cover this as a story of treason, its not a DEMOCRAT in the WH. Once again this will be buried in the treasure trove of crimes and lies of our regime, I really would like to be wrong on this however.

P.S. Note that the "crotch" is included. And exposed.
