I can't honestly say that he would not. What about Bob Bennet? Would the Dems roll over too? How would Rush spin it? I hate to say it, I really do, but we just may find out one day.

No problem.
He had to sacrifice the towers to expose the terrorists before Saddam gave them nuclear weapons that would have done more damage. He'll get the biggest medal they can give him. He'll be on the pedestal next to Saint Ronnie.

3. of course. I don't say that about MIHOP
but in context; Iran Contra - Ollie North is a great American, GHWBush did nothing wrong, Saint Ronnie. Hell, you even find Nixon defenders. Of course a little thing like lies, murder and treason will be accepted as for the public good.

5. I know you didn't mean for this to be funny, but I'm picturing Scotty
answering questions on this:
"The President is authorized to make whatever needs to happen
happen in order to protect the American People" :sarcasm:

7. Is that the best you can do???
If George Bush publicly morphed into the devil and started biting the heads off little children, Brit Hume would defend it.

8. At first they would fight it tooth and nail...
... which would quickly switch to "So what if he did? Something had to make the US take the threat of Islamo-fascists seriously." Which would then turn to "True conservatives never trusted Bush in the first place. He was reckless with the budget and national security and if there weren't so many liberals voting for him he would have never been put in office." Eventually it would switch to "Jeb Bush has developed a brilliant plan to make sure that this never happens again, and he is making it the platform for his run for the presidency."

9. Even With Conclusive Evidence...
and by one way of thinking we already have enormous amounts of evidence, could we face such a thing? A Constitutional Crisis. Uheard of and LITERALLY "UNTHINKABLE". Oh sure, we can kind of, sort of entertain such notions--we can even fully believe it to be true--still, I'm not at all sure we could face it. That's probably why it would require absolute, airtight evidence of the sort such as a signed confession document along with a video confession interview with Bush and Cheney both admitting their crimes. Nobody wants to believe it; few if any have any idea what actions would be called for... immediate general elections to replace at least one whole branch of government?

I hope Justice is Served (and one day soon)!

10. If Bush was doing goats and the twins on the Truman Balcony by
the full moon, Brit Hume would defend and ask if he could have the goat's autograph.

He is 100% Nazi and will die that way.

18. What the hell is wrong with you people? It's the freaking achilles heel!
Edited on Fri Apr-07-06 06:05 PM by Independent_Liberal
It's the key to it all. You have my 100% guarantee that the Administration, the GOP, and the Conservatives will NOT survive that scandal. That is a fact. The whole global fascist agenda would be exposed. The people of this country will NOT accept the fact that their government orchestrated an attack against them. There will be a bloody, violent, gory, eardrum-shattering, earth-shaking outrage like nothing you've ever seen before. I'm not kidding. A primal scream that can be heard all across the universe. Goodbye BushCo and goodbye Republican Party!

Edited on Fri Apr-07-06 06:11 PM by simonm
It is our responsibility to inform our friends and family about 9/11.

Distributing DVDs like 'loose change 2' can also make the job a lot easier.

26. It has NOT been proven false... unless you are going to do it right now.
I'm sure we'd all be interested in your evidence and a cogent argument.

29. Link it
Link that MIHOP "has been proven false."

Using O'Reilly terminology, "any clear-thinking person knows" MIHOP has time and time again been proven to be the truth.

23. I think they will defend it.
Because there were credible threats out there, and the American people were complacent and not on guard. If the US gov't didn't do those attacks, surely someone else would have, so really, they were just acting in our best interest.

it was necessary to 'wake America up to the threat' or something along those lines. I have absolutely no doubt.

They'd probably praise the Bush cabal as true patriots who were willing to risk their lives and sacrifice their souls simply to wake the country up.

27. If Bush literally blew up the world
just before they were vaporized his supporters would say something like "it's the only sure way to get rid of all terraists in the world"
