I just turned the wife of a Repub onto PNAC
Edited on Thu Apr-20-06 06:03 PM by Sapere aude
This woman I work with was telling me that her husband gives money to the repubs all the time but has stopped because he doesn't like the things Bush is doing. She said that he was yelling on the phone to the last person who called for a donation for a repuke cause. She said he told the caller that he was never giving to them again and that he was going to vote Democratic the next time.

I told my co-worker that I would like to understand why her husband didn't know what was going on years ago like we did. She asked me how I knew these things and I started talking about PNAC. She has never heard of PNAC so I went to the web sight and showed her. She promised to go home tonight and read about PNAC.

I was thinking that back in the days of real news all Americans would have heard about PNAC.

3. I was a reporter for 12 years. I loved it. When I was 12, I
knew that's what I wanted to be.

I adored my job. I ferretted out information that was as factual as I could find. I gave not guilty verdicts as much weight as guilty ones, no matter what the mood of the community was. I got as many sides to the story as I could. I was fearless.

I left the profession when my son was born to stay at home with him. Then, when a divorce forced me back into the work place, I had to take something that A.) paid better (most local reporters make shit wages) and B.) was more 9 to 5 for school and daycare reasons.

I still miss it, fundamentally, but I couldn't go back, even though my son is older now and I'm remarried and have more help. I could never sit still while some fundie editor told me I had to slant things to they didn't offend "the king," and I don't mean Elvis. I'd be fired in two seconds in the atmosphere that currently plagues our "reporters."

*sigh*

6. the october surprise
the arkansaw project, 'vigilant guardian' and the 3 military exercises being conducted on sept 11/01 are a couple more most people never heard of (i recall reading that vast numbers of rightwing voters back in the campaign leading up to the 2000 election thought george bush the dilettante was george bush the ex prez - also, very few american knew 2 bushes were govners of 2 usa states, the pigmedia too busy talking about clinton's extramarital adventures!)

7. Way to go
Most reps. that I have introduced PNAC to either didn't seem to catch it or dismissed it as though it was some conspiracy to believe the William Kristol and the gang had any power at all. Maybe now that the knucklehead has only 29% devotion they may take a second look. Dissing the pRes is catching on.

8. PNAC is like finding the blue print for a bank robbery.

It's the smoking gun and it essentially proves that none of this by accident. The whole thing's a SCAM, from 9/11 on, and the Neo-Convicts have the fucken balls to leave it all up on the website.
