How many ex-Bush officials have to speak out before...
Edited on Mon Mar-22-04 12:36 PM by Brotherjohn
... people stop saying "They're pursuing a partisan agenda" and start saying "Hmmm, maybe there's a REASON they're speaking out!"

O'Niell - A member of the cabinet (registered Republican and Bush I appointee).

Clarke - The White House's head of counter-terrorism (registered Republican and Reagan/Bush I appointee).

When your head of counter-terrorism resigns and says you're doing a miserable job fighting terrorism, doesn't that mean anything?

1. Notice that partisanship
pertains to Dems. When the Repukes say something it's 'fact'.

If all this Bush* stuff had been reported as it was happening we wouldn't be here now. It was the job of journalists to look at these things and they failed.

3. You, my friend, have hit the core of the main problem facing the US
the US RW-media. It utterly shapes controls the thinking of most Americans, hence the difference in perspective between Americans and the rest of the world. The entire rest of the world is wrong, you know. We speak truth...the rest of the world is too dumb to realize that.

2. Look, even if Jesus Christ

went on Faux to tell the world that Bush and Co. intentionally deceived everyone in order to pursue their own agenda of power and greed, the true believers would claim "partisanship". And, this time they'd be right. Anyone who expouses Jesus' philosophy is a liberal.

7. In the Orwellian State of Imperial Amerika...I am not so sure.
Obviously in Free Nations, things would go more quickly.

But Imperial Amerika is no longer technically free, anyway.
