4. I've seen the right argue another Terror attack...
Edited on Fri Aug-29-03 02:11 AM by Ein
would kill Bush. That's bullshit, look at that shit, Bush would be impeached by now if the conspicuous terrorist attack didn't happen.

This guy can go fuck himself. Seriously. He should be drawn and quartered. Jack Kennedy didn't think anyone could go to the right of Goldwater until Reagan "Our Liberal friends aren't ignorant, they just know so much that isn't so."

I didn't think anyone could go to the right of Reagan, until this junta took power under the most conspicuous of circumstances. Then they proceed to enact policies that ARE NEVER in the interest of the public.

Beyond that, both parties have failed recently, the constitution itself states it is our right and obligation to overthrow this bullshit.

The proletariate must dictate the direction of our country, and futhermore be aware of the true circumstances surrounding each decision, or it is not fit to be called a Democracy.

6. For once, the right is, well, right.
Everything since 9-11 has been focused on eliminating the threat of terrorism. If -- God forbid -- there's another major attack, people's first reaction will be to wonder what all the money, all the hassle, all the sacrifice of our rights and all of the Bushit has been about.

No, this is one where Bush really has to get it right.

12. We are at a point of contention.
Edited on Fri Aug-29-03 05:32 AM by Ein
I am of the belief that unless this government loots Iraqi oil for 20$ a barrel to boom the economy, they are going to have an October Surprise. I feel that may likely manifest as terrorism.

edit: Yes, I do think these guys are completely ruthless. In fact, due to my belief that the plan in Iraq was laid out before Clinton came into office, and in place for Bush Sr's second term, and that resistance to the first Iraq war and the economy set thier plans awry... that a terrorist attack on American soil would be just what these guys needed.

Also, I look at the connections b/t Hinckley and Bush Sr., the one offhand I can come up with is the supposedly dinner planned the night after the assassination. It leads me to believe that the Bush family and thier cohorts are in a death struggle with any trace of the peoples will (i.e. Democracy).

I do think the Bush-Hinckley thing might be a fabrication... but it is definately enough to make me wonder, especially with what this family and thier buddies have done as of late.

14. I dunno
if you notice talking points, we have a lot of Dems out there who are insisting that we are no safer now than before 9/11. Of course the Rs insist otherwise.

If there was another attack Bush would be in trouble. They gotta know that.

5. Notice that the descent is steeper this time.
Lower bounce, harder fall. I guess he's used up all his credibility points with the public.

16. His ratings might go up a little after another incident,
but it would just be a dead cat bounce.

8. How can someone see something like this
And still think that 9/11 didn't only benifit Bush.

Why wouldn't they question his pre-9/11 actions, and ESPECIALLY his actions the day of?

9. At least he's consistent, once he starts falling, he keeps on falling...
until of course there is a manufactured crisis. Beware, we are due for another biggie.

10. Perhaps Hillary has been looking at this picture...
My view, expressed by others here, is that she now thinks she has a chance in 04.. previously she thought there was no hope. Hence her Lazarus impression...
