just flat out say it aloud, how bad could it be? i'd prefer it to the constant, shitty lies.

just come out and say it, we hate sand n-----s, we want their oil, we'll invade any damn oil producing country we damn well please and kill all the men women and children that get in our way.

we are superior to all other races and religions and nations, therefore, we DESERVE to be called the greatest nation. all nations will bow to us, and surrender to us.

see, now that wasn't all that bad was it?

just level with we the people o.k. assholes?

1. not good for morale

2. WC Fields Never Said, "Never Give A Sucker An Even Break."
Just because one thinks it is a game of chance, it does not mean that the game ain't fixed.

Never smarten up a chump.

Why do you think the people want to know? Too many people want to be lied to. The people sleep better when they know they have been lied to.

3. are you nuts?
do you know how that would poll?Better to guise it in Democratic/moral/religious motive and sell a broad swath of people hardly paying attention and get the job done.

It'll be over before people wise up.

Media? We'll take care of them....

5. "We are losing the war in Iraq"
It's a failure and even the oil revenues who triggered the whole war are below standard and will be below standard for quite a while.

Are you happy now?

6. our soldiers are dying for nothing other than the greed of billionaires
and not freedom and democracy.

8. One reason they won't is . . .
You put too many big words in there- no way Duh-bya could make it through a speech like that without flubbing it up,


Plus any statement that contains more then one simplistic concept for him to regurgitate over and over makes his "beutiful mind" hurt and confuses the hillbilly base. . .

;)

9. U.S. Imperialism has always come with a smiling face to the poorer
Edited on Sun May-15-05 07:05 AM by KlatooBNikto
nations promising democracy and freedom. The snarling dog like appearance shows up when all its smiles do not work, as in Cuba thirty odd years ago, in Venezuela now,in Iran sometime ago and so on.As more and more nations begin to wake up to the predatory nature of our rulers, even the pretexts of this smiley faces and the gobbledygook of Freedom and Democracy will be dropped and the truth will be told.Until then the lies will do nicely, thank you.

Frank Zappa was a very prescient man.

12. It pleases the power-hungry to get power by 'fooling' all the people
beneath them. It is an ego boost. It is sick. Especially for the political operatives. Bush is their joke on the world. He fulfills a sadistic need they have to diminish the lives of many while pumping their own dam selves up to grandiose heights.

Others are dangerous Utopians.

13. They haven't closed the deal yet so the lies continue.
But once they have the control they want you may get what you wish for. They will just tell you, go to work and shut your mouth if you don't want to be disappeared.
