I really don't know how Jeb can say W kept us safe with a straight face. I actually think he believes his own bullshit. That entire family lives in their own little fantasy world.

I hope a lot was learned from that experience. I just read a book about it and I am just as appalled now as I was then.

Why is it always only us that point this out!!?? Why doesn't the MSM bring this up?? At the debate, when Jeb said "my brother kept us safe," why didn't Jake Tapper say "No, he didn't. 9/11 happpened on his watch!" Why didn't even Trump come back with that?? I actually sent a letter to someone in the Trump organization yesterday to please have Trump come out and point that out! This is when we need someone like Trump! He's great at throwing back the BS to his fellow-republicans!!

so the uninformed masses will believe the lie. Remember how the MSM kept showing the attacks day after day, ad nauseam, willingly going along with Republican efforts to keep us "afraid"?

Which make some kind of weird sense, they want to "Take the Country Back". Like to the mid 19th century. Which is the opposite of Progress.
And I don't think they would stop at 1850, better to be at 1750 so the oligarchs and privileged ruled in their mansions with serfs tending the fields and serving them the finest food available.
