Is There a Magic Number When All Hell Breaks Lose???
I do feel like I fell down the rabbit hole in Alice in Wonderland. Yep, like you, I've been hearing blasting of Bush on mainstream media in the aftermath of his ratings dropping through the floor, and I see tonight that there is even more (like Chris--"I blow with the political wind--Matthews). There's something I've predicted for months and months now (and gave up hoping). I now know, seeing this, that there are enough of the whores who simply follow the 'stats' and I had said that if the 'stats' get low enough for Bush then a lot of "other" stuff will surface. In a word, how far do these numbers go down before a brilliant, young, invesigative reporter unearths the "big story"--i.e., any of the long list of shit we have screamed about here and in dem websites across the land for the last 2 and a half years?? When will that ace reporter "discover" (gasp) that Bush was AWOL?? When will another ace report discover the evidence that he did "do coke" and drank long after his supposed dry out at age 40??? When will come the stories on a disfunctional family or what the biggest loser First Lady (the invisible cat-faced woman) really does since no one ever sees her in public, etc. America is one big National Enquirer. Bush was their darling for two and a half years. Ohhhh, but when the famous fall from grace..watch out!!! A few more "approval" points and I'll bet we will be hearing the "psssst...I have a story to tell you about Bush" stories that will start appearing. Hey, if the newsmedia keeps dumping on him, it's logical that he will fall even more points. Wonder what the first (finally and long over due) "dish the dirt" story will be?? Any ideas??

1. I've always thought
The magic number is fatalities. When the number of American casualties since the Bunnypants Great Adventure on the USS Lincoln passes the number of casualties before that, the gloves are off.

11. I've calculated
that by election 2004, there will be approx. 537 American casualties, AFTER Bush declared an end to hostilities.

2. I'm tired of waiting. It's time for Bush to go.
What are we waiting for? Why can't the dems start impeachment or recall or whatever?

4. Starpass, would you mind separating your thoughts
into shorter paragraphs so that my old eyes can read your posts more easily?

Thanks.

7. 9-11 pre-knowledge.
The CIA briefed the Little Turd from Crawford on imminent plans by Osama bin Laden to hijack American airliners for a huge attack on the United States. Bushler did NOTHING to protect the American people.

Treason is not sufficient a word to describe what the general public will discover. There is a crime worse — when you turn your back on humanity and God.

8. That's the one, and in fact it's about to happen
The committee report is due out next week, isn't it? Didn't I see that someone involved said it would be explosive?

9. Bush's number is up, any day now.
The sad truth is Baby Face Bush was a bald-faced liar when it came to prosecuting a war that killed thousands of innocent people. He also was a liar when it came to enabling the terrorist attacks that killed thousands of innocent Americans and their guests in September 2001. How did he act then? He wanted war with Iraq, according to Gen. Clark and Tony the Poodle.

The 9-11 report is due by the end of the month, accoring to the following. While normally I don't quote the Washington Times or its owner and publisher, but for Bushler I'll make an exception:


New 9-11 report expected to be "explosive"

WASHINGTON, July 10 (UPI) -- A former U.S. representative says the long-awaited report on the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks will contain "explosive" information when it's released this month.

Former Rep. Tim Roemer, D-Ind., told the Miami Herald the report contains new information about U.S. government mistakes and Saudi financing of terrorists.

Roemer, who served on the House Intelligence Committee, said the report will be ''highly explosive'' when it becomes public.

Eleanor Hill, who directed the Congressional investigation that produced the 800-page report, said Wednesday several battles with the Bush administration over how much secret data would be declassified have been resolved.

10. Wow, tell me its true!!!!
Edited on Tue Jul-15-03 01:05 AM by belab13
The criminal proceedings could last for years. Nary an innocent to be found within

the administration. Bout time this country took a hard look

at itself in the mirror. We've been wreaking havoc across the globe for far too many

years in order to insure energy supply and assuage the needs other corporate interest

groups (Defense Contractors in particular). See the U.S. Vincennes (sp?) bombing of

an Iranian civil airliner in order to test out the new Aegis missile defense system

during the Reagan administration. Unfortunately these types of disasters occur

during both Democratic and Republican tenures. Obviously the more egregious

events occur with the republicans in office. I'm rambling here, but I truly

believe the political process needs to be revamped. Special interests (not all) are

ruining our ability to govern ourselves.

12. The real story out there...
Cheney's secret energy policy meetings.
What darkness lies there I think no one can stomach.

('nuff said)
