Did someone play us for complete idiots

[A wise Man]

Prior to Bush invading Iraq, rethugs senators and congressmen and women all denied that the reasons to invade Iraq was not for the oil resources. Now all of a sudden we can't leave because Iran or Sunnis or Saudis or Sihites would control the oil and leave Halibuton in a waste land. While Bush continues to lie about vitural everything, his voter supporters continue to claim him King of Christianity.

1. Yes.

I think you answered your own question.

2. Americans get played for fools every day of the week

Cialis anyone? How about some hair growth tonic, guaranteed to work? Looking to buy some stocks? Strike it rich? Lose weight?

Just do what the talking box says, and all will be yours!

5. This is hilarious. The Southern Baptist Convention has

had ties with the Republican party going back for forty years. Southern conservationves who took humbrage with Lyndon Johnson and his civil rights laws switched over to the Repub party during the sixties and seventies, and by 1980 was thoroughly in the Repub camp.

Land himself has been a long supporter of the Repub party. He has addressed GOP members of the house where he made the statement that" We want a wedding ring, we want a ceremony, we want a consummation of marriage" with the Republican Party.

The hypocrisy of this man is staggering. The GOP and the Southern Baptists have played the American voters for suckers for many years, and have gotten away with it.

6. The first lie - bring honor and integrity to the WH. Yes, our congressional.

leaders have participated in the lies - except for a few.

I first thought the Dems who voted for the President were doing it for votes. I now believe some of them joined the 'dominate the ME oil while protecting Israel' team.

One thing is for sure - there is very little visible movement in Congress to protect the world by stopping the invasaion of Iran and all the devestation that will follow.

That means two things - a combination of giving away congressional rights in the Patriot Act and approving of more war and imperialism.

We've now had nearly a decade of lies and seven years of deceit, death, debt, destruction, theft, plunging into military control and devestating policies leading to the loss of everything that was attained in the last 200 years. And it was done and is being done by our own people.

All along whole groups of people in other countries have been wiped out by this country and we thought it was for our protection - if we even knew about it or cared about it at the time.

Our country took a great ultra evil leap forward in the last seven years with the lie of all lies. It's not just lies - it's the torture and the theft of our courts and Constitution.

7. You've only been "played" if you actually fell for it

The only reason they called it "Operation Iraqi Freedom" was because the acronym for "Operation Iraqi Liberation" would have been too obvious.

8. it's insane,

isn't it? what continually blows me away is that they get away with. they get away with it and get away with it.

9. BartCop's constantly bringing up the point...

Iraq pumped 3.5M barrels daily before Bush invaded
and then they got their 2003 Halliburton upgrade

Bush is stealing $220,000,000 every day.

No wonder they were so eager to start a war,

stealing $220,000,000 every day.

It's the biggest theft in Earth's history.

Is anyone following the money?

10. O.I.L.=Operation Iraqi Liberation. Wasn't that what bu$hco was going to call it

at first, before they stopped and thought about it? :evilgrin: So many wasted lives on both sides and no I don't think Sen. Obama should have apologized for saying so.

11. Just read 1984

its called doublespeak, and people have been swallowing it since before recorded history. That's why they threw virgins into volcanoes.
George Orwell had it pegged, and the masses still don't know when they are being played for fools, any more than a puppet knows why it jerks around when the strings are pulled.

12. Us? No. The sheep who voted for them? Yes.
