Did you hear me on Bill Press this morning? I'm the one that said
that I was fearful that because McCain was standing by the war so much, and that people usually rally around the republicans when they are afraid, I thought that another 911 might be allowed to happen again just like the last time. I think there might be some more attacks before Nov. just to give the war party more power.
What do you guys think?

17. I don't know if I belive they made it happen but i'm inclined to think so.
Lots of evidence points to that conclusion. There is a german film out now that has lots of info. What do you think?

2. Good job, rainy!
I just read that 60% of Americans would turn down an opportunity
to go into space.

60%!

Fear rules the roost, doesn't it?

3. I didn't hear you, but I think your...
...statement was incredibly courageous and wise. More people need to be making this point,
because I would put NOTHING past these neocon assholes. The only way McCain can win is if
national security is at the forefront of voter's minds.

Gee. How could that be accomplished? Anyone think these pro-torture, election stealing,
warmongering, murdering neocon bastards are above orchestrating or allowing a terrorist
attack?

I'd be interested in hearing how Press and other callers responded to your statements.

Good job. Great statement.

6. I didn't get to listen because I had already arrived at work and was
listening to him through my cell as I waited for him to take my call. At the end he said to me, Sharon, Sharon, Sharon, as if he didn't want to claim my view. But, I did get to say it loud and clear. I was just hoping someone heard it to tell me if it was all aired. I was Sharon from Va. Beach.

8. we stop madness by talking about it
It's a preemptive move to talk about their "unhinged" lunacy and speculate about what they MIGHT do.

If the people can assign blame for future attacks, we might be spared them.

Example: "If the Republicans were to dare to frighten the American people with false terror events, the people will know better this time. Americans won't be stampeded by Republicans so easily again."

9. Another Attack would show how the Bush/McCain policy is a complete FAILURE.

10. No- The stark question will be to Americans.
Americans will be focused on . Do you want our country to be
viewed as a winner or loser.???

The problem Democrats face is: Rank and file Americans are much
different in their views from Activists. Americans are much more
nuanced than the Anti-War Activists. (I am not being critical) We
just need to be realistic. While a majority of Americans want us
out of Iraq, they may not be willing to permit our country to look
like a loser.

Here is an example . Most of you have heard the back and forth
yesterday between Obama and McCain. Remember, Obama said and if
GWB and JMcCain had not invaded Irag there would be no AlQeda in Irag.
This is only a line of the exchange. Here is the point, even Mara
Lliason, NPR who contributes to Fox News.-----plainly stated Obams's
answers works for the Democratic Primary; but this will not work in
the GE. She is an Obama supporter unabashed and it is reflected
in her reports.

11. heard you ... and think about this ... the USS Cole was blown up Oct 12, 2000
and Bush and the Republicans were more interested in finding out if a Democrat was schtupping Chandra Levy, and investigating whether or not Clinton trashed the offices ...

BTW, it's come out that Bush and company were already wiretapping U.S. citizens illegally prior to 9/11/2001 - the day that Bush cites as the reason why they need to wiretap illegally ... because, if we were doing it before then, the attacks wouldn't have happened ...

at 7:50 but they took me right away.

18. actually you should have heard me because that is when I was on. The last
call on my phone was when I tried to call back after I was on. So,the 7:50 call was after I was on. I was on between 7:40 and 7:45.
