every time i read the news i'm more and more embarrassed by how gullible my fellow Americans are.

[Woland]

It's Newt Gingrich, of all people, who has suggested that the Dems campaign slogan this year should be simply, "Had Enough?"

If they can't come up with stuff like this on their own, do they deserve to win? I'm increasingly frustrated with them.

[On the other hand]

Just an amateur hypothesis, but I would guess that, given the sheer fumblebuck that the Bush administration has made of everything it touches, any American with the capacity for outrage has already gone over to the Democrats. The remaining GOP loyalists would have to be completely oblivious to the real world in order to continue supporting Bush, so I don't know if having his stupidity and incompetence pointed out yet again is gonna matter to them.

Then again, perhaps there is something more effective about seeing it in a TV ad, such as Hater Depot proposes. But I think Bush will still be able to spin those contradictions. He's already admitted in an interview that his earlier gunslinging rhetoric was a mistake. So he's probably setting the stage to distance himself from that kind of rhetoric anyway.

OTOH, as an American I understand Hater Depot's immense frustration even while I accede each and every one of your points.

My jingo uncle sent me an article that claimed Clinton was suddenly polarizing what happened on '9-11.' There are two realities in the United States right now. You can use every shred of reason to state why you think George W. Bush is a terrible President, and the response you get from family members is, 'You must think the administration detonated the Towers, that's why you want to negotiate with the terrorists!'

umm, let's see,

entering office at the time of the dot-com crash and stock market meltdown, 8 months later the worst attack on America in hostory, followed by two wars that deposed a bunch of facists keen on our destruction (yes, Saddam dreamt of it), followed by the worst natural disaster in American history (Clinton btw, cut funding for LA's levy system, and both the state and local governments were run by corrupt inept democrats)...


and yet, Wall Street is approaching all-time highs, the deficit is rapidly shrinking, unemployment is at 4.5%, the economy is still doing well, and for those intrerested in alternative energies, the production and use of solar energy, wind energy, ethanol and bio-diesels are increasing every year to a record level


oh, and the Taleban are no longer in charge of a nation, Osama is hiding in a cave, and Saddam is in a court of his Iraqi peers... Libya has foresworn WMD's and Abdul Qadeer Khan is non longer plying his wares to the likes of NK, Iran, etc.


What a terrible mess Bush has wrought....

[Hater Depot]

Ah yes, I forgot. Everything good is due to Bush and everything bad was entirely and completely out of his hands, and probably is somehow Clinton's fault to boot.

I could make a long list of what you left, but that would take too much and someone else will do it anyway. I advise to change your needle cuz the record's skipping.

B-??????? What are you smoking and please share!

1. 9/11 - worst attack on american soil in history right under Bushies nose

2. Afghanistan - 5 years on and still not in control of the country.

3. Iraq - Invaded the wrong country (whoops!) and now stuck in Vietnam Redux

4. Gitmo - Torture camps run by the US in Cuba and around the globe American image abroad the lowest its ever been.

5. Katrina - Largest natural disaster in American History (not his fault) compleate government pooch screw (his fault). Heckuva job Brownie!

6. Destruction of the constitution - The Bush Crime Family roles back the centuries old rights of its citizens to "protect" them. Why didn't they have to do this to fight the commies??????

7. Crime Rate on the rise - Under Clinton the violent crime rate dropped to all time lows and the country's cities experienced a relative calm. At first credited to longer jail sentences but more likely due to the economic highs of the 90's economic boom. Under Bush crime is on the rise again with murder becoming endemic in cities like New Orleans, Washington DC, etc

8. Budget Deficits - Taking Clintons 230 billion dollar surplus and turning 180 degrees. Bush is bankrupting America's future. All the while China and India are buying gold, US currency and Bonds setting themselves up for the future.

9. Compleate failure to secure America - Bush has been unable to secure the ports, cargo, the borders, airports, etc. Despite spending billions he still tries to sell the ports to Arabs. Smooth operator!

10. The total polarization of the USA. He and his brain have split the country into either Jesus loving, flag waving yahoo rednecks or terrorist supporting, granola eating, god hating, abortion loving leftist hollywood bombthrowers.

Bush has it by the balls, whatever he does...

All because of that particularly American notion of "rally around the commander in chief" in times of crisis. Idiocy and I don't know why they have this gut reflex, this patriotic tic

all Bush has to do is continue to crank out the propaganda of crisis, war, fear, threat. ............ this can't be beat. Nobody will vote him or his henchmen down.

He is a classic example of Goerring's " if you are going to lie, tell a big lie. Everyone will have to believe it."
