9/9 If Bush didn't go to War with Iraq, what would liberals be
complaining about?
\_ tax cuts for the rich, duh
\_ Ditching Afghanistan once it was no longer newsworthy.
\_ well, no, because if we didn't go into Iraq, there were a lot
of people that said we should have double-downed in Afghanistan
to nail bin Laden.
\_ we know where he is, we're just not going to nail him till
a few days before nov. 7.
\_ John Ashcroft, parts of the Patriot Act, etc.
\_ deciding policy based on the extremist views of a hardcore
Christian evangelical minority, completely ignoring Enron
fraudulenty pumping up energy rates in the west, using
"cut taxes" as his one and only response to anything
economic related, trying to get rid of 100 percent of the
estate tax permanently, pulling environmental crap like
gutting environmental laws and naming the bill
'the clear skies initiative', a culture of complete secrecy
and policy of never ever apologizing in his administration,
removing all civil service employment protection from
the employees of the new homeland security administration.
\_ This stuff is not being communicated to the mainstream.
The surface talk, which is all most people see, is all
about Kerry lamely defending one attack after another,
and the media showing one clip of Kerry saying economy=
bad and then another with Bush saying ecnomy=good. I
think people are generally much more aware of Kerry's
swift boat thing than the standard anti-Bush stuff
that pushed Dean to the top in the beginning, because
the other Dems weren't talking about it. Dean had the whole
thing with the grassroots funding and anti-special interests.
Kerry doesn't even really have a message these days, it's
just lost in the noise. "Can do better" is NOT compelling.
I have the feeling Kerry will flub the debates too.
\_ RAARRAGHHAAARHGH!!!1! -Dean
\_ actually it's "yeeAAAIIIIOOOURRRGHHGH!".
\_ The power of Kerry compels you! The power of Kerry
compels you! |
