.."If Bush loses the election, it will be a victory for bin Laden"...
Edited on Fri Mar-05-04 02:40 PM by SoCalDem
MSRNC bimbette just uttered those words.. I know it will be attributed to some rightwing wacko, but geeeeezzzzz.. How lame is that???

He might as well say .Elect me, or bin Laden will blow up your kids' school :eyes:

I think that this gang of fools is the most desperate bunch of thugs that I have ever seen.. They have been doing so many irrational and dangerous things to our country, our constitution, our military, our environment..you name it .. I don't think they can "afford" to lose..

All the governmental machinations that they have set in motion would NEVER be willingly just "handed over" to a Dem...ANY Dem.. They plan to hold power by whatever means necessary..

It's really starting to scare me a little.:(

5. That's my point.. They have set the stage for Act II
and they have no intentions of having the understudy play the "death scene"..

Poppy had big plans for term #2 and he never got it.. Junior has NO intention of doing the same..

They are not going to leave..even if they lose :(

2. I say: "Schnarfffff!"
Let's clue them a little. Reality tells us that Bin Laden is one of many many terrorists. Catching Bin Laden is irrelevent. The attacks will continue now, and thanks to ass-munch-bush, we'll see even more.

Hey Bush....pull my ass inside out and chew on it like a piece of bubble gum.

12. Eggs Ackley
To think B.L. hasn't made huge plans for his immediate replacement should he be caught is foolish.

8. How about this come-back?
Bin Laden won when Bush lost interest in Afghanistan and invaded Iraq. That's pretty much how I feel about it.

9. How so? They're on the same ticket.
Bush, bin Laden...you think they're foes?
They're in business together; Daddy Bush knows.

11. Bush assuming White House in 2001 was a victory for bin Laden!
Well, Bush assuming the White House in January of 2001 was certainly a victory for bin Laden. If Gore had won, the special forces and missile ships ready to roll in Afghanistan would not have been sent home while we rewarded bin Laden's Taliban hosts for fighting drugs. The Hart-Rudman report warning of the dangers of terrorism and bin Laden would not have been ignored. The August 6, 2001 intelligence briefing that stated terrorists were going to fly planes into buildings would not have been met with John Ashcroft no longer flying commercial.

16. I suspect it will get much darker than that during this election season..
That is merely the opening salvo.

Far be it from the average American to realize that bin-Laden already won. Just look at what has happened to the nation. Fascism is no longer an abstract ideology practiced during the 1940's, it is knocking down the door right here.

But the real reason bin-Laden won, is because we remain in fear of threats that are possibly real, but most likely made up by the administration, of inevitable invasion of this nation. That is absurd, as those with more than 3 firing synapses know.

Fear is what motivates both bin-Laden and bush. As long as they can manipulate fear, they will continue to browbeat everyone that is malleable to their way of thinking.

Once the fear has dissipated, there is nothing left for them to move on. They are devoid of anything of substance.

17. Bush Gave Bin Laden A Holiday
Determined to use 911 as a pretense to get Saddam... Bush pulled intelligence and spec ops troops from Afghanistan and diverted them to the planned war against Iraq. In the process he gave Bin Laden a 12-18 month breather. Now, just in time for the election... Bush wants the attention back on Bin Laden who'd been given a holiday courtesy of Bush. Some war against terrorism.
