Okay, Bush II dropouts and whistle blowers.. It is TIME
Time for all of you to band together and state your cases AS A GROUP.. It seems as if every day we are "introduced" to this person or that who has "resigned" or just plain quit over the arrogance and ineffectual leadership of this mis-administration..

There needs to be a nationwide "casting call" to get all these folks together.. One by one, they are portrayed as ..."slackers, disgruntled employees, people with mental problems, greedy bureaucrats..etc"..

There's a guy who's going to testify "against" Ashcroft next week at the 9-11 hearings, and of course all weekend we will be prepared for his testimony.. He plans to say that Ashcroft did NOTHING about terrorism before 9-11..

These people need to do like the widows did.. They must present a united front, and the fact that they come from all over...CIA,FBI,Justice, and even the WH, that alone, should give them credibility...and help to paint a pretty ugly picture.. The picture is of an administration that was staffed with unqualified cronies, who were totally incapable of their paramount duty... protecting the citizens of the USA..

When you look at the "appointments", it's so blatantly obvious that we have been duped...BIG TIME..

Ashcroft is nothing but a bigoted, religious zealot , and is not qualified to be attorney general.. He couldn't even win against a dead man.. Missouri was glad to be rid of him..

Ridge is just a big ole honyock-blockhead who weaseled his way to a governorship.. He has done NOTHING that would qualify him to be head of THE AGENCY that should coordinate all the "protective agencies" of government

Ann Veneman is not in the least qualified to be secretary of agriculture..

Condoliar Rice is/was not qualified for her job either.. She apparently does not even know WHAT her job is..

Colin Powell is such a wishy-washy now, that he is totally useless.. He had a brief window-of-opportunity for a few months, but he was content to "ride in back with the luggage" too often, and he has proved to be superfluous..

Spencer Abraham is a know nothing who was too weak to win re-election..

Tommy Thompson...'nuff said

Gail Norton, former lead and mining lobbyist, in charge of our environment?? Give me a break..

It just goes on and on and on..

Our president has played an evil trick on us all, and there are disgruntled (and justifiably so) people from his administration who OWE the public their testimony.. To the "koolaid crowd" it won't matter, but there are many people out here who still have not connected the dots.. They OWE it to us and to their own children to help us get rid of the vermin infestation at 1600 Pennsylvania..

I firmly believe that if 30-40 "formers" showed up at CBS, and wanted to talk, there would be people ready to listen, and to give them airtime..

1. I was thinking this very thing....
Each has had so many important things to say, but the Bush fan club dismisses them. If they had a united front, and got some good airtime, they could present a really strong message.

2. i often wonder if Christie Whitman Todd (Sp)

3. Bet on it..
She never "enjoyed" her job.. You could see it on her face.. She may be a republican, but she has always struck me as a fairly honest person.. She knew that she was a token, put in charge of something that was not really her milieu..

6. christie was also a 'water-boy' for bush*...she gutted the EPA...
some people may forget that her biggest qualification was that she CUT THE N.J. ENVIRONMENTAL BUDGET IN HALF, right after she assumed the Governorship....when she got to the EPA, in a combination of incompetence and bush* orders, she gutted the agency...

8. These may be the only people who can save our Nation.
These people have credibility with many of the so called swing voters. They are people who are privy to much of what has been going on and going wrong under this administration`s leadership. It takes true courage on all their parts to come forword with the statements they have made. The Administration`s crew is very adept at harming those who cross them. I believe it is finally begining to NOT work for them anymore. The statements from all those who have come forward, all corraborate each other and a concensus of former admin. officials are provididing the public with an increasingly undeniable body of evidence as to this Admin.`s arrogant incompetence and dishonesty in all regards. It does remind me of Nixon`s unduing and I thank all these true American patriots. ...Oscar

11. Some of them could parade through AirAmerica
Get it on audio, archived, and download and burn cassettes and CDs for family and friends around the country.

A simple audio-samizdat movement based on AirAmerica and cheap CDs and cassettes could bring down the house of cards by June 30. (And let a real president deal with Iraq.)

Remember how flimsy the right wing always is when you start to push on it. It just collapses when you hit it with a feather.

If the whistleblowers organized... it would be awesome what they could do. The public would eat it up too... We love reality shows now.

Just get a cable network or something, paid for by George Soros or someone, and give them all airtime. Bush will collapse within weeks.

12. Actually, radio and TV airtime should be DONATED
Did anyone hear radical fringe activist WALTER CRONKITE on AirAmerica tonight? (During Kaplan's show.)

He was reminding us that WE own the airwaves. Every year, broadcasters have to apply to renew their license with the FCC - and they have to show that they are serving the public insterest.

Cronkite reminded us that WE THE CITIZENS can show up at these license renewal hearings and, as owners of the airwaves, request that our interests be served.

We should requeition Fox News from Rupert Murdoch, revoke his corporate charter on the grounds of slander and libel, and turn his broadcasting infrastructure into the Whistleblower Network.

I'm only half-joking.
