Has the SS Bush hit the iceberg and is their fate sealed?
or am I nuts?

I might be wrong but it seems to me that the SS Bush is going down.

Fitz
Katrina (he keeps trying to unring the bell .... each time it blows up in his
face)
his poll #s
the press seems to have awoken
Iraq is spinning out of control
Meirs
DeLay & Abrhamof
Noe and Coingate are about to blow .... Mrs Noe ran the Lucas County BOE
(Toledo, OH)
and republicans are now starting to scramble from him

Oh well .... i might be wrong. I thought Kerry was going to crush bush
in Ohio.

p.s. for everybody in OHIO www.reformohionow.org (the swift boat ad
team is against us)

18. Yes, it is a good picture...and apropos, too!
I found it on this site:

WEB MEMORIAL POSTER EXHIBITION - Aleksandr Chantsev and Iurii Bokser
http://www.posterpage.ch/mem/bokser/bokser.htm

With this caption:
1989, Slava, political poster
The rats try to leave the sinking ship in a lifeboat called "Slava" (honour, fame, the parade cheer of the communist party), but the boat is already stuck in the mud.


Sound familiar?


My take:
"rats" = Republicans, and GOP enablers;
"sinking ship" = George W. Bush and his administration policies;
"Slava" = "family values," "personal responsibility," "war against terrorism," and other GOP platitudes;
"stuck in mud" = karma, fate, justice, destiny.

5. Rearranging the deck chairs?
I am betting they somehow manage to skate on this, as they have everything else. :shrug: I think that Kerry actually did crush ** in Ohio, ** cheated.

6. B.S.N.
I have no doubt about it (Kerry winning Ohio). The #s, the exit polls, and the
turnout all showed a Kerry win.

9. My boosh-bot mother hasn't been convinced yet.
I thought she was starting to see the light when she saw Thom Hartmann on some show & told me "he seems reasonable & I like him." But judging by the hateful crap she's sent me lately, the Kool-aid is still working.

:banghead:

17. The iceberg is named "Responsibility"
Edited on Thu Oct-13-05 12:46 AM by rainbow4321
Is it any wonder that chimp has not looked very happy lately and there are reports of him being hostile??
For the first time in his adulthood, he just may be facing the R word..RESPONSIBILITY!

Anyone in TX remember his response back in Nov 2000 when a TX reporter asked him how he was going to deal with angry TX lawmakers when they convened in Jan 2001?? Angry over the state finances being in the red, pretty close to being bankrupt under chimp?? His response: "I hope not to be here then" .

His hollow statement of taking responsibility over the federal response to Katrina means nothing (to me, anyway). He needs to experience responsibility WITH CONSEQUENCE.

HOPEfully that is what we have to look forward to in the weeks ahead once the grand jury returns indictments and his regime starts to fall apart...and him going down along with the rest of his crooked cronies.
