Media won't connect the dots...911 prevented = "Bush Knew" = can't trust
Edited on Thu Dec-18-03 08:20 PM by cthrumatrix
They refuse to paint the picture of the intelligence received and that his administration did "nothing".

The typical discussion is .."there are alot of agencies and smokestacks that didn't talk" to each other ...and that's the failure.

Bringing down a few lower level people will not change the direction of this "evil empire". It's going to take ALOT of detailed facts and "repeating" by the media to "un-brainwash the sheeple".



This is why we need to keep repeating "Bush Knew" mantra. It will make people ask "how do you know"? and hopefully you have your facts.


All of this should point to the strategy of "you can't trust Bush"...

If people ask why you won't vote..."I can't trust him" !!!

1. But it's not just that they did nothing...
It is also (and irrefutably so) that:

1 - They lied (and pretended to be surprised - "A terrible pilot" and all that BS
2 - They obstructed a congressional investigation

2. Excellent idea!
It's short and to the point. "I can't trust him" needs to be our mantra. It's so much easier for the people to digest than trying to lay out a conspiracy theory.

"I can't trust him"

"I can't trust him"

"I can't trust him"

3. good take. "I don't trust him" is a better lead in to "He lied" than, well
He Lied!

5. The buck never stops, it just keeps passing
I think our nominee should talk a lot about what a Commander-in-Chief is supposed to do, what his responsibilities are.

He should make the point that if Bush didn't know, he should have known. Bush is ultimately responsible. If there were failures in the intelligence community and Bush says he is capable of defending us against terror, why didn't he try to fix the problem before the damage was done?

I think the spin will come out like Bush was a victim. They will say that the problem was with the government agencies that Clinton was responsible for and that he did a poor job and then handed the mess off to Bush.

The right will blame Clinton. Our nominees should not let that stand but they may also not get the coverage they should if they try to say what needs to be said.

8. furthermore, do your best not to tell any one

in addition, forget Hart/Rudman. The warnings are so important, give them to Cheney. Then let Cheney forget about them in favor of dealing with Kenny boy.

Then go on vacation. Scratch that - EVERY ONE goes on vacation. For a month.

Stop flying commercial too.

Face it, your trifecta-boy failed big time. Condi lied through her shoddy teeth... when the shit hit the fan and it was time for action, your little action figure listened to some children's book.

love and kisses,
me

11. Hey, Big Idea - I didn't get my Month-long vacation this year
or last year, or any year for that matter. In fact, I get no paid vacation whatsoever.

Could you please let the pReppy pResident* know that I would like the same Vacation Package he gets. We are all equal aren't we.


* AWOL while honor-bound by solemn oath to be serving with the Texas National Guard in the 1970s; defeated by a clear majority of patriotic and discerning American voters in the 2000 election; appointed to office by the so-called supreme court.

9. The Playbook Reveals Itself
But few Democrats want to risk the wrath of either the Patriot Police or another round of Anthrax mailings.

10. And this is "America"..... what the hell happened?
Power ...greed...corruption and now they own they own the media message.

The "sheeple" are earning a living, raising their family...trying to make good...while the "haze of truth and poor leadership" is taking us places I never thought possible.

Without the media or a voice of balance ...where does one start?
