GOP keeping 'WMDs were in Iraq" alive is another Terry Schiavo Effort
Santorum's desperate performance yesterday, trying to revive the myth of WMD in Iraq, a desperate effort to salvage the rusty tool from B*shco's propaganda chest, reminds me of Bill Frist M.D., spinning on the Senate Floor that Terry Schiavo was in fact, not (brain) dead. Two desperate politicians, one with presidential ambitions, trying to distract the public from an ongoing SEC investigation, the other just trying to keep his job in 2006. Both touting transparent falsehoods to a public they must have contempt for.

I believe Americans know better this time. Reality and fact have to transcend political spin. Through the thicket of MSM bias, Americans see the utter chaos, death and futility that B*sh has created and the GOP passively accepts. "Stay the course" means "Stay Forever". Americans will reject that. Fuck the MSM spin on Democratic infighting. We are debating an EXIT plan-- Democrats will get us OUT of Iraq, and that is what America WANTS. We are the reality-based party.

2. 2 things about these old WMD's, 1) Rove would have had the banners
made already and would be unfurling them everywhere if there was a there---there and 2) Using the GOP's own bullshit---"there were no WMD's because they were all moved to Syria!!!"

so which is it? I know, it's bullshit.

7. David Kay the cheif weapons inspector already said they weren't there
That the MSM even reports this as news, just like they did the swift puke garbage shows what we are up against

This will be quoted until election day in November. It is the big lie which the media will help spread, just like they did about Iraq and 9/11 were connected

May the people responsible for this burn in hell

6. how true...and the autopsy
will reveal a festering ooze of lies and deception, as Schiavo's revealed a liquified cerebral cortex.

4. That episode cost Frist any hope of a national run.
The sanatorium /hokey blunder is probably his last before his final humiliation.

5. And the fact that the DoD shot it down so quickly proves
just how "brain-dead" the GOP has become.

Nice thing though...............this could bring back (by the MSM talking heads) a discussion about WHY we went into Viet....er, Iraq. Kinda bookends with the Dems that are currently pushing an exit plan.

Iraq being the number 1 reason for the current polling data, keeping that stirred up until Nov can only be a good thing.

8. Another "We found WMD's" comes up at least once a week
over at freerepulic, and of course never pans out. The only difference in this one is that it a least made it to the Drudge Report before it will die.
