47. The day he was selected I vowed never to refer to him as president
Edited on Wed Oct-27-04 10:37 AM by rocknation
or to his gang as an administration. Four days after 9/11, I yelled at my TV, "Dammit, stop telling me how to feel!" I hit the Internet because I knew I couldn't possibly be the only person who felt that there was more to 9/11 than we were being told.

I found a web site that explained the Bush-bin Laden family connection and said that Osama had been trained by the CIA. I also found Michael Moore's site, which led me to Democrats.com. When I tried to find Democrats.com again, I ended up at DU instead. The first thing I was posted here was something about having found a safe haven.

About two weeks after Bush started saying that the attack had bin Laden's fingerprints all over it, I posted on DU, "If we don't put some thought into how we retaliate, we're going to end up with a war that has Viet Nam's fingerprints all over it." The rest is history, LOL!
