Will Bush Fool the People Twice?
Bush/PNAC fooled the nation and took us to war with their lies and deceptions. Shame on them. But, if the country doesn't wake up after all that has been revealed....the onus will be on the people. Fool me once...shame on you, Fool me twice.....well, you know...

FOOL ME TWICE (SHAME ON ME!)
A MESSAGE TO THE BUSH/PNAC ADMINISTRATION
FROM TVNEWSLIES

I really have to hand it to you guys – you won the first round with flying colors! It took a major tragedy to set you up, but, boy did you ever pull it off! Timing is everything, I suppose, and you PNAC folk were right on cue. You jumped in at the right moment and rang all the alarm bells. There was no time to lose, you told us. We were in terrible danger, you told us. We were on the verge of being nuked, anthraxed, and smallpoxed, you told us. We were in imminent danger, you told us. You were good. You were damn convincing. And a lot of very nervous people all over the country really believed that we had to go to war!
Hey, it worked. You were fooling a helluva lot of people. It made sense to keep at it, and you did. ...

1. Well, if he does fool the
idiot American sheeple twice, I am SO FUCKING OUT OF HERE! It'll either be Canada, Ireland, or England, and I'm dead fucking serious.

I WILL NOT stay in a country whose citizens fall victim to propaganda and media-whore spin, and who elect the worst and most dangerous prez we've ever had, and I WILL NOT stay and watch the trashing and destroying of this once-great country, and watch the idiot sheeple allow him to do so and letting him get away with it by just waving the 9/11 card around to justify anything and everything.

I have a son to think about. I've been fighting since Raygun was first elected when I was in high school, and I'M TIRED! I'm tired of trying to convince stupid idiot sheeple of what's really happening, and if Shrub's elected it's all over anyway.

2. He'll fool many people
Edited on Thu Jan-29-04 11:41 AM by Homer12
Yet, the idea and the fact that Bushco is a dishonest, politics over policy over reason, administration that makes suppossed "good intention" descions that turn out with dire effects will make many think twice about voting for him or Republicans whom became Bushco's whores.

And Bushco can never go back to being centerist, most of their policy descions are far to right-wing.

5. And paper-trail-less electronic touchscreen "voting" takes care of the
rest.

That is my greatest fear. That Rove and the rest of the Imperial Stooges don't worry about the 2004 "election' because they know it's over and they've already won.

So long as they don't lose by a margin that is too great to make up with manual disenfranchisemnt, vacation-home absentee double and triple-vote ballot stuffing, Phony Felon Purges, and now Touchscreen "Stalin Voting", they have no problem.

You are correct tha Corporate TV Pravda, floating lazily in the oily wake left by the Party-Loyal Bushevik Sub-Media does act to foll people where the information comes out and deny people the information in the first place.

This alone will keep the Democratic margin of victory below the 8% necessary to "win in a ultra-close race", and the Busheviks know it.

6. I don't believe the people are fooled at all
They just don't care if everything this administration does is unethical or illegal. Hey their side won and that is all that is important to them. They will vote for the Devil himself if it means stopping those evil "Liberals"

7. I have more faith in Americans...
I really believe most Americans need to believe that their leaders are telling them the truth. How many times have you heard the media lackeys asking, incredulously: Do you REALLY believe that the President would LIE? The idea has been hammered home that Bush is taking care of them. Impoossible to understand, but Karl Rove is a genius when it comes to thought control.

8. And if they trust their
leaders so much and refuse to believe that they'd lie, despite infinite evidence to the contrary, and believe that Shrub will take care of them, then I have no faith at all in them and I say the hell with it. If Shrub wins, I'm done with this country.

10. IN HIS OWN WORDS....
"There's an old sayin' in Tennesse -- I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennesse -- that says, 'Fool me once, shame on -- shame on you. Fool me -- you can't get fooled again.'" G. W. BUSH at East Literature Magnet School, Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 17, 2002

HOPEFULLY, "YOU CAN'T GET FOOLED AGAIN"!
