The Stuff Bush is getting away With

[erpowers]

I was looking through the new book "Fraud" and what I saw shocked me a little bit. I went to the appendix to look at a list of Bush's lies. It surprised me what Bush has been able to get away with. There were lies about going to war, "I went to war. I raised twin daugthers. If I had to chose I would rather go to war." Their were lies about being attacked by McCain, "McCain accused me of being anti-catholic". The list continued on. It just amazed me that Bush got away with telling so many lies. I almost cannot believe the media allowed him to do that much lying.

1. BECAUSE THE PUBLIC LETS HIM...

That enrages me more than anything - that the public ALLOWS Bush and company to do the things they do.

5. exactly

that's the simplest and most bizarre aspect of bushco's success:
we've simply allowed it all to happen with quiet dignity for lack of a better term.

we allowed the stolen election, we accepted bush's stonewalling the nine eleven commission, we shrugged a bit when enron and worldcom showed bushco is robbing the treasury, we allowed dick cheney to profit from genocide, we allowed 1000 soldiers to die.

they've gotten away with all this and more because we the people did not stop them.

2. He gets away with it in the media because...

...he gives them manflesh to eat. He's from the Saruman school of political philosophy.

6. Then Who's Sauran?

7. Don't know

Presumably, that's who Cheney is conferring with in his hidden bunker. I understand that such conferences are actually black rites to keep Cheney corporeal.

8. Hmmm..... Cheney a ringwraith...

makes sense- I'm going to have to start a Tolkien thread now...

9. A Tolkein thread?

My greatest fear realized! (See you there. :) )

3. Bush tells the Big Lie

and the Big Lie is hard to defeat. It's taking everything this country has, but we are going to prevail.

4. Nobody can keep up with them....

He tells them so fast and furiously.
