So let me get this straight.....the former president manipulated terror levels prior to an election.
....and yet some people are angry beyond belief at the current president because he what? He wanted to give us all better access to health care?

What the hell is wrong with you, America?

3. I can't wait to see what the terra-lert defenders have to say about this.
No doubt the talking points are being written as we type.

10. See, now we really don't need to be disgruntled,
cuz if the spirit moves the DOJ, they could indict the people who did this. Cuz we won the election. They wern't expecting to lose.

12. Manipulating terror levels; swiftboating Kerry; depriving many people in Ohio of their voting rights
The Republicans had interesting ways of defending 'democracy'.

And of course Dear Tony was prepared to co-operate with them, to the point of endangering his own citizens.

15. I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell you!
Oh, no, wait--I always said the terror alerts were completely for political purposes. "Don't forget, now; any second, you could be the next victim. Lucky for you you've got such an awesome prez protecting you with his war and Patriot Act and whatnot."
