Bush decries terrorism, but doesn't care that a U.S. city is destroyed
Terra. Terra. Terra. That's all we ever hear from Bush. Yes, a major terrorist attack could do massive damage to a widespread area of a city, so it makes sense that a president would supposedly worry about such a scenario. But, obviously, Bush does not actually care if certain cities are destroyed. If he did, he would be leading a massive effort and mobilizing every resource at his disposal to put New Orleans back together. He is not. He doesn't give a crap. He has turned his back on New Orleans.

The conclusion, obvious to us all, is that Bush uses terror as a means to further his pro-corporate agenda. He doesn't care about the actual effects of terrorism; he only cares about using the fear of terrorism as a means to an end -- enrichment of his elite jaw-droppingly wealthy corporate ruling-class cronies, who can in turn line his political pockets.

Democrats need to distill this idea and frame this issue against Bush.

1. Bush's August 29th, 2005 Diary Entry: "Nothing important happened today"
Edited on Sat Dec-03-05 12:13 PM by bushmeat
Factoid: "Nothing important happened today" was an entry made by King George III of England in his diary on July 4, 1776

4. Another consistent thing he does is
LIE when he tells us "Good News" about Iraq, economy and media stories. I don't believe a thing he says. Yes, he is consistent on "adjusting" the news to further or promote his own agenda.
What a frickin LYING LOSER!!!!!! :puke:

5. HAVE THE DEMS GIVEN UP
OR THEY JUST DON'T GIVE A DAMN. Seems that dems in power are scared that they are going to lose their seats.Dems split over petty things and can't seem to stick together,while the repugs don't give a damn what their party thinks they just do what they want to do

6. "Funding" the war on Terra is big bucks. $1.5 billion a week big.
If that kind of attention were directed at helping US citizens, this would be the greatest country in the world.

Know them by their fruits.
