If all this happened under a Democratic President?

[SHRED]

What do you think the talkshows would be saying?
What Congressional investigations would have taken place?
How fast would he have already been impeached?

:wow:

[Sperk]

1. A Dem would have been impeach after 9/11.

And NEVER would have gotten away with all the war lies.

[KingFlorez]

2. A Democrat would be under the jail

Guaranteed

[Norwood]

3. All the talking heads in the media would be talkin about it

The (D) President would have been impeached a long time ago.

[niyad]

4. a dem wouldn't have gotten this far--agree that he would have been

thrown out right after 9/11--ESPECIALLY if it came out that he had ignored the 6 aug PDB.

[Crunchy Frog]

10. And it sure as hell would have come out.

The media would have been on it like flies on shit if it had happened under a Democrat. If a Dem was president, we sure as hell wouldn't be sitting here complaining about the news media not doing their job. They would be working overtime to expose absolutely everything out there about the president's negligence in allowing the country to be attacked, and LIHOP and MIHOP would be mainstream views promoted heavily on mainstream news and talk shows. Hell, remember all the people that the Clintons supposedly had murdered, and the people talking about that were never accused of being nutso conspiracy theorists.

5. Limbaugh would be calling for a civil war, Fox would lead insurrection

Red-state wingnut rednecks or all stripes would be organizing into "citizen militias" and threatening to march into "Dee-Cee" if the entire Democratic leadership did not resign...

That and much more is what you would expect if a Democrat had done only HALF of what Bush/Cheney have done in their tenure.

:mad:

[MI Cherie]

7. Speaking of Militias ...

... where are they now?

Why haven't we heard from them?

Their worst nightmare is coming true and not a word from them?

[porphyrian]

13. ATF, DHS and the FBI are so far up their asses by now...

...they'd disappear the moment they loaded a gun.

[Julius Civitatus]

15. Because the president is a Republican

They ONLY organized into militias in a frenzy of conspiracy theories and hate WHEN the president was Clinton. See, "Clinton was gonna git yer guns away." Clinton was gonna "surrender the US to the black-helicopter stormtroopers of the secret U.N. organization bent on world domination in alliance with the Illuminati and the Elders of Zion, and bring about the New World Order... Booooo!!!!"

Remember all that crap?

Remember all the bullshit conspiracy theories the wingnut rednecks pulled out of their asses to justify their militias? They were convinced that a Democratic president, Clinton, was going to turn the US to foreign control. It was INSANITY!!!! They truly thought Clinton was going to do SOME OF THE THINGS BUSH HAS DONE!!!

The difference is that their inbred, coke-fiend, fraternity, silver-spoon hero is now in power. It's OK if THEY do it. It's perfectly OK if it's one of their own violating the constitution.

The lesson here, once again: IOKIYAR

It's OK If You Are Republican

[Kiouni]

6. I might have to

consider the green party

[Crunchy Frog]

8. Not only impeached, but drawn and quartered and hung by the balls

from the nearest tree. And his own party would have been a large part of the lynch mob.

Look at what they did to Clinton over some invented "scandals" and a sexual indiscretion, and imagine what they would have done to him if he had done something that was actually bad.

Democrats don't have the kind of loyalty that Repugs do. They won't even stand by each other under normal circumstances. They won't hesitate to throw their own under the train when things get really bad.

14. And his own party would have been a large part of the lynch mob.

absolutely

[DemInDistress]

9. President Al Gore had no ulterior motives to allow 911..

therefore the world would have a brighter outlook. These scumbag oilmen from Texas are back stabbing cut throats supported by rouge Army Warhawks looking for
action and defense contractors who were starving for new war contracts (Carlyle).
James Baker 4/01'laments "how do we shape public opinion" maybe a new Pearl Harbor.

[Rocknrule]

11. If we had a dem:

-9/11 wouldn't have happened, or
-if it had happened, not only would the president have been impeached, he would probably not be alive

[mattclearing]

12. It wouldn't. n/t

[carolinalady]

16. agree n/t
