The Bush Pub Crew have tried everything and they are still losing
Edited on Tue Jun-22-04 11:48 AM by opihimoimoi
They have Money, Position, and Power; a huge Combo and yet lagging in the polls since Kerry emerged as the "Nominee".

So why are the BuSSh SStaffers going bonkers with a losing scoreboard?

Lets count the ways they use to win...er... in this case
....lose.

Power: Bush Family Name and Dads connections

Money: Give big tax cuts to big donors, sucker the misled sheep, big companies, etc.

Propaganda: use psyops to sway peoples minds on a National scale; Rush Limpdick, etc.

Deceit: Distort, Distract, denigrate, destroy, and Disembowel the opposition

Blame: Always make the other guy look bad. Shoot the messengers, teach them a lesson.

Make war on Reason, Sanity, and Common sense: These are not good for the Pub Party. Embrace Delusion, far better to swallow pain and misery.

Patriotism: They are using the Patriotism, the Flag thing. Luv America or leave it... to no avail.

Come, we go drink some Kava, make us numb.

1. Thus making them
extremely dangerous = we're in trouble, while they go underground.

2. Bush and the NeoCons may be thinking about hitting the "panic button".
Bush and the NeoCons are in a corner. The time when they can count on the media to promote their particular point of view is fast running out. The time when the media could successfully sell a particular point of view is fast running out. Even the New York Times apologized (sort of) for misleading the public about the mythical Iraqi WMDs, shamed for having been fooled (we are told) by claims every Internet blogger knew were lies from the start. The fraud and deception will not last until the November elections. The fraud and deception will not survive another month at the current rate of exposures. All across Europe, elections are turning disastrously against politicians who supported Bush's wars. The writing is on the wall.

Bush and the NeoCons may be thinking about hitting the "panic button".

What I refer to is, of course, a last ditch attempt to prop up his sagging poll numbers and revive support for the wars of conquest by staging yet another phony "terror" attack, framing it on the intended invadee. Planes crashing into buildings is now passé, and repeating that stunt would only underscore the utter uselessness of the millions of dollars spent on increased airport security. So, scratch that one. Maybe a truck with a bomb in it on the Golden Gate Bridge? Those San Franciscans got lots of other bridges anyway and there are lots of great places for the news crews to shoot from at the Presidio. Ah, but maybe that's not scary enough. Not every city has a bridge, and Tacoma survived the collapse of "Galloping Gerty" without major trauma. Soooooooooo, mebbe a suitcase nuke welded to the keel of a cargo ship? The US is trying to make a war-justification over Iran's supposed nuclear ambitions. Or will the staged attack be everyone's favorite bogeyman, BIOLOGICAL TERROR!

If you are out to scare the crap out of people in order to enslave them, germs make a great tool. But, you don't want to use a germ that might possibly race out of control and kill off more of your gross domestic product than the despot's plan allowed for. Things like that look bad on a resume. That's where Anthrax comes in. Anthrax has a low secondary communicability. That is, the spores will infect people, but infected people will not infect other people easily. Anthrax is not actually a terror weapon, it is a battlefield weapon, specifically chosen to render an army ill but NOT to easily escape into the surrounding population. Real terrorists, of course, would choose a pathogen with a high degree of secondary communicability so that the target population does the work of spreading it around. Fake terrorists choose a pathogen that won't spread beyond its intended target.

<snip>

As of this writing there are some disturbing developments. The bulk of the US and British fleets are at sea, ostensibly for exercises, but geographically well positioned for a sudden "intervention" in the event of "something unforeseen". A rumor currently circulating on the Internet (and admittedly not confirmed at this time) is that the United States provided Israel with two aerial refueling tankers last week. These tankers will allow Israel's warplanes, already overflying the border with Lebanon in a clear provocation, greater reach across the Mideast, deep into Iran. And as of this morning, British patrol boats were where they should not have been, and have been confiscated by the Iranians in what appears to be another set-up.

So, what is Bush planning?

Put it this way; what option besides starting a new war does Bush have to save himself?

It's the last sentence that's the kicker.

4. 11/2 He will cry like a bratty 2-year-old, wetting himself at the podium.

James Carville will throw a net over him and drag him to the tower (see Richard III to get that one).

7. The danger is real, that this fool Bush would try something outlandish and
dangerous for HIS OWN benefit... forget us Americans and the dire consequencses his policies have wrought.

He and his cabal are far more dangerous than realized/suspected.

Look at how they play with words to legitimize their POW Torture activities. Are they that stupid to not know the consequences; beheading, etc of Coalition prisoners? Looks like it.

6. Bush spending most of his capital to no avail, still trailing at the polls
Edited on Tue Jun-22-04 02:32 PM by opihimoimoi
Shows what a LOSING MESSAGE he has. Very few are biting for the bait this time around. The Misled sheep are waking to see they got HAD. Too much Blood, too much treasure lost in propping this chimpster of the first degree.

10. Maybe they could have Reagan die again?
He was an actor, surely he'd understand, "Reagan Death Scene, Take Two" {Clack!}

11. Of all the Awful things they tried, they attempted to tie in Bush with the
Gipper. Most Pubs were aghast and mortified with the Carl Rove Move and said so. Thus the Bushies pulled back from that maneuver. How Crass and Classless they are.

13. Decietful is what the Pubs are,
Nothing positive to report in 3 1/2 losing years, the head coach Bush wants a 4 year extention. How Rude.

He even is photo oping his record trying like hell to make himself look shiny.

Only the misled sheep out there and the lazy ones believe the dude.

Any person with some brains can figure out this "Coach" is a losing one.

14. Credibility was a Bush's biggest selling point (to the uninformed). The
more folks find out about the Chimp's lying, fraudulent administration, the smaller his image becomes.

The Incredible Shrinking President.
