bush*: "We are a nation in danger"
That's what he said today.....

"We are a nation in danger," Mr. Bush said as he announced his position during an appearance with top administration national security figures in the White House Rose Garden.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/07/28/national/main632420.shtml

But, just a few weeks ago bush* said...not once, not twice, but seven times that "the American people are safer"

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2004/07/20040712-5.html

Which is it? I'm confused.
:crazy:

3. Hmmm My Interpretations...
"We are a nation in danger" = "Looks like I'm going to lose the election in Novemeber"

"the American people are safer" = "My rich buddies have their tax cuts".

4. And Kerry gets blasted for having complex views of the world.
I think what bush meant to say was, "We are a nation in danger if Kerry gets elected."

I'm beginning to think most people believe the terror alerts are meant to scare you out of voting for Kerry and continue to back bush.

Someone needs to ask him what he means - are we safe or in danger?

11. Go ahead
You know that if he does fall off of them, he'd never e-e-e-ever go to a lawyer to secure compensation for his injuries!

9. Flip, Flop, Flup
Bush camp can't find a message to stick to.

But when you have a record of failure, what do you expect.

12. I've been saying that since December 12, 2000. . .
and now it seems even Shrub's realized the venality of his ways.

13. Know what's really really funny?

Whatever Bush says, Kerry will turn it around and flap it back at him then say he'd know exactly what to do...then tell the audience what he'd do.

14. What happened to "Bring 'em on!" and "Mission Accomplished"?
What about "We have turned the corner?" If our "heroic" troops and genius "Intelligenc Community" are doing such a bang-up job, why are we "a nation in danger"?

15. And no one in the media will call him out on this bullshit
Jon Stewart or Bill Maher, maybe. But not our "news media".
