One of the Top 10 Conservative LIARS would do as well.

1. Isn't it amazing? What really worries me is that NOBODY believes them
any more. If, God forbid, A REAL THREAT comes along, Americans might get hurt unnecessarily because they DON'T BELIEVE THE JERKS!!!!

3. Bush should've been reading "The Boy Who Cried Wolf"
"The Hungry Caterpiller" didn't teach him anything.

2. Ah, the poor SOB's just a puppet.
In way over his head. The real idiot is the guy giving him his marching orders.

7. What homeland security?
Bush never properly funded the project. Did you see F911? One guy patrolling the Northern Pacific Coast who had no training, no manuals.

Homeland security is just a right-wing propaganda tool.

6. My nominations:
Edited on Tue Aug-03-04 01:08 PM by BloodyWilliam
George W. Bush: He's been on pretty much every Top 10 Conservative Idiot since before he came into office!

Tom Ridge: Coming from Pennsylvania, I know he sucked. Now he sucks in a national and pathetically ineffectual way.

John Ashcroft: God told me he should be in the Top 10.

Zell Miller: He can have his opinions, but if he disagrees with everything in the party and supports Bush, why doesn't he SWITCH TO REPUBLICAN???

9. Ridge also said on the Monday "news" shows the news was 36 hours old
What a LIAR he is. He said that the warning had just been listed in the last 36 hours trying to disprove the timing of the story. You know just in time for the Monday AM shows. Then police chief Casey of New York follows him and says the warning had come in the last 72 hours!? So, Ridge is lying. The gall of these creeps using terrorism as a political tool.

10. I believe..
Tom Ridge is resigning because of these terra alerts he is forced to give right at the time when things are looking good for the democrats or if a major scandal concerning the GOP or * is about to break.

11. No...

you have to listen VERY carefully to what he has said. I believe
that every word is the truth.

It's just the impression that is such a HUGE F'ING LIE!

coupled with his department actions that reinforce the impression.

"Danger Will Robinson! Warning! Warning!"
