The Republican Party's terrorist connections
"Waah! William Ayers! Waah!"

Republicans sure are vocal in their attempts to tie Obama to a never-convicted man they accuse of terrorism.

What happened to innocent until proven guilty?

And why do they act like they are so innocent?

Maybe the Bush Administration (Which McCain wants to emulate) can explain why they have Iran-Contra figures such as Elliott Abrams on board. This was about selling arms to a violent regime and then giving the profits to a terrorist movement. If you really think the Contras were about freedom, look up "Ben Linder" right now.

Maybe Republicans can explain their pardon of Orlando Bosch and making life easy for another terrorist, Luis Posada Carriles. If they were Islamic terrorists, they would be in Gitmo right now. But they're not, so why are they free?

Don't vote Republican because the Republican Party is connected to terrorism.

3. PNAC = Terrorist Cell
Dick Cheney, Jeb Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Scooter Libby, Condoleeza Rice, Douglas Feith... just to name a few...

You know what's *real* funny (strange)? Look at the PNACers and the high positions they held in the government and military at the time of the 9-11 attacks, the go read their "Rebuilding America's Defenses" and their plan for global dominance through military force. Pay attention to this part:

"The process of {military} transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event - like a new Pearl Harbor."

Then ask yourself why George W Bush said in his diary the night of Sept 11, 2001 {paraphrasing} 'Today was America's New Pearl Harbor'...

The biggest terrorists in America are living/working in the White House right now.

4. And what makes us think the terrorists will give up their power and go quietly into the night?
"The biggest terrorists in America are living/working in the White House right now."

I don't see how they can. Got your passport yet?

8. I think between now and Jan 20th is the most dangerous time in American history..
I don't think they've amassed all this unitary power just to hand it over to someone else. I'm expecting, and prepared for, the worst but hoping for the best.

I'm not giving up *my* home and going *anywhere*. I've been a fighter all my life and I'll be a fighter til the day I die. I won't give up on my Country.

Peace,

Ghost

5. Who is that McCain friend, Oliver North?
McCain Camp Touts Ollie North Endorsement
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/02/12/mccain_camp_touts_ollie_north.html

According to Wikipidea, "he (Oliver North) was the chief coordinator of the sale of weapons via intermediaries to Iran".

That sounds a lot worse than Ayers!

7. Wanna know what real terror is, Being diagnosed with cancer
Edited on Sun Oct-05-08 10:51 AM by Bandit
Tobacco is a leading cause of cancer and Republicans have sided with the tobacco industry time and time again. They have zero concern for the Health and Well being of American citizens, only huge corporations that kick money back to them in Campaign contributions and other frills. More people die every three days from tobacco related causes than died on 9-11. Every Three Days
