“A man name George started this country. A man named George is going to end this country”

 

Columbian yesterday! Don’t know who wrote it.

George says, "Hey, Kevbone! I'm the decider and yer not, bitch!"

[kevbone]

Who is your daddy?

That lines up fairly neatly with the 29% approval rating for Congress stated in last week's Gallup Poll.

People are so ignorant that all of government gets tarred with the same brush.

[kevbone]

"The current glumness is widely blamed on public discontent with the war in Iraq and with President Bush"

 

Dont they mean the occupation? And who are we at war with?

[Mrs. G]

Come on now-he's not that bad of a guy. He's just desperate for a little lovin'...

People elected him because they thought he seemed like a good guy. Problem is being a good guy doesn't always make for a good president.

 

Heck, I think he'd make a fine neighbor, the sort of guy you'd invite over for a barbecue. But I wouldn't put him in charge of the neighborhood association, let alone the country.

More brainless crap from the micheal moore's.

Ok…there are no truer words than these spoken. Well said.

What about this...

"it passed the House on October 10, 2002 by a vote of 296-133, and the Senate on October 11 by a vote of 77-23"

[motomagik]

I read about this at lunch today, thought it was pretty good...

[catbirdseat]

Duh, that resolution was based on the flawed information that Bush gave to congress. Had that information been factual, the vote would have been different.

Holy crap that is scary.

[ashw_justin]

But Congress can't use ignorance as an excuse! That's why they make the 'big bucks.'

shhhh.... They don't want hear about that. They might have to accept responsiblity too.

[ashw_justin]

pshh. They were obviously failing in their duties to execute the "tyranny of the majority." Or wait... what did we think about the war back then anyway?

Its time for you to sssshhhh. You are in the minority now.

That's crap. Anybody who was even remotely paying attention, and who bothered to read even the stories in mainstream media all the way through to the extensions on page ten, KNEW the justifications for the war were B.S. Specifically, it was public and clear that (1) we had Iraq surrounded and Saddam posed no current threat to anybody, (2) if he had any weapons program at all, which the inspectors who actually had been on the ground said he did not, it was weak at best, (3) Iraq had no connection with Al Queda, (4) there was no attempt to purchase Uranium in Africa, etc. etc.

 

The vote mostly went as it did not because our representatives in Washington were fooled, but because they didn't dare say what they knew to be true: the case for the war was all lies from the get-go. That authorization wasn't justified even if you thought Saddam was a bad guy we'd have to deal with sooner or later, which some of them may have thought. The authorization was granted because they were afraid to be called "weak on defense."

[catbirdseat]

They were all afraid for their political lives. To many in Congress, to vote "no" was thought to be suicide. The public was in panic as a result of 9/11. They figured it was safer to vote yes and deal with the consequences later.

 

It doesn't matter what Congress knew, it matters what the public knew and at that time, the public thought Iraq was a threat.

Yup.

[ashw_justin]

Or they knew that in the end we would all just blame Bush anyway.

How easy that is.
