George Bush's Crumbling Credibility

[Cory]

Here's a good piece by a conservative. He lays out a great argument:

These findings come along in the context of the additional new reporting and documentation concerning the administration’s “Feith-based intelligence” and reckless hyperbole regarding Iraq’s WMD. Then there is the nightmarish, pornographic, abuse at Abu Ghraib prison. The multiple US Army investigations underway in this matter are virtually guaranteed to result in negative blowback for the administration. Allowing the Army to investigate itself in this case is irresponsible.

The Supreme Court’s rejections of the Bush administration’s antiterrorism legal theories were in strong, plain language: “A state of war is not a blank check for the President when it comes to the rights of the nation’s citizens.” Ouch.

For those American’s who still read books, the publication of “Imperial Hubris” by Anonymous (a career CIA analyst, who writes as frankly and insightfully as retired CIA case officer Bob Baer) did not help Bush and his neocon sycophants much either.

Many Bushies, when pressed on these matters, have resorted to the snappy retort “So what?” Now there’s a devastating argument!

1. Bush never had any credibility in my book, therefore, nothing to

crumble. Just the expected happened, I knew this all would come to fruition the minute he stole the election. We should have all gathered at the inaugural and barricaded the WH door to prevent his thugs from destroying America. He shouldn't even be allowed to participate in the election this year until he clears his name of all his charges.

2. Good Point

"He shouldn't even be allowed to participate in the election this year until he clears his name of all his charges."

But wait according to Bush, "America and the World are safer!!" Huh?

I would argue that if a voter does not possess the intellectual capacity to scream "Bullshit" when they hear that line, they should not be permitted to vote out of some type of mental retardation.

3. Indicates that the wingnuts have no real response to criticisms ...

... of Bush. Unfortunately also indicates that there is no reaching those people, because they will simply cover their ears, shut their eyes, and shriek "But ... but ... Kerry is worse!"

4. I guess the best case scenario for Kerry is these people stay home in Nov
