"W" is a DEFECTIVE Product |
|
Edited on Mon Sep-08-03 08:59 AM by Beetwasher
Remember when you were a kid and some new toy would come along and the commercials for it were plastered all over the Saturday morning cartoons and before you knew it everyone you knew had one and of course, you had to get one too? It looked so great in the commercial, shiny and fun and promising endless enjoyment. I'm sure it happened numerous times during your childhood. Only, you get the toy and it's not nearly as fun as it looked and it breaks after using it a couple of times. The dissapointment and resentment would well up every time you saw the commercial after that. You knew the truth now and no amount of marketing would ever get you to buy another one of those toys. Maybe they'd sucker you in again for a NEW product, but that toy? History.
Bush is that toy. He was sold to the American people through a marketing and propoganda campaign of epic proportions. 9/11 didn't change Bush, it changed the way the country saw him. The country desperately needed a leader and they projected everything they thought a leader should be into Bush. Unfortunately for Bush and his bosses, they picked a defective product to foist on the American people.
The lustre has worn off and no amount of PR or marketing or propoganda can bring the people back to once again accept what they now know is a defective product. Bush's neocon bosses might have actually been able to pull off their complete seizure of the country if they had picked a different puppet. Someone who had at least a modicum of competence. Bush is not that puppet. He has neither the competence, the charisma or the intelligence. He's defective through and through right down to the very core of his essence and no amount of propoganda or PR will make people believe otherwise now.
The speech last night was a hail mary for the Bush's neocon bosses and it failed miserably. Everyone's heard it before, it was nothing new, it's was the same old commercial for the same defective toy and people no longer want it and they ain't buying it again.

2. I never wanted that toy |
|
I specifically asked for the Gore model, and, as I recall, there were half a million more orders for the Gore model than for the defective Bu$h model. Yet somehow we all got stuck with the defective one.

You really wanted something else, but they got you this so you figured you'd give it a try...

4. A Hail Mary pass is right |

He couldn't even pull off LOOKING competent and in control of things last night, much less actually being competent.

Oh believe me, I'm not claiming we've won, just that it might be the case that his popularity has worn off. That doesn't mean they won't steal another election and we'll be stuck w/ him again...
I'm doing fine, been real busy, but things have slowed down a bit so I can maybe get some quality DU in today (shhh, don't tell my boss!)
