1. And who's his audience? 100% pro-Propagandist in the reddest state.
What a brave "man" he is.

7. If Utah is the "reddest state"....
Why is the mayor of Salt Lake City urging people to protest Bush's appearance?

19. I'm constantly amazed that anyone still considers any of the....
...so-called "election results" from 2000, 2002, and 2004 to be valid.

3. That's their new mantra; yesterday on CNN (I think-
Sunday programs tend to run together :crazy:) George Allen equated the storm of Iraq to the storming of Normandy. A pox on him/them for even equating the two!

4. I doubt I'll have the stomach to watch,
although I'm always hopeful a REAL American will stand up and challenge him in the middle of these things.

5. Gee... have people forgotten 9/11?
I seriously doubt it.
The difference is that, now, they know Iraq had nothing to DO with 9/11.

They also know that, as a result, this war is less like WWII, in which a COUNTRY attacked us, and more like Vietnam, in which we've gone in to attempt to change attitudes at the barrel of a gun, which, of course, doesn't fucking work.

All we have to do is not let "them" get away with it. Flood the "media"
Edited on Mon Aug-22-05 06:36 AM by anarchy1999
with phone calls and faxes. We've done it before and we can do it now. Do not let "them" get away with this. Please.

Thank you.

Bush is nothing but a distraction for all of us. While we focus on the "energizer bunny", the rest of the PNAC get away with murder.

"Fighting terrorists over there so we don't have to fight them here?"

Help us all if that is what you or anyone you know believes.

Bush, Inc. are the terrorists.

WORLDWIDE.

13. We can only hope you all show up. Thank you from Texas,.
Edited on Mon Aug-22-05 06:57 AM by anarchy1999
That is my hearts desire, may what is happening in Crawford not stop. George, Dubya, whatever you may be named, you will have no peace from this point forward.

We will be wherever you are. We are going to haunt you, "we the people" are your worst nightmare.

We are standing up and we are standing tall. Stay home. Where is home? Kennebunkport or however you spell it. Go home to the family estate.

You are not a TEXAN! Never have been and you never will be!!!

(My family on all sides are Texans)

20. My history in Texas goes back several generations. The Bush family
Edited on Mon Aug-22-05 08:07 AM by anarchy1999
are nothing but imperialists that moved into Texas for the oil. Great grand daddy Bush supported Hitler. They are not of nor are they from Texas. Please find the book the Rich and the Super Rich by Ferdinand Lundberg. It is out of print, you can find it online and in special bookstores that carry out of print books. It is worth it's weight in gold.

15. GMA is coming on now
Edited on Mon Aug-22-05 07:04 AM by Not_Giving_Up
"A war of words"...* to introduce a new PR campaign on the war in Iraq.

:wtf: Years after "mission accomplished" and the end of official combat, while soldiers still die, they think it's time to start a new PR campaign on the war?

Edited to add:

Showed the protestors getting ready in Salt Lake City. Showed a clip of Cindy saying that the "two little party animals" should sign up.

Those who oppose Cindy Sheehan are using her words to try to discredit her cause.



My note - They aren't using her words, they are twisting them.

16. This is truly a slap in the face to the "Greatest Generation"
Bush is seriously psychotic if he thinks that there's any comparison between World War II and our being in Iraq. This is dangerously stupid even for Bush. Plus, if there isn't a shred of evidence that there wasn't any links to Saddam and Al-Qaida, then how can he now make a credible case that Saddam HAD anything to do with 09/11?
