The Republican Party and the Bush administration like to keep the public uninformed and in the dark as to what they are doing. This president has had fewer press conferences than any other president in recent history. It is difficult for the country to stay properly informed when we are constantly being fed half truths and lies of omission by the current administration. Every time they send a representative out to speak to the public, he is armed with the same set of message points and catch phrases creating an echo effect. After hearing the same message over and over again, the public begins to believe their words, whether they are true or not. It doesn't help that the media is very slow in following up on the administration's lies before questioning their policies. But no matter how hard the Bush Administration tries to avoid it, the realities about our current economic climate and this war need to be addressed. Bush has created the largest deficit in U.S. history. Most of our debt is owed to foreign countries, such as China and Japan. President Bush is driving the economy into the ground after he inherited a record surplus from the previous administration. We are stuck in a war Bush should never have waged and as a result he has unleashed an explosive powder keg in the Middle East. As a result of our policies, terrorism is spreading, rather than abating after 9/11. Warnings before 9/11 weren't heeded. Airline security wasn't beefed up with the threat of hijackings. The immediate enemy was not Iraq and now we have a terrorist breeding ground on our hands! When Sandy Berger, of the Clinton Administration, told Condoleezza Rice that the biggest threat to America was al Qaeda, the Bush Administration did not heed this warning until after 9/11 and it has taken 3 years to do something about it-our country is still so vulnerable. I am completely flabbergasted and bewildered that when the public is polled regarding which candidate they trust to deal with terrorism, they choose George W. Bush. Those of us who feel that we are not safer with George Bush in the White House, and feel we will be more secure in the fight on terrorism with John Kerry, an experienced soldier and Senator, as President, need to create our own message megaphone to reach the American people, before it's too late!
Good guess. Babs has no college dregree, yet Bush is a moron.
Any idea where Sandy Berger and the contents of his trousers are these days, Barbra?
I continue to hear this posited. Can this be proven? If the impeached former president's administration recognized Al Quaida as the largest threat, what, exactly were their plans in the can, to deal with such a threat? It would really help if we could see the truth of the disgraced serial paper-pilferer Berger demonstrated.
Barbra, your very ugly mouth is as big as a megaphone.
By the way, has this national secrets thief been indicted, arraigned, slapped on the hand, told to stand in the corner, what?
Ole Hose Nose is still running around with one headlight out, isn't she?
Ya know, one of my all-time favorite films is BAREFOOT IN THE PARK, with Robert Redford AND Jane Fonda. Absolutely hilarious, start to finish.
You're funny. *Hey, Hiker Dude!*
"need to create our own message megaphone to reach the American people"
Your buddies spent $100,000,000 on a message megaphone. Damn thing got drowned out by the Swiftie's less expensive but better model.
"Those of us ... need to create our own message megaphone to reach the American people"
You've already got one. It's called Old Media.
Ah, it begins... the impending doom, the sense of panic... the anger, the denial... the grieving for their party after selecting such a hollow man for a candidate...
I had a bunch of relatives and in-laws over for Labor Day, including two hard core Kerry supporters. Their gloom was almost palpable. Neither one issued forth so much as a peep about the election.
I love the smell of burning Democrat dreams in the morning... and I'm not a particularly mean person. But this time, it's a pure pleasure watching this all unfold.
BWAH HAHAHAHAH
Coffee cleanup in Cubicle three, bring new keyboard.

Barbra Streisand...didn't she used be a singer or something? |
I'm soooooooo depressed...
There was an unbelievable picture of a mega-bovine Streisand in yesterday's NY Post. She is turning into a female version of Teddy K both mentally AND physically.
Could any of our talented picture-maven FReepers maybe find a way to post that photo on this thread or any other "Left-wing lunatics run wild" thread... thanks.
Unfortunately I am totally a zero when it comes to capturing photos and pasting them... I'm more of a computer old fart than you youngn's...
It's always our fault, isn't it Babs? Did you write this agitprop before the muslim terrorists killed all those children in Russia? How was that our fault, you old sow? But, keep it up, because it is this kind of nonsense that is going to get people to vote for Bush.
Let's just play that exciting game, "Stop the Tape!", with this...
This president has had fewer press conferences than any other president in recent history.
Nope, I believe that Reagan holds the record - he didn't trust MINITRUE, either...
Every time they send a representative out to speak to the public, he is armed with the same set of message points and catch phrases creating an echo effect.
Oh, as opposed to the MSM who parrot the DNC fax? Let's read on...
President Bush is driving the economy into the ground after he inherited a record surplus from the previous administration.
Talking points, Ahoy! Economy on the upswing, after inheriting the Clinton Recession and the Ponzi scam known as the dot.coms...
Warnings before 9/11 weren't heeded.
Gee, Babs and I agree - William the Impeached did nothing about al-Qaeda...
The immediate enemy was not Iraq and now we have a terrorist breeding ground on our hands!
Would you rather have them breeding in Malibu, dahling?
I am completely flabbergasted and bewildered that when the public is polled regarding which candidate they trust to deal with terrorism, they choose George W. Bush.
But, I've read and heard every poll since January, that Kerry's trusted by The Sheep - you know them, don't you Babs, "the little people?"
Those of us who feel that we are not safer with George Bush in the White House, and feel we will be more secure in the fight on terrorism with John Kerry, an experienced soldier and Senator, as President, need to create our own message megaphone to reach the American people, before it's too late!
Oh, I had to stifle the guffaws with this one!
Let's see, Babs honey, you've got ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, the BBC, Fox, AP, Reuters, Disney, all the indies, almost every college paper across the land, Salon, DU, Slate, MoveOn, GlobalSecurity, Snopes - and you're complaining about NO VOICE?!?
