He should have instituted War-time Censorship Laws. But you wanna bet they'd be struck down almost before they were passed?
It's not even necessary to enact censorship laws.
At the very least, GWB and or the Republicans should stand up (call a press conference) each and every time a hate-mongering Democrat or reporter claims that "Bush lied when he accused Iraq of the 9/11 attacks" or that "Bush should be Impeached for manufacturing bogus evidence" or any other slanderous crap.
Call a press conference and "call out" the offender by saying, "I am tired of having my administration slandered and lied about. Either put up the evidence or shut up!!"
I really believe much of the public, and most of the Conservative Republicans, would stand up and cheer if GWB even stood up to these slandermongers.
But instead, Bush has been turning the other cheek so long he is now viewed as a lame whipping boy.
And by not fighting back, the public at large has come to figure that these accusations must be true or Bush would have refuted them.
NO ONE is (or was) a bigger GWB supporter than myself, to the point I have been in shout downs and near fistfights these past six years.
But I simply cant take the wimpy White House attitude anymore. I mean, a third grader could do a better job at defending themselves than the WH.
Even Tony Snow seems to be losing his edge, and falling into the wimped out frame of mind.
I am so disgusted I cant even watch cable news shows any more.
It's like, "Wake me up in 2016 after the Republicans have handed over another eight years to the anti-American, tas-raising, voucher hating, terrorist coddling, UN respecting, race baiting Democraps.
