To date, they have yet to question, seriously and vigorously, Bill and Hillary Clinton for their actions in their eight years in the White House.

You hear all this so-called 'news' about Bush's photo being used in an improper context; they don't have the slightest problem with a President who rents out rooms in the White House to his cronies.

Then it's 'Bush knew about 9-11'

All of this is a non-story. It is a created story, crafted by the same creeps who brought you 'Bill n Hill', our dear old friends, the Democrats and their liberal pals.

'United We Stand'......just make sure the Democrat isn't standing behind you.

BUMP for an excellent article. The media's reaction to this "newz" (and the fact that they were told to make a big deal of this by their Democrat masters) is one of the most (but unfortunately, one of the many) despicable violations of the First Amendment in our nation's history. They MUST be stopped!

It's not difficult to understand, then, why the Republicans are usually on the losing side.

Are they really?
The Democrats have launched several attacks similar to this one.....including "Arsenic in water"...the ENRON accusations etc. etc. and it is not the Republicans who have been on the losing side but the Democrats. They haven't been able to make any of their manufactured accusations stick to Bush.

The truth is evident for anyone with a brain: Nothing could have been done because of the catastrophic failure of our intelligence agencies, particularly the CIA and the FBI.

How was John Walker Lindh, a nobody from California, able to penetrate Al-Queda, and learn about the attacks that were going to be directed at our country, and our own intelligence agaencies supposedly couldn't?

Don't take this to mean that I think Bush was involved. I don't believe that there is enough evidence to support such a thing. But how can something that obviously took a lot of planning and preparation escaped our attention, given that we have vast technological resources to choose from, and even men in these countries? Something just doesn't add up.

Imagine what the dems would have said if Bush would have taken the steps required to prevent 9-11.

He essentially would have had to shut down the entire commercial air fleet for an indefinite period of time with no way of knowing whether or not he was successful in preventing anything.

The dems would have been screaming their heads off.

CNN poll Today, 5-17-2002:

Is the criticism of President Bush over the 9/11 warnings just political?

156,016 69% YES

71,294 31% NO

Its just an internet poll, but it gives a snapshot of what people are thinking. The actual numbers of Americans, who thought this was just politics, is probably a lot higher then 69%.

In the blame game we might not be able to make a case stick on Clinton but I pray that it will stop the Clintons and Gore from running for public office ever again.

I think the rush story is going to spread. It is time to demand that the people we elected deal with the Clinton problem NOW!

Your observations and comments are quite astute.

Methinks that they (the media, liberals et.al.) are more motivated by the November elections than any sense of finding out the truth or assigning the blame where it truly belongs (on the Clintoon watch).

After all, they need to recaputure the stinking super-majority in both houses which is the only thing they truly care about...

It will die down over the summer, then just wait for after Labor Day -- they have only begun to sling hash.
Stay tuned.

The best I have read on this subject. It says everything I have tried to say, only much better!
This is a concerted efforts by the media and the RATS to get those Bush poll numbers down. Any thinking American would know that the attacks were several years in the planning, in fact, the media has aknowledged as such, yet they just shape the spin to favor the RATS. The Clintons are worse thing that has ever happened to this country, and we can never be rid of them thanks to a compliant media.

We elected a President. We did not select a Batman.

The White House does not have a Batcave beneath it with super Bat Computers capable of taking these riddles from Islamic nutcases and telling us exactly what they're going to do, how, where, and when they plan to do it.

Our intellegence bureaus get vague warnings all the time. They are vague for a reason. That reason is that even Islamic fundementalists aren't stupid enough to tell us every single detail of what they intend to do.

DUMOCRAPS, PUT YOUR ILLOGICAL, POORLY THOUGHT OUT ACCUSATIONS BACK UP YOUR RECTUMS AND WAIT TILL YOU CAN DEPOSIT THEM IN THE TOILET LIKE EVERYONE ELSE!

Would the Democrats support going after Iraq tomorrow? The Bush administration could certainly use their "What and when" ranting to justify wiping out Iraq BEFORE something happens.

It's so hypocritical of the Left that is reluctant to use military action to be asking why it wasn't used prior to 9/11.

Ruddy is lying here,and he knows it. The FBI,CIA,and other intelligence agencies didn't "fail",they did what they were ordered to do by their political masters in the White House. This is what they are supposed to do. It's the way the system is set up,and Ruddy KNOWS this.

Immediately after 9-11, NewsMax revealed – we were the first – that during the Clinton years the CIA had stopped recruiting spies within the terrorist networks.

And I guess because of this idiot Ruddy,we are supposed to believe the directors of these agencies turned money back in rather than use it to hire new employees or pay for information. We all KNOW that all of these bureaucracies HATE to build their empires up,and how they are so grateful when their budgets are cut.

There is another serious question that nobody is asking and that is WHY did our intelligence agencies fail. WHY were they changed from the best intelligence gathering agency in the world into an agency that was totally dependent on technology and had so few of those uncomperable data assessing units (the human being) on the ground.

Why was the rivalry between the FBI and CIA allowed to develop? Why was there no shared intelligence data base developed? Why were the recommendations to tighten up airline security discarded?

Lots of serious questions that need serious answers.

Maybe Mr. Ruddy should be reminded that the President's predisesor spent more time in the oval offices' coat room getting blowjobs, undermining the effectiveness of the inteligence community, and selfish concern about his legacy than paying attention to this country's security.
