OT BuschCo changing story on WMD's.....again
 
After the Bremmer report, in which he says that non only did Saddam
NOT have WMD's, but that he, BY HIS CHOICE, didn't have them, BushCo
now says that we went to war because he MIGHT have had the ability to
share information with terrorists. Now THAT'S a great reason to go to
war! Every country in the world MIGHT have the ability to share
information with terrorists. Even the world's scariest terrorist,
Bush!

clearly, a survey done after Watergate. The question was, who *did* you
vote for in the last election. McGovern won by a landslide.

It was indeed one of several reasons we went in and I don't recall hearing
about republicans saying otherwise.

Now why does the left insist that WMD were the only reason we went in?

Well, hell, let's go over the OTHER reasons that Bush said we went
there. It changed every week or so when people found out that the
previous week's lies were just that.....lies.

Of course he can't. Chuck has already made up his mind to support Kerry,
and anything that might require actual thought is outside of Chuckie's realm
of capability.

Dr....

There could have been a WMD on every city block in Baghdad and I wouldn't be
voting for Bush.

Kerry is a crappy candidate. How sad that crappy as he is, he is clearly the
better choice. Look how deeply we are mired in the results of your guy's lies
and delusions. At least with a fresh start, it will take another four years to
get the point where you can't believe the government on
*anything*.

Your guy won by 500 votes (?) last time around, and thought it was a mandate to
take the country ridiculously to the right.
Spare us from his delusional zeal if he manages to hoodwink enough folks to be
reelected.

Did you watch any of Duelfer's testimony, Harry? Read any of the

pages long, and you summarize it a five words: "no weapons of mass
destruction"? Sheesh...talk about intellectually lazy.



Yeah, I thought it was especially pathetic when Senator Warner tossed
pro-Bush softballs his way. But the most telling remark in the areas
you're trying to bring to the forefront concerned Saddam and his
posturing...he didn't have the WMDs, but he wanted Iran to think he did.

Bush blew our credibility around the world.

against the Department of Education. He voted against funding for

An opportune time to bring back up the voter fraud that happened in
Florida. The right likes to make jokes about the stupid voters in
Palm Beach county, but thousands of black voters in other counties
either were denied the right to vote, or had their vote thrown out.

http://www.sptimes.com/2004/10/08/De...zes_blac.shtml

"No county produced more spoiled ballots than Duval - nearly 27,000 -
and they were concentrated in African-American neighborhoods. An
estimated one in five black votes was tossed out in Duval, three times
the rate of white votes."

Little doubt this was pure fraud. Little doubt in was facilitated by
Republicans with the approval of the presidents brother. Little doubt
if these votes had been counted, Bush would not be the president.

last time around, and thought it was a mandate to
take the country ridiculously to the right.


For me, that's the part that is the hardest to take. Mandate my ass,
he didn't even win the election.

Hell, no he can't! BushCo came up with completely different reasons
several times! Here in lies the problem, Bush and his henchmen lied us

He has not changed his mind about anything. If you have proof to show

In Duval, about 22,000 presidential ballots were uncounted because of double
votes and 5,000 because no presidential vote was recorded.


That's the problem with a "punch card" ballot.

Don't like the way somebody voted?
Punch a second hole for a second candidate in the same race, after the voter
leaves the building. Joila. No more "wrong" vote.

To save time, you can even pass out ballots with the hole for GWB pre-punched.
The votes of folks who intend to vote for GWB aren't efffected, they simply
push the stylus through an already existing hole.
The po' dumb folk who don't see the many advantages of a right wing reactionary
in the WH? Thier votes for the wrong candidate are tossed out, "sorry, two
holes punched for president."

No, but I've always had a tough time believing that 27,000 people- all living
in the same county in Florida- were dumb enough to vote twice for POTUS when
there probably weren't 2700 people in the entire rest of the country combined
who made the same mistake.

Are Floridians just particularly stupid? And all the most especially stupid
just happen to live in the same county? I think not.

Representative Chris Shays - R, CT - possibly the single most useless,
intemperate, boring, intellectually dishonest and just plain lazy US
Representative since Representative Sam Gejendsen - D, CT who
thankfully was voted out four years ago.

And they still keep electing him.

It's almost beyond belief.

Gould,
The elderly in Palm Beach County explained to the news what the problem was.
A democrat was passing out cheat sheets to tell the elderly how to vote.
The cheat sheet had an error which caused the double votes.

The democrats controlled the election board in Palm Beach County, if we buy
into your paranoia, they did a **** poor job.

PS - . Where did you facts about the 2700 in the rest of the country?
