Did you see their homepage is saying "Dean Not Ready to Pronounce Bin Laden Guilty" In reality and despite the spin/implication, Dean said it is for a jury to determine BL's guilt and that politicians historically (and IMO correctly) have refused to comment on a pending case. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,106758,00.html They are also questioning Dean's "new found" belief in God. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,106752,00.html Yet, we hear nothing of the GOB taking bribes. How's that for "fair and balanced?" Actually, this is a good thing for Dean and the Democratic Party if Fox, arguably the mouthpiece for the far right despite their slogan, is taking him that seriously. |

I read about the Dean/Bin Laden comments and agreed with that as well. Isn't Bush "God appointed'? He found his way to the Lord about 2 years before the election. When asked, he couldn't recite any of the bible passages he studied so fervently for those two years. Bush got a nice bounce in the polls from finding Saddam, it will be interesting to see if he can sustain it. I don't even watch Fox News becuase I can only watch it for about two minutes before I'm forced to change the channel. It's owned by Rupert Murdoch, who's not even American. I thought the FCC prohibited that. |

This is what I keep coming back to....
Osama Bin Laden and his Al-Qaida operatives were directly responsible for the terrorist attacks on 9/11, which took the lives of nearly 3000 people on American soil. Osama and his cronies are also responsible for the many threats that have frequently caused the US to go on a high security alert for attempted acts of terrorism, including the current threat which has holiday travellers worried. Saddam Hussein... while a tyranical madman... has never been proven to have had any link whatsover to the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and has never been proven to have had any recent plans to attack Americans on our soil. Saddam Hussein has also never been proven to be in possession of those dreaded weapons of mass destruction he was accused of having. And, someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think they've ever conclusively proven that Saddam and Osama had any strong ties to one another. So, which of the two men became the focus of the bigger war effort this year, and is the only one to have been captured so far... the man whose monstrous hatred of America resulted in the loss of nearly 3000 innocent lives and the continual uneasiness/fear that almost all American citizens feel? Or the man whose retention of his position of power after the Gulf War, has often been noted as having cost Dubya's daddy the re-election? I'm not saying that Saddam Hussein isn't evil, or that his inhumane treatment of the Iraqi people didn't need to be stopped... but I'm disturbed by the countless unfounded reasons (and the out-and-out lies) Americans were told to justify the campaign to topple Hussein. While Osama seems to have been all but forgotten up 'til now. Was there really a pressing need to stop Saddam Hussein, ASAP, as part of this "War On Terror"? And is it just me, or do other people feel this all seemed more like some kind of vendetta?

Hollywood has been having hush-hush, very private parties to fundraise for the Democrats. Musicians like Don Henley, Anthrax, Green Day, Mellencamp, and the Dixie Chicks are even planning an anti-Bush tour around the country together with all proceeds going to the Democrats. Now THAT is patriotism.

My point was they can put a 14 year old boy in federal prison but if one of them breaks the law (and there's a whole litany of it in the Bush family) then they want community service or rehab. Limbaugh hasn't even been charged with anything. I think it's clear in anybody's view he was doing something wrong. I can't believe the crap he and his attorney are spewing now. I also can't believe he's using his radio show to further his claim of innocence. Every time anybody else does something like that, the public nails their arse to the wall but apparently Rush's followers just swallow this stuff and continue to annoint him as "the messenger" of the neocons. Well, that's enough cynicism form me today. Last edited by gldstwmn; 12-28-2003 at 05:40 PM.. |
