But the existence of the USA could serve as a cut-off point too.

it's just disgusting that they are not called out on that bs.

i really think if Gore was president he would have had to resign and media would still be reminding us of what a disaster democrats were.

the clinton administration had stopped many other planned attacks such as against the LAX .

but i do think any democrat in office during something on the scale of 9/11 would have had to resign. the media would have treated the president a lot differently .

After watching Jeb, I don't think that guy stands a chance of winning.
The GOP's best bet is Trump: he can throw out lies and exaggerations, and nobody refutes it.
It's pretty fuc#ing sad.

or the fourth flight.

And he didn't keep people in New Orleans safe.

He couldn't even keep our money safe. His Presidency was one self-inflicted disaster after another.

Starting on 9/12/01! And not counting Hurricane Katrina. Or the DC Sniper. Or the lives lost in Iraq and Afghanistan.
