The dead cat has stopped bouncing.

[11cents]

1. The bounce potential of dead cats is chronically overestimated.

[grytpype]

3. Yes, I just did an experiment with some dead cats I had around the house.

They didn't bounce very far even when dropped 20 stories.

[mom cat]

7. Dead elephants bounce even less.

:rofl:

2. 49% in Texas

I'm leaving the state just as things are finally going in the right direction.

[w4rma]

4. Most of the people who live in Utah and Idaho are crazy. (nt)

[Erika]

16. The rich boys and the mormons control Idaho for the most part

Mormon never has seen a democrat he will vote for and the good ole boys won't let any worker vote democrat. They are quite vicious here.

My "Had Enough" sticker is being received quite well.

5. Bubbles don't un-pop.

The nation decided about six months that Junta Boy simply isn't up to the job.

Conclusions like that once reached don't ever get reversed.

[existentialist]

6. That is essentially unchanged overall from last month on the same

poll.

There are some interesting changes in some particular states, including Texas, but overall he's almost exactly where he was one month ago on the same poll, which is, of course, up somewhat from two months ago, but down a lot over time.

8. "The dead cat has stopped bouncing."

These days he's looking more like something the cat dragged in. :P

Cat: "Look mama, a dried up lizard for you!"

[CountAllVotes]

10. well sh*t

I bet that is what did it!

Such a fine thing to say from a born again Christian fundamentalist that is going to veto the stem cell bill.

He says sh*t on a microphone for the entire world to hear. Got to have a lot respect for a fundie like this!

He has a filthy mouth and does nothing to hide it. Does he really care about some fetus?

Answer: HELL NO.

So now *, the whole world is watching and listening to you and they have heard your filthy mouth.

You * have blown your own cover! :P

Dead cat bounce? I don't think so. It is all downhill from here!

The sheep are waking up!

As for that fundie base, do they sit around saying sh*t all day too?

I for one would like to know. Do they approve of cursing, torturing, raping and killing people in cold blood? Who in their right mind could possibly support a man like this that was never even honestly elected?

:kick:

[gademocrat7]

11. Maybe people are waking up .

How much more do we have to take..The G-8 debacle, groping the German chancellor, slow to rescue the Americans in Lebanon. He is an utter failure.

[otohara]

12. The Mormons in Utah

were probably told to support the leader, unconditionally!

51% to 57% is quite a jump!

One of the original polygamists.

13. "Second 9/11": Cheney's "Contingency Plan"

Bush is a mere figurehead.

"Second 9/11": Cheney's "Contingency Plan"

While the "threat" of Iran's alleged WMD is slated for debate at the UN Security Council, Vice President Dick Cheney is reported to have instructed USSTRATCOM to draw up a contingency plan "to be employed in response to another 9/11-type terrorist attack on the United States". This "contingency plan" to attack Iran uses the pretext of a "Second 9/11" which has not yet happened, to prepare for a major military operation against Iran.

The contingency plan, which is characterized by a military build up in anticipation of possible aerial strikes against Iran, is in a "state of readiness".

What is diabolical is that the justification to wage war on Iran rests on Iran's involvement in a terrorist attack on America, which has not yet occurred:

The plan includes a large-scale air assault on Iran employing both conventional and tactical nuclear weapons. Within Iran there are more than 450 major strategic targets, including numerous suspected nuclear-weapons-program development sites. Many of the targets are hardened or are deep underground and could not be taken out by conventional weapons, hence the nuclear option. As in the case of Iraq, the response is not conditional on Iran actually being involved in the act of terrorism directed against the United States. Several senior Air Force officers involved in the planning are reportedly appalled at the implications of what they are doing—that Iran is being set up for an unprovoked nuclear attack—but no one is prepared to damage his career by posing any objections. (Philip Giraldi, Attack on Iran: Pre-emptive Nuclear War , The American Conservative, 2 August 2005)

Are we to understand that US military planners are waiting in limbo for a Second 9/11, to launch a military operation directed against Iran, which is currently in a "state of readiness"?

Cheney's proposed "contingency plan" does not focus on preventing a Second 9/11. The Cheney plan is predicated on the presumption that Iran would be behind a Second 9/11 and that punitive bombings would immediately be activated, prior to the conduct of an investigation, much in the same way as the attacks on Afghanistan in October 2001, allegedly in retribution for the role of the Taliban government in support of the 9/11 terrorists. It is worth noting that the bombing and invasion of Afghanistan had been planned well in advance of 9/11. As Michael Keefer points out in an incisive review article:

"At a deeper level, it implies that “9/11-type terrorist attacks” are recognized in Cheney’s office and the Pentagon as appropriate means of legitimizing wars of aggression against any country selected for that treatment by the regime and its corporate propaganda-amplification system.... (Keefer, February 2006 )
