What a punk

[drscm]

1. If it does, it's only because Thompson works for an abject failure...

eom

[BayStateBoy]

34. Fricking Thompson Can't Even See that We Have Enough Flu Vaccine

Where the Hell does he get off speculating (incorrectly) on foreign policy?

Actually, OSB should want Bush to remain in office. Bush is a proven dolt, failure, etc. and plays into OBL's hands. Bush is the best recruiting tool our enemies have. OBL doesn't want to contend with an intellectual like Kerry when he already has an arrogantly inflexible nitwit.

3. WHY IS BIN LADEN STILL ALIVE?

[punpirate]

4. Looks like Ol' Tommy...

... really wants to keep his job. Too bad he, like the rest of Bush's administration, isn't any good at it.

[KC21304]

5. What an embarrassment for Wisconsin and the nation.

I say that as someone from Wisconsin.

[Lefta Dissenter]

13. yeah,

he's one of the ones who make me constantly have to apologize for Wisconsin. :( Really, people, we're not all that horrible here!!!

[Kierkegaard]

25. I second that embarrassment.

Thompson was a dumbass as gov here for 16 years and he hasn't gotten any smarter...

[dave502d]

6. Start looking for a real job.

[flaminbats]

10. I doubt Tommy can flip hamburgers, so what can he do? n/t

[KC21304]

24. He is pretty well connected. And I think he would like to be Gov

again. But I think there are many people in Wisconsin who know about the former Gov's real " family values " and may not go along with protecting Sue Thompson this time. She is a real sweetheart, but this time the welfare of the state and nation will have to come first.

[grannybgood]

28. I'm from Wisconsin

and I don't know what you're referring too in this. Let us all in on the juicy gossip. Losing tommy to Washington was the only good thing to come of the bush anointment.

[KC21304]

36. Why do you think Sue Ann stayed in Elroy, even when the Gov

was in Madison ? And of course she does not live with him in D.C. His parties at the Gov. mansion are legendary. I can't be the only one on DU from Wisconsin to know about this. I know it is well known around Madison.

[flaminbats]

41. maybe he could outsource some good interns for the next party..

no, too expensive!

[SammyWinstonJack]

7. Why would Bin Laden want Kerry elected when it is the chimp

who has allowed him to walk around free these past 3+ years? I'm sure Bin Laden doesn't want to "change horses in mid stream" and risk being captured by Kerry. How stupid do these morans think we are, anyway?

[prodigal_green]

8. Well, it should

I'm not going to vote FOR the chimp because OBL is still out there.

[jpak]

9. Tommy's getting "privatized" on Tuesday

and he knows it.

Lying sack of shit...

[rabbit2484]

12. I hope he stays far away from Wisconsin

after he loses his job.

[VegasWolf]

11. Hey, Thompson, you might want to spend some time ensuring

flu vaccines are on schedule, instead of waiting till the last minute
and saying "Oops!". This whole admin is one big "Oops!"

New Information Shows Bush Indecisive, Paranoid, Delusional

[olddad56]

14. Maybe we are missing the point.

Maybe Bin Laden wants Bush defeated for the same reasons I do. Maybe Bush is a greater threat to the people of the world than is Bin Laden. Maybe Bin Laden actually was acting out of revenge on 9/11. Maybe he and his followers had had enough of the US Oil Companies ruining that part of the world. I don't condone his aggression on our country, but I understand it.

Maybe, just maybe, Bin Laden sees the world as a better place without the corporate fascists at the wheel.

[KC21304]

27. I think you are exactly right. What ever you say about bin Laden

in his perverted way he has always been honest about his underlying purpose of fighting against those oppressing and ripping off the Muslim people.

[w13rd0]

15. I really wish...

...the mindless Bushbot zombies would take a moment to wonder why it seems that Bush and bin Laden play for the same team.

Troops out of Saudi Arabia : check
Overthrow secular government and install Islamic one in mideast nation: check
Ignore the I/P situation: check

That Thompson is saying this is beyond vile, I can't even begin to describe my disgust with this administration. They are traitors, and they deserve the fate of traitors.

[stepnw1f]

16. I Hope All These Statements Are Collected...

for future reference.

[Peanut Gallery]

29. And,

I hope this slimy campaign strategy backfires on them bigtime on election day.

[Gregorian]

17. If you've seen one Willy Horton, you've seen them all.

Bla, bla, bla. Charley Manson wants Kerry to win, too.

So go fuck yourself. There- I've graciously given you the vowels.

[Richardson08]

18. just make sure you have enough flu shots

[0007]

19. junior is a hard working son-of-a-bitch.....

Thompson, said Kerry would not work as hard as Bush to find bin Laden.

This guy is a complete idiot!!

[Zorra]

20. But when Kerry is elected, Bu$h won't be able to protect his friend bin

Laden anymore. Why in the world would bin Laden want Kerry elected, when his protector, the long time puppet of his family and the Saudis, is occupying the WH?

[NYC Liberal]

21. Tommy Thompson doesn't get it...

Bin Laden wants Bush. So therefore he implies that he wants Kerry. Everyone goes "Hey! Terrorists want Kerry!" and then vote for Bush. Bush gets re-elected, bin Laden is off the hook for 4 more years.

[ogradda]

22. when bin laden told him that

did he ask how the family is doing too?:evilgrin:

[bluedeminredstate]

31. My thoughts too!

Why on earth would Thompson presume to tell us what the hell OBL wants? How does he have this knowledge - is he speaking with members of OBL's posse or OBL himself?
I hate when some Bushbot puts Bush's job above the country and says something this disgraceful (there have been quite a few qho have made this same point).
Of course Thompson, like most Bush appointees, just started walking upright not too long ago so he probably doesn't spend a lot of time thinking about the consequences of his words.
:spank:

Just imagine if Richard Holbrook or Bob Rubin, as Kerry campaign consultants, said that OBL wanted Bush elected so he could continue to hide from justice. Wolf Blitzer's head would explode and Judy Woof-Woof, Chris Matthews, Tim Russert and all the others would be having orgasms large enough to start an earthquake in D.C. as they contemplated their coverage of the outrageousness of the Kerry campaign.

[ogradda]

38. good idea!

hell great idea:smoke:

[Bake]

23. They'll say anything, do anything to hold onto power

Bake

[progressivebydesign]

26. You called him a "punk"? No.. he's a shameless asshole!

Punk is too nice. Those people ought to be ridden out of D.C. on a rail! They are the scummiest, meanest, most despicable, pieces of shit in political history.

I was explaining to my 12 year old, what got Nixon to resign, and why it was called, "Watergate". Guess what? As I described the events surrounding Nixon's downfall, I realized that it was MINISCULE compared to what Bush and his henchman have done. A comment like that from Thompson should be resoundly ATTACKED in the media, and disavoed by the candidate. BUT.. they will not. Because they are shameless assholes who will DO AND SAY anything to get elected

[savistocate]

30. That Prince Bandar -Saudi royals

and Bin Laden family members close to Bush Sr & Co had not known and Instant Msgd this appearance of Ossama _is inconceivable.

Thompson is spinning it opposite of WH boosters in the media.
There it's been all for new fears-threats of worse attacks adds
to claims R adm. "tough on terror". Three years plus but they need !!four more to get him!!

My e-mails are out to media Bush surrogates--hope you all are.

[Generator]

40. Thanks! I'm all out of words of disgust for these scum

Scum-well I found one.

I hope we flush them away, and nothing but a bunch a nasty but (at long last) truthful comments in history books will be their worthless legacy.

[reality based]

32. OBL's little PR stunt

was likely designed to allow him to spin a claim that he determined the outcome of the election no matter who wins. From a strategic view, however, with whom would he likely prefer to match wits-- an incompetent, ideologically rigid bumbler or a cool, war-tested leader who commands the respect of those he led in battle?

[Blasphemer]

33. Their internals must look REAL BAD

At first, the spin was "this will help us, ha ha" and now that's that is clearly not the case they are going this route. They'll get their just desserts in 2 days. It will be fun watching them all unravel in the aftermath of *'s humiliating defeat. These people have all permanently ruined their careers by being party to Bush's lies and failures. Good riddance.

[JimGinPA]

37. Right you are

I can't wait to see the book Powell eventually writes about how he was used by them and the inside poop on all of their failures.

[ThePhilosopher04]

35. He needs to spend more time worrying about getting FLU SHOTS

to people that need 'em and keep his fucking trap shut about OBL!!!

[Bossy Monkey]

39. Hatch Act n/t

[The Chronicler]

42. Why would OBL want a President who will track him down and kill him?

Kerry 04, bitch.
