How Long Will Bush Voters Fall for the "Not His Fault" defense?
The poor economy is not the fault of the Bush Administration. This really gets strange. Clinton's 22 million jobs and budget surplus were the result of some bubble for eight years, and Bush is a victim.

9/11 was not Bush's fault. The F.B.I. was not attentive enough, and Clinton didn't catch bin Laden when he had a chance. Put aside all the warnings, like the PDB of August 6, 2001, while Bush was in, I guess they don't count.

Iraq War was not his fault. The CIA gave him and his Administration faulty information, which made him make a poor decision. By the way, he would make the same decision today, even with the faulty info. You figure it out, because I can't.

Our allies are to blame for the breakdown of our alliances. Spain, France, Germany, Canada, Portugal, Ireland and now the Philippines are all wrong. Great Britain, Italy, and Australia's Democratically elected governments are on the verge of electoral collapse because a large majority of their voters are displeased by the actions of their leaders. None of this could be Bush's fault.

Education, Health Care, the Deficit, Federal Aid to the States, funding for Homeland Security, and on and on and on. Failure after failure.

The "Not My Fault" Administration. Everyone's to blame but Bush.

1. Kerry needs to start talking about this
every day. "Tihs Resident takes responsibility for nothing - the economy's not his fault, the death and destruction's not his fault, the jobs losses are not his fault, the deficit's not his fault, and our low standing in the world is not his fault. It's time America had a leader who takes responsibility for our country."

2. A sparrow does not fall.....

Then G_D is not speaking NOR acting through him. He needs to balance the equation.. or give it up.... if there isn't a sparrow that falls to the ground that he is not aware of. Think about it.

3. Forever.
Anybody that still supports this criminal regime is either:
1. Willfully ignorant.
2. Clinically stupid.
3. Cravenly self-serving.
4. All of the above.

The freeper types that support Bush fall mainly under #1 and #2. They are brainwashed and will follow their fuhrer into the abyss.

7. The 'No Accountability' administration.
The economy - Not Bush's fault...even though it was his Party that has taken us from a $350BB budget surplus to a $450BB deficit in 3 years.

9/11 - Not one person charged with protecting this country has been held accountable for the worst attack ever to happen against the USA.

Iraq - Not one person accountable for allowing the US to become quagmired in the ME to the tune of hundreds of billions/year.

Abu Grahib - No one in this administratio accountable for the torture...even though it is clear that WH counsel had spent a lot of time developing ord definitions that would allow this to occur.

If these issues had happened on Clinton's watch, rest assured that Bill would have paid the ultimate price for it.

Republicans best never lose control of the reins of political power in Washington, DC...because the general American public will be amazed at what the Grand Oil Party has consciously done to destroy this country's heritage and its future.
