The Three Issues That Will Defeat BushCo . . .
despite the literally hundreds of issues crying out for our attention, BushCo will never be defeated on an issue-by-issue basis . . . we have to expose them, the PNAC, and the network of think tanks and corporations that run this country . . .

to do that, our sharpest focus must be on the Three Issues That Will Bring BushCo Down:

1. the stolen elections and the rigged voting system;

2. the illegality/immorality of the war (based entirely on lies, deception, and manufactured fear); and

3. the truth about 9/11 . . . whatever it may be . . .

everything else, while certainly important, is thoroughly subsidiary . . . because if we don't get BushCo out of office -- and soon -- nothing else will matter . . .

unfortunately, most Democrats refuse to tackle any of these defining issues and search for the truth . . . so we have to do it for them . . . and loudly . . .

1. Sounds great!
The only problem I see is that electorate, which voted for Bush, in the first place, must be educated to analyze the facts. So many have no realization Bush has been misguiding them with lies, lies and more lies. Presenting the truth does not help if people are not able to digest the information.

2. that's why what Cindy Sheehan is doing is so important . . .
she's forcing people to THINK! . . . many for the first time in their adult lives . . .

while they're thinking, we have an opportunity to raise all of these issues in a collective context . . . and to demonstrate that they are all actually aspects of one single issue:

a totalitarian US government rapidly moving toward fascism . . .

3. Elections are still in doubt...
... (if we're talking about what the mainstream media tells the public), and the same with 9/11. The only issue you've got left is the war. So, hammer the lies on that. They're all known. Nothing wrong with pointing out the administration's known lies.

Cheers.

4. not convinced
My "5 issues that will defeat BushCo" are:

1. Chinese manufacturing labor
2. Indian technical labor
3. Middle Eastern and other oil being withheld from them (yes, embargo)
4. Africa waking up to the IMF scam
5. the Euro

We can't shake BushCo off ourselves and no one's going to save us from them. They're going to get shunned until their dynasties starve and die.

5. The main issue is Iraq
1. Stolen elections? I doubt it. No criminal investigations are in progress. The only substantive reporting on the subject has been swept under the rug. This will not bring * down. It may be a factor once the shit hits the fan on Iraq.

3. 9/11 -- Sorry. MIHOP ain't gonna happen. Anecdotal evidence is insufficient basis for an investigation. LIHOP is better, but don't hold your breath. This will not bring * down. However, the Aug 6 security memo may figure prominently in an article of impeachment.

2. Iraq!! Now there's the issue that *will* bring down CuckooBananas and his minions. Right now no other issue is worth pursuing but Iraq. It's the single issue on which we can hang our hopes. It's the issue on which CuckooBananas is the most vulnerable. Note, that if we pursue this issue we also get the following:

A. Rove/Plame -- We've got a grand jury convened on this with a special prosecutor who seems to be doing a phenomenally good job. We may know soon enough about that. WHIG figures prominently in the investigation. That means that Rice may be indicted for something pretty damned serious. And WHIG means just about the entire West Wing top echelon. They may all be indicted. Direct channel to obstruction of justice charges for Bush and Cheney and a whole lotta other people.
B. Downing Street Minutes -- Proof that * rigged the whole rationale for war. The lies. The lies. The lies. It's all there.
C. Cindy Sheehan -- She's the focal point for the other two issues. She's the glue which sticks it all together.

It's IRAQ!! Keep pushing it.

6. kick . . . we need a strategy that addresses . . .
the issues on which BushCo is most vulnerable . . . that the elections and 9/11 are still "questionable" does not detract from the fact that, in both cases, something is greatly amiss . . .

these issues are, in fact, all aspects of a single issue: a totalitarian US government that is rapidly moving toward outright fascism . . . attacking BushCo on things like jobs, Social Security, the Supreme Courts, etc. are all well and good, but we're not going to defeat them with an issue-by-issue approach . . . we have to demonstate the corruption at the core of the administration, and that corruption is most evident in the issues of the war, the elections, and 9/11 . . .

all I'm suggesting is that each of us pick whichever of these three issues resonates with us most strongly and help get the truth out, whatever it may be . . . because we sure as hell aren't going to hear it from the corporate media . . .
