4. Remember, Cheney and his Chimp said this wouldn't happen
unless John Kerry was elected.

22. excellent point.
Ive always thought another "incident" would do more harm to *'s ratings than good. Assuming people stop and think about it in the context of how all this was supposed to make us "safer".

24. There's only so many times you can cry "Wolf!"
So what, do you suppose, is Homeland Security's plan for this...oops, doesn't seem like they have one...

29. precisely. Any real attack on this country and
we'd be totally screwed. And now in the wake of Katrina everyone in the world knows it. That fact alone, I would think, would encourage potential terrorist attacks, but even so, how can we take this stuff seriously knowing bushco's "thing" is control via fear. Its sad.

30. I think that's why you see the reaction from Homeland Security that you do
They're downplaying it because they have no plan to deal with another attack on NYC...and they don't want anyone to notice.

34. Yes! Then they told us it is inevitable once they were sworn
into a second term. Amazing his loyal backers continue to eat it up. If Bush came out on Monday and said, "I will keep you safe" then addressed the nation on Wednesday and said, "We know it will happen again"....there wouldn't be a single one of them who would question the contradiction of the statements. And they'ld blame the lying liberal media if even one reporter dared to ask about it.

They shut down Penn Station for a fucking can of soda.

This is beyond ridiculous.

20. uh huh
Edited on Fri Oct-07-05 09:18 AM by Juniperx
i was just saying last night that the bush speech had to go on early so bloomberg's terrist message could get out in time for some bogus threat. the choreography is predictable, isn't it?

there must be some internal pressure on bush to create an iraq exit strategy. that's my guess.

35. this makes me so mad..my son said the
trains were a mess last night..his company paid for limos for all employees so they didnt have to deal with the bullshit ...and do not forget the yankees tonight..this is total crap...and anyone wonders why *'es polls at 29% approval in ny..well i dont believe he is that high..that is surely a false inflation of the real numbers..it took my girlfriend 5 hours to get home from the city to nj last night..usually 1 hour!

such utter bullshit!
if those fuckers in this white house think this will help their poll numbers or scare ny'ers..they have another thing coming...up here we know * was involved one way or another in 9/11 so his bullshit doesn't sell here..maybe to the dumb and dumber in the mid west..but not up here...

i remember that poem about calif wanting to cecede from the usa..well i am feeling the same right now about ny..let the dumb in the midwest and south figure out how they will pay for their stupidity on their own dime..i am damn tired of supporting their habit of ignorance and following these criminals to the detrement of the north east and calif!!! yes ..us ...who support most of the dumb states!

i apologise to those of you stuck in the red states..may i suggest you move...and leave the ignorants to their own demise??
you have my full sympathy!!...

can you hog tie the ignorants and not let them vote next time..you will be saving your nation!!

and those of us in the northeast will be grateful to you!! and indebted to you!!

a sick and tired of the dummys ..fly
