5. Well, they're not freaking. They're saying "we" are desperate.
Uh ... it's the F-B-Freaking-I that's doing the investigation, Freeper fools!

Freepers' first instinct is to go after Bunny Greenhouse, our heroic whisleblower who has gotten in trouble for questioning the long no-bid contracts!!!

To wit:

"PEOPLE, GREENHOUSE DOESN'T SHOW ON Opensecrets.org.

Note that she would not be visible in politics because civil servants cannot be. But her husband might be. And she may not have taken his name.

Can we find out if she's married and to whom? And then run Opensecrets on his contributions."

Freeper Fuckers.

7. That's what Freepers are like when they freak
But they know very well what's coming. I can't wait to spend my Wednesday lurking on FR next week.

2. A pertinent snip ...
"... it elevates to a criminal matter the election-year question of whether the Bush administration showed favoritism to Vice President Dick Cheney's former company."

6. If I were them I wouldn't freak about this
I would FREAK OUT about the MN film crew video with the UN seals along with the explosives showing they were at Al QaQaa in mid April.

11. Because Johnny Asscrack is the AG, for starters
Nothing will come of this investigation. He will make sure of it.

And if bush loses the election? Well, 11th-hour pardons are nothing new for any president. Better to get this thing started ASAP.

14. They still think that we are actually fighting for the Iraqis' freedoms.
That this war doesn't have anything to do with the PNAC/neocon oil agenda! Yes, they're that stupid!! I think they know the inevitable for the Chimp administration and "Go Cheney yourself" Cheney and his evil, crooked ass!

16. Why should they freak?
Those money-grubbers all LOVE Halliburton! Remember, they live in a "Anything for a Buck" world. Ethics and conscience mean nothing to them!

17. Overload, that's why
Edited on Thu Oct-28-04 05:02 PM by Technowitch
Every bit of news currently in circulation right now is hideously bad for them:

- The missing explosives (and video proof they were there as late as April 18th, well after the invasion)

- Gulianni blaming the troops for not guarding those explosives (despite orders to the contrary)

- Doctored crowd photos in Bush's advertisement

- Bush's still unexplained shoulder-buddy (lump under coat)

- Three badly failed debates

- All their voter suppression and fraud attempts being exposed almost immediately

- Nader turning into the Invisible Man

- Polls showing strong momentum towards Kerry

- Repugs making total asses of themselves in Senate and House races all over the country

- Delay under fire for blatant ethics violations

- Horrible consumer confidence polls

- Bad economic numbers in general

- An exploding deficit

- Armed forces increasingly disgusted with their 'Commander in Chief' -- and becoming more vocal about their opinions

- Torture and war crimes

- Our side of the political spectrum coming together like I haven't seen since the 1960s

There's actually lots more, but you get the idea.

The Freepers don't have any bandwidth left for much except threatening to take up arms and start a civil war.
