How Bush and the Repubs justifiy everything
Edited on Mon Feb-20-06 07:16 PM by ProSense
Lie, cheat and steal:

Iraq #1: Everybody thought Iraq had WMD (based on the information doctored by the administration)


Iraq #2: Saddam was a bad man (used after lie #1 was exposed)


Iraq #3: Spreading democracy (used after lie # 2 was criticized as a crazy reason for invading a country. It's CYA time. Also see the Libyans — oops they’re rioting again; see the Palestinians – oops they elected Hamas)


Plame outing: Did you know the VP can declassify info? (lie)


Gerrymandering: Republican version of election reform (create districts in which it’s no longer necessary to suppress the African American vote at the polls)


Torture: America does not sympathize with terrorists (except during the 80s)


Spying #1: George Washington did it (past presidents defense)


Spying #2: President is all powerful (fascist dictator defense)


Katrina: MIA period followed by comparison of Katrina to the war on terror. Say America is winning the war and congratulate a crony (heck of a job Brownie)


Abramoff #1: Democrat got Abramoff-related donation (logic: tribes and Abramoff are one in the same)


Abramoff #2: Jack who? (pretend not to know someone who contributed tens of thousands of dollars to their campaigns


Haliburton: The only company in the world with the expertise to do any job (and steal money for Cheney)


Cheney's energy meetings, shooting, whereabouts #1: Fu k you


Cheney's energy meetings, shooting, whereabouts #2: private matters (crazy bastard who believes his role as VP is second to personal gain.)


Cunningham: GOP mob of one according to the media
(where the hell are all the people, besides Katherine Harris, that this guy dealt with?)


Harris, Rohrbacher and all crooked Repubs: After getting caught with dirty money give the tens of thousands of dollars to charity (and pretend not to know the contributor)


Obtaining a church's membership list: All church goers are Republican (the GOP got caught pushing their message via the pulpit, so they decided go after church goers by mail)

1. You forgot the most important component!
Religion.

All across the country, thousands of Republican Preachers give shelter to these evil men. Everything they do is justified in the name of Jesus.

2. Edited to add.
It's definitely not all inclusive.

3. Excellent Post...My question?
Why in the world isn't the rest of this country howling with indignation?

4. Thanks!
I think more outrage would come about if CNN ran a completely accurate account of the last five years. Run it between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. when their programming is being piped into doctor's offices, auto shop and other waiting rooms around the country. (Boy that burns me up.)

5. Good point, but we also have to quit being
a thirty second sound bite society and start thinking about what the hell is going on!
