Hardball..If We Get Attacked B-4 the General...McCrazy Wins

[rsmith6621]

The panel that TWEEDY had on all just agreed that if we are attacked before the election McSane Wins...

..............JEEZ guys thanks for putting that thought out there...do they know something we don't...

[tridim]

1. They're wrong.

[Kutjara]

2. He's wrong. If we get attacked before the election...

...Bush wins, because there'll be no election.

[Cha]

6. America won't stand for another one of their "attacks" to

manipulate the AMerican People.

[cliffordu]

24. As long as the gas and the Ipods keep flowing the American

people aren't going to do shit.

[Galway girl]

30. if we get attacked it will be a LIHOP (Let it happen on purpose)

Always ask who beneifits...The answer is often the people responsible

[terrya]

3. But...wasn't Bush supposed to have protected us from another attack?

That whole Department of Homeland Security thing. How he was far better suited to protect us than Kerry and the Democrats? That was the whole fucking theme of his 2004 campaign.

[Cha]

4. I call Bullshit on those fucking stodgy ol corporateWhores.

If we get attacked then bushites weren't doing their job. And mccain has his lips permanently attached to bush's ass.

[grannylib]

5. Tweety's a rePigliCon; he'd be thrilled if McSame got in, or if

his "hero" puppet in a flight suit declared himself DickTater for life.

[blogslut]

7. Idiots

These people actually get paid to spew bullshit.

If we get attacked again, it will be because BushCo fucked up. The people will be enraged.

[southerncrone]

8. Of course they do.

Question is: Will talking about it extensively deter it? :shrug:

We can only hope so.
But with these criminals, they have no problem with blatantly pulling all kinds of illegal & horrifying stunts to get what they want.

Don't forget.....Desperate people do desperate things.

[panader0]

9. I think the potential attackers know this too.

While I don't think it's true necessarily, I also don't think that anybody in the world really wants mcsame as prez. Middle Easterners know that mchundred would be a mistake.

[gcomeau]

10. Yeah right...

...because that would SO prove the whole republican "We were right to fight them over there so we wouldn't get attacked at home. We've made us all safer!!!" talking point.

Obama would knock their teeth in with it if they tried using an attack as an argument to vote McCain.

[shadowknows69]

11. Bullshit, if we do they own it

THEY didn't keep us safe like they promised. I thought us being in Iraq made us safe?

[slinkerwink]

12. If that happens, we need to raise the biggest ruckus about political manipulations of our election

by outside groups.

[Nite Owl]

13. Why would that be their conclusion?

If we are attacked that means the GOP has utterly failed to protect us. After all they keep using that argument that their hasn't been another attack so if their were then they win either way? Doesn't make sense. But then it is Tweety....

[FrenchieCat]

14. So McCain can only win if we experience an Attack?

Damn....that is sad.

Just that would make me not want to vote for him. How can something terrible be what makes folks want to vote for you.


Stupid Pundits in a Square acting like stupid Pundits in a Square. With them around, who needs the Fundies predicting rapture? :shrug:

[SDJay]

15. I've Always Wondered Why...

a certain point was never made vociferously. That point, especially if this sort of catastrophe happens again, is, "this happened not once, but TWICE on YOUR WATCH, party of safety - how in the hell are you the ones who keep us safe again?!" I never thought Rice and the ilk ever took enough heat for us being caught with our pants down on that day in 2001. She didn't do her job, Dubya sat there with his thumb in his ass for seven minutes after being told we were under attack, and all of that was never overtly raised, even to rebut the whole bullshit meme of "we're keeping the terrorists away from you" BS. Honestly, if the voting public runs to the party who was in control during two domestic attacks for protection, then we are truly fucked as a society.

[Raine]

16. I disagree...STRONGLY

I think it would show that the reTHUGs have TOTALLY botched keeping this country safe. :-(

[Middle finga]

17. If we get attacked again, that means the republican president

has failed a second time to protect the american people. Another attack after Bush who McCain is in lock step with has spent a trillion dollars to fight his so called war on terror, will only prove Obama right in his aurgument about being on the wrong battlefield. Chris Matthews is dumbass

[villager]

18. Suspicious, when you apply the "cui bono" question to terrorist attacks...

And yet, "coincidentally," the media never makes that link...

[ngant17]

19. and LIHOP/MIHOP questions would surface

once it becomes obvious who would benefit the most from the terrorist attacks. Is this being designed like it was gonna be an Operation Northwoods? You really have to start being suspicious about these things. _Bush has gotten a free ride from all this so far.

[villager]

22. and of course, we dare not officially ask *those* questions...

lest the whole facade come crumbling down!

[Franks Wild Years]

20. Oh crap, I thought I'd gotten these fears out of my system years ago...

...I've gotta fly a couple of times close to the election. I'm flying - without my Girlfriend and young Son - and now I'm going to have my already nervous disposition hammered by these idiots. So yeah: I'm a bad flyer as it is, now I can just picture hearing about all sorts of possibilities over the coming months as right-wing pundits salivate over the prospect of an attack handing McCain a victory for...umm...err...being a part of the administration which has failed not just America in terms of security but THE WORLD.

Ugh. I hate this kind of talk, it's irresponsible and misguided, it serves only to make people jittery...That it is still wheeled out by these media people is fucking pathetic.

[PM7nj]

21. How? Doesn't that show the War on Terror to be a massive failure?

I don't understand.

[Sensitivity]

23. Not if we have a strong National Security ticket

[JI7]

25. because we woudln't have been attacked on 9/11 if a Republican was President ?

wtf ?????

and if we are attacked before the election it would be because a Democrat was President ?

wtf ?

i understand what they are saying, but anyone who votes according to that is just stupid.

[scheming daemons]

26. This is the same media that said Clinton had the nom easily........

...and then said Clinton had it clinched when Edwards dropped out.


...and then said Clinton had it made when the Rev Wright stuff came out.


...and the same media that said Giuliani was the GOP front-runner in December.



The media doesn't have a clue how ANYTHING will play with this electorate.

[nsd]

27. They're wrong.

They're just wrong (as previous posters on this thread have said).

Another attack of any size would just underscore Republican incompetence and illustrate the lie about "fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them here."

[TheKentuckian]

28. I don't see why an attack would kneejerk elect McSame.

I don't see why an attack would kneejerk elect McSame. Surely, the Republicans have completely and utterly demonstrated that they must proceed into the wilderness and cannot pass go under ANY circumstances. They have shunned and made little of the Constitution and have defrauded the American people in about every possible way.

Anybody with sense will trust almost none of these Republicans including and especially McSame for selling out what little piece of his soul and love for freedom he had left just to get to run.

These people have completely sold America out, as a nation and an idea. You don't give the rats control when it hits the fan because that's when they do their worst damage.

If you vote Republican due to an attack you also probably think O'Reilly and Rush host news broadcasts. Otherwise, you're supposed to have enough sense to know that the neocons are possibly the #1 threat to our way of life.

Though, our own stupidity and ignorance may be the winner, most of our citizens allowed themselves to believe we had to go to war with a country that we had an aircap on. Only later did we figure out we were on a madman's mission to win political aims with military resources.
Freaking gun barrel democracy! We'll just randomly assemble what ever zealots,nut jobs, and gang bosses that hated Saddam and then just blast on whoever is being most disruptive for some undetermined period of time until the seed of takes hold, grows, and blossoms.

[hokies4ever]

29. Not exactly what they said

They said that a national security crisis would tilt in McCain's favor since voters tend to go to the right more when something like that happens. Not the same as saying that McCain would win.

[shadowknows69]

31. If we get attacked we may not have elections

That's why me and my tin foil hat family are fully expecting a MIHOP attack soon.

[niceypoo]

32. These panels never ever get anything right

WHy pundits have so much pull in this country is beyond me
