Is BushCo now carefully measuring

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

...American public reaction to the gratuitous slaughter of civilians, through Middle East surrogate, Israel, similar to the way they tested our reaction to the bold and obvious state and national election theft introduced over six years ago in Florida---similar to the way they're getting us used to the concept of military tribunals and indefinite detention without due process at Gitmo---similar to the way martial law is being tested on us in New Orleans?

And secondly,

Are they now waiting and watching to see if we (the citizenry) will remain sufficiently docile and easy to manage before they press forward, full throttle, with their grand plans and complete their implementation of the totalitarian state?

1. Since the Bushit

administration claims * gets his actions from his gut (or where ever God, Rove, Pickles) and not from Polls...he is just going to clear brush on a ranch 9 miles away from his pig farm.

8. I wonder about Pickles sometimes...

...It seems to me Chimpy being reelected (reinstalled by Diebold) was about the worst imaginable thing that could have happened to her. I wonder how she really feels about him. How could anybody love the heartless sociopath she married. And that mother-in-law, God, how in the world would you deal with that nasty, monster thing.

9. She married into money

I'm sure it wall all explained to her.
She must have decided that enduring the behavior of her simian mate was worth the price of being robed in infinite wealth.
There isn't much that Bush influence can't get. And as long as she plays nice with the Chimp, it's working for her.

2. Give MR_Jefferson a prize...

we have a winner. Anyone who would dare come up with the idea that American citizens should be held without trials is completely evil.

4. I'm sure Mr. Padilla would agree...

10. You know what they say about marrying into money...

...you'll end up having to earn every dime and then some---or something like that---I think.

3. No. Arab and Persian civilians are no probe.

If Israel accidentally bombed a kennel, there would be more outrage.

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

5. I'm sorry to say it, but I think you're right...

...even MSM would indict Israel harshly if they bombed a kennel. Speaks to the madness of it all.

6. Beyond politics now.

This has gone way too far. This is not about Rove, Fitz, the idiot, or the compliant legislative branch anymore. This is about a train wreck.
We need an immediate regime change if there's any hope at all left for our future.

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

7. Agreed.
