The presidential campaign has made one thing clear: The Bush administration employs a strategy of lies and dirty tricks to stay in power. This is well documented. The administration predicated its war in Iraq on false information. Bush campaign surrogate Swift Boat Veterans for Truth fictionalized Kerry’s service in Vietnam. And the Department of Homeland Security seemingly issues terror alerts… return to article

Karl & Darby Rove

Posted by Kirk Muse on Sep 11, 2004 at 12:57 PM As a Canadian, and a large majority of fellow Canadians if polls are accurate, suggest what is it that at least 40 percent of Americans don’t get about Emperor Bush II tat seems to allude them. In Canada a federal election with Emperor Bush and his dirty politics would put him and Rove on the trash heap.

WHY GEORGE W. BUSH IS
THE WORLD’S LEADING TERRORIST!Analysis by TvNewsLIES.org
Terrorism is the unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives. - US Federal Bureau of Investigation
Read the sentence carefully. You didn’t hear it on any corporate media newscast since 9/11. It’s the official US FBI definition of terrorism. In its official definition, the FBI does not limit terrorism to stateless individuals or groups. In its official definition, the FBI does not suggest that terrorism cannot be perpetrated by the leader of a nation state. But even more amazing is that the official FBI definition of terrorism describes exactly what George Bush did in the aftermath of the attacks of 9/11!

Posted by Reg on Sep 11, 2004 at 7:38 PM Are we really to believe that Kerry deserved all five medals awarded to him over a four month period? And how wonderful for him to get out so fast, even if it did require 3 purple hearts. I wonder how severe those wounds were. . .
Kerry really has no one to blame but himself for his failing campaign. He showcased his Vietnam record as the reason to elect him. Many of the vets who served with him dispute his official record - and many MANY are still upset at his trashing of Vietnam vets when he came home and, um, testified to Congress (but hey, aren’t all soldiers baby killers, rapists, etc?).
Perhaps Kerry should run on his Senate record? And Bush on his presidential record? Neither is particularly distinguished. . . This election is really between Mr. Dumb and Mr. Foolish.
Posted by none on Sep 14, 2004 at 2:11 PM To be perfectly honest, I’m not thrilled with Kerry. The only reason I support him (other then the fact that he isn’t Bush) is Edwards. I’m not going to gush over Kerry, because I see little to gush about. What I will say is, the mistake of 2000 can’t be repeated. The only way you grow is to learn from your mistakes, and if Bush gets elected again, then America has a learning disorder (or he stole it again). There’s a chance Kerry is a mistake, but we’ve seen what kind of a mistake Bush was.
We need a Democrat in office again. I’d like to say I have nothing against Republicans (I like McCain, at least) but it seems as if, and I can’t remember who it was who said this first but its not a Josh original, the Republican party has become a refuge for corporate theives, racists, Bible-thumpers, and basically Southerners in general. I live in the south, and I know how blindly some people around here would follow Bush into oblivion based solely on the fact that he’s a damn Republican.
My mother hated Clinton, loved Bush, and I could never grasp that. Basically, she hated Clinton for lying about a blow job, yet she doesn’t seem to mind Bush lied about a war that is causing thousands and thousands of deaths. Redefeat Bush in 04, for God’s sake. If not, I may just have to become Canadian.
Posted by Josh on Sep 14, 2004 at 7:31 PM Josh,
Yeah, crazy about the reason why people hated Clinton.
I ask them what’s worse? Elderly widows losing their life savings and starving, people working two jobs to pay for health insurance and they still can’t afford to go to the doctor, the cost of living going up month after month while American troops die in a made-up war......or some guy getting a blow job and lying about it? They still say, “well, he was scum!”
People are stupid and hypocrisy is running rampant. It’s why the GOP is doing such a great job of brainwashing people into believing Iraq was responsible for 9/11.
I have an interesting link for you. Just where are the remains of that airliner?http://pixla.px.cz/pentagon.swf
I’m for going to Canada or Australia if dubya steals this election again. But, they probably don’t want an influx of thinking Americans coming over their borders.

Clinton let Bin Laden get away.

1) It is not the responsibility of the federal government to insulate people from the harsh realities of life.
2) The nanny state is a failure, and it causes much more of the same problems it attempts to solve.
3) The notion that everyone had perfect lives under Bill Clinton is absurd on its face.
4) No elderly widows are starving BECAUSE of George Bush. Therefore you’re a gutless liar.
5) John Kerry is going to lose.
Posted by York on Sep 16, 2004 at 10:37 AM Actually, the whole Clinton-let-Bin-Laden-get-away story is another Bushie myth. The guy who coordinated the supposed hand-over of Bin Laden was from Sudan, a harbinger of Al-Qiada and Hamas etc. When the Clinton’s contacted the Sudanese government, they didn’t know anything about it. Nor would they have given over Bin Laden if they had him. Interesting side-note, the guy who made the offer now works for Fox news.
Posted by Josh on Sep 16, 2004 at 5:19 PM Well, York, According to “president” Bush, the #1 priority of this nation was to get bin Laden after 9/11.
Here is what that murdering liar had to say:
“The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him.”
pResident George W. Bush, September 13, 2001“I don’t know where he is. I have no idea and I really don’t care. It’s not that important. It’s not our priority.”
pResident George W. Bush, March 13, 2002Well, where is he? Who attacked the WTC? It sure wasn’t Iraq or anyone allied with that nation. The Patriot Act abominations have inidicated this “president” is convinced threats still exist. Using his paranoid logic, then wouldn’t those responsible for 9/11 be the #1 priority? Apparently not. That is absolutely terrible leadership.
Speaking of Clinton:
“New Yorkers, who three days after their world caved in had still to see George W Bush descend on their city and show them leadership, greeted Clinton like a returning Messiah. He, in turn, treated them like a priest tending a wounded flock. And it all came so naturally and so genuinely that it seemed somehow bizarre that he hadn’t been driven there in a limousine bearing the seal of office. The scene made me, as an outsider, and surely millions of Americans, ask : “Will the real president please stand up?”
****** The Mirror (London), Sept. 16, 2001 ******More great leadership there.
You probably believe a plane hit the Pentagon, too.
I know lots of people who did very well during Clinton and now are working two jobs under that murdering asshole Bush.
But go ahead and be a typical Republican and ignore proven facts and blame everything on Clinton. If I did something like that I would consider myself a traitor.
Posted by Neil on Sep 16, 2004 at 5:28 PM bush has flip-floped a 100 times more than kerry.But if your for bush it does not matter, you would suck his ass no matter what he does. What about the 1.2 billion dollars the bush family has recieved in the last 10 years from ben forgotten’s family?
Posted by v.p. on Sep 16, 2004 at 8:58 PM Neil, do you understand that nothing you say will ever absolve Clinton for having let Bin Laden get away. Read the book, “Losing Bin Laden”. You can find it on Amazon. Educate yourself.
As for certain things Bush has said regarding Bin Laden, you’re obviously unaware that these are very specifically calculated things with an intended purpose having to do with Bin Laden’s image and influence on the “Arab street”. The administration hasn’t changed one thing about their policy towards Bin Laden, they’ve only changed how they’re talking about it. What’s funny is that this was meant only to fool the uneducated gullible peoples of the middle-east. And YOU FELL FOR IT! You’re one savvy guy.
By the way, Kerry is less than 2 months from having his ass handed to him. He can’t even run a decent campaign, and you guys want him to run the country. HILARIOUS!
So long loser.

So then, what you’re saying is that Michael Moore has laughably become you’re intellectualy guru.
There is not one thing in your statement that is true. Gutless liar!
Posted by York on Sep 16, 2004 at 11:15 PM york, read the book by kitty kelly. She has 4 years of research putting this book together, with documents,witnesses, and interviews. What do you have bush’s bullshit. He could tell you the sky is purple and you would suck his ass and believe it.
Posted by v.p. on Sep 17, 2004 at 12:09 AM V.P., excuse me, but you appear to have gone to the Dan Rather school of journalism. YOU made the assertion, so YOU have to back it up.
As far as the Kitty Kelly book is concerned, surely you jest. Are you unaware of her history of fabrication. She is notorious for this kind of thing. That you would take someone like her seriously makes me pity your ignorance.
So now it becomes apparent that in addition to being a gutless liar, you are also a clueless mass of obtuseness.
I can tell that you’re one of those people with a really sorry life. You make bad decisions, and then blame the consequences on everyone else. You’re what we call a loser; a blamer. That’s why you’re just right for the Democratic party. It’s the party of whiny malcontents that are too stupid and too lazy to ever be a winner in life. And that’s why Social Darwinists like myself have nothing but contempt and disdain for your breed. Geez, I really hope you’re sterile. We don’t need anymore like you.
I’ll be dancing on your ideological grave come November.

That’s why Canadians by and large cannot be taken seriously. Personally, I think we ought to send every Euro-wanna-be Canadian over to their native France. Then, adopt the few reasonable Canadians that are left, and turn Canada into a storage facility. It would take all the force of a local Boyscout troop.
