I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
The fascists have been pwned.
Game over.
No more falafel.
I saw the ABC News report using the KSTP tape. OUTSTANDING.
ABC then showed and pointed out that it was Bush's hero Rudy Giuliani that denigrated the troops.
Finally, ABC showed us the alleged Al Qaeda tape starring Ari Fliesher in Arab Headdress.
They'll just continue lying about it and the conservative kiss asses will swollow it hook, line and sinker.
I love to see a good chimp get whacked... I also love to see that the media is finally doing their jobs in seeing the truth come out, rather than having Pepsi and Coke argue over beverage truth.
The deluge continues, too...
Newsweek Reports that Bush Energy Official is Also a lobbyist for Libya - yeah, that Libya
Hear that Mr. President? That's the sound of chickens coming home to roost right in your nether regions.
but hannity said...
Based on facts, your assesment is correct. But you forget, Atrios, that Bush does not live in the reality-based community. He will likely come out saying that the video shows he was right all along, and it was the soldiers' faults anyway. And the lazy, sensationalist media will cover it like it is just another side of a debate, as if it was fact. Welcome to the land of the free.
Fuck the bastards in Washington. But, my concern is the missing 58,000 absentee ballots in one of Florida's most democratically-voting counties. Anyone heard updates on this?
Liberal lies! Our leader would NOT lie! They went missing in 2000! In fact, they didn't even go missing at all! They're still there! My dog told me so!
Kerry got it all wrong, all of that stuff was removed before the war, Kerry is an opportunistic liar...
What, really, they have it on tape, news crew huh? embedded..., knew that was a bad idea...
ok, never mind.
Well, at least they got to see their terrorist video so that ought to console them. Really? You don't say? Well, they are just having a mighty bad day.
Holy Christ, the whole fucking con game is falling apart on them, as we watch.
Kerry's gotta sweep some Dems into the Senate so we can nail these fuckers for what they did to our troops.
Fuck Bush and fuck Cheney.
Four "fucks" in three sentences--they don't call me Captain Carl for nothing!

Maybe the sissy, pushover, shitbag media has finally decided to try to stand up to Bushco? probably not
Who ya gonna believe, the press, the troops, the Iaea, videotapes, or Cheney-Bush.
I just wish Kerry would lay off the missing explosives issue. The point has been made. The campaign needs to turn positive in these last days. Here in Wisconsin, the negativity is constant on the newsfeeds.
But we did get Bruce! Go John, Go!
Oddbit
Good point, Oddster- Now comes the Big Vision and Optimism part
Dammit when will it make the mainstream press? ALL of the outlets?
Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Oh, goodie.
Oh, this is fabulous.
Scarboro, Hannity, o really, and Buchanan doubts the whole thing is legit.
Yeah, what about those missing ballots in Florida? Can we win despite them?
Clearly, CLEARLY this only proves one thing...That this is all Bill Clinton's fault.
And Rudy patootie blames it on the troops.
Asshole.
Anyone heard updates on this?
Diogenes
I heard the set up a special office and are FedEx Overnighting the ballots.
Rudy Guiliani committed career suicide
today.
Amazing. An example of embedded reporting actually revealing the truth. I don't think the Pentagon anticipated that possibility.
Five bucks says some right-winger mentions the Bush Guard memos tomorrow.
An October surprise: media is not a whore for one day.
I just heard that video game song from Mario Bros. (the one that plays after you fall down a hole or get eaten by a walking toadstool with eyes or something).
YES!!!
You have to wonder how many more outright proofs of Bush administration incompetence the freepers can possibly handle before they go postal?
Pretty soon it's going to happen. We all know it will. One defeat after another. One debate loss after another. One refutation after another.
Come November 2nd night there will be a small army of freeper idiots out there with guns looking for anyone who happens to be smiling and will blow them away.
Anyone who could possibly smile after dear leader, our gift from god, loses the fraudulant election couldn't possibly be anything other than a terrorist loving liberal.
MYOB'

I just wish Kerry would lay off the missing explosives issue. The point has been made.
No, Kerry needs to shove it up their ass and light the fucking fuse.
MOVING GOALPOSTS ALERT!
I just heard that slimeball Stephen Hayes on Hardball claim that the explosives could have been removed WITHOUT BREAKING THE UN SEAL!
I shit you not. They are reaking of desperation!
Anyone know where this turd first popped up?
I heard the set up a special office and are FedEx Overnighting the ballots.
Yep. Which brings about my tin-foil theory, which is that this is all intentional, and now when Kerry wins Florida the Bushies will be able to point to this and say that some of these people probably got TWO ballots.
Just wait.

But seriously, WTF was Rudi thinking? They didn't look hard enough? Makes me think of that video of Bush looking under the Oval Office furniture for Iraqi WMD's.
OT but...4+ point change today on tradesports.com. Kerry ahead of Jr.!
Diogenes - One rumor on the missing ballots is that they were delivered to the post office's back loading dock, and someone could have made off with them. Put your tinfoil hat on at that point.
Is that a dem leaning county? How did it vote in 2000, anybody know more details? Hope the GOTV people are all over this, driving ballots to these peoples houses, etc.
Why do you all hate America?
Did anyone see the entire Hardball? In the part I saw, Tweety and guests made no mention of the KTSP tape.

Dave J - I don't think you theory is tin-foil at all. In fact, that would be the concern. It seems tailor-made for a challenge to the legitimacy of the votes from that county...Think of it..Not 500 or 1000 votes, but 58,000 votes! That is a huge number, and 90% of them are likely for Kerry. I hear that Mike Moore is on it, though (FWIW).
Here are the "Facts" you're all missing.
1)The TONS of Explosive missing are Bill Clintons fault. EVERYTHING is Bill Clintons fault.
How do the Republicans know this?
2) God told them.
Can't find explosives what next, ballots?
What?
Shit.
Dave J.
Yeah, kind of like Bob Dole and the purple hearts. I'm still trying to figure out how someone can get shrapnel imbeded in his leg without bleeding.
I also heard that new absentee ballots are being sent out in Florida. But what the F--k happened to the other ones? Are they blaming the Post Office or did the boxes of ballots just not get delivered?
pie -
i think Thug's comment was tongue in cheek. maybe just wishful thinking on my part.
It lives to dominate another news cycle!
BREAKING NEWS! After analyzing the writing and markings on the crates of explosives shown in the KSTP video, it appears that this whole event is a DEMOCRAT-RUN FRAUD!
If you look closely at the marking on the crate, it appears in French. We all know that John Kerry looks French and we know that he even likes the French!
Also, if you inspect the font and kerning on the crates you will notice that the text burning equipment used is NOT capable of burning letters so close together signifying that they were DRAWN ON!

Sorry, should've put a Smiley or something. It was supposed to funny. But now it's just sad.

GP:
I saw it...you're right, no mention.
Don't worry....tomorrow there will be.
I sincerely hope Giuliani felt it was worthwhile going on national television and denouncing the efforts of our beleagured troops with what was then only a highly suspect hypothetical, because this irrevocable act of betrayal is going to effectively end his political career.
One part of me says "yeah, the fuckers finally got caught in a lie." Another part of me says "fuck, these loose weapons are out there blowing up our military!) This Al Qaaqaa situation is going to haunt us for years to come.
The troops and their families must be slightly annoyed...
Countdown has its great spin going on the fake photo, the "qa qaa cackch", cheney manipulation and suicide by guiliani.
What did Rudy Mussolini (aside: married his cousin)say about the troops? I haven't heard or read anything about this anywhere else.

yeah, that on top of the abu grhaib story, what ever happened to that story anyway? we only heard the beggining, time to tell the rest.
One rumor on the missing ballots is that they were delivered to the post office's back loading dock, and someone could have made off with them. Put your tinfoil hat on at that point.
I'm telling ya, ya put on the tinfoil hat when you put it on the loading dock at night in the FIRST place. These creeps knew what they were doing. They put it there...then they took it right back off. They're gonna hold onto all of them and TRY to say, look! It says not at this address! The postal service had them, delivered them, they came back, and now this person tried to vote twice! Fraud! Fraud!
Problem is...
You'd better have the right kind of codes on those "returned" letters. You'd better have them in the right kind of ink, the right stamps, everthing.
If anyone--and I do mean ANYONE here, has this happen to them, email me a pic of the purported returned mailpiece. I'll tell you if it went through the postal service or not.
BREAKING:
Bill O'Reilly claimed just now that the harrassment case has been settled. He claims that the settlement will include a ststement by both sides that there was "NO wrong doing."

It was interesting during the panel discussion on Hardball-the KSTP video was never mentioned. Something tells me now that ABC is airing it (and Keith Oberman is discussing it) everyone will have this video tomorrow.
Poor George, he's gonna have a bad weekend. *snort*
LJ - Don't you work with the post office? My Dad retired from the USPS after retiring from the Navy.
Anyway, I use to have to go get something from my Dad on occasion and I would go through the back loading dock. I could have walked off with anything sitting their and nobody would have noticed, and this was daytime. I imagine anything left at night could easily sit out there for hours without anybody noticing. Smells like a setup to me. Dump them on the loading dock at night, have a GOP operative come and take them (a handfull of boxes at the most), and then blame it on the USPS - "We left them on the dock, not our fault if they got lost".
"I just heard that slimeball Stephen Hayes on Hardball claim that the explosives could have been removed WITHOUT BREAKING THE UN SEAL!"
Okay, that's really just kind of sad. I mean, how pathetic is that?
Giuliani is such a prick! What a fucking prick (I can't think of anything else but that!)
had to lie in dreamlike purgatory for a quadrillion years...
and talk about yer morning breath?
I say when these fuckers are down, kick them hard. And harder. So far, we're ready and willing to hit them with chairs, tables, fireplaces, china cabinets (after removing the wedgwood and Murano) reed & barton silverware, hot coals and andirons. Steel-toe boots will probably feel like ecstasy up next to all that, but aim a few at the guts, anyway.
fuck it - anon 8:12 is me...
halliburton no bid contracts = war profiteering. oh boy i hope kerry gets a senate to go with his new presidency. popcorn time.
Paula Zahn is a fucking skank ass whore.
Broward, Palm Beach, Miami-Dade and Volusia counties were all democratic strongholds in 2000.
This from Commondreams:
"Michael Moore, the documentary film-maker who directed the anti-Bush movie Fahrenheit 9/11, is expected to deliver a protest speech outside the Broward County Supervisor of Elections office at 7 tonight.
Moore plans to discuss news reports that 58,000 absentee ballots are missing in Broward, according to his publicist, Terri Hardesty."
This might spell trouble, but my "N" from the INFP in me says that Kerry will win so convincingly across the country that Bush can have Florida. Then again, I think Kerry will win in Florida sans the 58,000. Perhaps I am overly optimistic here, but I think the polling idiots are in for a surprise.

Keep in mind that catching the "fuckers" in a lie in no way affects the fact that these weapons are out there. In other words, we've known for days that the explosives are out there. No reason not to be pleased that the incompetence that made the release possible has been exposed. Accountability is part of the solution to the larger problem.
Monica A,
Did you watch the video clip?
I saw it live on the Today Show and it blew me away.
For better or worse, I just want the election to be over already, and sadly, it's only going to get worse.
Its the classic battle between the Giant Douche and the Turd Sandwich
reports that 58,000 absentee ballot
Didn't Tweety say 78,000? Or was that Olbermann?
You may be right Diogenes, but better safe than sorry. Besides, it is the principle of the thing, something the Repugs will never understand.

It's a nice TRY at a setup, but it doesn't fly. You're right that anybody could get in there and take the mail. That's why we have a big sign saying, "IDIOTS: DOCK NOT GUARDED. LEAVE MAIL HERE AT YOUR OWN RISK, BECAUSE IF IT'S STOLEN, IT'S YOUR FAULT, NOT OURS." The actual sign is nicer than that, of course, but that's basically what it says.
Check out Kos. Apparently Zogby is going to call the election for Kerry on The Daily Show tonight.
All well and good.... but GOTV GOTV GOTV
Kerry is going to need Hercules to clean all the shit out of the Ofal office.
Chris, I hope you have to eat those words.
Captain Carl agrees with LJ--kick these motherfuckers in the teeth, then pretend we're helping them up only to slam a well-placed knee into the groin.
That's what they'd do, and they'd sleep well that night, too. We have make sure they stay down for a long fucking time.
They're like that psycho in the "Halloween" movies who keeps getting up.
Ken Michaud - Who cares what Bush says? People saw the video, heard the report - they can figure it out on their own. So Bush continues to lie - so the fuck what? That's all he ever does and this just makes that so much more apparent.
Fuck that whole "oh this won't mean a thing," bullshit. It means plenty.

Ohmigod. Somebody who posts here

Most amazing campaign week ever.....

Olbermann's doing the Bush doctored-troop ad!!!
I just read Giuliani's remark. Oh, he is a bastard! What a prick bastard!
Tena - Let Bush lie? Are you serious, you forget, half the country still believes that Iraq attacked the US on 9/11.
Oh my God. Paula Zahn has chest hair!
This and the "unfit to be C-in-C" comment from the piss'ident. Do we see a new ad that's good for 3-4 days?
Monica A- yeah but he does have repug family values to his credit.
Most amazing campaign week ever.....
For Zogby to be doing this now is unbelievably over the top.
Holy cow. October surprise, indeed.

Let's make this an HISTORIC landslide that will HAUNT the Re-Fuck-Licans for DECADES!

Is the doctored ad really news, I've been watching the news channels all day, and out of everything, why are we discussing this? Its really retarded.
Most amazing campaign week ever..
Don't stop...and don't get cocky.
Work harder and GOTV!!!
This just in (more or less): O'Rielly settles Fallafel suit. But will we here the "hot Italian women/use a vibrator, baby" tapes? Enquiring minds want to know!!!
I heard that it is a lower number than the originally reported 58,000. I don't know if that is honestly the case - I heard it on NPR.
As for challenging the vote in Florida - I'm beginning to think that even Rove wouldn't have that much chutzpah. Maybe - I guess we'll see. I spent the first half of the day worrying about that shit. Right now, I want to enjoy that unbelievably spectacle of everything and the dining room table coming right down on George and Karl's heads. I couldn't ask for a much nicer way to end the day than contemplating ABC running both the Bush makes an ass of himself mocking no WMDs ad, and Bush giving the country the finger. Sweet.
Gotta go, now -- . Calling everyone I
know about Zogby.....
The Freepers are now trying spin number 8 on the missing weapons now that it has been shown they were there at least nine days after Baghdad fell:
Fox debunked this story tonight.
At the bottom of the UN report from the IAEA it states that their seals on the building aren't failproof since there are ventilation shafts in the buildings and the contents of the buildings could be accessed without breaking the UN seals.
So a bunch of Iraqi's climbed down air shafts and removed 700,000 pounds of explosives on their backs. Those tricky little bastards.
BWAHAHAHA!

ABC News was a thing of beauty tonight. Understated, factual and devastating. It looked like real journalism, by jiminey.
With video even. And sooner rather than later. Wow. When have the good guys been that lucky lately?
I don't think Kerry has to mention it again other than maybe just enough to keep the issue breathing. When the KSTP story hits all the papers, complete with IAEA seals, tomorrow morning, (and it had damn well better) it's over.
Only the very dumbest, craziest and most viscous winguts can miss the point now.
Kerry really gets it. Bush doesn't even know where to look for it.
Let Kerry be enthusiastic, relaxed, presidential, optimistic, positive.... let him just look and sound like the winner. I think that's where we are now.
the consequences of zogby "calling" it are huge for potentially both sides.
democrats may think why bother and not vote...So could repugs. But repugs may think I'm not gonna be forced to have anal sex with french wine drinking eyerackis so they all turn out the vote from their trailer parks in larger numbers...
Or Chimpy just gets his FUCKING ASS KICKED!
Bush is getting EXPOSED once and for all, and not a moment too soon. Thank God for embed news teams!!!! Woo-hoo!
Let's MOSH the Vote to victory! They aren't gonna stop us now. Go vote early and help others GOTV!
KERRY BABY!!!
how in god's name did the russians get the stuff back into al-qaqaa under our very noses? they're diabolical!
Let's see... on the same day, Haliburton criminal investigation underway, ABC proves weapons taken AFTER invasion, Bush campaign forced to admitt El Fake-o campaign photo of soldiers, and O'Reilly settles (admitts he's guilty) "Dirty Fallafel" suit. Does it get any better than this?
Here's a link to the missing ballots story from the NYT:
http://tinyurl.com/3zseb
The number they give is 60,000.
Here's a gem from that story:
"Bush is a liar," Gene Conrad, a 65-year-old teacher from Jupiter, said after hearing Mr. Kerry deliver a speech on religion the other day. "He lied us into war. And I cannot vote for anyone who is dumber than I am."
OK, now I am seeing that perhaps there are two stories here:
"The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported Wednesday that up to 60,000 absentee ballots had been sent to, but not yet received by, voters in Broward County, which includes Fort Lauderdale. County elections officials did not return phone calls from The New York Times, but Gisela Salas, the deputy elections supervisor, told The Sun-Sentinel that many of the missing ballots were sent on Oct. 7 and 8. Ms. Salas said she had no explanation for their disappearance."
That's the 60,000 number. However, there is another report that indicates that the 78,000 absentee ballots that were on their way to the election office via the USPS has "gone missing." That's the story I've been wondering about in this thread. Now I am seeing this 60,000 number - the absentee ballots that were mailed and simply never made it to the intended recipients. Hmmm...Is that 138,000 ballots in heavily democratic counties that are somehow compromised as of this moment? Am I missing something here?
Did anyone catch Paula Zahn asking after proof with the video with the seal to the doors of the explosives depot--US troops going in and the Skank Whore asking, "Will we ever know when those explosives were taken?" What more proof do you need you fucking stinking whore?
Goddamn
OT:
I've been asked by my kid's Social Studies teacher to be the moderator at the mock Presidential debate for her class. I'm really excited. I'm going to nail those little bastards...I'm just kidding...Maybe! I did tell them to be prepared because I may ask anything. Finally...my Bernie Shaw moment.
fuck the fucking fuckers
So a bunch of Iraqi's climbed down air shafts and removed 700,000 pounds of explosives on their backs. Those tricky little bastards.
I guess the freeper didn't take into consideration that there's video of the American soldiers with the explosives.
What a bunch of morans.
Jack,
Sadly you are "correct." According to the Right, if only Clinton had taken care of OBL when he had the chance (among other things he failed to do after the '92 WTC attack), 9/11 wouldn't have happened. It's their "Clinton Duty Dereliction Domino Theory."
Fucking Paula Zahn asking will we ever know with the video proof the fucking skank just aired!

Holy Moley!
One hundred thousand strong. Too bad Dems aren't fired up for Kerry.
Somebody ought to staple a picture of the rally to Whore-Ad Fineman's forehead.
BTW, what the fuck is up that toupee Whore-Ad wears?
BWWWWWWAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA! Like they're going to shimmy down a ventilation shaft without yanking off a thin wired seal.

the freepers are going insane.
now teh excuse is:
"yeah but there is no date stamp on the video and the reporter didn't test the content of the barrels and it could have been sand and all the explosives were removed through the ventilation shafts and KErry has a relative that works at ABC and the trooper in the video didn't have his helmet on and MArtha Radditz wanted Elian Gonzalez sent back to Cuba and teh pentagon has photos of the stuff beign removed and ABC won't let us bloggers see the whole video and no one cares about this and the democrats are so desperate BLAH BLAH BLAH."
what a bunch of fucking primitives.
I agree with Atrios that some of the GOP are poster children for the post modernism they hate so much but a BUNCH of these wing nuts are pre-moderns...
If the same sort of evidecne--seals with ID numbers, cases marked "al qa qaa" cylinders marked with smae labels, etc.--was found in Syria they would have invaded it already...
But what if these explosives are 'found'? The CIA can say they just remembered they were all moved and are safe somewhere.
Then Bush gets to nail Kerry for trusting the liberal media and the UN, and for blaming the troops. Tie that in with Kerry in 1972.
Chris, aka "Turd Sandwich"....STFU with your depressed ramblings. Senator John Kerry, War Hero, Patrios, Prosecutor, Dumbass Thrashing, Debate Winning, Corruption Fighting, NPOTUS, can't be mentioned in the same sentence with the F-ing Idiot...Go back to your hole. If you are voting for Kerry, in spite of your contrived apathy, good, go vote, then FU>
Re: the 58K ballots.
Not going to matter anymore.
Kerry wins by so much those votes will not matter one little bit.
Also,they are just blank ballots so who cares,some people might be inconvienced at most.At least the votes will still be counted,so the issue is really a nonissue.
Rudy,fucked himself,he said the same thing yesterday and it got lilttle attention,to say it agian is political suicide.

Gooper game plan:Cause as much confusion in a few key states with Gooper legislatures.Use the courts to delay certification of the vote.Win by state legislature voting Bush all the electors.
Just in.
Bush blames magician David Copperfield for making explosives disappear.
Via Flit: However, we know, thanks to
Fox News, that bunker 47 was not
officially sealed (it was, though, right
next to a couple other bunkers that
were) and was filled with exactly the
kind of drums you see in the photo to
the right.
So two possibilities remain: either the
news team entered an Al QaQaa bunker
that was not being monitored by the IAEA
at all, but happened to contain what
looks like tons of explosive anyway, or
they are in bunker 47 itself, having
caught on tape American soldiers
breaking the padlock on it, and that
picture to the right is what 3 metric
tonnes of the best high explosive you
can steal looks like.
Chris - give it a rest. Half the country, 50% of the people - different people have been saying this for months. It's not true, in the first place. You don't know how many people still believe that. In the second place, once Kerry wins, then we can worry about those people who still don't understand what happened.
Because there is no fucking way that 50% of the American people are voting for the Chimp. That much is obvious.
I have the most impure thoughts when I see that man (don't kick my ass, Teresa!)

Zogby has been going around telling anyone who'll listen that this is Kerry's election. I had friends at the Daily Show taping today, and Zogby was on. To great cheers in the studio audience, Zogby declared Kerry the winner.
But no one wins without GOTV. So let's seal the deal with lots of G. O. T. V.
Use this thread to tell GOTV stories, and ask and answer all your GOTV-related questions.
Are there any superscript "th"'s on the seals? If so, look out.
Expect Cheney to say, "I didn't say that!"
As I await the arrival of my evening pizza....I sit here with a warm glow of happiness.

I just want to enjoy the evening with this warm happy glow.
Starting with Friday shows, I am taping everything up to the Sunday morning shows.
I am a happy man.
I love you all.
See, liberals, here's what you're missing--back in the 50's, the KGB began developing a race of mutant rats that could carry 1,000 times their own weight.
After the fall of the Iron Curtain, the Russians assured us that such programs had been discontinued, but clearly they lied.
Intelligence experts feel almost certain that Russian military personell dropped these mutant rats DOWN the ventilator shafts, and, using a particularly fragrant piece of cheese . . .
i hear giuliani got his lisp from sucking cardinal o'connor's dick.
He just looks like he smells good. Like that Alex Trebek (Mad T.V. fans will get the Trebek joke.)
Yeah thanks for the link. I remembered seeing CSpan accompany people there, could have sworn Kaye and other inspectors did as well.
And Bush just said otherwise today. Nice flip-flop. The only way to make it this obvious is to have friends in the Dem ranks who will let Bush's theft of Truth and Honor and Democracy slide.
Expect Kerry to live maybe to the 2 year mark unless he expidites the trials and eneds an early outing...
A win is a win, and that's great. But a BIG WIN is what's needed. And not just POTUS. Let's keep working to see Dems get elected at all levels. We need to SEND A MESSAGE that stops the righties in their tracks.
It looks like we're going to get our best wish. But a Kerry mandate will nullify the inevitable right wing slime. Well, for a little while, anyway.
The right won't give Kerry a second to breathe. They'll be on him worse than Clinton. We need to make sure he has all the support he can get.
You think this will make any difference, puny Dimocrap? We will just continue showing on our channels Administration officials pledging on their sacred army that Russians moved the explosives to Syria. Our people will believe whatever we tell them to believe!
::cackle!::
My god those pictures of the rally in Wisconsin! With a tear in my eye I looked at them and thought "Could it really be happening? Could this be the end of our national nightmare?"
This week has been a roller coaster. I've found myself literally crying at my desk at work out of no where. I've found myself wondering what I will do if America loses on Tuesday and what I and the millions and millions of others will resort to should our nation decide to continue on with it's dismantling. It has been a rough four years and I am exhausted.
Tuesday is a bright and shining sun on the horizon that I am so looking foward to.
Also,they are just blank ballots so who cares,some people might be inconvienced at most.At least the votes will still be counted,so the issue is really a nonissue.
smalfish, that is exactly what i heard one jacksonville dem. did. she showed up at the poll to vote. she was inconvienienced and a little miffed, but no way, said she, was her vote not getting in.
i understand 75 percent of kerry voters see this as the most important election of their lifetime and they are right.

No way in hell are Democrats going to say, "well, that's ok then, I don't need to vote."
No way in hell.
Go read the post Kos put up today about how organized and motivated the left is - it is a thing of beauty. Seasoned politicos are saying the left has never been this together.
CS - I think the new line is that the film crews only saw a few tons, so the other 377 tons were already gone. Hard to keep up they are spinning so fast.
Fuck, fuck fuck - I just looked up the voting for Broward county (60k missing ballots) in 2000, about 70-30 for Gore. Coincidence my ass.
Ok, I know here in the People's Republic of Boulder we may be somewhat to the left of the most of Colorado. But, I went to early vote today and found lines of hundreds of people at two different sites. Lots of college students. Waited at one for over half an hour when we were told "the computer crashed" - odd since we had paper ballots, but it turns out it was the computer that prints the early ballots. Have to go back tomorrow.
So I stopped by the Dem headquarters to sign up for Tuesday and found they have so many local volunteers already they're sending people to other, more conservative counties to help out.
I think I'm starting to sense that "new administration" smell....
I just can't wait until the day we have a new president so I can quit being pissed off.
Kos has a truly nasty flyer up on his site that's being distributed in the Milwaukee area. They will stop at nothing--we can't stop fighting until 11/3.
Ann Coulter has an Adam's apple. Paula Zahn has chest hair. What...were they Romania gymnasts during Ceausescu or something?
I hope we are all taking a moment to rate up the Yahoo news story on this.. yes?
OK, I'm a bonehead. Got it now...It appears that the missing ballots were not ones that had already been cast but were indeed blank. According to the gurus of democracy in Florida, we need not be concerned...
Florida County Plays Down Missing Ballots Scare
By Jim Loney
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (Reuters) - Fears that thousands of absentee election ballots had gone astray in a hotly contested Florida county appear to have been allayed on Thursday when officials said a far small number were missing.
"The extent of the problem is not going to be as great as it appeared," Broward County Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes told a news conference, easing concerns of a resurgence of the kind of problems that dogged the 2000 election.
Officials in Broward said this week that nearly 60,000 absentee ballots mailed on Oct. 7 and 8 had not reached voters' homes.
But Snipes said that in fact of 128,000 absentee ballots mailed to voters who will not be able to vote in person next Tuesday, 72,000 had been filled in and sent back and the rest were coming in at a rate of 10,000 a day.
She said that instead of having to send out as many as 58,000 replacement ballots, the county would probably only have to resend 10,000 to 15,000.
"I think it was more of a delay than that the ballots were lost," Snipes said.
With the memories of the 2000 race and all signs pointing to a neck-and-neck race in many states this year, Democrats and Republicans have prepared teams of lawyers to fight their causes should there be disputes.
Reports that nearly 60,000 ballots were missing, representing more than 5 percent of the county's electorate -- alarmed voters, democracy activists and officials.
U.S. Postal Service investigators began hunting for the ballots, while insisting 58,000 pieces of mail do not simply go missing, and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement also launched a speedy investigation.
Snipes said the election authorities, inundated with phone calls from anxious voters who had not received their ballots, had contacted the Postal Service investigators "in an abundance of caution." She added that the Florida police had reported back that "no criminal activity was determined."
The Broward County elections office set up a hotline on Thursday for voters who wanted their absentee ballots to be mailed again, and had received 267 calls so far, she said.
The county is also calling out-of-state voters to see whether they had received their voting forms and would courier any replacement ballots needed.
In 2000 the race in Florida, on which the national contest ultimately depended, was so close it prompted five weeks of lawsuits, recounts and accusations of foul play.
President Bush (news - web sites) eventually won Florida's electoral votes and the White House when the U.S. Supreme Court (news - web sites) halted the ballot recounts, angering Democrats who believe Democrat Al Gore (news - web sites) won
Seasoned politicos are saying the left has never been this together.
Frankly, I think most Americans have never been this together. We've seen some scary times in the last four years, and I knew in my heart that we're better than we were being portrayed.
I am just happy to have my faith restored in this country.
Ongoing battle, sadly. But this is good.
The explosive story's fallen right off Drudge. Even he won't touch the moonbat "they slid down the ventilation shafts" theory.
Monica - stop it. He looks like his arms are strong, too. and yeah, like he smells good.
Stop it.
I had erotic dreams about Clinton when he was prez - surprised me, actually. I wonder if...
Fuck the bastards in Washington. But, my concern is the missing 58,000 absentee ballots in one of Florida's most democratically-voting counties. Anyone heard updates on this?
I heard tonight that is more like 10,000 missing as they are now ariving in the mail, late ?
If it was me, I would just yank off the seal and go right in and take what I want.

But what if these explosives are 'found'? The CIA can say they just remembered they were all moved and are safe somewhere.
The CIA remembering where these are in time to help Junior?
Ha. Ha ha. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
1) It's ridiculous to think the CIA would "steal" this stuff and hide it, then make it appear again. Why? It makes no sense. If you think they'd steal it and hide it to "help" Bush, then read on.
2) Valerie Plame. The spooks have NOT forgotten her, you can bet on that.
Why do you all hate America?
Let's see. Hmmmmm.
1. For starters this nation was founded not on freedom, but greed.
2. We went into a foreign land. Stalked, hunted, trapped, caged, chained, whipped, beat, hit, struck, raped, mutilated, murdered and enslaved tens ofthousands of free people for no other reason than the fact they were black and we were god-fearing whites.
3. We claim to be a christian nation, but this nation worships the almighty dollar. Rather than walking through the perly gates most christians in this country would rather descend into the long greenbacks.
4. We have the world's highest rate of murder and rape of any country in the world. And it's been this way for a very long time.
5. We hypcritically go into other lands, set up slave-like sweatshops. Profit from their misery. Take away their dignity and human rights. Oppress and terrorize the locals with the approval of their corrupt, bought out third-world dictators, then act like we're innocent when some of those third worlders attack us back.
6. My wife is Puerto Rican and her family still lives down there. Her family and their neighbors are getting tired of the U.S military using their beautiful island as a target range, then doing a half-assed job of cleaning up the undetonated shells.
7. My wife, besides being Puerto Rican, had a great, great grandfather that was a runaway negro slave who managed to stow away on a ship and make it out of the country, so go see #2 again dumbass.
#8 I'm one-quarter Cherokee so you white skinned motherfu**ers stole my father's lands, gave my brothers smallpox, and murdered us to near extinction so f*ck you!
America is a great nation, perhaps the greatest of nations, but it's roots were born in evil and greed that has YET to cleanse itself.
That's why I have a love-hate relationship with my home.
America! land of the Greedy, home of the enslaved.

Covered earlier - state legislatures can't designate electors unless that is the way a state's system is set up befpre the election.
Any issues about which electors are certified are determined by a state's election commission or the courts.
This refers to the 2000 court decision where Scalia advanced the position that it is up to state legislatures to determine the system of elector selection BEFORE the election. He suggested that could include the legistlature choosing them itself. But NOT after the election.
Lots of stuff to worry about, but not this.

I'm with ya there buddy.
Of course all the bushie supporters are delusional so they won't believe it. Idiots.
I just heard that slimeball Stephen Hayes on Hardball claim that the explosives could have been removed WITHOUT BREAKING THE UN SEAL!
Anyone know where this turd first popped up?
Hayes is a "Weekly Standard" douchebag who floated some phony Feith-based intelligence on Iraq about a year ago, which was supposed to prove once and for all that "Saddam Hussein's Iraq worked with Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda to plot against Americans."
He's basically just another lying GOP hack. MMFA has a lot of stuff on him here. IMO, he should be drawn and quartered.

Maria Shriver--Red Sox fan/klutz
by LeftCoastTimm
Fri Oct 29th, 2004 at 00:42:23 GMT
Just heard on KCRW that Maria Shriver, Red Sox fan and First Lady of the State of California, is out for three months with a broken foot. Apparently she was so excited by the Red Sox victory that she jumped off the couch and landed on one of her kids shoes, breaking her foot.
This would give Arnie an excuse to cancel his trip to Ohio, but I doubt that he would. It probably should give Maria a reason to start cheering for one of California's five fine major league baseball teams, if for no other reason than her own safety.
I know I am going to sound really greedy...but could we take the Senate too???
I mean with all those old Supreme Court justices..it would come in handy.
"Seasoned politicos are saying the left has never been this together."
I doubt that includes most of the limp dick democrats in congress who stood idly by and puckered up to Delay and Bush rather than grow a backbone and say what needed to be said when it needed to be said.
MYOB'

pie - me too - we are better. we are not as stupid as Bush has made us look.
and we're going to stay organized and we're going to make this democracy work. we're going to fact check the media whores right out of business. we're going to demand that the Fairness Doctrine be reinstated. we're going to get back the checks on runaway capitalism that ronnie, that fascist fuck, removed from our system and damn near ruined it thereby. No more of this shit.
we don't need to hunt down Repugs with dogs, like Cheney and the rest wanted to do with us. we just need the checks and the balances back in place and in good working order. we can get this country back where it should be.
I'm not above hitting a few with tables, chairs and fireplaces, however. And please the goddess - war crimes trials all round!

Yeah, whatever. You bitch about this all the time. You've, no doubt, been paying attention to media coverage and the hype for the last three years.
We're going to win this, because some figured out how to do it.
We're not going to let up, MYOB.
But you need to STFU for at least a month.

This refers to the 2000 court decision where Scalia advanced the position that it is up to state legislatures to determine the system of elector selection BEFORE the election. He suggested that could include the legistlature choosing them itself. But NOT after the electio..............................Bush v Gore specifies that it cannot be used as a reference for any future court case.In 2000 the Fla. legislature was threatening to vote for electors,and would have split the vote between Bush and Gore throwing the vote to the Governor,smirkys' brother.

Amazing but true - within a half hour of your comment, Orrin Hatch (R - Cryptkeeper) was on Paula Zahn's sad excuse for a news show claiming the exact same thing.
It would be wild fun to intercept the master hive communications link and "spoof" it. I'd like to see just how stupid shit had to be before the minions would refuse to shovel it - "This just in! Space Aliens removed the explosives with help from Chinese intelligence!"

I think we ought to bring back the tried and true practice of tar and feathering.
I love the smell of desperation in the morning. It smells like victory!
So, what the hell happened? Did some overpaid, underworked "journalists" look around at all the shiny equipment they had and finally realize they could DO something with it?
MYOB - In the first place, the Dems have been a much abused minority in Congress. They have been locked out of rooms where legislation was laid out that they had to vote on, they've been shouted down and generally beaten to a pulp. Still, they blocked as many of Bush's judicial nominees as they could and they fought hard.
In the second place, with a president of their own party, the Democrats in Congress will have a much different working atmosphere.
Quit bitching about the Dems. They have been abused to within an inch of their lives. The Repugs held everything - everything for 4 years. I'm tired of people expecting the Congressional Democrats to be fucking super heroes - though some have been, despite the pressure.
Now STFU about it.

Hecate- Ah, it all makes sense now
I came out in '91, but just moved back a few months ago after 2 years in New York. The first day back I felt like Dorothy when she opened the door into Oz. I'm living right next to the creek near Boulder High. Personally, I'm still stunned most people don't just stare at the Flatirons all day, whether from a distance or right up in them.
Come back- we'll make room!
Tar and feathering isn't hard to do. An angry mob grabs one of those politicians. You have a huge pot heating tar. You brush it all over the politician and then pat chicken feathers all over them which sticks in the tar.
I'm already spoken for though. I'm a poll watcher for ElectionProtection here.
Tena, I got a message this evening from EP here in Tampa, FL. The night-before meeting place has been changed -- from the local NAACP office to a cathedral.
I'm hoping, hoping, hoping it's because they needed more room, for more volunteers. Maybe some folks here read about the GOP gangs ready to challenge at "certain" precincts and decided it was time to get active. And I thought this was going to be a relatively peaceful gig.

Nah, the first half of this season had some great episodes, but last nights was pretty lame.
When they're not preaching, South Park is still the funniest show on TV and the only reason I have cable.
U.S. Postal Service investigators began hunting for the ballots, while insisting 58,000 pieces of mail do not simply go missing, and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement also launched a speedy investigation.
To give y'alll an idea of how much mail is 58,000 pieces... Rough estimate? 24 ft long X 6 ft high X 2 feet deep. Kid you not.
Kinda tough to have something taking up that much room...then not be able to find it...
Mary Cheney's name will be mud from now on in the gay community.
Somebody wrote "we can't stop fighting until November 3rd". Unfortunately, when Kerry wins on Nov. 2 the real fight will just begin...
The more the beasts are cornered, the nastier they will get. And BushCo is going to leave JFK as many minefields to traverse as they can possibly muster. What time they have left over from shredding documents between Nov. 3rd and January 20th will be spent trying to undermine the incoming government of the Unites States.
Also, the Democratic Party will need some housecleaning and the BIg Ones - prime issues like the war, terrorism and the deficit that Kerry is faced with - will demand the attention not just of policy wonks but of an energized political base if we're actually going to do more than spin our wheels and pray for deliverance by the fearless leaders. Atriosians need to start thinking about helping to build a winning liberal political strategy that will impact the next generation, not just the next election.

"Also,they are just blank ballots so who cares,some people might be inconvienced at most.At least the votes will still be counted,so the issue is really a nonissue."
Except, couldn't the thieves fill them out for Bush, mail them in, and then point to the double balloting for these voters as evidence of fraud and have the lot of them thrown out of the count? Just asking. I would think any way they can obscure the true count would benefit them.
Let's recap. Today:
1) Missing explosives caught on tape
2) Photoshopped Ad
3) Giuliani blames troops.
4) Mosh hits #1 on TRL
5) Whistleblower forces FBI to investigate Halliburton
6) Ohio election board throws out over 900 GOP voter challenges; indictments imminent
7) Over 100K at Kerry's Madison rally
DNC puts $250,000 into Arkansas--AK and WV still up for grabs; and
9) Kerry ahead in Ohio, PA, and FL polls.
The only way they win is if they cheat.

Silleigh - we've had more volunteers in Dallas County than anyone ever expected. The woman who runs the PAC here has been in Democratic politics here for over 30 years. She has said she has never seen anything like it. Every time she has called some people to ask if they would do something, she got 100% yes responses. It has been amazing.
We have more than we need and a full bevy of lawyers on call for the 2d. This is Dallas, Texas, for all love.

Wow, looks like all of Hardball is on the FBI investigation of Halliburton's slimy contracts.
JeffCO - Ah, you are making me so homesick for my little place in the mountains. The weather here is unbearable - it has been in the 80's and 90's and so humid that the air is fully saturated and there are pools of water on the porch even though it hasn't rained since Tuesday. I've had a cold and I can't shake the cough and it's the humidity and the pollution. Arrgh!
Oh I miss Colorado so much. Dallas makes me crazy.
It's funny how when a chunk of the media begin to do their job at the minimal level of serious investigation, reporting and analysis, it seems like a paradigm shift.
Smallfish,
My sentiments exactly. I am hoping (praying) that the reports of election shenanigans are as overblown as the dire Y2K predictions (courtesy of idiot consulting firms) and the 'inevitable' mass chaos in the streets of Manhattan during the RNC because of the leftits/anarchists (courtesy of, well, almost the entire media). I hope we are all basking in the glow of a resounding victory Tuesday night so that all this stuff gives us something to laugh about. Then again, I am not taking anything for granted until the moving trucks show up at the White House.

BlakNo1, if life were like SouthPark, right about now, Bush would be ripping off his mask to be revealed as the bug monster alien he really is.
I think Bush should have to share a cell with Milosevic
what, tit for tat, shouldn't he share a cell with saddam, don't they deserve the same fate? oh, wait.
Just got off the phone with my grandma in Iowa. She was not going to vote at all; she doesn't like Bush, but wasn't convinced Kerry could do any better. I said, Grandma, if you don't like Bush after 4 years, what do you think you'll think about him after 8? She says she's gonna vote for Kerry now.
Booyakasha.
Wait a minute! Isn't that a proportional font on those IAEA seals?
Tena, it's hard not to get REAL encouraged by stuff like that. Someone dear to me is arriving here tonight with her fiancé to work with Tampa EP -- from New York.
What I love is driving to work these days and seeing random signs popping up: yesterday's new one was "1100 Dead. Mission Accomplished?" I've seen cars with Kerry '04 handwritten in that white stuff on their rear windows.
I never thought I'd live to see another election as explosive as 2000, but fugedaboudit. This is bringing enraged, determined people out of the woodwork.
Did you all just see the segment on Hardball about the Halliburton whistleblower?
Ye, gods. Prison, bitches.
I (heart) all of you!
Wait a minute! Isn't that a proportional font on those IAEA seals?
I've had a cold and I can't shake the cough and it's the humidity and the pollution. Arrgh!
Tena:
I think that cold's all over TX right now. I'm sick as a dog with it here in San Antonio, and can't shake it. For me, though the problem is the humidity and the cedar elm. It's killing me.
Oh, yes, Bush got OWNED!
Tena -
I live in Pearland, a conservative-wingnut- paradise suburb of Houston. In 2000 you saw no Gore signs but now Kerry signs are fairly common. In my commute to downtown Houston, I see just as many Kerry stickers as those stupid-ass "W04" stickers.
Texas may still be wingnut central but we "reality" dwellers are sure coming in fast.
OT, but did anyone read Edward Wong's front page piece in today NYT?
Ramadi is apparantly sliding down the tubes and becoming another Falluja. Besides the US military folks who (on the record) discuss not having enough resources to do their jobs, they have a quote from a couple of Iraqi National Guardsmen to an Iraqi journalist when they spot a couple of Marines walking up - - "Here come the sons of dogs."
Yep - and they have 25... no... 50... no... 75... no,no... One HUNDRED thousand of these fellas trained!
The country is seriously, thoroughly, Vietnam-scale screwed up. And Iraq is in the shitter too.
Do IAEA seals prefer sardines or minnows?
Damn, I messed up the URL. Regardless, he was OWNED!
Hecate - thanks. I joined in January and I've given them almost as much money as I've given Richard Morrison, Delay's opponent.
It's unbelievable what everyone has accomplished. Unbelievable. Volunteers bought the material and sewed 250 half-pinafores with big pockets and the EP logo for Democratic poll greeters to wear on the 2d; we have computer geeks who have worked with our county election authorities on checking the machines - I've been staggered at what can be accomplished. I don't want this to all just dissolve again.
Heard on the radio this AM, first confirmed case of influenza in the DC area. That's gonna start hurting Bush.
Ye, gods. Prison, bitches
I was going to suggest putting Shrub on a chain gang, but that kind of backbreaking work would probably be something he'd enjoy.
"Yee-haw, it's just like clearin' brush! Only with rocks!"
Damn, I go to work and come back and the craziest, most insane Rethuglican blunders went down: the KTSP video, Guiliani, the doctored photo, the polls, 71% expected turnout in California, the ad buy in Arkansas...
Bush is so, so fucked.
Yeehaw!
Get your ass to Mars, bitches.

I can't wait to get a :

U.S. Postal Service investigators began hunting for the ballots, while insisting 58,000 pieces of mail do not simply go missing, and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement also launched a speedy investigation.
So some jackasses think now is the time to start screwing with the US Postal Service Investigators? These are the guys who have a 100% success rate on finding and prosecuting idiots who mess with the mails? They're as relentless as Mounties.
OK, I am taking out the tin-foil hat for just a moment...
So, suppose BushCo really don't give a damn that they have fucked up so badly in Iraq and that there is likely enough heavy machinery and additional material now out there on the black market for some wacko to create a true WMD...Could it be that in their Jesus-lovin', neocon, armageddon pathology that they really don't care? I mean, if they're all getting the rapture anyway, why not speed it up a bit?
Now, Chimpy and company are voted out and leave the next admin. with a huge fucking mess (Mess'OPotamia as the Daily Show says)...But really, it's OK because the end is near anyhow?
Perhaps I need to stop hitting the pipe...
If Cheney and Bush do end up in prison, I suggest Abu Ghraib. With Iraqis in charge.
Tena,
You are so right -- we can't let this energy dissolve after we win back the WH (and, I hope the Senate. Alaska! is within reach!). We've got to have Big John's back and we've got to start working on the 2006 election on the morning of January 21st. It's like the Big Dawg's song: Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow!
Somebody wrote "we can't stop fighting until November 3rd". Unfortunately, when Kerry wins on Nov. 2 the real fight will just begin...
That was me, and my poor choice of words. I was referring to the disgusting GOP flyer posted at kos, and how we can't let the good news of the day slow up our GOTV action, but you are absolutely correct--the fight is just beginning, and we WILL take back our country from the wingnuts.
yet ANOTHER Repub disenfranchisement scam exposed--you can be sure they've tried this on other campuses in other swing states, as well!
"Pitt students gathered at a press conference yesterday on campus to discuss a recent scandal that left some of them with altered voter registrations.
Everybody Vote, a non-partisan voter registration group based in Pittsburgh, held the conference outside of Litchfield Towers to make college voters aware of the scam. The group has accumulated nearly 100 complaints from Pitt students claiming that petition-gatherers had them fill out voter registration forms that changed their party affiliation to Republican.
Students received notices by mail informing them of the change, and some students learned that they are now registered to vote in a different polling place than they had anticipated.
The complaints follow a common pattern: Over a period of a week immediately preceding the Oct. 4 registration deadline, men claiming to be petition-gatherers approached students with a petition supporting the legalization of medicinal marijuana."

here in PA right now i just saw a MoveOn.com ad.
It has Bush cracking the "where are those WMDs" joke, and then mentions that a whole bunch of people have died in Iraq, etc.
Somewhat OT -- while I don't live in a battleground state, it is fun to come home and see the answering machine light flashing. Last night, Ed Harris called me; tonight, it was Bradley Whitford. And neither one of them thinks I should vote for Bush.
I can't wait to find out who calls me tomorrow.
Go NARAL!
Tomorrow's Friday. Time for more of Bush's TANG documents to come to light? Terror warning to red?
Oh, MXC's match-up tonight is Bush/Cheney supporters v. Kerry/Edwards supporters!
If Cheney and Bush do end up in prison, I suggest Abu Ghraib.
Nah, I'm thinking something more like out of Deliverance. Cheney is the most responsible, so he needs to be the one squealing like a pig. Bush can just run through the woods like the chickenshit he is.
I was just stunned when I got back to Dallas at the end of September. I expected wall to wall B/C04 signs - but hell, the first sign I saw on LBJ freeway was a huge ass Martin Frost sign and then a Kerry sign. I finally saw a couple of large Bush signs.
I think that some people who are voting for Bush just because they are Repugs are not proud of it and are forgoing showing support for him. There are signs, but not as many B/C04 signs as Kerry signs in east Dallas.
Cole the Younger - wouldn't the missing blank ballots be numbered or otherwise identifiable? I don't know - just wondering if that might not be the case.
Oh I miss Colorado so much. Dallas makes me crazy. -Tena
Tena- I'm sorry it's sucking there, but I'm also glad there are people like you sprinkled liberally throughout bastions of insanity (or is that inanity?). Out of consideration for your suffering, I'll refrain from mentioning what a beautiful autumn day we had today.
No documents, Hecate, but they may release some rat turds from the Rodents of Unusual Size that eat explosives and defacate on guard records.
terror warning to red?
Nah, they'll probably hire some moron to fly his Cessna into restricted air space over the Capitol and send everyone into a tizzy.
Ha, just had a thought. Wouldn't it be great to get some skywriters to write "SURRENDER, CHENEY!" over the White House?
the fight is just beginning, and we WILL take back our country from the wingnuts
At least we have woken up. That's the first step, though it's only the early risers right now. But yes, the struggle will continue, and it's very important to create an infrastructure for the longer term. We need to keep putting money into this stuff even after November 2, and we need to find even more money to build think tanks and all sorts of media-related organizations, and we also need to maintain the grass roots movement from school boards on. No time to go back to sleep yet.

for once, i couldn't agree more with that war criminal.
I just saw that idiot Racicot on Larry King screaming about how the weapons were GONE GONE GONE!! King kept saying, what about the video? NO, they werer GONE GONE GONE!!!
Delusional as hell these fools.
watertiger,
I'd pay good money to see that!
Oh, my God.
Today was insane at work; no time to cruise news. I just turned on the telly and David Shuster on Hardball is delivering a complete SMACKDOWN report including the Giuliani clip and... damn, a complete litany of BushCo fuckups over the past couple of days... "For several days in a row, found itself cornered and on the defense."
Beginning to get the idea that there has been a HUGE shift in the cosmos today.
I'm starting to feel confident of a Kerry win and scared to death of the complexity of the mess(s) he'll be faced with and the inevitable GOPer strategy of slash-and-burn backlash when some of Bush's chickens start coming home to roost on Kerry's watch. It's a problem that's unavoidable and it's going to require brilliant strategy, near-flawless policy and unprecedented honesty with the American people for the new administration to truly succeed. I hate to start sounding like a pain in the ass before we've even celebrated what is beginning to look like an excellent chance for a decisive victory over BushCo, but these bastards have driven the country into a pretty big ditch - all of the objective problems facing us aside - and it's going to be a long haul getting back on track.
I never imagined that i would watch the Sox finally win the world serious in the bar of a cheap hotel in the middle of a vast industrial park in meriden, CT, but that's what happened. Don't ask me to explain. Anyway, great to check in here and see everybody feeling their oats. I'm feeling good, let's finish the game.
I luv Al Sharpton.

I can't believe it, I went out for a few hours, and there's MORE bad news for BC04. Now I'm starting to worry it's all TOO MUCH, the various bad news stories are stepping on each other. I think the media smells blood in the water.
Tweety is still a tool, but I love the way he covered the whistleblower story. And now he's bashing Guiliani.
Damn, I go to work and come back and the craziest, most insane Rethuglican blunders went down: the KTSP video, Guiliani, the doctored photo, the polls, 71% expected turnout in California, the ad buy in Arkansas...

four legs, you catch that on Larry King just now the wing nut radio host saying what were there 380 tons but weapons of mass destruction? Someone wrote a few days ago that the wing nuts would eventually the wing nuts would claim they were and I'll be damned if they didn't just do it.

You're sunk?!?! What the fuck about the poor soldiers on the receiving end of those explosives, now that they're out and about?? Think as much of them as Rudy does, I bet.
Beginning to get the idea that there has been a HUGE shift in the cosmos today.

"Those IAEA seals are hot!"

Delusional as hell these fools.
They're so desperate, they're blaming not only the godless communist Russians but the faggy champagne-sniffing French, too.
This is the tip of the iceberg, too, because a vast amount of weapons-related material is missing:
The more than 320 tons of missing Iraqi high explosives at center stage in the U.S. presidential election are only a fraction of the weapons-related material that's disappeared in Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion last year.
Huge amounts of arms and ammunition were stolen from military sites, and there's "ample evidence" that Iraqi insurgents are firing looted weapons at U.S. troops and using some of them in car bombs and improvised explosive devices, said a senior U.S. intelligence official, speaking on condition of anonymity.
In a new disclosure, the senior U.S. military officer and another U.S. official, who also spoke on condition he not be identified because of the sensitivity of the matter, said that an Iraqi working for U.S. intelligence alerted U.S. troops stationed near the al Qaqaa weapons facility that the installation was being looted shortly after the fall of Baghdad on April 9, 2003.
Methinks the spooks are pissed.
Hey!! Under my feet.... what is that?!?!
Whoooaaa!!! There's some tectonic plates shifting!!
elkal - The thread has already been pulled.
My last post was totally incoherent. I was trying to type and listen at the same time. Some wing nut radio host on Larry King was claiming that the 380 tons of explosives were WMDs and justification for the Iraqi war.
EXPLOSIVE AT AL QAQAA ON APRIL 18-WE'RE SUNK
It was a game.
How incredibly tragic.
MYOB - I think I understand where you are coming from and I know none of us can change your POV. But you have as single-minded a view of this country as the freepers have. Just from the other direction.
There's more to this country than all the bad shit. Just like there's more than just all the good shit.
Hey, how many of you want to go to DC on Nov 3, park outside Snarl's house and yell, "GET OUT OF EDWARD'S HOUSE!!!"
I'd rather lay in wait in the wee hours of the morning, and when Cheney shuffles out in his robe and slippers to pick up the newspaper, to leap out from behind the privet hedge and yell "BOO!" as loud as I can. I really want to see that pacemaker explode out of his chest, just like in "Alien."
It couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
For the time being you could yell "get out of Lieberman's house" and then on the third "Don't fuck with Edwards' house."

In Bush's stump speechifying, he keeps making these comments that Kerry is making allegations without all the facts. I would LOVE to hear Kerry mention them and then point out that that is exactly what Bush and crew did when they sent military to "Shock and Awe" Iraq!

Democrats should know this and be pushing the media to cover Michael Badnarik. Read now on Electoral-Vote: “A Rasmussen poll taken Oct. 26 in Arizona puts Libertarian party candidate Michael Badnarik at 3%. When the pollsters actually ask about him, he does surprisingly well. He might end up canceling out the Nader factor by appealing to disgruntled Republicans who support a balanced budget and small government and are appalled by the current deficit and power the Patriot Act gives the government to snoop on people's lives.”
Global Security says that the pictures of the trucks at alQaQaa that the WH is releasing doesn't look like it matches up with known sat pix of alQaQaa. Leave it to the WH to screw it up again.
""My last post was totally incoherent. I was trying to type and listen at the same time. Some wing nut radio host on Larry King was claiming that the 380 tons of explosives were WMDs and justification for the Iraqi war.""
Of course they are'nt WMD, but if they were and we left them unguarded, that would be an even bigger fuck up.

Oh, brother.
Rudy Guiliani committed career suicide today.
I haven't heard anyone on the antiwar left belittle the troops the way Rudy did this morning.
Michael Tomasky has a new column on the American Prospect website pointing out Rudy's history of bullying.
It's a *special edition* of Hardball.
heehee.
The insurgents shimmying through the ventilation grate (as in chris/tx's post above) speaks to a level of deviousness that is very low. These insurgents went to all that trouble JUST so we wouldn't notice when we came by to check the seal.
Seriously, this is an unlikely possibility. We haven't seen anything else of such subtlety in Iraq, hard to believe this would be the first thing they'd think of out in the wilderness.
Shaw Kenawe - I think I enjoyed that comment from the freepers as much as I've enjoyed anything else that has happened today. LOL - "We're Sunk"

hawthorn wingo - that's the thing about this story - it is nothing but a lose/lose for them. If it was the WMDs - big fucking deal - they're gone now and wasn't that the point - to keep them out of the wrong hands? So if they want to argue now that the war was justified, the incompetence is just killing. There is no winnable anything about this situation for them and they know it.
This isn't something we made up to make them look bad, this is the real deal. Not spinnable.

However, a comparison of features in the DoD-released imagery with available commercial satellite imagery, combined with the use of an IAEA map showing the location of bunkers used to store the HMX explosives, reveals that the trucks pictured on the DoD image are not at any of the nine bunkers indentified by the IAEA as containing the missing explosive stockpiles
Dammmn those commercially available satellites!! Who said the French were allowed to have fucking satellites anyway?!?!

Stephen Hayes apparently believes these stories are just last minute partisan attacks. The FBI investigating the Pentagon is not a partisan attack, Stevie.
He also said that no one had produced any credible evidene that Cheney had any connection to the Halliburton contracts.

Stephen Hayes is famous for pulling shit out of his ass. Except for the stuff he gets through signals from his tin foil hat.
I just love the fact that the guy who's been pusing the "al Qaeda-Saddam" link is now the mouthpiece for "no Cheney-Halliburton link."
Quite frankly, the fellas at the Weekly Standard should be rounded up and shot. Metaphorically speaking...
I'm not sure it's still up on the Daily Show website, but it's worth googling to find a link to Hayes being slapped into sillyputty by Jon Stewart. I mean, here's a guy who writes (shit) for the foremost smartypants periodical of the Neo-Cons and he gets taken down by a comedian...left speechless. Great stuff.
Just watching rerun of Tweety's Hardball. Is Jim Mikleszewski a Pentagon tool? He said the last time IAEA "laid eyes" on the explosives was last January when they viewed them and then sealed them. The clear implication was that the bunkers could be opened and the seals replaced to look as if they hadn't been touched. When the IAEA inspectors were there in March (3/8 for explosives, 3/15 for missiles, per doc on inspections-my note), per Mik, they did not unseal the bunkers and look into the contents, the boxes, to determine that the items were actually there.
They depended on the seals being unbroken.
This must be BushCo talking points, based on what commenter said about Larry King and Racicot.
Tweety also asked Mik if securing ammo dumps wasn't a "battlefield decision." Give me a break: We fought the damn war bcz of frickin' weapons, WMD's; these were dual use explosives, sealed by the blippin' IAEA; apparently 3rd ID actually investigated the "white powder" to see if it was a chem weapon, found it to be only an explosive, and left them all there.
Can't remember Mikleszewski's exact reply, but it seemed to absolve military, esp'ly fighting grunts sweeping toward B'dad.
Mik also made a big deal about the Iraqi Minister of Science including in his letter that the the explosives went missing sometime after 4/9/03. Since that is considered the date of the fall of B'dad, I would think that would make sense for an official not in power at the time who had signed statements from scientists at Al Qaqaa that nothing left while they were in charge and they were told to vamoos when US military came on the scene.
Now, Laura Ingraham is on Scarborough Country. Shudder. Don't watch him much--refuse to ever watch her again after having her forced on us during the impeachment mess. Hey, Laura, move on!

I signed up to be an election judge, i.e., poll worker, and I'm guessing it'll be a loooong night before I get home. At the training session they told us that whoever's in line at 8:00 p.m. (official poll-closing time) will get to vote, even if there are 200 of them. This'll be one for the books, folks; don't sit it out!
Aaron Brown just used the phrase "Game, set and match".
northsylvania - Hi, nice to see you.
Filthy Traitors. Indeed.
he sure did cnn spinning this as conclusive proof.

A. Brown also referenced a blogger calling the election schedules of the candidates a "whackamole".
Anyone have a clue what blog Brown is reading?
Let's go to the videotape!
Aaron Brown reads Atrios!!!!
The containers in the video were empty decoys left behind by the Russians.

northsylvania,
I was just trying to be polite.

I love Aaron Brown!
yeah, you'd think game set match. yet peter jennings still ended the segment by saying something like "the argument is bound to go on right up unitl the election..."
argument? what argument? what are they going to argue? "who are you going to believe-- us or your eyes." oh, wait, that has been their argument this entire campaign, hasn't it?
Springsteen should really be playing an American guitar, not a Japanese Takamine.

Aaron Brown
I'm afraid that he still deserves the duck pit. It is nice to see Kay using the game set match, as well.
If Brown turns a corner, maybe the chick pit™
Kerry/Edwards In A LANDSLIDE!!!
Jesus H. Christ.
Is anyone else watching Kay on CNN right now?
Sweet Jesus.
We just won this thing.
This was a nice cap to a very good day. Local FAUX channel news comes on at 9. Lead in footage shows der chimperor waving to zombie crowd. Voice-over is something like "Tonight - we examine the way meth addiction tears apart American families. What - Uhh, obviously the wrong footage here."
Me: "Not so much."
-
At New Donkey, there is an expose of Rove's plans for Ohbio on election day, obstruct and delay and stall and challenge.
In Chicago we have a simple response. We just find the Rethug and throw a punch.
I hereby declare an anti-Rove campaign for election day,
call it "TAP-EM"--The "Throw A Punch Election Movement".
At 7 a.m. Tuesday Nov. 2, in 3,600 precinct polling places across Ohio, some designated Democrat gets to Throw A Punch at the Rove Rethug obstructionist.
Don't have to hit him, just throw a punch, (have bail money in pocket), cops will haul off both protagonists.
End of problem. TAP-EM Nov. 2!!!
No, you are mistaken. All the facts are not in. They might be in . . . oh say . . . November 3. But right now, it is irresponsible to make political hay on conjecture.
(Can you believe they actually believe this shit? Can you believe they actually expect us to believe this shit?)
David Kay SLAMMIN the WH on this issue!!!! GO Newsnight!
IN reply to raciot on larry king earlier AB presses David kay can it be WMD
kay: NO ABSOLOUTLY NOT!!!!!!!'
Eat shit bc04
Listening to Kay, I am gleeful but also very sad.
Our poor troops. I thought I did everything I could to prevent this fucking war, but I now see I could have done more.
And now who knows who has these "incredibly dangerous" (Kay's words) explosives & what they will do with it.
Aaron Brown just used the phrase "Game, set and match".

Please tell me he used it in the same
context as Atrios. Are we talking
the video?
wtfwjd? - Why, what did Kay say? Tell, please
Just surfing past Faux and saw Wes Clark giving Greta a lesson in Civics 101. Separation of powers, founding fathers, etc. She asked some trick (for her)question like are the two parties being too partisan in the campaign and Wes did not take the bait but rather straightened her our like the class guy he is.
David Kay on Aaron Brown. Read the transcript when it comes up. He absolutely demolished all administration arguments.
Brilliant.
yeah, you'd think game set match. yet peter jennings still ended the segment by saying something like "the argument is bound to go on right up unitl the election..."
They can't declare the story over, hell, any good story, for these assholes, is a freaking cow, and they will milk it for all it's worth before moseying on down the herd for the next one. And all they ever give us is skim...
Kay says that the video definitely shows IAEA sealed HMX in the barrels.....yes Game Set Match as per Atrios!
Tena/Pie whoever--could we get a new thread? This one's getting kinda crowded. Anymore posts in here, and we're gonna need some lube!
Aaron's story #2 -- the doctored Bush photo
I venture into the ingraham sub for scarebourough. She was gushing at the polls she was showing. OK there is her mug. What a tool. I had not seen her face before. Scaryborough is fluffing the faithful over the phone.
Kerry/Edwards In A LANDSLIDE!!!
Steve, yes, exactly the same context.
Now covering the cloned soldiers Bush ad.
It's October and they are very surprised. Rocked back on the their heels. Keep it comin'. A Plame indictment would be a nice treat.
Now the doctored ad...
I should be taping this. Newsnight is masturbation material tonight.
Aaron Brown just used the phrase "Game, set and match".
bunny
Then again, I could be wrong...
Well Fox are gonna have to get bret bare to suck some major pentagon cock to be able to rebut this
Anymore posts in here, and we're gonna need some lube!
LJ
I happen to have some right here...
"Liquid Silk," I think it's called.
jack- Tom Friedman's wife was against the war all along. I hope she's pulling a Lysistrata on him.
David Kay just said the explosives' disappeareance is the faullt of the US. It happenned after the invasion - the Pentagon knew they were there.
Our poor troops. I thought I did everything I could to prevent this fucking war, but I now see I could have done more.
We all did everything we could to stop Bush and stop it. What we can and must do now and remove that thing and send him back to Crawford. He'll get his one day. Karma's a bitch.
Not only is Aarom Brown awesome on CNN right now, Larry King was great.
I'm pleased tonight. Keith Olbermann was good too. I have no doubt now that Bush will lose. The only thing that could call that into question is a terror alert...hopefully I'm just being paranoid...
???
Now its a menage a ingraham, scareborough, and luntz, full on Koolaid
Drinkers Ball.
At least she admits to working for the shrub.
washing my brain out now.
Kerry/Edwards In A LANDSLIDE!!!
Phila--
Oh, baby, now you're talking. My bottle's a wee bit low. Maybe we could share?
Tena,
He said he was trying to avoid being political, but:
- that was an iaea seal
- those barrels were either HDX or RMX
- they were wrong to abandon the site but they obviously hadn't been told to guard them
- poor intelligence
- these are NOT wmds
- but they are incredibly dangerous in the hands of a terrorist
- mentioned pan am flight
there is nothing more for BC04 to say on this issue. I expect to go to code red in the morning.
I sure hope David Kay does a lot of interviews in the next few days. With a dry unemotional manner he gives us the worst possible answers for the Bush Admin and confirms what we all were thinking about the weapons.
David Kay just gutted the administration like a fish. He said that this was much, much bigger than just Al Qaqaa - the Bush White House was notified of over 80 major arms dumps that they did not secure, and which have now been looted.
Iraq had 2/3 the amount of armaments and explosives that the entire US military has. I don't think the 363000 tons that Scotty McClellan goes on about were anything but a spit in the ocean. And now they are all out there - waiting to be used by people who are pissed we destroyed their country.
Funny freepers are strangley quiet right now
OT, but --
Last night I had my own personal troll
for the first time, and it was genuinely
creepy. I used to think most of them
were pathetic and funny, but not any
more. Of course, anybody who's been posting
here longer than me already knows that.
Still, it's one thing to read the
Freepers and another thing to have
one of them trying to soil you.
Of course, like all bullies they're
basically cowards, so fuck em.
Clinton's on with Diane Sawyer.
Completely OT, but here's an interesting email I received from a friend in Monterey, California:
As you may know, my sweet fiance is a registered Republican - don't worry, he can't stand Bush either. Anyway, he received an absentee ballot last week and was wondering why he got it, since he didn't request it. Yesterday a Republican poll worker called him and asked him if he got his absentee ballot - the Republican party has arranged for all Republicans to receive them!!! He was shocked. I am shocked. I take it as a sign of desperation - and also typical Republican dirty tricks. One more reason to get out and VOTE!!!
Anyone else heard about this?
So a bunch of Iraqi's climbed down air shafts and removed 700,000 pounds of explosives on their backs. Those tricky little bastards.
BWAHAHAHA! Anonymous
And presumably they broke down and removed all the cases & packing materials the same way. Definitely tricky.
You know, if this shit keeps up all weekend, and Kerry piledrives Georgeous George into the mat Tuesday, the Freepazoyds will spend the next 4 years calling this a "Media sponsored coup d'etat", and proclaiming Bush Preznit in Exile, or something. They are not going to go quietly into that good night. No siree.
Re: Pentagon tool John Shaw blaming the Ruskies for carting off explosives
Pootie-poot must think our president is a spineless little shit. Didn't Vlad the Inahlor just endorse VillagePeople Bush?
The Bushbots - so long a danger to themselves and others - are finally starting to end up in mental facilities, where they belong.
Check out this story.

Vast amounts of weapons-related material missing, official says
By Jonathan S. Landay
Knight Ridder Newspapers
WASHINGTON - The more than 320 tons of missing Iraqi high explosives at center stage in the U.S. presidential election are only a fraction of the weapons-related material that's disappeared in Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion last year.
Huge amounts of arms and ammunition were stolen from military sites, and there's "ample evidence" that Iraqi insurgents are firing looted weapons at U.S. troops and using some of them in car bombs and improvised explosive devices, said a senior U.S. intelligence official, speaking on condition of anonymity.
U.N. officials also are concerned about the disappearance of sensitive equipment and controlled materials that could be used to develop nuclear, biological or chemical weapons.
"If this equipment is finding itself on the open market, then anybody with money can buy it," said Dimitri Perricos, acting head of the U.N. Monitoring and Verification Commission (UNMOVIC), the U.N. weapons inspection agency.
The CIA has convened a "mini taskforce" of experts to assess precisely what equipment is gone and what threat it could pose if it fell into the wrong hands, said two U.S. officials.
In a new disclosure, the senior U.S. military officer and another U.S. official, who also spoke on condition he not be identified because of the sensitivity of the matter, said that an Iraqi working for U.S. intelligence alerted U.S. troops stationed near the al Qaqaa weapons facility that the installation was being looted shortly after the fall of Baghdad on April 9, 2003.
But, they said, the troops took no apparent action to halt the pillaging.
the Freepazoyds will spend the next 4 years calling this a "Media sponsored coup d'etat", and proclaiming Bush Preznit in Exile, or something. They are not going to go quietly into that good night. No siree.
It's true, and that's what a lot of the news is about...leaving lots of room for an alternative narrative.
But hell, if they won't go quietly, they can go screaming for all I care. Either way, they're going.
Mosh by Eminem coming up now on ABC.
Please tell me he used it in the same context as Atrios. Are we talking the video?
Showed still photos from the video and asked Kay if this is game, set, match. Kay said it was game, set, match for this bunker. Couldn't guarantee the seal was IAEA but he had never seen the like in Iraq other than IAEA. Kay also said that the containers were the type used by one of the manufacturers who provided explosives to Iraq.
Whoa! Eminem "Mosh" video comin' up on Prime Time ABC!!! What a fucking great day for the good guys!
Dave:
Re absentee ballots in CA--
Honey, this could turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Imagine the Republicans who hadn't expected a ballot, didn't turn it in in time, don't know that they have to bring in the absentee ballot if they want to vote at the polls...
Thank you Kent.
It was an odd experience, though.
@Doozer among Fraggles --
Yet, b/c they are so fundamentally reality-challenged, they will end up hitting the wall . . .HARD. (along the lines of the latest This Modern World. . "Blindfolds for Bush. . .")
Golly Jeepers!
We are missing a few friends tonight like "GOP squad for truth" or something like that, and all his nameless buddies. Hey guys?? No chat..??? tsk tsk
Geez...I wonder where they went??
When Kerry takes office in January, the great blogosphere will be standing by, ready to go into action. Unlike the Clinton torture years, we will attack the opposing Senators, Congressmen, Faux News, anyone who decides to ring terror on Kerry. We will bombard them with emails, phone calls or whatever it takes to convince them that they aren't going to "Clinton" Kerry. I think it will work.
steve simels, my first troll was *Walter Cronkite*. How awful that he picked such a wonderful name. It seems like years.
Scooter came to my defense, and I'll always remember that. These people are nothing but schoolyard bullies, and they whine when we throw their shit back at them.
They're weak, pathetic cowards. I hope that they've learned something. The smart ones will.
The dumb ones will continue their death spiral.
White powder? It was a "baby milk factory" (anybody else remember?).
Joe Klein: "smacks of desperation."
Last night I had my own personal troll

Don't worry about it, Steve. Practically everyone gets 'em, and it's basically a compliment anyway. Sheesh, talk to Tena and pie about it...they've been stalked by these goons for as long as I've been here, and well before that too, I'm sure.

whoa -- i'm thinking abc is taking on jr. after tonite's news program re the ktsp tape/jr flipping off karen/showing 'mosh' on primetime live.
very interesting.
That was a pretty decent segment on Clinton on PrimeTime.
Steven S:
Gosh, hon, my first trolling, I got a sex and ethnicity change (not to mention a serious reduction in height) and was accused of having all kind of kinky sex with various other posters, notably Philalethes.
I laughed it off as a fun thing. It's also why Phila and I flirt with each other so outrageously now. Of course, never mind how I'm an outrageous flirt, anyway.
Oh, yes. Walter screwed up one day and posted using his real name, Mark Harden.
It was hysterical. To see him exposed because of his own stupidity was priceless.
Bush is the new Nixon.
Ten years from now, no one will admit that he voted for Bush.
Tomorrow's headline" BABS BUSH, CHENEY ENDORSE KERRY"
I can't handle the venom on the talk shows tonight. Laura Ingraham upsets my cast iron stomach. My God, that woman is seriously vile. You know me (the day shift, at least), I'm usually pretty "up" ~ but all this election projection is getting to me.
Sorry to rant. Maybe I need sleep.
Philalethes - it's mild these days compared to times in the past. There used to be some really ugly shit going on all the time.
ephinany.
was watching scarborough country...
(it helps me get through the evening by pissing me off)
I'm probably late to the party, but i just realized something.
His southern accent is fake.
I know accents, my parents are from the deep south and 95 percent of my relatives are all over the place from Texas to North Caronlina.
I swear it's fake.
It's like he watched too many John Wayne movies as a kid.
I just once want to hear him say...
"Well pilgrim."
This shit went missing 18 months ago, and now Cheney is saying it might have disappeared before the war. Bush is saying he's called for an investigation into what happened. We were in control for 15 months, and now we give a shit?
Fucktards.
Philalethes, Tena and all -
Gosh - makes sense but I never thought folks would actually stalk posters. Sad - really sad...says a lot about them and their so called "just" cause. I wonder what they "think" (and I use the term loosely) they are doing? sigh....
An NBC reporter was with the first unit to arrive at the Al QaQaa facility. They searched the faciltiy and the weapons were already gone. There were no weapons to protect or secure, therefore Bush is not culpable. More likely is that Hussein in the short window between the last inspection and the start of the war had the weapons transported somewhere.
Sorry for the lack of reference. Joe Klein is on Aaron Brown. Aaron asked him if the video ends the argument on when the HMX/RDX went missing and Klein says yes and the Bush response was to trot out photos next to bunkers. Said that we fell for that once and now it just smacks of desperation. The American people are not going to fall for it again. Check for the transcript when it gets posted.
that would be a good nickname eh?
"The Duke"
Man oh man, we just might do it. What a day. What a fuckin' day.
Calm. Calm. Eyes on the prize. Eyes on the prize.

Oh, Anon, get with the program... KTSP shows that the munitions were there. Kay confirmed it on Newsnight just a little bit ago.
DO keep up.

I'm not sure how I would deal with the stalkerdom, but I would like to think that you would only be dealing with a coward hiding behind his keyboard.

Ten years from now, no one will admit that he voted for Bush.
Ten years?
People are apologizing for voting for him four years ago.
They just showed part of Mosh on Primetime.
Hmmmm.
Eminem will be on SNL this week.
Cant wait to see fox report this in the morning especially since kay has confirmed that it was hdx in the video and not wmd
Past troll ugliness is why I have continuing problems with anyone who posts as Anonymous. To me, that is the handle of the worst troll I've had to deal with - the one who stalked me for so many months.
So I see Anonymous and I just think it's that troll, automatically.
Relax, Vicki. You're among friends. And, yeah, sleep is probably a great idea. I have to drive to Ohio tomorrow.
But repugs may think I'm not gonna be forced to have anal sex with french wine drinking eyerackis so they all turn out the vote from their trailer parks in larger numbers...
OK, dude? I spent the summer in Iowa working for ACT to get out the vote. And there were axactly 2 types of places where we could count on registering almost everyone for an absentee ballot to kick Bush out of office. The black neighborhoods, and the trailer parks. Don't EVER believe that the poor people in this country aren't on our side. Just make sure that you're on theirs.
Anonymous,
How fuckin' stupid are you?
Anonymous, don't be stupid.

Watch the ABC video, pantywaist.
CNN just showed the Amero-terro hoax video
Anon, you need to join the reality based community. The weapons were there. It's on film. You can't spin the truth, dude. It'll kill you, just like the weapons that went missing will.
Workingwoman:
I use a hotmail account here for my email. Amazing, right after I came to the attention of the trolls, weird things happened via that account, spam galore--and more.
Yes, it can get scary.
"Unlike the Clinton torture years, we will attack the opposing Senators, Congressmen, Faux News..."
No doubt, GWB has roused a sleeping giant.
How strange to think that we may have him to thank for reviving the left wing of American politics.
It is probably not the legacy he was hoping for.
pie - the very first time I posted a comment here I was jumped by Walter. Bill Rehm and someone else came to my aid. The guys here are such gentlemen.
Anonymous; exactly what flavor was the Kool-aid?
The only explanation for Anonymous's post is that it got caught in Haloscan for two days and just showed up.
No troll's that stupid, right? Right?
Oh, fuck it, of course they are.
Sorry to bring this up again, but
one of the things that flummoxed me
was that there seemed to be two people
posting with the same name -- one
quite reasonable, and the other this drooling
sort of stalker.
I take it this is not unusual either,
right?
abc just played that 'terror' video. did anybody consider that halloween is this weekend and maybe got punked. that was the funniest thing i've seen in weeks.
oy.
Steve S:
Nope, that's not unusual, either. Name-stealers are part of the gig, too.

In a corporate context feelings of reponsibility usually pass quickly.

I saw that disaster as well, so you don't have to make any excuses for ranting. I would say around these parts that you never need to excuse yourself.

I was there when it happened!
Good times, good times...
But hell, if they won't go quietly, they can go screaming for all I care. Either way, they're going.
Philalethes
Yeah. Heh heh-"Don't go 'way mad...just go 'way!"
The pentagon keeps saying they have destroyed 400,000 tons of munitions. This is almost certainly a lie. The link at bottom is to a report from The Center For Public Integrity about weapons disposal contractor EOD. Short version: EOD was contracted to dispose of 100 tons a day, 6 days a week. There were/are three other contractors. It's not certain, but likely that each contractor has the same goal. OK, that's 400 tons a day x 6 days x 58 weeks (they began sept 11, 03)= 139,200 tons. That's if everything has gone right, and almost nothing has gone right. 139,200 is not 400,000 and the Pentagon ought not to be lying about that figure.
Here's the link:

New thread
that was the funniest thing i've seen in weeks.
How interesting that the dangerous *terrist* delivered his scary message in English so all the frightened 'Muricans could understand his awful threats.
Good grief. This is pathetic.
OMG.
My boss asked me today if I had "decided to change my mind yet" about voting for Kerry.
Bizarrely, he then launched into a screed about liberals (and me, specifically) being "close-minded."
I calmly told him that, while I have a pretty good imagination, I could not think of one thing within the realm of human possibilities that Bush could pull out of his ass that would erase the devestation he has wrought on our once-proud nation and our democracy.
He sighed, shook his head, and said "You liberals..."
Thanks for the moral support, guys.

Thank you all for a very enjoyable evening. How can I explain to any co-workers tomorrow how much fun I had here tonight and the elation and high level of interest I had in reading so many of your posts?
I will be leaving in a few minutes to enjoy what I think will be a KILLER Jon Stewart show.
Hopefully, the perfect end to a most perfect evening and I have a feeling its just going to get better and better and better.
I meant, there is a new thread,
comment from freeper two mins ago...
"Please stop fretting! Trust in God! I think most people have made up their minds and are seeing that John Kerry is grabbing at anything he can to try and hurt the President. They will see a desperate man. The polls have indicated as such. The media is doing this in an attempt that I think will fall on deaf ears. They know the MSM is corrupt, they know that the MSM is biased to Kerry, and quite frankly I think they are getting sick of it. The bottom line is we can't get down now, now is the time to stand strong and keep our heads up high...the Lord is with us!"
lol where your messiah now !!!!
The weapons were there. It's on film.
I'll wait for the IAEA to confirm. Meanwhile the DoD has produced a picture of two trucks at the facility. They said they knew the weapons were being trucked out of the facility and didn't give a shit.
What is this I keep reading about looters busting into some IKEA bunkers?
It's a big country (size of California, I hear).... somebody has to furnish explosives for it.
HAHAHAHAH FREEPERS ARE STARTING TO FREAK!!!!!!

Can we start calling the freepers, "freakers" now?

Steve -
I had one who absolutely terrified me. I thought the FBI would be at my door any moment. Seriously, I said something impulsive one night here (I was a pretty new commenter at the time, Atrios being my first blog) and this person was vicious.
Lots of people here came to my defense and that's probably why I've bonded so strongly with this place and the regular posters. I was beyond traumatized. I think now that I wouldn't get so upset again, but you never know. Actually there is one regular poster here who seems to delight in dogging me once in a while (well, okay, dave (lower case d). He's nasty, for some reason he likes to bully what he considers weak women I guess... But aside from him I've been feeling fairly safe lately.
But yeah, it's a creepy weird experience, for sure. Wish I'd have been here. I would've given that troll 'what for'!
*
Thanks for the moral support, guys.
But if I ever say I miss Adrian again
I want you to kill me.
Nah. Incredible as this is, worse ones can show up.
Some of the trolls have special places in my memories. Like DP... The troll boy who invited me over for a drink, thinking I was a guy, then turned into a puppy at my feet when he found out I was a girl. After that, all I had to do was show up in a thread, and he skeedaddled.
Ah, those were the days.
It's true, and that's what a lot of the news is about...leaving lots of room for an alternative narrative.
But, shit, if someone is giving a dramatic reading of Beowulf, having someone else screeching Jabberwocky in Urdu backwards is Not "an alternative narrative".
I'll wait for the IAEA to confirm.
Confirmation taking what form, since they confirmed it to the POTUS and Administration before the invastion?
Meanwhile the DoD has produced a picture of two trucks at the facility. They said they knew the weapons were being trucked out of the facility and didn't give a shit.
Date? Two reports prior to invasion of Baghdad confirm explosives were found, but troops not trained in explosives did not recognize them as such (would you?). Reports from after the invasion of Baghdad also confirm explosives were there.
Then they vanished. Condi Rice didn't know they were gone until about 6 weeks ago. Bush didn't know until about 2 weeks ago.
All of this information is available via Google, or on the threads on this blog.
When will moderate Republicans -- and there ARE some -- realize that Bush/Cheney, Frist, DeLay/Hastert, Scalia, Feith, Rumsfield, and Wolfowitz -- the fascists and pharisees -- are giving their party a bad name and leading the GOP into disaster? Even if one was to forgive the descent into an Orwellian nightmare -- and that's a huge "if" -- this administration has not even demonstrated basic competance or anything close to honesty.
If you want change in the leadership of your party, you're NOT going to get that if you re-elect Bush & Cheney. They will only seek to consolidate their power and punish those in their party that dare speak their mind and demonstrate dissent. You'd be asking for more of the same --and not just through 2008.
Moderate Republicans -- you know in your hearts and minds that Kerry cannot possibly be worse for this country -- certainly not as long as the country remains almost evenly split, which means he will have to pursue an middle of the road agenda -- and cannot possibly be worse than the current direction for the future of the Republican party, either.
Fascists and Pharisees. That is the leadership of your party at the moment. Think about that when you consider what you want the legacy of this country and your choices to be.
Knight Ridder has been a beacon of hope in the fog of Big Media.
If the issues of looting unsecured, unguarded weapons sites had been "pressed" by Big Media, if BushCo's multiple incompetencies had been follow up on, if the press/TV had done their jobs, Bush would never have dared to run for re-election.
Philalethes - it's mild these days compared to times in the past. There used to be some really ugly shit going on all the time.
Tena
Yeah, even I can remember it being worse! And they definitely like to pick on women, that's for sure...when they can spot 'em, that is.
I think I'm really lucky, in that they never actually make me angry. I look at it more like a shooting-gallery, or whack-a-mole. And some of 'em, like Pastabagel (who visited my blog for a few days and was actually pretty polite), seem more sad and lost than anything else.

The bottom line is we can't get down now, now is the time to stand strong and keep our heads up high...the Lord is with us!"
lol where your messiah now !!!!

What many are missing is according to their ongoing fundie mythology, Bush was annointed by God--his selection and stealing the election "god's will." Now, what does that say when Bush is sent packing? It's almost as if Bush doesn't get elected, there isn't a God.

Jenny, LJ, Tena, Phila, Kent et al;
I thank you again.
Just out of curiosity -- I've only
been doing this for a couple of
months. How long have you guys
been posting here?
How long has Atrios been doing this?
Thanks for the kind words! I love this place, and you guys are an inspiration.
To anon at 10:58 pm ~ just one small comment. Too bad Bush didn't wait for confirmation that there were no weapons in Iraq before he rushed to war and killed over 1,100 young Americans and 100,000 Iraqis. Now you all want patience. Fucking flip floppers.
I was finally introduced to Laura Ingraham this evening on Scarborough.
I am trying to figure out the point of
shows like that.
A show as negative and contrived serves
very little purpose except to spread
angst in a cruel fashion.
A twist of the knife at this late hour
in the election? Not only bad television but poor form.
When it all comes down to truths,
whenever that is, these people have
got to realize what history will
paint as their portrait. And it may
come far sooner than they may believe.
having someone else screeching Jabberwocky in Urdu backwards is Not "an alternative narrative".
Well, I was being polite. "Allowing FReepers to keep their heads up their asses" would've been more accurate, but Tena did the boys around here are gentlemen, after all.
Now its a menage a ingraham, scareborough, and luntz, full on Koolaid
Drinkers Ball.
"Dr" Laura's a menage a twat all by herself...or is that twit?
Nah, I saw the pix; it's twat.
Somebody better tell that fucking blowhard Sean Hannity. He was ranting about Kerry lying and that it has been "proven" the explosive material was gone before US troops showed up.
Steve -
For me, maybe only 6 months, or less (hard to believe). I was reading an Arianna Huffington piece one day on salon.com and she mentioned that Atrios was one of her favorite blogs.
I checked in that day and never checked out!

How long have you guys
been posting here?
Re: me, I'm not sure...it's lost in the Primatene mists of time. I'm sure one of my pet trolls could tell you!
Under a year, I think.
"Primatene mists of time"
Another line I have to steal.
Hey Ek:
I was just gonna say the same thing
about the Primatene mists of time.
Damn you!!!bb
For the trolls:
Like DP... The troll boy who invited me over for a drink, thinking I was a guy, then turned into a puppy at my feet when he found out I was a girl. After that, all I had to do was show up in a thread, and he skeedaddled.
Yeah, that was hysterical. But of course, all it really proved was that we are a flock of aimless sheep moving rigidly in synchronous lockstep through the dull pastures of all-too-unknowing ignorance.
Steve, I've had haloscan roundhouse target me, and a name stealing troll. Haloscan is an asshole. He's lost now, that Atrios revamped Haloscan. Ha ha.
To answer your question, I've been lurking here since early 2003. I always thought the people who posted here had intelligent and interesting things to say, and there were many threads that had me in stitches. Something kept drawing me here ~ links from bartcop or whatever. I was intimidated to post for the longest time ~ I wasn't exactly sure how it worked and didn't want to "trespass" on a good thing. I sure am glad I got over that! I think I started posting about six months ago. I still don't have the links thing down. My love affair with Eschaton in a nut shell.
Another line I have to steal.
EkCenTrik
Do it! You're not stealing from me anyway...IIRC, I read it in a book by Peter DeVries when I was a kid.
Maybe it's just me but all the trolls seem to split when I show up except the one "Anonymous" poster whose entire post seems like one long snarly growl which I think is funny so it never makes me mad. The other "Anonymous" is sweet.
Schilling was known to be a Bush supporter all along -- not much that you can do about that, and he's not going to help Bush carry Massachussets. It's still better than the Sox choking and having the talk shows giggle for two days with Sox Choking - Kerry gagging comparisons.
However, I WOULD like Schilling to explain in his introduction to Bush how he can be such a hero and inspiration when he plays for a team that isn't in "Real America".
Incognito -
You never seem to get mad. At circumstance, yes, but never at the commenters. I have always found that admirable.

To be honest, I can't keep up with who's who and all the different personalities like some can.
steve simels
Philalethes and several others here
tend to have some of the best lines.
You would never see quality like that
on the Freeper sites. My only concern
is they are going to start doing
copyrights and asking royalties. That
will be my undoing for they are assisting
me in being a much more interesting and
quotable person in the real world.
Hee. You can tell which ones of us are middle or left coasters. All the others are watching TDS and have left the premises...

Jenny from the Blog
Why, thank ya very much, Jenny from the Blog.
You're sweet.
You moonbats see the polls lately?
Jenny from the Blog
Not true, I am doing both.
But I do get confused a bit.
ANd I have been sanding crown
molding in between...
When will moderate Republicans -- and there ARE some -- realize that Bush/Cheney, Frist, DeLay/Hastert, Scalia, Feith, Rumsfield, and Wolfowitz -- the fascists and pharisees -- are giving their party a bad name...
Oh, they do, they do! They might not be singing it from the rooftops, but they're out there. Remember all those "Reagan Democrats"? This year will see a bumper crop of "Kerry Republicans".
Oops! One slipped through the cracks, um, I mean crown molding...

Vicki:
So you're an old timer, eh?
Just kidding.
I can't remember how I found the site--
could have been bartcop, I guess.
Bottom line is: I'm continually
amazed by how smart, funny and
terrific writers post here.
Especially since -- pace Dr. Johnson --
they're doing something writers should
never do -- write for free.
You just have to be careful not to bruise someone's ego, though. I don't know what it is about it on these blogs but especially with straight guys, they have terribly fragile egos. Me, it's all water off a duck's back. But I try not to hurt anyone's feelings.
You moonbats see the polls lately?
The reality-based ones, Gordo?
Yes. Hahahahahaha.
Maybe it's the same Anonymous with a Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde personality....
Doozer among Fraggles,
I made an early mistake confusing ingraham with Dr Laura, they ain't the
same dame, but agree w/the sentiment.
Kerry/Edwards In A LANDSLIDE!!!
simelis,
I have been lurking for nigh on a year.
joined the fray in late june or thereabouts.
Kerry/Edwards In A LANDSLIDE!!!
Kerry / Edwards... in a rest area.
What many are missing is according to their ongoing fundie mythology, Bush was annointed by God--his selection and stealing the election "god's will." Now, what does that say when Bush is sent packing? It's almost as if Bush doesn't get elected, there isn't a God.
Or that God is done scourging the country for its sins. I mean, has anyone read, for example, Isaiah? That God ordained a particular rule to rule over a country does not imply that God finds that ruler virtuous, or that that ruler will continue to rule forever.
finally, someone has posted the satphots.
for a long time i have insisted that the nro[not the national observer] had the record of all that occurred in iraq...that they had the proof that there were no wmd, no nuclear programs.
even aviation week and space tech was muscled so as not to air that photo data.
so, i had antagonists who questioned my assertions. i had nothing other than my background. i didn't know that colon powell had used nro satphots at the un.
so great to have them archived.
as to stalkers, they come from the left and the right.
when the gangster general augusto pinochet ugarte was captured in london, i put up some of my memories of chile on a site. i received lots of death threats. from the right wing of fascism, i surmised.
and there is also a left wing of fascism. i experienced it on another site. according to the webmaster, some guest blogger was allowed to ban me and to erase all the posts that i had ever made over a two year period.
what interested me, interests me, is that some number of those posts involved my knowledge of satphot observations of iraq and how their revelation would destroy the bush-cheney assertions.
and i was always more polite on that site than on this one. for instance, i never called anyone a congressc*nt[jane harman] there. i never responded there, as i have here, to dr pedant as dr pederast after he accused me of being a racist without any evidence.
concluding, i pray that the electorate pays attention and that the "fix" isn't in...george bush and the republican fascists must be thrown away. now. because if not now, it might never occur until after the global cataclysm that they will energize.
before i close, i wish that i could hear some pol lament the murders that this country, the united states of assassination, has inflicted on the populace of iraq. in previous posts, i put the figures at 500,000-1,000,000 children since 1991.
and i posted 30,000 -50,000 since bush invested amerikan thugs to murder iraqis last year.
reading tonite that the real number of iraqis murdered by amerikan thugs is closer to 100,000, i am speechless. a figure worse than this pessimist imagined.
dear lord, save the world from this country.
that is my all souls' day prayer. i ask that you make that prayer yours.
and DEFENESTRATE BUSH-CHENEY.
Kerry / Edwards... in a rest area.

Is that where you've been? Haven't seen you here in awhile. You must have been lurking at a rest area instead.
That the best you got Incogboring?

I'm just curious why a rest area holds such a facination with you. That's the only thing you've posted about for months. I apologize if I'm not as exciting as a rest area.
When will moderate Republicans -- and there ARE some -- realize that Bush/Cheney, Frist, DeLay/Hastert, Scalia, Feith, Rumsfield, and Wolfowitz -- the fascists and pharisees -- are giving their party a bad name and leading the GOP into disaster?
Almost certainly not until it is too late. They are "good Germans". The last four years have exposed a rather distressing character flaw of Republicans. They put their loyalty towards their party leadership above their loyalty to the country. If iron-clad evidence came to light tommorrow that George Bush and Osama bin Laden were in fact the same person, the vast vast majority of them would still vote for the bastard.
What many are missing is according to their ongoing fundie mythology, Bush was annointed by God--his selection and stealing the election "god's will." Now, what does that say when Bush is sent packing? It's almost as if Bush doesn't get elected, there isn't a God.
They'll more likely see it as a political Crucifiction, and eagerly await a Resurrection on Friday...
I made an early mistake confusing ingraham with Dr Laura, they ain't the

Jeez, ya mean there's two of 'em?!
Aaaaarrggghhh! Schlesinger!!! Dumbass.
Ah, hell, seen one wingnut Laura, seen 'em all.
Seen more of one of 'em than the other, though...
Gordon was just trying to figure out if he could fit "moon-bats" in his sentence... please give him a break.

Well, half the time when you write for money you end up writing for free anyway! But in my case...I tend to be on retainer, writing things that drive me batty. In the past, I could deal with it by writing stuff that was more entertaining or interesting to me. Unfortunately, in the last couple of years I've lost the emotional ability to do that - I'm way too tense and angry - so posting here is really a pressure-valve for me. Also, this format is off-the-cuff, and I've always had a tendency to overwrite and overedit. I'd like to think I'm getting less anal about that stuff...really, this is therapy for me and if anything I ought to be paying Atrios for his bandwidth!

My heart goes out to him--serously. It's alright, man. You're just gay like me. Don't let this majority heterosexist society make you think the way you do.
Incogboring???
Is that supposed to be funny, or to rhyme, or something???
Gordon, you are one in a million.
Will you cry on Nov. 3? I know I would, if I were you.
Just out of curiosity -- I've only
been doing this for a couple of
months. How long have you guys
been posting here?
I'd lurked for about two years, but I'm definitely under a year as a posting nut. I'm not sure how long. Since April maybe? Not sure...
I think Eschatonia has been here since April of 2002. Or that's what the archives tell us.
Unfortunately, in the last couple of years I've lost the emotional ability to do that - I'm way too tense and angry - so posting here is really a pressure-valve for me.
Gee, Phila, I used to call that writer's block.
Seriously, I took a sabbatical last month from all this political stuff and, lo and behold, my writing was a welcome refuge. I'm not published or anything. I write for fun.
Ever notice that, if you tell people you like to write, they always ask if you're published? I always counter with, "You like to ski. Win any slalom competitions lately?" Or something similar.
For some reason, people just assume that the ONLY reason anyone would want to write (or paint or act or be musical) is to make money at it, or that getting rich off it is the only thing that could justify doing something "arty." Bollocks on them. Some of us just like to do it for the sheer pleasure of it.
I'm not published or anything. I write for fun.
Everyone should do it for fun, because as I said above, being published does not equal getting paid! It's amazing how many books you can sell without making one thin dime...it makes the record industry seem downright saintly.
But you need to STFU for at least a month.

Just for the record, David Kay also said "Gamer, set, match" in response to Aaron Brown when he confirmed the video of al QaQaa. He also confirmed that the site was actually discovered in the early nineties by his own inspection unit and it was well known what was stored there, that this was monumental negligence and that it's a drop in the bucket compared to the enormous amounts of additional weapons and munitions that have fallen into the hands of insurgents because the sites weren't guarded after the invasion.

Oh, honey, tell me about it. Once upon a time, I had some fingers in the biz. Heard ALL of the horror stories. Even the Clancys and Koontzes get seriously screwed on a regular basis.
Here it is, the Saturday Night Live skit for this weekend--certainly would be great as the show opener:
A halloween-costumed, American-speaking, scarf-wrapped terrorist, outlined by realistic, but detectably phony arabic writing,is speaking into a video camera. Oh, but as the "terrorist" speaks all kinds of nonsense about beheadings, stolen explosives and Bill Maher, we gradually start to recognize some of his pharasing. "Hard work," egggs-aaj-jer-ation," perhaps even a blast from the past--"strateegery" soon make it clear to us that we know exactly who this DESPERATE terrorist is, and when he struggles to pronounce Abu Graib,well, game, set, match. Does he rip off his garb before yelling "Live from New York, it's Saturday Night," or staying in character, does he hiss it through his colorful scarf(or whatever you call it)? Tune in and find out.
What do ya'll think?
I am patting myself on the back like a mofo, I must say. Somebody pass this along to the SNL writers.
I only pray they are thinking along these lines.
GOTV!
My friend and I made a little video with some footage courtesy of your site, so I thought I'd post it here in case anyone cared. I know it's a little rough, but I think the ending is neat, at least.

Comments appreciated.
This story is so awful... I just don't understand how the media (and even some writers here) can see it as just politics. It's not about politics, it's about criminal neglicence. This war should lead to impeachments and criminal convictions and not because of some far left political agenda, but because of American patriotism: they have totally failed to defend our country and make it stronger. This war was not connected to 9/11 or WMDs but that's not all: it has been waged in such an incompetent way that I can't even understand how it's possible. Why aren't the news full of outrage??? We are having a real war waged against us by extrem Islam and we have a president that is making our enemies stronger at every step. Why is this nightmare happening? Please, please, please, let Kerry win on Tuesday...
I hope somebody has commented on this, but according to the news story (The State paper here in SC; probably an AP wire story) I read this morning, we've now got David Kay looking at the video and saying "yup, that's Al QaQaa, and yup, those are intact IAEA seals". But Kay didn't frind any of those WMD so I guess he's just a shill for Kerry or some such. After all, who should we believe - a guy who actually was in-country, or someone whose only contact with Iraqi soil was a 30 minute photo-op a year ago at the Baghdad airport?
BTW - "Rudy Mussolini" - that's great!
10/29/04 Al QaQaa Update, 7:23 am:
-- NPR just mentioned the KSTP video and did a full story on them!
-- The KSTP video made the front page -- even a bit above the fold -- of the dead-tree edition of the NYT.
-- NPR reports that Cheney was reduced to accusing Kerry of not supporting the troops! (Translation: We've been caught red-handed.)
The KSTP tapes show a box with a source code. I believe I've traced it back to a .mil website. Apparently, the ordinance now presumedly in the hands of insurgents might have originated in the U.S.
DoD's CYA = BS:
a comparison of features in the DoD-released imagery with available commercial satellite imagery, combined with the use of an IAEA map showing the location of bunkers used to store the HMX explosives, reveals that the trucks pictured on the DoD image are not at any of the nine bunkers indentified by the IAEA as containing the missing explosive stockpiles.
Dammit, elkal, ya beat me to it.
Reminder: Col John Peabody DID identify the substance as explosives via chemical tests, reported to AP April 3, FOX April 4, Gulf News April 5...
Schilling was known to be a Bush supporter all along...
What he said last night was that he was a McCain supporter, which made him a Bush supporter by default.. Um, OK Curt, can't argue with that logic..But anybody that collects as much history geek shit as you do might wanna re-think supporting a man who has continually tried to smear decorated veterans.. And that includes your boy McCain..

The storys not over ...Most of the sh%$% you saw on the abc tape was still there in march....Its not the crap, Kerrys is blowing over....Its a close cousin of amonia nitrate...A low level explosive used in construction....you need to talk to the soldiers that where there...just because you see it on the msm doesn,t make it true.....You also don't pack the good stuff in cardboard boxes....plastic explosives look like playdo...packed in bricks and marked accordingly. What you saw in the ABC tape must be combined with a binder agent then packed and set off...The bad guys in Iraq use very little plastic or cemtex, instead they use shells that where hidden throughout Irag......no amount of troops could have secured it all.
no amount of troops could have secured it all.
Sadly, we will never know if this statement is true or false, since George W. Bush and his handlers refused to send enough troops anyway.
They had the same problem with 9/11, and we have many of the same complaints: Could something have been done to fix it? We don't know, but they didn't even try.
