Deny, deny, deny
It appears that the Republicans’ policy these days is simply “deny, deny, deny”. I cannot understand how anyone continues to support this administration in light of all of the disasters they have caused, all the lies that they have told, all the continued “flip-flops”, and how dangerous they have made this world. But, I guess they believe that none of these things are true and they are all part of a conspiracy by the “liberal media” or something!
I’m not sure how they can refuse to believe stories that are repeated around the world based on facts, but they will believe any lie based on nothing that is easily refuted as long as one of “their own” has said it! The incompetence and lies continue to grow. Just this week:
1) We discover that 380 tons of explosives have gone missing in Iraq under our watch. Bush refuses to even comment on it, but his people are scrambling to come up with some excuse. I haven’t heard anything plausible yet, though.
2) Bush is now backtracking (“flip-flopping”?) and saying that he does NOT oppose civil unions for gays – despite the fact that he has repeatedly said that he does oppose them throughout his campaign.
3) Bush has asked for MORE money for Iraq – another $60-75 BILLION dollars! I can’t imagine what has happened to the huge surplus he inherited when he took office!
4) Republicans are putting together groups to “challenge” minority voters. This on top of the Republicans groups that have been tearing up Democratic voters’ registrations and requesting absentee ballots in larger numbers than the number of voters in an area!
5) From MSNBC news: The CIA is keeping the lid on a hard-hitting report about agency officials who might be held accountable for 9/11 intel failures. The report identifies a host of current and former officials who could be candidates for possible disciplinary procedures imposed by a special CIA Accountability Board. The inspector general's report—which, sources say, is more pointed than the 9/11 panel's report—is not the only critical intelligence report that won't be seen by the public until after Election Day. Two Senate intelligence committee investigations—into whether the White House misused prewar intelligence about Iraq and whether a special Pentagon unit manipulated intel about Iraq-Al Qaeda links—won't be finished until the end of the year at the earliest, say committee sources.
Big surprise! All of this is being suppressed until AFTER Nov 2!
You would think that ANYONE seeing the number of reports of mistakes and lies would think that, even if they don't believe everything, with this much smoke, there must be a fire somewhere! I guess ignorance truly is bliss!
