Yeah, Dumbya made Obama possible, but not for the reasons that the NRO asserts.

Wow! This article was written by a professional "spinner"...Karl Rove maybe? Suggesting that we feel "safe" because of the incompetent nitwits in the White House is an INSULT!

We feel bankrupt, lied and misled. We are PRAYING for the election of someone with a BRAIN AND CONSCIENCE who won''t sell us down the river like those crooks did. I STILL SAY TRY BUSH AND CHENEY FOR WAR CRIMES! They DID make Obama possible, and that''s the ONLY thing they did right.

Whenever I read NRO, I get further insight into the mind of the extreme right. It is always fascinating to see how information can be skewed into the worldview one chooses to believe.

I have hoped for years now that the only good that could potentially come out of our journey through Hell is that people would see the problem of Republican thinking.

Unfortunately, too many would choose to believe that the problem is Bush. That is clearly false. The problem is the Republican worldview.

Even worse, we see only what we choose to see and interpret it the way we want to believe. That''s why we will always have an NRO.

The author is only right in one sense... bush did make Obama possible, but absolutly not in the way depectied by the delusional author, Nixon''s disgrace gave us Carter, Bush I read my lips then increse taxes gave us Clinton and Bush II''s absolute incompetence in Iraq, trashing the constitution, criminal abuse of executive power etc... will give us Oboma, it''s this nation''s natural reaction to the lunatic fringe of the right, a group which bush panders and plays to and is a a card carrying member of.

Osama Bin Ladin said his goal was to bankrupt America. Thanks to George Bush, Osama has almost reached his goal.

Soon, GOP, your embarrassment will end and you can pull up your pants from down round yer ankles and go off and hide in shame and you will no longer be naked for all to see.

But we WILL remember!

Obama 08!

Total Garbage is an understatement describing this story and the author. Bush/Rove Propaganda at it''s usual. FEAR ! Terrorists are under your bed!
The last 8 years have done nothing but inflame hatred of the USA under Bush.

Glenncinca thinks that "Mr. Swirsky is absolutely correct when he describes our current complacency as a function of Dubya''s success in keeping the terrorists 100% at bay."

Did you FORGET about 9/11, Glenncinca? Who was in charge on that day? Who FAILED to protect this country from terrorism? Who was WARNED by the CIA, "Bin Laden determined to attack USA," and who was it that continued his merry vacation, doing NOTHING to protect us?

The repugs have FAILED at EVERYTHING, except to stir up fear. They thrive on fear. It''s the only game they know.

Now they want us to be afraid to vote for a democrat because the boogey man might come and get us if there isn''t an "all-powerful repuglican" running the show!

Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

Drink the repug Kool Aid, children, and live your miserable lives in fear... daddy will "keep you safe" if you give him all your money, your jobs, your health, your country, your lives.

w''s actions have been the answer to al qaeda recruiter''s wetdreams. Effectively it''s w''s face on their posters that''s responsible for more terrorists than ever are in the world.

Ol'' seth is one hallucinating POS.
