This article brought to you by the Ouija Keyboard Generals. Why waste energy while you type by turning on your monitor, when you can bet somebody else will read it for you?

Oh I defintely agree Obama will be elected because of Bush but certainly not for the ridiculous reasons listed in this propaganda piece.

OBama, like Carter will be elected as the country reels from 8 years of lies and deception. At this point Mickey Mouse could run against the Rethuglicans and win big.

After all, most people draw the line when you murder almost a million people in the name of oil and military industrial profits.

Bush is a terrorist. He has taken civil liberities away from Americans thru ''homeland security.'' Bush is a complete failure. The economy is in ruins. It is Bush''s failure that will make Obama the next president. Bush was appointed president by the Supreme Court. Obama will be elected by the people.

I think you have it backwards. People realize that they''re not safe with a knucklehead no matter the party. the republican brand has been degraded on this issue and McCain will feel it in November. McCain is anohter dim bulb and his comment about our occupation iof Iraq being like Germany or N.Korea shows that he is willing to go on borrowing from China to occupy foriegn countries to protect corportate interests that cannot be called American in any sense.

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. And it is difficult to argue that this comfort level permits us to be wooed by liberal agendas with their siren songs and sumptuous sayings. If we were currently fearing for our very lives, with terrorists running amok in our streets and our airports, something that Dubya has been ABSOLUTELY AND UNARGUABLY 100% SUCCESSFUL in preventing, we would indeed be searching for a strong and capable leader to save us, instead of enamored of some golden tongued self appointed pseudo messiah spouting hollow platitudes of "hope" and "change".

After re-reading this story (fantasy) I''m compelled to again question veracity of the person who wrote it.

You must be seriously affected by some kind of obsessive bush-love thing, where you close your eyes to real reality and simply follow along like a sheeple.

The bush/cheney/saudia crime syndicate are responsible for the 911 attacks to scare us into war for the profits thereof and to take away our freedoms thus enabling their version of 1984.

Please refrain from any more of this kind of dishonest propaganda enabling the murder of nearly a million people and counting.

People in America feel safe, and President Bush - thanks to his advocacy of tough FISA laws, winning in Iraq, taking on the Taliban in Afghanistan, etc. - deserves the credit. Therefore, Bush also deserves the credit for making the Obama candidacy palatable.

***********************************************


LMAO. This has got to be satirical. There is no way someone could believe such tripe...seriously!!!
Well, you are right about one thing, Mr. Swirsky, GWB made it possible alright.
He has single handedly destroyed the Republican party, their credibility, and their brand. He will go down in history as the worst president that we have ever had. He is a TOTAL failure and Republicans supported him in that failure and hurt their country in the name of their party.

This latest failure to ease tensions with another superpower who has the power to destroy the United States in a MAD scenario is the latest failure of George Bush.

And you say in this article that "Bush has made Americans safe"?

I haven''t had a good night sleep since George Bush took office and especially after 9/11. And now with this crisis with Russia, I''m planning on leaving the country!!! That''s how unsafe I feel about George Bush running this country and he only has a few months left!!!!

Maybe a bunch of stupid Republicans like you in this article have "gotten over" 911 but I WILL NEVER EVER EVER EVER FOREVER NEVER FORGIVE GEORGE BUSH FOR 9/11!!!!

NEVER.

AND I WILL NEVER EVER FORGET ON WHO''S WATCH IT WAS WHEN 9/11 HAPPENED!!!!

NEVER. I''M NOT THAT STUPID.

"People in America feel safe, and President Bush - thanks to his advocacy of tough FISA laws, winning in Iraq, taking on the Taliban in Afghanistan, etc. - deserves the credit."
By Seth Swirsky

What kind of drugs are you taking?

Bush is an outright criminal who''s murdered, raped, lied, and plundered, not only America and our freedoms, but killed nearly a million people with his 962 public lies (wmd, wmd, the sky is falling) to facilitate the largest transfer of wealth the world has ever known.

Do they pay you for this kind of garbage propaganda?
