Bush addresses the nation on the economy and the stock market tanks. Irony

[CostaMesa]

The media is simply a bunch of lazy parrots that repeat whatever they’re taught to say. The people doing the teaching are typically those with enough dough to be able to pay someone to teach the talking heads to say what the rich guy wants them to say. That’s quite a bit like the guy who pays people to stand in front of Home Depot with petitions titled ‘save our schools’ or ‘make taxes more fair’. There’s always someone behind the scenes trying to manipulate the masses through whatever means that are necessary to achieve a desired goal.

It usually isn’t hard to see through the BS and recognize that the wizard is just behind the curtain.

What was the last legitimate news story that was reported by the news that wasn’t based on either a press release or a police report? Seriously! Don’t give them too much power – the real problem is the sheeple that are too fat/dumb/happy to think for themselves, question what they’re being told and then reach out their arm and pull the curtain back.

Short note to let you know that I enjoy your posts and insights. I think that they are generally on the mark. But here is a question? How would things have unfolded with a democrat at the reigns?

If Republicans have been so bad, why is it the the Democrats can’t run someone that can present a message as to why their party would be better for the American Public?

These questions are not slanted they are simply rhetorical.

Because progressive liberals are more intellectually honest and they aren’t as good at maligning the other side as unpatriotic and weak (on crime, immigrants, terrorists).

Why do families go back to the church were their children were molested? Why do poor whites in Red States vote to lower the capital gains tax (if they even know what that is)?

——-

Al Gore would not have gone to war in Iraq. Thousand of Americans and hundred of thousand of Iraqi would be alive today.

America would have higher mileage cars and Ford would not be near bankruptcy.

We would have an alternative energy industry that would provide some good paying jobs and exports for America.

We would still have the surplus carried over from the Clinton years, no war debt and we wouldn’t have to borrow from the Chinese or the Saudis.

Just a few important things.

“Al Gore would not have gone to war in Iraq. Thousand of Americans and hundred of thousand of Iraqi would be alive today. ”

probably true.

“America would have higher mileage cars and Ford would not be near bankruptcy. ”

probably not true. rep controlled congress at the time, dem take over unlikely if gore were pres.

“We would have an alternative energy industry that would provide some good paying jobs and exports for America. ”

ditto

“We would still have the surplus carried over from the Clinton years, no war debt and we wouldn’t have to borrow from the Chinese or the Saudis. ”

possible, but the dot bomb, was putting a squeeze on the economy at the time…

bottom line, however, when asked “what/who are the alternatives”, i think we’re seeing that *anyone* would have been better than bush. even the corvair guy, what’s his name…

edit: there’s a john stewart bit regarding cape wind and fat kennedy… nimby politics on off shore wind power…

Cyphire your question does not make sense there is no connection between how bad the Bush administation is and the Dems lack of ability to succesfully market a president to the ameican people.

That’s like saying because McDonalds sells the most food in the world therefor it is the best….

Clinton, Al Gore… I am no fan of G. Bush but the sycophantic attitude some people here have of those two.. well… Baaaaa Baaaaa! Political bigotry abounds here and as bigotry supposedly is largely based upon ignorance – connect the dots.

Any individual that is politically polarized is not, imho, intelligent much less any type of free-thinker.

fourplexowner made a comment how he associates a movie with current events.

The movie I associate with this thread is the movie “Being There”.
