Don’t you ever get sick of untruths?

No. They’re my main source of fiber.

It does no good to reason with Travis and Doug. They’ve imbibed Rove’s magic Kool-Aid for too long.

The claim that this administration has made America safer (coming from the collective wisdom of two law school students) is patently false; the National Intelligence Estimate presented to the Senate Intelligence Committee attributes an increased risk in terrorism to the Iraq war. Oh, it also runs contrary to the conventional wisdom of MI5 (http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/europe/11/10/britain.terror/index.html). But you know, Travis and Doug are entitled to “the math” (or “the truth” for that matter).

I mean really, there is no moral high ground with Doug and Travis. Somewhere along the line they weren’t taught that two wrongs don’t make a right. Descending to the level of your enemies is not a good thing. Mormons of all people should get this especially after the Nephites were rebuked for doing that sort of thing. Instead we’re presented some canned interrogation demo as proof that this is WJWD. And they ignore the fact that torture has never been shown to be effective. They have also ignored the fact that the most effective intelligence gathering technique involves winning the hearts and minds of the people (truly WJWD). Believe me, now that Al Qaeda knows that we torture, they will find a way around it. Ever thought of decoy cells? Dan was right again, we would never know if the intelligence is credible.

Dan was also right about Bush. He has clearly misled the American public. That’s why we turned around and spanked the “gop” (little grand old party) Nov. 7. What do we get in return as a demonstration of the administration’s incompetence and arrogance? We get Rumsfeld flipping us the bird (see the Crooks and Liars blog). Clearly, Molly Ivins put it quite well before the election when she said, (notice, unlike Coulter who would just steal the quote, I am giving credit to a thoughtful, well-spoken individual)
“May I remind you what this election is about? Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo, unprecedented presidential powers, unmatched incompetence, unparalleled corruption, unwarranted eavesdropping, Katrina, Enron, Halliburton, global warming, Cheney’s secret energy task force, record oil company profits, $3 gasoline, FEMA, the Supreme Court, Diebold, Florida in 2000, Ohio in 2004, Terri Schiavo, stem cell research, golden parachutes, shrunken pensions, unavailable and expensive health care, habeas corpus, no weapons of mass destruction, sacrificed soldiers and Iraqi civilians, wasted billions, Taliban resurgence, expiration of the assault weapons ban, North Korea, Iran, intelligent design, swift boat hit squads, and on and on.
This election is about that, but much more — it’s about honor, dignity and comity in this country. It’s about the Constitution, which gives us this great nation.
Bush ran on a pledge of “restoring honor and integrity” to the White House. Instead, he brought us Tom DeLay, Roy Blunt, Katherine Harris, John Doolittle, Jerry Lewis, Richard Pombo, Mark Foley, Dennis Hastert, David Safavian, Jack Abramoff, Ralph Reed, Karl Rove and an illegal and immoral war in Iraq. People, it’s up to you.”
Thank heaven’s we’ve sent those crooks on K street packing. Some are even going to rely on evil socialist programs (see Crooks and Liars blog). Thank heaven’s the American public isn’t as far gone as Travis and Doug. By the way, keep up the silly arguments guys; give us the White House in ’08 too.

Bush has only increased and kept alive the non-existent terrorist threat.

We need to stop waterboarding terrorists and instead give them access to the top-secret intelligence that we have gathered.

Only then, under the leadership of the Democrats, will these innocent terrorists lay down their tools of non-violence and decide to not attack America anymore, which they haven’t done since 9/11 because they love Bush.

How can this not make sense to you? Are you dense?
