Something to think about these Terror Alerts.

Another sneaky plan from Bush:

Watch out guys. He tried to pull this a few weeks ago. He stole the first election, now he wants to delay the next, because he knows that’s the only way he can stay in office, and wreak havoc. I saw a great sticker yesterday that read “Four More Wars”. Good stuff.



Officials discuss how to delay Election Day
Talks stem from recent fears of terror attack timed to vote
Monday, July 12, 2004 Posted: 7:35 PM EDT (2335 GMT)


Sen. John Kerry, with running mate Sen. John Edwards, and President Bush are surrounded by supporters on the campaign trail.



WASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S. officials have discussed the idea of postponing Election Day in the event of a terrorist attack on or about that day, a Homeland Security Department spokesman said Sunday.
The department has referred questions about the matter to the Department of Justice's Office of Legal Counsel, said a spokesman, confirming a report in this week's editions of Newsweek magazine.
Bush's national security adviser Condoleezza Rice tried to put an end to the controversy Monday evening.
"We've had elections in this country when we were at war, even when we were in civil war, and we should have the elections on time. That's the view of the president. That's the view of the administration," she said. "No one is thinking of postponing the elections."
Newsweek said the discussions about whether the November 2 election could be postponed started with a recent letter to Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge from DeForest Soaries Jr., chairman of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission.
The commission was set up after the disputed 2000 presidential vote to help states deal with logistical problems in their elections.
Soaries, who was appointed by President Bush, is a former New Jersey secretary of state and senior pastor of the 7,000-member First Baptist Church of Lincoln Gardens in Somerset.
Newsweek reported that Soaries expressed concern that no federal agency had the authority to postpone an election and asked Ridge to ask Congress to give his commission such power.
Ridge warned Thursday that al Qaeda terrorists were planning a large-scale attack on the United States "in an effort to disrupt the democratic process." (Full story)
Ridge said he had no specific or credible information about threats to the political conventions. The four-day Democratic convention kicks off July 26 in Boston, Massachusetts, and the Republican National Convention begins August 30 in New York City.
Ridge also said the nation's color-coded terrorist threat level would remain at yellow, or elevated.
Democratic Rep. Jane Harman of California, ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, said Sunday that she believes planning for the possibility of postponing Election Day is "excessive, based on what we know."
"Six days ago, the leadership of the House and Senate intelligence committees and leadership of the House and Senate were briefed on these so-called new threats," Harman said on CNN's "Late Edition."
"They are more chatter about old threats, which were the subject of a press conference by Attorney General [John] Ashcroft and [FBI] Director [Robert] Mueller six weeks ago.
"[Ridge] sounded more like an interior decorator talking about what more we can do under the shade of yellow," she said.
The news that such discussions have taken place raised other eyebrows on Capitol Hill as well.
"I don't think there's an argument that can be made, for the first time in our history, to delay an election," said Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, a member of the intelligence committee.
"We hold elections in the middle of war, in the middle of earthquakes, in the middle of whatever it takes. The election is a statutory election. It should go ahead, on schedule, and we should not change it."
But the Republican chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, Rep. Christopher Cox of California, said on "Late Edition" that he sees Ridge's request as part of a prudent effort to plan for "doomsday scenarios."
"We don't have any intelligence to suggest that it is going to happen, but we're preparing for all of these contingencies now," Cox said.
Noting that New York election officials were able to postpone their September 11, 2001, primary election after terrorists slammed hijacked planes into the World Trade Center, Cox said "there isn't any body that has that authority to do that for federal elections."
"So what Secretary Ridge has asked the Justice Department to do is, 'Give me a legal memo, tell me what will be necessary. Do we need to go to Congress and get legislation?' "
What has Homeland Security officials worried is that terrorists could attempt to disrupt the election in the same way that train bombings in Madrid created unrest three days before the Spanish general election, the Homeland Security spokesman said.
Although there is no evidence that the bombings influenced the March 11 vote, socialist Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero unseated Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar, whose center-right government supported the U.S.-led war in Iraq.
The country's new government then pulled Spanish troops from Iraq.

They should just make the election earlier instead of later...

Bush misspeaks during signing ceremony
McClellan: 'This president speaks with clarity and conviction'
Thursday, August 5, 2004 Posted: 2:19 PM EDT (1819 GMT)



President Bush makes remarks Thursday at a signing ceremony for the Department of Defense's 2005 Appropriations Act.


WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush offered up a new entry for his catalog of "Bushisms" on Thursday, declaring that his administration will "never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people."

Bush misspoke as he delivered a speech at the signing ceremony for a $417 billion defense spending bill.

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we," Bush said.

"They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."

No one in Bush's audience of military brass or Pentagon chiefs reacted.

The president was working his way toward a larger point. "We must never stop thinking about how best to defend our country. We must always be forward-thinking," he said.

White House spokesman Scott McClellan said Bush's misstatement "just shows even the most straightforward and plain-spoken people misspeak."

"But the American people know this president speaks with clarity and conviction, and the terrorists know by his actions he means it," McClellan said.



OK, poobles. You know you my homegirl, so you can speak yo mind anytime. Maybe I'm out of the loop on the positive aspects of the Bush administration. Let's see I did like the $300 I got back when he first got into office, and ummm...

nope that's it.


oh, and Saddam was a fuckhead.

So he's human..OH SHIT!!! Let's all knock him for making a mistake in a speech..I'm sorry, but I like to know that my President isn't untouchable..He's a real person..As far as the war, you're glad Saddam is gone, correct? He has ALWAYS been a threat to the US..What would you have done after some disgusting terrorists killed so many of our people? Should we have just sat back and done nothing? No..We went to war in Afghanistan and broke up the Taliban..He had intelligence saying that Saddam had WMD..Should we have been passive and asked him to hand things over? Yes..We did..And he refused to let us search..So we got him..We didn't find WMD, but given a little time, he would have had some..I'm glad the threat from him is gone..As far as killing millions of people? Are you kidding me? By going to war? Having our MILITARY fight to protect us? Have you seen the number of people that were killed in one fucking day at the World Trade Centers?? What should we have done? Liberal bullshitters wouldnt' have gone to war..Thank goodness we have a President who's strong and not some sissy like Kerry..God forbid if anything were to happen on American soil if he should become President..

Did you also realize how much shit Bush has had to try to clean up from the Clinton administration? The economy, for one, was in the shitter thanks to Clinton..I think people need to look at the situation Bush had to come into..I think he's done a great job..Don't get me wrong, he's fucked up at times, but I stand behind him 100%..

And I'm done..Liberals, have your way with me and my statements..I'll see you at the voting booths..
:P

Well said Poobs... Erm can i get a clapping smiley..

Damn poobs, I knew you were going to say that.


You didn't know that Bush planned that whole WTC incident to support his master plan?

There would've been a lot more dead, if the important people hadn't been warned ahead of time. Instead he allowed firefighters, and few other unknowns as "collateral damage". I know it sounds far fetched, but does it?

I know I'm gonna get so much shit for saying that, and I have before, but that's what people like Michael Moore want to get at without saying it, because it's unimaginable, but seriously on any given day there should've been up to 50,000 people in the WTC. OK, I said it, and I'll never say it again. I still love ya pooby, and this is just my opinion.



Now, I must pack up, and change locations quickly before they find me.

When Bush got in the US had the biggest surplus in history, now the US has the biggest deficit in history...

yeah that's what I meant to say.

Dick Cheney really really creeps me out.

most definitely cap. he has to be the most unseen vice-president in history, because he knows he's a dick. Oh hence his name. :D

Sometimes the subconscious takes over whether we like it or not. It's happen to me many a times before when I'm talking to women, and slip, and say something suggestive. I guess same goes for diabolical "evil doers" too.

By the spring/summer of '01, the job marked completely tanked. And it hasn't picked up at all since then!!

Wholly shit!! I just remembered I got laid off in August of 2001, because our company was moving a lot of manufacturing out of the country. One month before all hell broke loose. Luckily, I had a friend offer me a position. Now I have to reexamine that whole scenario.

Yea man, it was all sooo bad out there. Summer of 2001 was pretty bad... but then 9/11 happened and it got worse!

I was pretty much knocked out of a job for about a year, before I picked up a bunch of nonsense temp / data entry crap. Basically, forced me back into school. I guess that's one good thing that came out of Bush's presidency.
