They're saying the exact same thing though. They just use carefully chosen words to make it sound better but the meaning is the same. Unfortunately there were enough gullible sheep out there that beleived the bullshit to get Bush re-elected.
Exactly!! America is supposed to be about freedom, right? Free to have your own opinion and voice your opinion . Thats fine as long as it isn't anti-Bush. If it is you are anti-American. If that isn't hypocrisy I don't know what is.
What Bush and the Republicans are doing is pretty similar to what the Nazi's did. No, I'm not talking about the genocide bit. But they have used fear and hatred to further their own agenda. Not to mention the invasion of other countries.
After 9/11 most Americans were terrified it could happen again and hated those responsible. Bush took full advantage of that to not only launch an invasion of another country but to get himself re-elected. How many times during the campaign did the issue of who would be better to protect America from terrorists come up. Unbelievabley nobody understood that Bush had really just stirred up a hornets nest and given terrorists even more reason to launch another attack. Think about it, does anyone believe Bush would have been re-elected had 9/11 never happened. Other than being the "hero" of 9/11 what else has he done for this country????
