I think a . would have been the approprate content of the post then, not an insult.

Maybe - but IMO the whining in this thread isn't worth my time and I expressed that. Sue me.

Manipulate the News ? No not the Bush Administration.

Not like the PAID PROTESTERS that they brought in to disrupt the attempted vote count in Florida.
what were there, like some 300 that they flew in from other states to be shown on TV raising hell.

Or not like the core of Chabaldi supopoeters that they conveniently placed in the coutyard in Baghdad
to be photographed when the stature of Saddam was toppled by a tank for the world to witness.
(Same group that was photographed coming off a U.S. Military airlift plane that morning or the
day before - seems like someone snapped their picture, and recognized some of them with the statue)

What part of the Bush Administration being manipulative, decietful, and serial liars don't you understand ?

vote recount? i think you mean vote manipulation

The medicare commercials that said "Oh, so its the same, only more?" "YES" is just about the worst ad campaign ever. Way to illegally run a political ad with taxpayers money.

why is it the worst ad campaign ever and they dont even mention that it was passed by a republican majority or has the support of the president so i dont really see how its political, not to mention illegal

Because its what Bush is going to cling to come the election. IMO all the medicare bill does is further help drug companies, making it illegal for the U.S. government to negotiate lower prices on prescription drugs, while making it illegal for the safe importation of the same drugs from Canada for far far cheaper. Its a propoganda campaign; make it so overly general and glossy that maybe people will buy into it without looking at the facts.

It is a political ad for Bush paid for by taxpayer dollars, thus illegal. Straight propoganda.

the reason drugs arent imported is because the government would lose control as far as the safety of these drugs, but even if bush allowed this im sure you'd just cry how he is outsourcing jobs or something. and when there are changes to medicare its the governments responsibility to let the people know. these ads are not illegal in any way.

JosephII:

All the imported drugs are produced by U.S. or EU controlled labs/manufacturing facilities. Since the drugs must meet U.S. FDA and European standards they are safe. This canard is sheer stupidity and I can't believe you would post such nonsense.

Haha, I was watching the daily show with my best friend, who happens to be most conservative Bush praising person I know (we swear not to bring up our politics around each other)... and he sheeplishly admitted that what the administration did was flat out dishonest.

Threatening to fire a guy if he told the truth? Using actors to fabricate a news report, and to shamelessly try to pass it as one? A new low... even for BushCo.

A little bump for this thread, it's a testament to how sleazy this administration can get.
