Why do people continue to support Bush & DICK Cheney with each change of story and attempt to distract?

Question

Now we have them attacking the New York Times for stating the obvious.... we're looking at financial records of terrorists.

For clarification, remember, George himself acknowledged the program back as early as 9/24/01. Should we prosecute HIM???????

Answer 1

Do you remember seeing pictures of Osama Bin Laden talking on a cell phone? Because of idiots like the editors at the New York times releasing stories telling of how the U.S. almost had him by locating the cel and calling a strike on the location he no longer uses them. He no longer takes videos out doors, for fear of showing his location. It may seem obvious, but they didn't think of it. And if it is so obvious why does the Times have to report it? Why HELP THE ENEMY in ANY way? I can not understand why the U.S. press can not report any of the good being done over there but insist on reporting anything declared top-secret? Who's side are they on? Who are they to decide if this information should not be top-secret? They are setting a very dangerous precedent.

Answer 2

I believe some people, conservatives mostly, feel that if they don't acknowledge issues, they will simply go away. They use the same distraction techniques. You ask them about Iraq (the lack of WMD's and other key issues), they go with the "Well, Saddam was bad and should have been caught anyway" story. I think the staunch Bush supporters don't really care what he and Cheney do. Speaking from personal experience and actual conversations, the conservatives I have spoken with don't really care about the untruths told by Bush and Cheney. It's more of a "well, we won the election and there's nothing you can do about it you unpatriotic how-dare-you-question-the-President, you sleazeball liberal." I don't think they really care what this Administration does to be honest, I've gotten excuses from "Well, he thought he was doing the right thing" to "It's Clinton's fault." Or a distraction move like "You want to kill babies, attend gay weddings and let everyone live on welfare." It's politics. Some people will never admit they are wrong because they have convinced themselves to believe their own lies.

Answer 3

You know that's not the case. The New York Times published details about the program that will severely limit the program's effectiveness.

This is not the same as simply stating that the program exists, and I don't see how you can call it a "change of story and attempt to distract". Who's changing the story, and who's attempting to distract whom? And from what? Doesn't make sense.

Answer 4

People continue to support Bush and Cheney on the belief it will still somehow get better and it's getting worse. Granted we are fighting wars on two fronts using alot of tax payers dollars, but the main focus for Bush and Cheney should be what happening at home. And apparently they don't care. And when Bush leave office he will be far wealthier than when he entered the white-house. One one thing to add, why is the bible belt (the southern parts of the US) still voting for candidates who don't hold there best interest at heart. Only winning the presidency and redirecting there focus on other issues.

Answer 5

Give me an example of what you are talking about. What change of story or attempt to distract?
The administration is attacking the New York times for exposing a completely legal, SECRET anti terrorism program.

Answer 6

Can you name any politician (except perhaps two or three) who do not change their story with the passing seasons. They are all the same so don't preach that Bush and Cheney are the only liars. If you want to impeach them then go after the entire Senate and House. They are all liars. It is politics!

Answer 7

Ignorance is bliss unfortunately, and many Americans would rather only listen to Rush Limbaugh, watch Fox News, and believe that every single thing their Evangalist says is true.

I think that hits the final 30% of approving Americans.

Answer 8

The only people who seem to change their stories to fit their moods, usually hateful, are liberals. I support George because he says what he means and means what he says. If the NYC Times is printing treasonous stories, they should be attacked.

Answer 9

All you libs give a new maning to the word duuuu

Answer 10

because we still haven't had another homeland terrorist attack. If you flaming liberals would let Homeland Security do their jobs to investigate without shouting to the whole world and the terrorists know how we plan to track them down, maybe we would have already found Bin Laden by now! "WE ARE PLANNING TO ATTACK YOU NOW SO PLEASE DON'T EXPECT IT, MR. LADEN!" Duh...
