The National Cognitive Dissonance: Will Bush Supporters Ever Wake Up?

"...Bush supporters tend to believe what they want to believe. Whether their beliefs are because they feel that Bush is a messenger of God or because their fear of cognitive dissonance causes them to impute Bush with leadership qualities befitting America’s standing as a great nation, his supporters take him at his word. For many people it is impossible for them to believe that we would have invaded Iraq for no reason. This would belie the belief in our country as a just nation. Most Americans with the belief in the goodness of our country will choose to cherry pick the facts to continue to believe in the American dream. For them, the invasion of Iraq is a matter of national security, simply because we are already there." READ

Bush’s 9/11 Secrets
Will the true extent of Bush’s complicity in 9/11 ever be made public? 

"...If Richard Clarke’s allegations were surprising to many people, it should be even more astounding for them to learn that the Bush team actively worked to block investigations into terrorism which might have stopped the 9/11 attacks. And it should come as even more of a complete shock, that at the behest of their cronies in the oil industry, the Bush team re-opened diplomatic negotiations with the Taliban which continued until just five weeks before the twin towers fell. ..."

Nobody But Bush: The Media Calls Another Election

"...What seems certain is that as the 2004 campaign unfolds, the media will successfully undermine the credibility the Democratic challenger at the same time that they heap praises on Bush. As a result, unless the Democratic Party can come up with a superior strategy for getting its message out, it will be impossible to undo the media’s spin and set the record straight. ..." READ

Why Liberals Fail

"...The conservative right has been diligent in promoting it's vision and it has succeeded in building an empire. So far their crowning achievement has been in the installation of Bush Jr.; an occurrence that could not have happened without them. It's clear that Bush's support by this group cannot be ignored by Bush himself and accordingly he has spent nearly all of this administration rewarding them. ..." READ

How the Republicans Got Their Groove Back

"...Karl Rove's notes about Republican's strategy to campaign on military issues, leaked reports about a possible invasion of Iraq from military sources, Bush's State of the Union speech citing an "axis of evil" and Bush's initial tough stand on Iraq before relenting and asking for Congressional consent on the brink of the midterm elections; are all dots that can be connected to show how impressive the forethought and planning of the Republican party's midterm campaign strategy actually was. ..."
