Evidence Bush frequently manipulated the "Terror Alert" level for political gain
Former head of the Department of Homeland Security, Tom Ridge, has a new book coming out soon. According to his book, when he was working for the Bush administration, he revealed the following:
"Ridge was never invited to sit in on National Security Council meetings; was "blindsided" by the FBI in morning Oval Office meetings because the agency withheld critical information from him; found his urgings to block Michael Brown from being named head of the emergency agency blamed for the Hurricane Katrina disaster ignored; and was pushed to raise the security alert on the eve of President Bush's re-election, something he saw as politically motivated and worth resigning over.
Wow . . . what a surprise!!! This is one of many reasons why I think this whole "terrorist threat" is bullshit and that all of the scanning they do at the airport is a waste of time.
Okay right-wingers. Your turn. Why was it okay for Bush to do this?
Hell, the Democratic party flaunts Global Warming and tells old people that medicare will run out if national healthcare doesn't become a reality. How are those for scare tactics?

Lemme guess...you also believe that George Bush hates black people, George Bush secretly instituted the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the moon, which the cow jumped over, is made out of green cheese.
Ever stop to think that Ridges book is politically motivated? As you so famously point out, "the french do it" we'll say, "Clinton used the same scare tactics" in his nightmare as president.
If it's true, sure it's wrong, but you're being a hypocrite again in not pointing out the crap osama, pelosi, reid and the other socialists are pulling right now!

There is no definition for terrorist. Because if there was, the United States could be in that group! -I8URVR6 - "Patriotic Terrorist!"

This proves without a doubt that all republicans are evil, as well as right wingers. There is no way that this should be taken as a negative action by a single man, or administration but rather we should blame an entire political party.Because you posted this, you hav shown everyone the light. good job. /sarcasm.

Up to the bolded part, I was like WTF is this guy talking about!?!? And preparing to rip you apart. The end saved it. I like you. Especially since your car is black.

WAS black. Sold it 2 years ago. I'm finally on this forum again because I'm looking for another one in the next few months. Black of course.
Honestly, it's a little late to be worried about what Bush years ago. I'm surprised you think air port security is a complete waste. Do you think Bush faked 9/11, and all those people didn't really die when terrorists crash planes into the buildings.
I guess you figured out our right wing plan. We had David fucking Copperfield make the buildings disappear. There really still there and all the people go to work there just like they did before 9/11.
Why would you ask right-wingers? Bush was more Liberal than Conservative. So asking "right-wingers" is pretty fucking dumb.

Jesus christ.. get off the bush wagon. Stop focusing on the past and start focusing on how badly our current fearless leader is fucking shit up.
He is just taking the heat off of the Socialism that Obama and his radical friends are bringing down on the American people by using Bush as the bad guy.
