Yes Ustwo, I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say I completely agree. In fact, that's almost as important as trusting the President (as long as he's republican) completely, because no one would ever try to abuse the powers of that office. And let's not forget that we should also dismiss out of hand any media reports of anything negative solely because President Bush and the Republicans say the media is biased. Funny how it's only become "biased" when Bush has been caught screwing up (after all, a biased media wouldn't have gone into such a frenzy over a democrat fooling around with an intern, would they?) but I guess that's just one of those funny things in life.
President Bush would never deceive anyone to start a war, and he'd certainly never continue deceiving people to try and cover up anything bad that happens in or around that war.
Would he?
Oh. . by the way, next time you want to discredit the media, maybe you shouldn't use the Hawaii Reporter. After all, a republican senator (Sam Slom) is on its board of directors, one of its co-founders also founded the Grassroot Institute of Hawaii (conservative thinktank). Oh, and the Reporter is well known for directly publishing articles from Talon News. You remember Talon News don't you? The fake news outlet that employed the fake reporter Jeff Gannon?
Were I you Ustwo, I'd try to avoid breaking the irony meter by not using a thoroughly discredited source when attempting to discredit something.
