President Bush causes blue-states flooding !!!

[yourdaddy]

Representatives of MoveOn.org, and progressive representatives from the Left Coast, are meeting with LA times publisher. Even though the worst storms on record occurred 9 years ago, they want to blame this new round on the current President. According to Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, a NSA (or was it CIA) plane was spotted far out over the Pacific, seeding the clouds with silver iodide crystals, causing these storms. The AP has quoted a member of VP Cheney's staff as saying that with all the water," these states will REALLY be blue now".

Don't mean to make light of these bad floods, just want to show the "Let's blame Bush" thinking of progressives like chefmike.

Hey, yourdaddy, dont lower yourself to their level.

The ability to control the weather has (allegedly) been around for many decades. Nicola Tesla (one of the greatest scientists of all time) investigated (and possibly solved). There are reports that the technology to reduce the impact of storms has been available since the 1950s. It's certainly not science fiction. For instance cloud-seeding has been in use for many years. So a reverse of cloud-seeding (where storms could be reduced in impact), is not an idea that should be considered as far-fetched.

So why hasn't our government (which spends millions on pork, warfare, corporate welfare and other waste), invested any money into a technology that could control the weather and save many millions of dollars by preventing weather disasters? Beats me.

Except that, perhaps... Our government has no interest whatsoever in preventing them.

With that in mind, there's another conspiracy theory: That the neo-cons have convinced the Bush administration that the best way to accomplish their agenda (smaller government) is to "starve the beast." This theory claims that the Bushies want to bankrupt our government in order to let the IMF take over the country and thereby privatize most US programs, selling off US assets to corporations (like Haliburton), eliminating social programs like welfare and social security... Thereby reducing big government. This conspiracy theory explains how the Bush administration WANTS the government to go broke--thus the (astronomical) Iraq war costs, the FEMA disasters, and all the other moves by the Bush administration that defy rational explanation.

I'm not insisting that this theory is fact--but it is a fascinating possibilty as we watch our economy crash and burn under GW's incompetent leadership...

Look it up. "Starve the Beast." The implications are staggering.

Yourdaddy, while i am in no way a supporter of this current administration or the conservative right in general, i will have to agree with you about the whole "lets blame Bush" mentality. I feel by blaming him we are giving him too much credit, way more then he deserves because i feel he is incapable of doing anything really. All the decisions that have been made and anything that has been done has been through the grey people behind the scenes and the corporations, the people that pull the strings and put him in power. Not to get too off topic but, has anyone seen the movie "Corporation"?

Even Jay Leno gets the contradiction. A couple of weeks ago in his opening jokes he brought up the fact that all democrats and their supporters do is complain about how stupid Bush is. Now they are complaining that he tricked them into supporting the war in Iraq. If he is so stupid how did he trick those self proclaimed geniuses?

[yourdaddy]

Touche'. The "progressives" are living in La-La- land.

First of all of course GWBush is just a puppet of Cheney et al and didn't actually make any strategies himself.

Secondly, how did he trick all the democrats? They lied about the content of photographs. They lied about the intended use of aluminum tubes found in Iraq and they threw up the spectre of "..a mushroom cloud" to make everyone so scared they would vote for anything. Like the "Patriot" Act. Which somehow they happened to have already drafted and lying around the oval office for just such an opportunity.

Problem is, the Democrats had intel feeds for years prior during Clinton's administration, if they couldn't apply critical thinking that soon after a change of office, they aren't nearly as smart as they think they are.

Again, why haven't hte Dems figured out a means to retake Congress (a much simpler prospect, and one that would limit the ability their boogyman has of doing damage)?

Instead, they've managed to marginalize their own programme by obsessing on Bush, which is bad, because it leaves them open to being snookered by the GOP (which is why only one Dem voted against Patriot...instead of a straight party-line split that might've drawn the moderates into defeating that legislative turd, and stopped Patriot II and other related legislative buck-passing in its tracks.)

I'm reminded of the "Southern-son-of-a-bitch" who sits there looking dumb but takes the tourists for everything they have while they think they're outsmarting him. Saw this with Clinton, we're seeing the same thing with Bush II. Underestimation of your opposition leads to defeat. Bush has two Presidential Elections and a friendly congress, the scoreboard tells the tale.

I'm an admirer of Tesla's proven works, but you're babbling fringe science here-nobody's been able to replicate those results and the hypothesis is, therefore, dubious as hell.

It's right up there with "Antigravity" experiments and Pons&Fleischmann's cold-fusion device. (or wireless power transmission), occasionally an interesting phenomena might be observed, but it can't be (at this time) replicated, and the math doesn't support it.
