Do you think Washington DC'rs get nervous when bush leaves town?
Knowing that bush was absent the last time that terrorists
attacked DC one can't help but wonder if he's been warned
again that something might happen.

1. I don't know, but there is NO way
that this outside-the-Beltway citizen or his family will visit New York City, Washington DC, or any other notable national monument while the Boy King is on vacation.

3. Bush is irresponsible.
He's irresponsible as a president. Is anyone else disturbed that the retard is taking a VACATION in the middle of a freaking war!? He's at his ranch in Texas while our kids are dying in Iraq. His priorities are FUCKED UP (Pardon the language.)!! God, I hate that man...:grr:

6. I can't get over the vacation...
Why did the jerk bother to steal Al Gores house if he doesn't even want it.

7. You are so right....

"He's at his ranch in Texas while our kids are dying in Iraq"

The press and democratic politicians just let him do
whatever he wants and there is no accountability.

4. he's gone so often (275 whole or partial days so far) it's no big deal
he's never around anyway.

you'd think he'd have cleared all the brush by now.

clear bush in '04.

8. living inside the Beltway, there is always a VERY high chance of
Edited on Tue Aug-05-03 06:08 PM by amen1234


a terrorist attack...many people here feel that bush* has done little to prevent terrorist attacks, if anything, bush* has made us more vulnerable...

so now, we have the "homeland security", an agency that still doesn't have a real office...an agency that is mostly PR for shrub, and agency that does nothing to coordiate or include the TWO biggest agency failures EVER (9/11), FBI and CIA...our first line responders have little to help them, no chemical detection instruments, radios that STILL do not work between the various agencies, little personal protective suits...complete failure to protect Federal offices, complete failure to understand how terrorism works...

shrub's biggest effort was tell everyone here to buy duct-tape and plastic...since then, we have received no further information...shrub has spent $$$$BILLIONS to his campaign-contributors only...and we are worse than ever before...

just in the last two weeks, I have walked into the ronald reagun International Trade Building (with my briefcase) unhindered by any screening, into the Smithsonian, unhindered by any screening (with my backpack), public parking is still allowed underneath many Federally-leased buildings inside the Beltway (condi will just say that she never heard of car bombs)...and of course, there are almost daily problems on the Metro Trains (the subway) that are simply not being addressed...most people that I know are simply prepared to flee the Capital at a moments notice, if they survive...shrub has done nothing to protect us, and shrub doesn't seem to care one bit...the biggest thing that the shrub has done is to massively assault Americans with lies....

if anybody comes here to OUR Nation's Capital, take a look at the greatly increased number of homeless here, and realize that over 60% are OUR Veterans...shame on bush* and his whole cabal...

9. Wow!
"...most people that I know are simply prepared to flee the Capital at a moments notice, if they survive..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thanks for the insight....I live in an out of way smaller community
and we don't think much about being attacked. Yes it could happen
but hearing from you makes me see how vulnerable people in places
like DC and NY City are feeling. Smirkboy really has done nothing
to make citizens safer!

10. Not really, only time I ever even think about it is when I'm in the Metro
The underground Metro transit system here in enormous, and very vulnerable in my opinion. Other than that, no.

12. there seem to be many people here who are heavily into
prescription drugs, illegal drugs and alcohol...

that seems to keep them in a "I really don't worry" mode....

those who survive further attacks on OUR Capitol, will be those who are alert and cognizant of what's going on around them at all times...so they know when to flee...look at any Nation at war (and shrub has the USA in at least three wars now).... and realize that those who remain alert, and know when to flee, often survive while those who stay put, don't survive....

I do not know anyone who is not fully packed and ready to flee OUR Capitol at any time...those who feel otherwise are simply naive, and put their lives and those of their families at risk...
