This administration has spent over $1.6 BILLION on propaganda in 2 years (1 BILLION by the Pentagon alone)- money that apparently wasn't needed elsewhere. All that cash, and only 39% support. What would the level of support be without the 1.6 Billion spent to influence minds? The same level of support.....doubtful. And if it were, then what a waste of money.
Somebody please justify this monumental waste of resources.

I don't know what he's talking about either.
Is he saying these were FEDERAL funds? Or their own GOP funds that they can use however they wish to use them....as can the dems.
What's his beef now? 
While the democratic party complains about everything THIS President does to protect our Nation:
What would a Democrat president have done at that point? Apparently, the answer is: Sit back and wait for the next terrorist attack.

Or could he mean MILITARY PROPAGANDA for use in Iraq and similar places?
Even if it does seem a little shady, that stuff is a valuable and effective military tool.
And it isn't free, either.

Read about half way down the page.
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0602/14/ldt.01.html
They touched on it a little bit on Lou Dobbs, but avoided it (of course) on FOX.
The US Government has spent $1.6 Billion tax dollars on advertising and public relations, including at least $1 Billion for Pentagon propaganda alone.
How much of the propaganda was directed at US citizens, and how much was directed at Iraqis wasn't mentioned, but it was an official GAO report, so feel free to read it yourselves.

Just think, in other countries the government can just order the press to publish their crap.
Is America great or what?

If that amount of money had been spent on a program to feed poor children or insure their health you conservative bastards would be jumping to high heaven. But you have no response if 1.6 billion is used to promote this evil administration's agenda.

nerfballwillie, GOOD JOB.
The BAD NEWS is, people like LIAR_K AND COLIN JUST PLAIN LIE ABOUT WHAT THEY KNOW OR DON'T KNOW WHEN IT COMES TO DUMBO'S AND CHENEY'S FAILURES. THE GOOD NEWS IS AN EVER INCREASING MAJORITY OF AMERICANS DON'T BELIEVE THEIR LIES ANY LONGER.
DUMBO SPENDS 1.6 BILLION AND IS ON T.V. ALMOST DAILY WITH HIS "MESSAGE" AND DUMBO'S APPROVAL RATINGS CONTINUE TO FALL.
O.K. LIAR_K AND COLIN IF THE BELOW STATEMENT IS NOT TRUE SHOW US ALL WHERE ITS WRONG.
The Bush administration has been bending over backwards to get its views out in front the public, but spending $1.6 billion does not seem to have paid off. A new poll shows 56 percent of the public disapprove of the way Bush is handling his job as president, only 39 percent approve.
WHAT A LAME DUCK PRESIDENT THIS DUMBO HAS BECOME EVEN MEMBERS IN HIS OWN PARTY ARE TRYING TO BREAK AWAY FROM HIM AND CHENCY.
Liar_k, I am glad you posted about Helen she made a true serious statement. Maybe now Helen will give me my laugh of the day when she chews you up and spits you out like she always does. On second thought why should a smart person like Helen bother with a LIAR like you.
Hey Bear prove your statement about Clinton if you can't your just another liar along with liar_K and VOODOO MAN Colin.

I've finally figured you out Pee, most everyone here grew up and became smarter and posts with some wit or humor.
Where as, you post excitedly, as if you’re still 13 year old, in the school locker room, and seeing another boys azz for the first time.
Now quit with the cap’s

Bear and Colin,
Sorry boys, your side hasn't got it any longer its failed and you fools can't defend DUMBO any longer. All you guys do now is make statements you can't back up.
What a waste you both are its like talking to a DUMBOETTE from Texas and a DUMBOETTE from upstate New York. One thing for sure your both LIFE TIME MEMBERS OF THE DUMBOETTE FOREVER CLUB.

We can see why you chose to retire. Delusions of grandure & senility are evident in your posts.

Are the posters on the left the only ones that really care about missing money?
And thank-you Helen. You have proved time and time again that your concern for the poor and sick is on the top of your list. It's always refreshing.

Dubyah is a juggernaut that the American voters unleashed on your sorry liberal asses. Does it sometimes hit the wrong target? Yeah. Is it embarrassing sometimes? Yeah. Is it going in the wrong direction or too far sometimes? Yeah. Is it doing too much GOBing? Yeah. Is it doing the job? Yeah. Would we do it again? Ohhhhh, yeah!
Your whining, whimpering, sniveling, and kvetching is just icing on the cake. That's why I don't have the likes of Bonerpinchpa on ignore. Hahahahahahaha!

Parklane,
Your another one that can say anything you want but your words are empty. In reality your conservative movement is getting weaker everyday.
Your conservative movement is falling apart and unlike Bear and Colin your smart enough to REALIZE WHY.
You guys had it all until your all out GREED,DISHONESTY AND LIES BLEW IT FOR THE CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT.
Better pucker up because it won't be long before the Majority in America is coming after the CON-servatives. The majority will put a stop to CON-servative GREED, DISHONESTY, along with coming after their GOD the ALMIGHTY DOLLAR.

Back to the point, does anybody see justification for this? I know somebody can twist logic enough to come up with something resembling an excuse for this type of waste.
