BB, repubs lost beacuse tens of millions of republicans watched loose change and other 911 documentaries, and were disgusted with the 911 story holes and lack of investigation.

Many of these moderate repubs couldn't get themselves to vote dem, who they hate. But they sure wouldn't give their vote to the neocon repubs which so clearly refused to properly investigate the worst attack in American history.

(They do forensic testing on old ladies who fall in their kitchen, but don't bother with 3000 dead from a terror attack, huh?)

Novak is a good writer, and there are lots of reasons.  But the 911 vote is the new swing vote, even if CNN and FOX News won't tell you about it yet.  You will see in 2008.

Really?  And here I thought the election was all about the war, like every news outlet, exit poll, newspaper, political pundit, etc. said.

Two points:
1) 9/11 was the lie which started this war cycle, and
2) You're smart enough, albeit not courageous enough, to admit to yourself that the media can't touch certain issues, and 911 is one of them.  A Former CIA director, and Dan Rather have both said the govt does indeed manage what gets on the air.

I almost forgot

The have expanded the store at loosechange.
http://www.lc911.com/lc911/catalog/

Remember they aren't making money, so they need to charge 116 dollars for 25 dvds and a t-shirt. :o
Actual cost $15.

Loose Change 2nd edition

"Loose Change 2nd Edition" is the follow-up to the most provocative 9-11 documentary on the market today. Now shipping the second edition recut.
Price: $17.95

That is the same cost as any other DVD.

Not making money my ass.

1. Iraq is the swing vote. It is the single most defining issue of the election.
2. Most of the southern democrats that won were social conservatives.
3. Free Trade and Wages
4. 9-11 was a non-issue

Somebody better let Robert Novak know the election was decided by 911 conspiracy theorists. . . .

The two main reasons I really like him are (1) he is not a lock-step conservative and calls things as he sees them, supporting and criticizing conservatives where necessary, and (2) more importantly, he is an anti-tax militant (a man after my own heart).   :)

I can tolerate cheesecake, but I'm a chocoholic.   :)
