I don't blame him for not telling them... 'Security' and 'Congress' should never be used in a sentence together - it just ain't natural... ;0)
To: SharpEye
They are just pissed because they did not get a personal bunker!

I'm sure that the crybaby, Tom Daschle, will tell us how he feels about it.
To: SharpEye
Between the weinies in the national press corps and the nincompoops in the Congress(note: CONgress is the opposite of PROgress), it's only prudent to NOT tell these people any more than is absolutely necessary. To do so is to let those that wish to destroy us know just how they can achieve their goals.

I don't blame him.
If we had to rebuild congress from scratch it really wouldn't be that big a deal, imo.
Might actually be beneficial..
(Now, how does that quote go again? "Tie up heavy loads on the backs of other men and yourself lift not a finger to help carry them")

Relevant graf of the
Post article:
Bush acknowledged yesterday that the administration had taken extensive measures to guarantee "the continuity of government," after it was revealed that about 100 top officials, spanning every executive branch department, have been sent to live and work in two fortified locations on the East Coast. This system, in which high-ranking administrators are rotating in and out of the two sites, represents the first time a president has activated the contingency plan, which was devised during the Cold War of the 1950s so that federal rule could continue if Washington were struck by a catastrophic attack.
Say it very slowly with me, Mr. Daschle: ECKS-EC-YOU-TIV BR-ANNNN-CHUH.

I wouldn't tell them either. I can't think of a bigger collection of egomaniacal blabbermouths than the US Congress. Add to that the Socialistic tendencies of the left along with their outright hostility to President Bush and the War on Terror and you have a huge security problem. Keep the sh*theads in the dark.

Make no mistake, both houses of Congress have bunkers.
Their last one was under a hotel/country club somewhere and the Washington Post did a story and "outed" it..

About two hours ago there was a commentator on Fox who said that Daschle knew about this. ALL leaders of Congress are briefed about this plan. Daschle himself was taken to a secure location during 9/11.
He is, once again, lying.
To: AlGone2001
Perhaps we could form a shadow government for Dashle. Let's lock him up in a secure location and if all the rest of us are killed, he can takr over.

True. We have a shadow gov't for the legislative branch already. It's called the state legislature.

A bump for the National Security team as well as the Homeland Security team. They know how to keep their mouths shut!
To: Miss Marple
Not to mention the concept and plans pre-date this and the last administrations.
To: SharpEye
Daschle: "Waaaahhhhh, we weren't told about a shadow government!"
Judge Judy: "So!!!! Get over it!"

Yah, I know about them. Congressional butt brains are angry because they were not consulted. Their oversite abilities do not extend to everything. They try, but cannot micro-manage the White House.
To: SharpEye
Hey, don't they still have that place in West Virginia that looks like a hotel above ground? They can steal a couple of hundred million from us to refurbish it.

Yeah, but they didn't tell Usama Bin Lauden or Sadam Husein, either. They wouldn't have told Hitler or Stalin, either. In fact, no America-hater probably would have been informed. Besides, using the antrax scare as a example, it certainly looked like the Congress was pretty good at looking after its own interests.
Inform Tommie the Commie or Head Gephardt? Puhleeze! These two ultra-left wing, extremist liberal anti-Americans refuse to recognize there is a war going on or to do ANYTHING to help win it. They swore the same oath that Bush did yet they are far more concerned with their own petty interests than in protecting the Constitution from all enemies, foreign or DOMESTIC. Stop whining leftie and get with the program.

First the old man has the balls and the audacity to use the phrase New World Order in an inagural address, and now his offspring has the balls in broad daylight to tell us that there is a shadow government.
And of course that is all just hunky dory. It used to be in the past if you dared say there was a new world order regime in place, or that there was a shadow govt you were called a kook. "Nonsense" people would say, "there is no such thing. You are just paranoid"
Of course, the implication is that these would be bad things, because to call someone paranoid means they are worrying about something bad, but the bad thing does not exist.
Yet, sure enough, in the broad light of day, the Bush family tells us the very things we have known about all along, and they are bad, make no mistake about it. The big lie is that the shadow government has been in business for almost 100 years.
Here is the catch. In the past the majority would have said "you worry too much; you're too paranoid". Now that is has been made official by the Bush family that 1) there is a New World Order, and that 2) there is a shadow govt, suddenly the masses, when confronted with the truth that the bad thing has existed all along, and that they were wrong to call the informed paranoid, now, to make themselves look right, when in the past by calling the informed paranoid because nothing so bad as a new worlkd order and a shadow govt could exist, they say "there is nothing wrong with a new world order and a shadow govt"!
This represents a 180 degree flip. Before NWO and shadow govt were bad things that did not exist. Now that we are told by the Bush family they exist, suddenly they are good things, and we have nothing to worry about.
Man, so many people are not only stupid, they are hypocrites and idiots. When Bush announced the existence of a shadow govt, that lowered the value of the govt established by the US Constitution officially to zero. Of course, the shadow govt has been in business for decades, and it is no new story that the US Constitution is nothing more than toilet paper. Leave to a Bush to make it official.
Sweet dreams America. Bend over, because and even bigger pole is coming your way. Don't worry it won't hurt at all. Why? Because your benevolent shadow govt of the even more benevolent NWO says so. Oh, I have some GREAT NEWS!!!
YOU GET TO PAY FOR IT!!!!! YIPPEE!!!
