He can do it. He probably did do it. And he'll get away with it.
This is the progression I've learned to (unfortunately) live with when people hate for the sake of hate...

Look at the last three sentences...we'll take them one by one...

Saying someone can do something, of course, doersn't mean they've done anything...But pointing out someone's ability to do something comes with an implication...I can kill my nextdoor neighbor with a knife...But what's the point of even saying it?!?!...:

Anyway, saying someone can do something is not saying someone's guilty...they only have the ability to be guilty...

I'll be fair and put this at 50% of Bush being guilty...Simply for the fact that people believe he has the power to be guilty...


Quote:

Now we've gone from ability to do something and progressed it up to "reasonably guilty"(60%?...70%?...99%?)...From one sentence to the next was a jump from a possibly objective statement to one which actually takes no account into the fact that no one was found guilty of the crimes that were spread across the front pages for weeks and months at a time...The objectivity is gone and we now see perception become reality...

And now the jump again...From "reasonably guilty" to "100% guilty"...The fact that someone posts that he can "get away with it" shows a belief that "it" was done...Once again, even though no evidence showing this to be the case...

This is the natural progression on how some people think themselves into a conclusion based on nothing more than partisan speculation and wishful thinking...
