“Democracy” is usually my code category for stuff the Bush administration does that pisses me off, usually becuase of the way they make a mockery of whatever the concept “Democarcy” has going for it
Mr Bush is right back out there saying Kerry is incoherent. Well, Mr. Bush, I guess the American people are also incoherent, because in droves, they get it, and they saw that Kerry gets it and YOU, Mr. President, most assuredly DO NOT. You are the living example of “Clueless”. Couldn’t happen to a more inept guy for the job Continue Reading
The mention of how Bush has “a plan to enusre that the war is fought in Afganistan and Iraq and not in America” Joho the Blog: The Republican take President Bush detailed a path forward in the War on Terror – a plan that will ensure that America fights the enemy in Iraq and Afghanistan – not in America’s cities.
CBS: Experts Rate Debate A Draw “Anyone who declares a winner in this debate is a predictable partisan. They both did beautiful,” said Larry Sabato, director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia. Unbelievable. That was from CBS News, whose own poll shopwed by far the widest gap in the Kerry dominance. Polls from Americans across the Continue Reading
Remiinds me of the SNL Bush skits; “FOUR YEARS?!!! Man, this is gonna be hard!” Talking Points Memo: by Joshua Micah Marshall: September 26, 2004 – October 02, 2004 Archives I think we all know that the presidency is tremendously hard work, even for a president like this one who keeps notoriously light hours. It’s amazing to look back at Continue Reading
via Josh Seems that one of the 3 “independents” is actually an activist Republican: Jesus’ General I needed to calm down after George drove the John Deere into my bedroom yesterday, so I kicked on CNN. I find American Morning very reassuring. A few minutes of Bill Hemmer, Heidi Collins, and Jack Cafferty telling me that Our Leader is boldly Continue Reading
Often, VERY convincingly and overwhelmingly. MSNBC had a very impressive online point by point question rating. I couldn’t find Fox’s numbers (they were the only one I could not find polling numbers. But their headline said “Both sides Claim Win; Poll Favors Kerry). I wonder what their poll numbers were? FOXNews.com – You Decide 2004 – Both Claim Win; Polls Continue Reading
I had hewrd this a few days ago, and took it in stride, as another Bush administration control thing. Talking Points Memo: by Joshua Micah Marshall: September 26, 2004 – October 02, 2004 Archives It seems they decided not to register him as a 527. According to today’s Post, “the U.S. government and a representative of President Bush’s reelection campaign Continue Reading
It amazes me how absolutely stupid the Bush/Cheney team must think the American people are. (and also lazy and uninformed, becuase they won’t actually check the veracity of the “free-form paraphrase” they’ve performed on the original quotes.) the first one I had never heard before, and is a doozy. Do You Hear What I Hear? (washingtonpost.com) Here are some quotations Continue Reading
The President was his usual, tongue-tied self last night, only able to repeat without substantiation his charges of inconsistency on Kerry’s part. Talking Points Memo: by Joshua Micah Marshall: September 26, 2004 – October 02, 2004 Archives The key point I think, the key impression, was of a president who was out of touch. Erratic. Without a plan. In a Continue Reading
The Broken Promises of George W. Bush – American Progress Action Fund President Bush made a lot of promises during his 2000 presidential campaign. The record shows it was all talk.
Yahoo! News – Document: Bush Leaves Military Service The White House on Wednesday night produced a November 1974 document bearing Bush’s signature from Cambridge, Mass., where he was attending Harvard Business School, saying he had decided not to continue as a member of the military reserve. The document, signed a year after Bush left the Texas Air National Guard, said Continue Reading
Here’s what I’ve been seeing for quite a while. Aside from the fact that the lower 98% of us DO NOT benefit from Bush’s “tax cuts”, people are unaware of what Bush actually supports and opposes. This is the way he likes it. If the true policies and shady deals with industry lobbyists (the “deal” being, they get to be Continue Reading
My take is, if they’ve used that successfully up to now, then why change? And why expect them not to continue the distortion, appeals to the most simplistic and inane analysis, and then sound bite it to death? This is the way the Bush administration keeps their real agenda secret from the American people. The most dangerous kind of “waffling” Continue Reading
In addition to being AWL from the National Guard, Bush hasn’t seemingly changed that much since. It seems he spends as much time on vacation as he does doing his duties in the White House. And it’s not just a matter of doing “electronic commute”, but large gaps in activity that show no Bush activity during critical “junctures” (in quotes, Continue Reading
via KOS This is an awesome and sobering BLUNT INSTRUMENT of a reality check on our illustrious leaders: Why We Cannot Win by Al Lorentz We have fallen victim to the body count mentality all over again. We have shown a willingness to inflict civilian casualties as a necessity of war without realizing that these same casualties create waves of Continue Reading
