Bush awaits judgment of voters
President says GOP will finish strong in midterm campaign

Updated: 9:57 a.m. CT Nov 7, 2006
PENSACOLA, Fla., Nov. 6 - These are trying times for President Bush. On the last day of the last campaign that will affect him directly, he came here as a favor to his brother on behalf of the Republican candidate for governor. Only the Republican candidate for governor skipped the event. Too busy, he said, to be with the president of the United States.

So it goes these days. Bush shrugged it off and delivered a robust speech, firing up a crowd of Republicans and defiantly predicting victory. Any doubt he may harbor, he kept to himself. Any feelings of regret are locked tight inside. The rest of the world may see an unpopular president in the midst of an unpopular war. But Bush soldiers on. He does not publicly stew as other presidents have. He powers through event after event as if he were still the leader the country rallied behind after Sept. 11, 2001.



To his critics, it sometimes seems as if Bush lives in his own world, oblivious or unwilling to accept the shifting reality around him. His is a world of absolutes. "I view this as a struggle of good versus evil," he said the other day about the war with terrorists. To Bush, that is strength, not weakness -- the certitude of conviction, the power of principle. He's "the decider" in a business afflicted by equivocation and thumb-sucking.

1. My judgment is that he's evil.

[yellerpup]

6. Got a petition?

[Nightwing]

14. Pure evil and then some

The bastard cant go soon enough for me. He's far worse than Saddam and the worst pResident EVER. Let's take back the House and Senate and impeach * and Cheney both!!!

[Auntie Bush]

19. Where'd you get that idea? You forgot to post a link !

:rofl:

[Avalux]

2. He's a fucking delusional nutcase. n/t

[yellerpup]

8. I'll sign on for that, too. n/t

[Tight_rope]

28. I'll sign that too!

[AndyA]

3. The GOP has admitted that Bush is "incurious and has a communication

problem."

I think he's a fucking lunatic who should be getting mental health care!

[calimary]

16. He's a fucking lunatic, alright, but don't bother with the mental health

care - until after he's faced an international war crimes tribunal on the heels of having been IMPEACHED and REMOVED FROM OFFICE. THEN we'll get him some mental health care, and he might even start crying and sniveling for it.

[Samurai_Writer]

17. My sister has been waiting 20 years for decent mental health care

I say Bush gets it after her and every other mentally ill person in the US receives decent care... for FREE, since his will be free.

[calimary]

20. Works for me. Let him stand in line, for a change.

Others have MANY MORE legitimate reasons for getting help FIRST. Let him take a number and wait his turn. Forever - as far as I'm concerned. And frankly, since he is supremely able to pay for care, his should NOT be free, in all fairness. Those who can afford it easily, like him and his pals among the "have's" and "have more's" ought to help shoulder the expenses that others can't afford.

Much blessed, much obligated, george. Or didn't your mommie or daddy teach you that when you were a kid?

[Solly Mack]

4. I'm all for Bush awaiting judgment by a war crimes tribunal

May the "certitude of conviction" be upon him then

[BootinUp]

5. He's a throwback to the 16th century. n/t

[yellerpup]

9. Yes, the village idiot.

[truthisfreedom]

7. "Story continues below" seems to sum it up pretty well for me.

bush's story will continue below. that's exactly where he's headed.

[twilight_sailing]

10. "I view this as a struggle of good versus evil"

Well, George, how about that good torture
or those good secret prisons?
How about that good pre-emtive war
you waged against a country that hadn't attacked us.
Heck, best I can recall, they didn't even threaten us.

How is that good, George?

[alterfurz]

11. "often in error, but never in doubt" n/t

[rodeodance]

12. looky what Rove told Jr;

Bush woke up Monday at his ranch in Crawford, Tex., and was briefed by strategist Karl Rove on the shifting races. Rove told reporters later that of 20 recent polls in critical places, 16 had moved in Republican direction and three were flat. "I knew we were going to finish strong," Bush said here.

Bush is not a nervous election-eve politician, obsessively poring over race-by-race reports, but he can be edgy or impatient and understands what is on the line, according to associates. As he embarked on his last day on the trail, Laura Bush came along, a calming presence during moments of pressure.

[durtee librul]

23. oh pooh....

she was just there as his caretaker to administer his meds and make sure he didn't get too drunk

[JoFerret]

24. He will implode yet.

Don't know when, don't know how...but it will happen.

[Arkana]

13. The Final Judgment.

[ShortnFiery]

[AIJ Alom]

[LynnTheDem]
