Vote-hungry Bush attacks elites

1 hour, 42 minutes

( bush desperate.attacks his own "elite" base) lol...........

WAUKESHA, United States (AFP) - US President George W. Bush (news - web sites) attacked Democratic White House hopeful John Kerry (news - web sites) by name, but drew nearly as much applause with a rhetorical assault against unnamed "sophisticates."





Defending his trillion-dollar tax cuts, Bush said he knew one couple that owns a small business and stands to get 2,700 dollars back, then added: "Oh, some of the sophisticates will say that '2,700 dollars doesn't matter.'"


The crowd's jeers turned to applause when Bush continued: "It's a lot to them. That's what counts. And when they have more money in their pocket, the economy benefits."

snip



Bush derides Kerry and running mate and fellow Senator John Edwards (news - web sites) as wealthy lawyers, while the Republican party's official web site features an interactive game, based on the classic board game Monopoly, meant to highlight Kerry's ample wealth.



snip..............more

1. Someone should demand that
Bush & Cheney release their financial statements - they are worth BILLIONS.

2. Oh, please let them try to pass themselves off
as the "pore fo'ks." There's so much evidence to the contrary-even on videotape-they'll be toast in no time. Only a moron would believe that line from them after the past four years. Getting desperate, ain't they?

3. Weathly oilmen and war profiteers know how much 2 thousand
dollars can mean, I'm sure Bush has had bigger cocaine and bar tabs. Wonder how much cocaine that'd buy you? hum?

11. There are enough grease-pit cleaners and chicken pluckers
How in FUCK are you going to give Bush a job he can handle?

He can't drive a garbage truck; his background would prevent him from obtaining a CDL.

He can't flip burgers at Wendy's; with his wasted expression, he'd probably have trouble obtaining a food-handler's permit.

I'd suggest he apply to be a lot attendant at a Home Depot somewhere, but with my luck the SOB would wind up at my store. Besides, we all know his work record.

And so it goes. Menial jobs have qualifications that Bush simply can't meet; even "clock in and out when you're supposed to" is beyond his capabilities.

8. Lies. bush doesn't know any couple who only received $2,700
Give me a break. The people he knows most likely receive $27,000 or $270,000 in tax breaks.

10. Will the economy matter when it collapses, Shrubbiepants?
* Housing bubble
* Inflation, the interest rates have to go up
* THE $7 TRILLION DEFICIT THAT YOU STUPID LITTLE DUMBSHIT, ALONG WITH YOUR MENTOR REAGAN GAVE US
* Peak oil (my parents did some checking after I mentioned the concept. They hate Bush*, poppy Bush, and especially REAGAN more than ever. Carter imposed alternative energy programs and Reagan shot them all down by 1983... and people praise these shitheads?!)
* Another terror attack that you are NOT doing anything positive about
* Saudis pull out their investments
* Counties which American companies outsource to go to war with each other
* Outsourcing more jobs while opening up more Wal-marts and Kohls' with entry level minimum wage shit jobs that require passing a dilettante psychiatric biased computer test

Any one of these factors alone will cripple if not kill us.

We need to stop relying on foreign countries to support our greed weed (money) habit. It is not good policy to need 60% of our energy coming from overseas (let alone what the civilized nations need). It is not good policy to move important jobs overseas and leave those at home with minimum wage crap jobs in return.

The repukes are constant failures and have destroyed America, what's left to say?! x(
