Bush*: "I want to be the peace president."
ROFLMAO! I really buy that one, George. :puke:

'The enemy declared war on us," he told a re-election rally. "Nobody wants to be the war president. I want to be the peace president."

Bush has called himself a "war president" in leading the United States in a battle against terrorism brought about by the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on America.

"I'm a war president. I make decisions here in the Oval Office in foreign policy matters with war on my mind," he said in February.'

4. Naaah. "Flip-flop" is the Pravda term for KERRY
Thus is is not permitted to use that term alongside the name of Der Fuhrer*.

6. ....
That's all I can say. I'm speechless and shocked. Could this be a new strategy? Could he be gearing up to try and sound more compassionate because he thinks his base is satisfied?

If so I say we try and find away to inflame his base. ;)

32. Karl Rove is shifting Gears....they realize the War thing isn't going well
I was speechless too, but the reality is nothing shocks me anymore from these lieing sacks of Sh*t....

I say the Dems and everyone keep throwing the fact that he started this War and its his war and the dead bodies and maimed kids coming back are his responsibility....and no, the world is not safer and more peaceful because of him...

I'd love to see some of the other country's leaders speak out against him....what do they have to lose? They are going to be screwed if he wins anyway....

I'd just love to see some headlines like "Prime Minister _____ (fill in the blank)says our world is a lot less safe and less peaceful due to the actions of George W. Bush....

7. He is insane and I am not ranting and someone needs to
expose his insanity and suggest he be outed on his ass on the front steps of the Whtie House. This is an absolute insane statement--it is schizoid, delusional, and removed from reality.

Some one needs to kick his sick ass out now. He needs to be impeached . He is sick and incompetent.

13. You left out the best part!
"I'm not a lawyer, you'll be happy to hear," Bush said to cheers. "That's the other team. This is the pro-small business team."

See Cheney just runs a little business. They HATE big business!

Next time he speaks we need the Animal House crowd there:
*cough* *bullshit!!!* *cough*

27. No, he sure isn't the jobs *president-
May 18, 2004

Factory Bush Touted Closes; 1,300 Ohioans Jobless


Last April, President Bush visited a Timken Company manufacturing plant in Ohio to press for passage of new tax cuts that he said would spur the economy. During the speech Bush said that "the future of this company is bright and therefore, the future of employment is bright for the families that work here"1. Less than a year after the tax cuts for the wealthy passed, that same factory is shutting down -- putting about 1,300 people out of work2 and inflicting a "devastating" blow to the Canton community3. With the White House pushing even more tax cuts for the wealthy4 and supporting outsourcing of American jobs5, Ohio has lost more than 200,000 manufacturing jobs since President Bush took office6.

Of course, one person who will not be feeling the pain of the President's economic policies is W.R. "Tim" Timken - a top Bush fundraiser and the man who decided to shut down the factory. Having earned more than $2.6 million last year, Timken stands to receive $59,000 in new tax breaks from President Bush this year7 - Timken also happens to have raised $600,000 for the President in one night8. By contrast, 89% of Ohio residents will receive less than $100 by 2006 from the latest Bush tax cuts9.

Personally, I think he should stick to being the VACATION *president - permanently. Seems to be what he does best.

22. Remember when his dad orated "I want to be the education president."
A fun catch-phrase. You can say you WANT to be anything. What you wind up actually DOING is another.

25. Guess no body told him or his writers that Michael Moore has him
saying "I'm a war president, I have war on my mind" in F 911 (a comment that pissed off several folks around me).

The two clips should be played in split screen. "I'm a war president, I have war on my mind."

So do you think that since his flip flop ads against Kerry didn't work, his campaign folks figured no body cares about flip flop and since folks like Kerry they will like * if he flip flops?

34. The hispanic man and his daughter looked like they weren't sure how they
got there or if they spoke English (then again - its impossible to understand the Dimwit - he barely speaks the English language himself). They looked frightened and confused...maybe they were picked out and told - you will sit here behind the President while he is speaking and you will clap and smile - or else be deported....

Peace President my A$$.....

31. So the swaggering self-proclaimed "War President"
now wants to be known as the "Peace President".

I think Karl Rove's really been losing it this summer.
