BUSH: "I made a name by being compassionate."

[kpete]

Okay, his interviewer said mildly, but what he'd really wanted to know was how (George W.) Bush Republicans would be defined, and what images the phrase "Bush Republican" might summon for future generations.

And suddenly, it was 2000 again; Mr. Bush did not mention 9/11 or the global war on terror, Iraq or Afghanistan, Saddam or bin Laden: "Compassionate conservatism" was his legacy, he declared, and referred to the faith-based initiatives we haven't heard much about in subsequent years. "I made a name by being compassionate."

............................

Certainly, his own position on Iraq could not be described as having evolved at all: "If we fail, it's more likely they'll come here and want to kill Americans," he argued, as he has since before the war began.

Again, too, he asserted that there's plenty of good news in Iraq, even now: "Most of the country is in good shape."

Asked outright if he had changed at all in the last six years, he said no: "You'd better ask Laura, but I feel like the same fellow who came up from, uh, Texas. I don't feel changed."

[enid602]

17. compassionate

Just ask all the samll animals that lived in Midland while the chimp was growing up.

[Amonester]

46. And don't forget how much compassionate he was in the days ...

before, during, and after more than a thousand died horrible deaths in the Gulf states around New Orleans. The crazy sociopath was so much in a hurry to go party with McCaCain and fake to play the guitar with freepers that he didn't dare ask not even one short question after a visual presentation of the possible disaster was shown to him.

Every crap he says is always the direct opposite of the truth. :puke:

[Garbo 2004]

50. Exactly what first came to my mind too. n/t

[Book Lover]

[Initech]

28. Or any of the other 152 people he signed execution orders for.

[SpiralHawk]

6. "Compassionate to my corrupt republicon cronies. Wink, wink, SMIRK." - Commander AWOL

"All pigs are equal, but republicon pigs are more equal.
We have really been able to pig out on oil & munitions profits
over my term. So that's why I will be remembered as kkkompasionate."

- Commander AWOL

[DesertRat]

7. It's official. He's competely delusional.

[rhiannon55]

"Who you gonna believe...

me, or your lying eyes?":puke:

[undeterred]

8. What's he smoking these days?

:smoke:

[Bozita]

9. When * says "clear skies," he means smog-filled. When he speaks of "clean water," ...

... he's referring to arsenic in drinking water.

When he says "compassionate," think of cruelty with a smile.

That's why we call it Bushspeak.

[MethuenProgressive]

10. It's official, he's INSANE.

He babbles crazy talk when ever he wanders away from the teleprompters...

[saltpoint]

11. Bush? "Compassionate" ?! Sounds of sustained and horrific puking

eminate from Old Crusoe's house.

Neighborhood dogs howl in despairing response.

[Bitwit1234]

12. He certainly did make a name for himself

but the ones I want to tell you I am too much of a lady to even type on this message board. Ugh!!!!!!!!!

[lpbk2713]

13. Ask the Katrina survivors how compassionate this asshole is.

[The_Casual_Observer]

14. Compassionate to who? The oil lobby, the saudis, walmart, india & china

halliburton, that's who.

[Cha]

32. bush gets his "compassionate" and

his "sociopathic" confused. :silly:

[Bhaisahab]

44. you forgot the stem cells n/t

[buff2]

15. I'll bet that idiot doesn't even know the meaning of "Compassion"

Someone should get him a dictionary and show him what it is. His actions and his policies are the total opposite.Kh-rist.....I can't believe how delusional he is.:puke:

[C_U_L8R]

16. One thing. Name one single thing Bush!

This man is so utterly devoid of compassion
ther has not been one single act that comes
close to any definition of the word.

Self-serving butthead may be more apt.

[Poiuyt]

18. I wonder what color the sky is in his universe?

My God, Bush is the most UN-compassionate person I've ever seen (next to Cheney)

[Solly Mack]

19. good thing I wasn't drinking or eating just now

[flakey_foont]

20. maybe in Bizarro World

Bizarro George, Bizarro Laura and Bizarro Dick

[eppur_se_muova]

21. That headline came close to making me hurl. Most disgusting ever. nt

[SammyWinstonJack]

22. So..he lies to himself as well as too us. And he seems to believe the lies

he tells himself. :wow: He thinks he is a compassionate person. :wow: :puke: He really should get out more and stop surrounding himself with zombie deluded admirers. There are so many who think he doesn't know the meaning of the word compassion/ate. He'd be surprised by that, I am sure.

[July]

23. Earth. To. Bush.

"We," meaning "you" already failed to keep "them," meaning "terrorists," from coming here and not just wanting to kill Americans but actually doing it. In several locations. All at once. While you had your thumb up your ass.

I'm sick to death of the people who closed their eyes to the warnings talking as if their record of supposedly protecting Americans doesn't include all of their tenure up to and including 9/11/01.

[sakabatou]

24. .

:puke:

Where the fuck does he come from? Bizzaro World?

[1620rock]

25. He must be high on crack now too.

[Wiley50]

26. Yeah. And I know the Name

and it isn't nice

[Initech]

27. I think I've figured out what a Bush Republican is:

Someone who completely shuts off and ignores all reality to the point where their opinions are the only ones that matter. Someone who is so deeply immersed in the mindset and political doctrine of a very insane and dangerous group of people that they will blindly follow the party line no matter what blurs the line between fiction and reality.

[Cha]

29. bush=LIAR

And :wtf:..he's lyin' now. I for one am getting repulsed by his lies and the corporatemedia who lets him skate..however they do that in his personal hell.

[SoCalDem]

30. That "name" is Asshole Lying Weasel n/t

[TZ]

31. compassionate my a*&^%$!

If you define compassion as caring only for rich white christian texas oil drilling fear mongering men with brainless trophy wives. Then you are very compassionate you dumb mf! What goes around comes around:spank:

[WI_DEM]

33. No, you made a name for yourself being a lying, cheating bastard

[WinkyDink]

34. Wouldn't the follow-up be: "Like HOW, Mr. President? EXAMPLES?"

He is certifiable.

[Marie26]

35. So he's insane now.

Good to know.

[smoogatz]

45. Is it?

Terrifying, if you ask me. But yeah, he's one crazy-ass white man. Holy shit.

[AnOhioan]

36. "I made a name...." Biggest BS line of the year

What an scumbag of a man

[TZ]

Don't worry I am sure

he will say somethin even more insane soon!
PS- I am truly sorry I have run out of hearts! You should get one on principle for being a Browns fan (as is my poor Dad..):) :) :)

[Midlodemocrat]

37. Shockingly, amazingly delusional.

[Saphire]

38. Hitler " I made my name by being sympathetic"

[Rydz777]

39. The great decider

He made another name by being the great decider, but it can't be repeated in polite society.

[Ghost in the Machine]

40. compassionate..... assinine... you know the dumbass confuses words

... just chalk it up as another bushism....

[quiet.american]

41. In the photo of him that HuffPo used, his eyes show nobody's home. Not a soul. n/t

[Marie26]

47. That's what freaks

me out about Bush. When you look in his eyes, there's no there there. Even Cheney has emotion in his eyes (usually anger or malice), but Bush just has that same flat stare. I really can't stand to look at him.

[HuffleClaw]

42. meep

just once i'd like to see a reporter ask him some REAL FUCKING questions.

[Straight Shooter]

43. Compassionate. Never was. Is not now. Never will be.

Liar. Always was. Is now. Always will be.

[Bobbie Jo]

48. He throws that out there....

Like nobody knows him or something. :shrug: Wow.

[Infomaniac]

49. The man is clearly off his rocker.

Nuts. Completely nuts.

[MacGregor]

51. I don't know about anyone else...

...but my cranium just turned completely inside-out.

[Swamp Rat]

52. He'll be known as:

"The president who made people from all over the globe want to come to the USA in order to kill Americans."




... 'the feller who came up from Texas' ... :eyes:

[OneBlueSky]

53. horses' ass . . . n/t

.

[Nickster]

54. Has anyone asked him if for a definition of compassion? I'm guessing he doesn't really know what the

word means.

[Doondoo]

55. K&R

[Ganja Ninja]

56. George, you inherited your name from your father.

You earned your reputation as a reckless, stupid, smirking, arrogant, imbecile. Your middle initial W will forever stand for "worst" as in "worst president ever". Compassion has no connection to you what so ever and is the last thing anyone associates with you.

[opihimoimoi]

57. The Social Bully has many traits....lying is among them...

[many a good man]

58. He's the Prince of Compassion

[Junkdrawer]

59. George, you and Babs may be the ONLY two people in the WORLD...

who will associate "George W. Bush" and "compassionate".

Oh, quite a few more will, if asked, SAY it, but only you and your mother would believe it.

[Glimmer of Hope]

60. One day he will get a clue when he is rotting in hell with the blood of thousands on his hands.

Delusional evil fu**er.

[The Backlash Cometh]

61. The man is delusional.

This is what happens when someone is allowed to be raised behind the gated community.

[PinkyisBlue]

62. "I made a name by being compassionate."

Only if he thinks the definition of compassionate is unsympathetic, callous and cruel (which he probably does).

[Cass]

63. He is really out to lunch. Compassionate conservatism - what a joke.

This man is quite possibly the least compassionate president we've had.

[elehhhhna]

64. His name is legion.

Crazy man lies about his LIES! Wow.

[badgerpup]

65. "I made a name by being compassionate."

Compassionate???
:wtf:

I don't think that means what you think it means.
