I'd vote for Bush again if I could, just to piss off the liberals that have hijacked A2K.
reelect a dickhead who doesn't care any more about you than he does about a liberal... that'll show us.....you're the perfect bush demographic...
Actually Bear, he wasn't my first choice. I just don't like the obvious anti-American, anti-Christian trash that has taken over the Democratic party.
And I don't even go to church!

Bush ... "We want the ones we can fool ALL the time". I think that pretty well sums it up ...

That is a different debate. You have claimed that Bush lied, I have asked for one single example, and so far you haven't provided one. I will be happy to debate other matters once we are finished debating whether Bush lied.
Bush was caught in a whopper today when he said that he had never connected Saddam Hussein and 9-11. Just about every talking head on CNN & MSNBC have pointed out this lie. Not only did he do it a number of times but the one that stands out is when he used it in his state of the union speech.
Bush can't open that ugly pie hole without lying.
..."You remember when [Secretary of State] Colin Powell stood up in front of the world, and he said Iraq has got laboratories, mobile labs to build biological weapons....They're illegal. They're against the United Nations resolutions, and we've so far discovered two.* And we'll find more weapons as time goes on, But for those who say we haven't found the banned manufacturing devices or banned weapons, they're wrong. We found them." (italics ours) --WP, "Bush: 'We Found' Banned Weapons. President Cites Trailers in Iraq as Proof, " May 31, 2003
*At the time of this statement, no such weapons were found, and no such weapons have been found to this day. On this point as well as the use of the captured trailers as biolabs, the WP said this in the above article: "U.S. authorities have to date made no claim of a confirmed finding of an actual nuclear, biological or chemical weapon. In the interview, Bush said weapons had been found, but in elaborating, he mentioned only the trailers, which the CIA has concluded were likely used for production of biological weapons." There was no statement of fact, there was no smoking gun. The CIA's finding was advanced as an opinion based on its own particular process of elimination, and it was immediately challenged by both U.S. and U.K. intelligence analysts who had seen the trailers. --Politex, 08.09.03 (italics ours)
Now comes this..."Engineering experts from the Defense Intelligence Agency have come to believe that the most likely use for two mysterious trailers found in Iraq was to produce hydrogen for weather balloons rather than to make biological weapons, government officials say.
The classified findings by a majority of the engineering experts differ from the view put forward in a white paper made public on May 28 by the C.I.A. and the Defense Intelligence Agency, which said that the trailers were ["likely used"] for making biological weapons....
The State Department's intelligence branch, which was not invited to take part in the initial review, disputed the findings in a memorandum on June 2. The fact that American and British intelligence analysts with direct access to the evidence were disputing the claims included in the C.I.A. white paper was first reported in June, along with the analysts' concern that the evaluation of the mobile units had been marred by a rush to judgment." --NYT, 08.09.03

"I don't believe anyone that I know in the administration ever said that Iraq had nuclear weapons."
?Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, at a hearing of the Senate's appropriations subcommittee on defense, May 14, 2003
"We believe he has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons."
?Vice President Dick Cheney on NBC's Meet the Press, March 16, 2003
I learned as a child that liars must have good memories. Bush and Rummy are liars with no credibility for truth. They've been caught too many times with lies. Only like people support liars.
Maggie,
You're hilarious! Good reposte'
I especially like the one where he's sodomizing the dog ... I'm afraid that will probably make McG jealous

Please enlighten us: What did Bush say in his State of the Union speech that asserted a direct connection between Saddam and 9/11?
Tico's game of what Bush said or didn't say during his SOU is as fraudulent as most of his assinuations. He seems to continue his play on language, but any ten year old would know better.
By Linda Feldmann | Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor
WASHINGTON - In his prime-time press conference last week, which focused almost solely on Iraq, President Bush mentioned Sept. 11 eight times. He referred to Saddam Hussein many more times than that, often in the same breath with Sept. 11.
Bush never pinned blame for the attacks directly on the Iraqi president. Still, the overall effect was to reinforce an impression that persists among much of the American public: that the Iraqi dictator did play a direct role in the attacks. A New York Times/CBS poll this week shows that 45 percent of Americans believe Mr. Hussein was "personally involved" in Sept. 11, about the same figure as a month ago
Tico, You should know better, but I don't expect honesty from you. Your fraud may fly with some on a2k, but people like you are poison to this country.
I appreciate your willingness to step in, c.i., but I'm still waiting on Magginkat's response with regard to her statement: "... but the one that stands out is when he used it in his state of the union speech."
......
unnhhhhhh-huhh!
"the president demonstrates with
this pooch what he's been doing to the country for years now".
On Thursday in Cincinnati, Ohio, Cheney described Saddam as a "man who provided safe harbor and sanctuary to terrorists for years" and who "provided safe harbor and sanctuary as well for al Qaeda."

Cheney Drops Incendiary Remark
By James Gerstenzang, Times Staff Writer
1:30 PM PDT, September 9, 2004
CINCINNATI -- Vice President Dick Cheney stepped back today from the inflammatory language he used two days ago to describe the consequences of the presidential elections, but, ignoring the findings of the commission that investigated the Sept. 11 attacks, he said that Saddam Hussein had given "safe haven" to Al Qaeda.
