THE 2004 ELECTION WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS THE MOST BULL CRAP ELECTION IN HISTORY.  EVEN REPUBLICANS WEREN'T TRYING TO KEEP BUSH.  ONLY HIS KGB PUPPETMASTERS (WHO GOT KERRY TO RUN A "SKULL & BONES" CAMPAIGN) GOT HIM IN.\n\nQUESTION:  DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT THE GOOFY SON OF A GOOF, GOT MORE VOTES THAN REAGAN?

funny but as per his usual reaction to saying something stupid he of course flip-flopped and said what he meant to say was bush was stupid and uneducated (didn't bush go to Yale and actually got better grades than Kerry !) i guess with Kerry and Edwards we have to be mind readers too and guess at what they might mean...scary thought to have to get inside those two brains.

it's just part of his fuzzy math...what a hypocrite that guy is, huh?  too bad someone can only be president for 8 years, otherwise he could completely finish the job of running America straight into the ground.  But I give him credit for trying his hardest to do it within the 8 years allotted him.  Bravo, lil Georgie.  Dadda is proud of lil Georgie.  Well, maybe you can get a job with Halliburton then your worries will be fewer.

It's about time.  But, his ratings have plummeted along Bush's and he needs to come clean or they will beat him up over there more than they already have.  Bush's "lap poodle" has made the other turn around about admitting to the disaster of Global Warming, so maybe he "got  religion."  If we had such candor here it would be refreshing, but that is only coming  from democrats  and conservatives like Bill Buckley who calls this war "lunacy."  But, Bush and Cheney are not interested in what we think, nor do they care.  They are sailing along with their plan for the plunder of  Iraq and the US Treasury, and it will only end when  he leaves office and all of Halliburton's contracts expire.

You really have to shake your head at the oh-so-obvious spin going on here - his first excuse was that the comment was directed at Bush, and now we're supposed to believe it was a joke. Get your story straight before firing up the damned spin!

Um he's reading the Time magazine article that he gave a link to. Also see Drudgereport.com??\n\nI think its a long time coming, but I am curious of the timing ony because what stopped them from charging him 6 months ago? Were they waiting for the election to be over with?

I like inside jokes. Too bad his inside jokes were only inside his mind. No one laughed. That had to be a very uncomfortable position for Bush to be in. The only people in the room were the reporters, Rumsfeld, Gates, and Bush. Dick Cheney, and not even Laura showed up. That had to be unsettling too. \nBTW. I wonder where Cheney is these last few days. Maybe on a bender. Did he cut and run too? Probably went Lame Duck hunting.\nI just learned that Mehlman just resigned as the leader of the RNC. Gosh, who will leave next? Any Bets?\nAnyway, the last six years has taught me that ANYONE off the street could become president and do no worse than Bush.

Bush is a moron and Rummy is a pompous prick! I think that if anyone knows anything about how to properly fight a war it would be the Generals who consider Rummy unfit for the job. It's obvious that he (Rummy) is incompetent, look at what has been going on in Iraq.

No one who has that high of a job is EVER fired.  If it comes to it (I hope so) Bush will "ask" for Rummy's resignation.  In the event he doesn't give it to him, he'll be fired.  But "getting fired" doesn't happen to the big whigs in Washington.

He can't help it. He has a 91 IQ like most of his followers!!\n\n"Well, I quit drinking in '86." \n—Bush, when asked whether, as he embarked on his second four-year term, he saw ghosts of past presidents. (C-SPAN interview, Jan. 30, 2005) \n\nBut the press has footage of him drunk on his as_!!!\n\n_________________________________________________\n\n"Gosh, I just don't think I ever said I'm not worried about Osama bin Laden. It's kind of one of those exaggerations."\n—Bush, during the final presidential debate, attempting to refute Kerry’s claim that the president boasted he was not concerned about Osama bin Laden. \n\n"So I don't know where he is. You know, I just don't spend that much time on him... We haven't heard much from him. And I wouldn't necessarily say he's at the center of any command structure. And, again, I don't know where he is. I- I'll repeat what I said. I truly am not that concerned about him."\n—Bush, answering a question about Osama bin Laden at a March 13, 2002 news conference.\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n"And as a result of the United States military, Taliban no longer is in existence."\n—Bush, demonstrating a weak grasp on reality at a campaign stop in Springfield, Ohio on Sept. 27, 2004. \n\n___________________________________________________\n\n"I don't speak ill of anybody in the process here. I think if you went back and looked at my comments, you will see I don't attack." \n—Bush, in the same interview. (The Washington Post reported on Feb. 20 that the Bush re-election campaign will spend "tens of millions of dollars" on a negative ad campaign focusing on the likely Democratic nominee, Sen. John Kerry.) \n__________________________________________________\n\n"We hold dear what our Declaration of Independence says, that all have got uninalienable rights, endowed by a Creator."\nSource: The New York Times, "Reporter's Notebook; Skipping Borders, Tripping Diction," David E.

Department of Energy officials, who monitor nuclear plants, say the tubes could not be used for enriching uranium. One intelligence analyst, who was part of the tubes investigation, angrily told The New Republic: "You had senior American officials like Condoleezza Rice saying the only use of this aluminum really is uranium centrifuges.

Sold to Italian intelligence by some hustler, the document carried the signature of an official who had been out of office for 10 years and referenced a constitution that was no longer in effect. The ex-ambassador who the CIA sent to check out the story is pissed: "They knew the Niger story was a flat-out lie," he told the New Republic, anonymously. "They [the White House] were unpersuasive about aluminum tube

how low can we go? Bush and Cheney are monsters. How much more can the national debt soar? How many lies can he tell?  Is there another oil-rich country that we can invade? Is Osama Bin Laden still virtually unscathed from his horrendous attack on our country? How many of our young people are going to Iraq? How many will come home? How much richer can the rich get? How much poorer can the poor get? It is a sad state of affairs when our people are out priced at the gas pumps, and it is only going to get worse. These are tip of the iceberg questions, but suffice it to say that there is not a number that goes low enough. He will spend his remaining tenure in office seeing just how much his constituency can stand before reaching point break. I am already there, but I can proudly say that I did not vote for this monster, or for his ass clown father.

How could Rice  run for president in 08, she will be in prison, or is Bush going to spring her and his other cronies on his last day!  Not if he's locked up too. Yahoo!

His ratings were very high at the end of '01.  However, they are not currently anywhere near that level.  He may well end his tenure having experienced both the highest and lowest approval ratings in history.

Please read all of what I wrote.  I was you 6 months ago.\n\nLet’s get beyond political loyalties for a sec.  hang your political hat at the door so to speak.\n\nThe Down Jones is up.  Unemployment is really low.  Great economy. 9-11 hit the economy bad and it has recovered well.  Most of the airlines are on their way up.  When I gave up my business to go back to school I officially can be considered in the “poor” category but I am making money in the market just like you.    \n\nI am a conservative.  Despite what Rush Limbaugh says everything politicians say is meaningless.  Their main goal is to get in power.  Playing the blame game allows the guys we agree with to get a free ride when they do mess up sometimes.  The blame game is what allows crappy politicians get in power or bad ones to stay there.  Look at the last elections.  Who knows how many democrats and republicans got into power that didn’t deserve it.  We are so poisoned with hate against each other that we fight to the death over people we don’t even know.  \n\nIf Clinton ran as a republican you would probably like his policy.  That is how good politicians are at turning us against each other.  They have over two centuries of examples to draw off.  \n\nI think Clinton was a good president.  Forget their parties for a second.  Clinton was more conservative than Bush.  Our ‘conservative’ congress was not conservative.  Forget your own political loyalties for a second and look at your philosophical loyalties.  You should enjoy the good that happens in this country no matter what party brings it about.  This is the USA I want there to be a great economy under all presidents and I wont let MSNBC or FOX tell me what to think.  There are many bitter bitter politicians and newsmen out there.  Forget that nonsense.  Let’s get technical.  Clinton minimized the size of govt.  He balanced the budget and had our military engaged in covert opps in Afghanistan and other places.  He had his bungling yes but they were small covert opps.  He was hunting the terrorists not policing their hometowns.  He had a task force in place to get Bin’ Laden.  It didn’t get him by the end of his term though.  That task force was dismantled when bush got in office.  He thought it was a political move from Clinton.\n\nDue to a lack of political ammo politicians attacked his sex life.  The man is a perv no doubt and should have been punished for lying under oath...  But his fiscal policy was sound.\n\nGeorge W Bush may be a great guy but has not acted as a normal conservative should.  He reduced taxes yes... but he increased federal spending and reduced civil rights at the same time... that is not conservatism.\n\nI vote conservative.  Sometimes that is not Republican.  I try and be true to my beliefs not people whom I don’t know.

Hmmm,  maybe this will clarify matters. After the 2004 election a bunch of Republicans started getting 'uppity,' they  defied Bush denouncing him as a lame-duck President out of touch with the Republican Party.  Bush butted heads with many of them and proclaimed a 'stay the course' policy loudly yelping that Rumsfield would stay on to the end of Bush's second term.  'Angry' voters turned against the Republicans, many of them the very same ones who had challenged Bush's power.  The 'Democrats' seized power.  But here is the amusing part.  The Democrats are not unified, many have their eyes on winning the Presidency in 2008, which truly scrambles ones loyalty.  Guess who these leaderless Democrats will have to turn to?   Yep, Geo W......    I loathe the smarmy rat and his evil puppet master Karl Rove but they are true political geniuses.  And do note, Rumsfield left on schedule, After the Election, after his presence scuttled several Republican's chances to win.   And who was one of the winners, newly independent Bush buddy Joe Lieberman....\n Bush scored big on November 7th and slowly it will dawn on political pundits.   (Actually Dan Rather has already figured it out )\n\nPeace...

Let's get one thing straight.  He did not "resign".  Bush asked him to leave.  In all of the previous calls for his resignation, he had said that he serves at the pleasure of the President.  That said, it's not a cut-and-run.  It gives the American people and the American government a fresh start-someone who can lead the war effort without having to worry about what the American people will think.  Rummy will always be blamed for anything that goes wrong with the war, so now it's time for someone who can honestly say, "I wasn't the one who was running it from the beginning, I just want to get the job done, and as quickly as possible.  I don't want to dwell on any possible mistakes; the past is the past, and this is what we have to get through."
