Rush to war. Rush to amend the Constitution...
... Why does George W. Bush always seem to get in such a hurry as elections approach?

He could have waited until after the 2002 election to push for war with Iraq. Instead, he made the election about the war.

Bush could have waited for the United Nations inspectors to finish their task, but instead he fired up the American people with talk about Saddam's great, Hitler-like evil, his nucular (sic) weapons, and his support of terrorists "including Al Qaeda." Then he rushed us into war to show he meant business. (It turned out to be a business without a business plan, of course, but that's Dubya.)

Now Bush is in a hurry again. He wants to amend the Constitution, and he wants it now.

We've been here before, though. We know that election years put him in an all-fired hurry to do things that divide and raise discord in the country. We aren't falling for the demagoguery this time.

2. It reminds me of the sign behind a friend's desk...
"Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part."

More on topic- the bozo hasn't ever planned anything in his life- he has never had to think ahead or look at alternatives.

Why start now?
