His last speech today gives those backers of his the fits. Even Texans are

[opihimoimoi]

finding it difficult to defend Bush. He evades questions with distractive off the wall answers which turn out to be non answers.

Bush Backers are getting kinda pissed here. Starting to get turned off.

Many are considering heresy by going with NADER...the ultimate Irony....

1. The House of Cards that is GWB may topple at any time

Their faith in him is like a religion, but sometimes faith can only go so far.

[opihimoimoi]

2. House of Cards? "Its not only windy but the flood is getting higher""

[BeFree]

3. Ya gotta love it

His handlers must have figured that he must go on stage and deliver his personal touch.

Thing is, his handlers don't make up the audience and not everyone goes gaga over the naked chimp.

Let's hope the chimp thinks he's doing great and demands more stage time!

[opihimoimoi]

6. LOL, No shit, I say, "Bring him ON" More air time...

[BeFree]

11. Bring him ON, LOL

The nation is clamoring for his wit and wisdom.<cough>

Everybody wants to talk with him and get to know him a little better. They will all be quite amazed when they do.

Bring him ON!

[Cleita]

4. There are many disillusioned Republicans out there.

I met a few last Saturday when I was precinct walking. I'm walking again tomorrow. Stay tuned. I'm sure after these speeches, there will be more disillusioned Republicans out there. Incidentally, the woman who is canvassing leader registered from Republican to Democrat to support Dennis Kucinich in the primaries. Now that is a switch! I suspect though that she was a RINO. She's much too liberal in her thinking to be a conservative.

[alarimer]

14. I know a few also

This woman who works in the office next door to mine has always been a "My President right or wrong kind of Republican" told my boss (who hates Bush) that she isn't sure who she will vote for now. So I am thinking that the Kerry might have a bigger lead than the polls indicate.

[Kipepeo]

5. I know some Republicans who are voting Nader

as a "protest" vote. They're pissed at Bush but can't stomach voting for a Democrat, so deep is their hatred.

[Cleita]

7. I've kinda thought Nader is going to be a thorn in the Reps. side

this time around. :-)

[GreenPartyVoter]

8. I hope that's his plan. *g* Be Ross Perot this time.

[Kipepeo]

10. I think so too.

I mean, I definitely think he will take more left votes than right... BUT not as many left votes as last time and MORE right votes than they're anticipating.

[opihimoimoi]

9. Ed Zachery

Nader will beat Bush if this keeps up.....Bwahahahahahaha

[Hubert Flottz]

12. They'll kick Nader out of the country club!

If he causes the Chimp from Hell to lose!

The pie looks like it ain't gettin' any higher for Prince Rootin' Tootin'! The Stock market is crashing but Shrub thinks everything is dandy! Do that tell you anything? Whatever shrub is poppin', huffin', puffin', snortin', shootin' or drinkin' is working for him, because he has totally escaped realiity! Or is it that reality totally escapes him?

[opihimoimoi]

13. Being from ToonsTown, "W"abbit has no concept of REALITY

DOW heading for 8000 and the investors are PISSED. Wabbit still don git it, thinks Randy Damdy right around the corner.....
Gatta be on somethin or has them big holes in the brain from some shit he used awhile back.... oh well, not my brain....

Maybe he can rent one from BRAINS R US?

Before he has a meltdownnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.......(drain)

[Bernardo de La Paz]

24. Encourage Republicans to vote Nader or Libertarian or stay home

Encourage Republicans to vote Nader or Libertarian or stay home. It is an easier sell than trying to make them switch.

If they stay home, it also helps the rest of the Democratic ticket.

[Nevernose]

15. Sorry -- misread the original post

[Cat Atomic]

16. I hope the name Bush carries the same stigma as the name Nixon.

Here's to hoping that little brood of wannabee aristocrats spends the rest of their existence drinking and sniffing coke.

[opihimoimoi]

18. Banishment is not out for an OPTION.......Please, let it be the Big Ban

[Bernardo de La Paz]

25. Yes, Bush is most like the worst of Nixon. Nix the Bush would-be dynasty

Yes, Bush is most like the worst of Nixon. Paranoid, fights dirty, law and order fixation. None of the good qualities (geopolitical knowledge, creation of the EPA). Nix the Bush would-be dynasty. No Jebs in 2008, no third generations later. Please.

[NewJeffCT]

37. I think somebody said about Bush v Nixon

The Bush gang there now makes Nixon's gang look like a bunch of college pranksters.

Unfortunately, the media was a lot fairer and more open back then, instead of in the RW's pocket.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

26. Browser fade, duplicate post

Browser fade. Duplicate post.

[Octafish]

17. LMFAO! IN A ROOMFULL OF REPORTERS!

The Little Turd from Crawford showed the "professsshional" people who "need me to get a message" out for ways to help Amurka find out what it takes to he'p the'selves show how I'm agin' quotas but affirm legacy non-action 'bout let me finish. Let me finish. Thank you. Next quesssschun?

[opihimoimoi]

19. He lost it, I friggen saw that..."Lemme finish shitting, lemme finish shit

ting"

The dude was out of his Realm and it showed....

They were fighting to keep from laughing their guts out......

[jab105]

20. Sorry, I cant believe this...I think its wishful thinking...

do you remember his press conference...I was laughing so hard, I could not believe how completely out of it he was during that...

I was positive that he would drop to almost nothing in the polls, but it didn't happen...people saw it, and liked?? it...thought he sounded like a regular guy...

Heck, that there President don't know nutin' about politics, he's just like me...YEAH BUSH!!

Sorry, ON THEORY I agree with you completely, but most people seem to think that having a beer with someone is more important than having a smart and wellinformed leader...I don't get it, I cant explain it...but it is the reality of the situation!

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

21. See, I'd rather have a beer with JK too. And go windsurfing. Or whatever

[opihimoimoi]

22. I buy the beer, Tony Roma Ribs, and lobsters

[UnityDem]

28. Yes, He hates all the

right people. Good ole Christian who knows who he's supposed to like and who he's supposed to hate. terra terra terra!

[radfringe]

23. Bush renames 'war on terrorism

Bush renames 'war on terrorism
a href="http://www.news24.com/News24/World/News/0,,2-10-1462_1569423,00.html

---snip--

"We actually misnamed the 'war on terror.' It ought to be 'the struggle against ideological extremists who do not believe in free societies and who happen to use terror as a weapon to try to shake the conscience of the free world,'" he said in a speech.

=================

Next - Bush re-sloganizes his slogan. "..turned the corner and not going back" will be now known as "a 90 degree rotation to a point of perpendicularity and refusing to proceed to a 180 degree inversed direction..."

[MetaTrope]

33. But, but...

"We actually misnamed the 'war on terror.' It ought to be 'the struggle against ideological extremists who do not believe in free societies and who happen to use terror as a weapon to try to shake the conscience of the free world,'" he said in a speech.

Isn't this what a whole lot of Americans believe the White House is doing?

[SammyWinstonJack]

41. Sure seems like it.

"Now watch this drive."

[WindRavenX]

27. Bush cannot speak without a TelePrompter

I am seriously wondering how on earth he is going to handle the debates.

[NightOwwl]

29. I'm sure as we speak, Karl Rove is figuring out

many ways to keep Bush out of the debates.

[WindRavenX]

30. Bush has to debate

Not debating would look so godawful to the American public...there is no doubt Rove is trying to limit the debates to one or two; whereas Kerry wants 3 or more.

[NightOwwl]

31. I hope you are right about the the American public.

They didn't even blink when Bush had to have puppet-master Cheney by his side at the 9/11 hearings.

[WindRavenX]

32. The debates are PRIME-TIME

IIRC, the coverage of the 9/11 committee was not shown during prime-time...and coverage was embedded during (from what I saw) the Nightly World News and such. In other words, sound bites.
With the debates, all networks will be covering it LIVE.
Bush is one fucked chimp.

[murielm99]

36. The same way the covered the convention LIVE?

Will they limit the coverage on the debates? Will they cut in and out to the talking heads?

Will we end up watching things on C-Span again?

I wonder....

The media whores will do anything to help *

[NewJeffCT]

38. Are you kidding? Bush will kill Kerry in the debates

Bush will win people over with his folksy plain talk and platitudes, while Kerry's long-winded fact-based answers will turn people off and make people feel he is an out of touch intellectual.

Gore was known as a master debater going in to the 2000 debates with Bush, as Gore had crushed Kemp & Perot previously. Bush's expectations were so low that when he didn't come across as Jack Nicholson at the end of the Shining, he was declared the winner.

(and, yes, I know Gore beat Bush on substance, but image is everything!)

[opihimoimoi]

39. He tried the friendly folksy mode with the speech at the Journalists for

minorities rgw other day and got creamed.

Live chat don do him well

[Cat Atomic]

40. No matter what Bush does, the pundits will call him the winner.

They'll talk about shallow bullshit like body language and "image". They'll completely ignore substance (or the lack of it).

They'll guard their tax cuts like rabid little mongrels.

[VolcanoJen]

34. Chimpy's against the wall. Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

Put him in front of the freshly energized, pressured and campaign-headline motivated media, and he crumbles like a Girl Scout Cookie.

Avoid the newly-scrutinizing media entirely, and earn their wrath in response to your general snub.

Oh, bring on the debates, indeed!

[opihimoimoi]

35. The off the wall comments and weak attempt at humor flip flopped badly

and he ended up looking weak and foolish.

MBA Yale? Yeah...right.... no way did he earn his sheepskin.
