bush just announced at his press conference that they will win midterms

[still_one]

because they count the votes

[BlooInBloo]

1. Really. He said exactly that? Got a link? Got a quote? Thanks!

[DesertRat]

4. it's on live right now.

He said that just a couple of minutes ago.

[BlooInBloo]

12. Wowzers.

[still_one]

6. the question was that the polls show the repukes having problems

in the midterms. What he said is they said the same thing about 2004, and we showed them

[DesertRat]

2. and he said don't believe the polls

He says he remembers people saying he wouldn't win in 2004. "I can't remember, I was probably down double digits at some point."
Moran!

3. They do count the votes,

the republican ones.

[kentuck]

5. Ne said, "because they have a record to run on..."

Yeah! You sure do asshole!

[dave29]

20. and that record... is scratched

stuck on repeat

[Philosoraptor]

7. heck they told me i was gonna lose twice!

[Virginia Dare]

8. Wow, he's feeling cocky today isn't he....

I'm surprised he didn't say they'd win because he's the decider...

[No DUplicitous DUpe]

9. He really meant "we better win the mid-terms or I'm toast.."

[DesertRat]

10. * just said "hard work" twice

too bad it's too early for a drinking game. :evilgrin:

[msongs]

13. "The enemy has an advantage...

...because they can get on our TV screens everyday." Now going off on a diatribe about why we need to stay in Iraq. Ooo, now his voice is getting more shrill, he's getting ticked with the questions about the war. He's ready for a "I am a decider" moment.
:popcorn:

[lpbk2713]

14. That could be. They count some of em two or three times.

[MadHound]

15. Well, given the Republican ownership of the voting machines

And their ability to carry out voting scandals, he's probably correct. I hate to be a bummer, but despite all of this talk about a Democratic landslide in November, we are still dogged by the same problems that we had 2, 4, and 6 years ago. Rigged voting machines, republican operatives disenfranchising Democratic voting populations, and a seeming unwillingness to expose this corruption to the country.

Until there are fair, clean elections, Democrats are going to continue to lose. And the more we lose, the more these deciets become entrenched in our society, and the less likely they'll be exposed to the light of day.

16. Most. Partisan. President. Ever

In my 58 years of observing Presidencies, I have never seen anything like this one. The Office of the Presidency which Bush claims to revere so much, should not be partisan. Would someone be so kind as to tell that idiot that he is supposed to be President of all the people, not just rich Republicans.

As usual, the Press did not call him on it. I can not imagine any other President slamming the other party in a new conference like Bush did--going on and on about how Democrats will raise taxes if they are in power.

17. Just said "Iraq's a dangerous place". 3x in a row. n/t

[still_one]

18. saw no parallel between iraq and viet nam

why, he said because they have an elected government

what a jerk

[shance]

19. Absolutely. As Americans sit back in denial and 'think positive'.

n/t

[Thickasabrick]

21. Free campaign advertising? Why isn't there a law preventing

this....it's just wrong.

[DesertRat]

22. Terra Terra Terra

Pull out of Iraq and America won't be safe. Remembers Sept. 11. "Don't count on us leaving before the mission is complete."
"I'm onna keep talking about it!" Getting mad again.

[DesertRat]

23. Ended with mantra about Iraq

"It's necessary, it's worth it and we will succeed!"

No matter how many we kill! :argh:
