"They didn't think we were a nation that could conceivably sacrifice for something greater than our self; that we were soft, that we were so self-absorbed and so materialistic that we wouldn't defend anything we believed in.

If there's any U.S.A left after Bush & his business associates (cronies/sycophants) are done trampling on our laws. He is clearly a puppet put to the forefront to distract from the pilfering, that is taking place, w/ his tacit approval; I might add. I only hope the country survives his christian corporation gov't

It's great fun. Here are some more statements:

"One of the most meaningful things that's happened to me since I've been the governor — the president — governor — president. Oops. Ex-governor."—George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., Jan. 9, 2004

"As you know, we don't have relationships with Iran. I mean, that's — ever since the late '70s, we have no contacts with them, and we've totally sanctioned them. In other words, there's no sanctions — you can't — we're out of sanctions." —George W. Bush, Annandale, Va, Aug. 9, 2004

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." —George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., Aug. 5, 2004

"President Musharraf, he's still tight with us on the war against terror, and that's what I appreciate. He's a — he understands that we've got to keep Al Qaeda on the run, and that by keeping him on the run, it's more likely we will bring him to justice." —George W. Bush, Ruch, Ore., Aug. 22, 2002

"I promise you I will listen to what has been said here, even though I wasn't here." —George W. Bush, speaking at the President's Economic Forum in Waco, Texas, Aug. 13, 2002

"I firmly believe the death tax is good for people from all walks of life all throughout our society." —George W. Bush, Waco, Texas, Aug. 13, 2002

"Bush is my shepherd, I shall be in want. He leadeth me beside the still factories, He maketh me to lie down on park benches, He restoreth my doubts about the Republican party, He guideth me onto the paths of unemployment for the party's sake. I do fear the evildoers, for thou talkst about them constantly. Thy tax cuts for the rich and thy deficit spending They do discomfort me. Thou anointeth me with never-ending debt, And my savings and assets shall soon be gone. Surely poverty and hard living shall follow me, And my jobless children shall dwell in my basement forever."

You found one there I didn't have. But in the words of Big Brother:
"Threatening behavious is not tolerated in the Big Brother House!"
I wonder how long Bush would last on the show?

that's right, the american voting populus cannot even pronounce half the words bush has creatified.

tortured syntax of the order reported is actualy symptomatic, a pathology of a physiological disorder, and as such is not funny.

plus, let us support bias only when it suits a particular agenda then...

as for your invoking the ideals of fabrication and relative validity, and the consequences thereof, i think colin powell and the flock of insiders who jumped ship would readily agree...

"republican mothers for the draft"

-rarely is the question asked, is our children learning?

I've been busy researching more speeches and will upload some more soon. Also to prove that all of this is bona fide, I'll be giving you all details of how you can listen to the speeches on audio. You can just about hear the series of blunders and misunderestimations, above the background noise of wild applause.
