it was crap, he didnt promise to do anything really, what about tax cuts for the rich?why doesnt he give some to the poor. But about american using to much oil??? well what does he expect us to pay a fortune for a vehicle and then just let it sit around? The dude has problems and needs to get his priorities straight!

In that speech he was talking about new forms of energy so to reduce the USA's dependency on oil.  He mentioned a longer-life battery for electric cars.  But sinch Mr. Bush is largely a self-seeking fraud, it's hard to know what is true or not.  He's done nothing right so far.

I heard his radio show.....no whining, no crying. Nice interview with Lieberman.\nLike Bush said Republicans got a thumping...get up dust yourself off and focus on the future and issues of the country.

Oh, please.\n\nIf botched phraseology was that big a deal for politicians, Bush would have been impeached by now for his assault on the language.\n\nThe outcry against Kerry's sentiments - the valid points behind his comments - is nothing more than a pathetic, transparent attempt by the present administration and their cronies to yet again deflect, deflect, deflect attention from themselves and their failed policies.

It was great to hear a reasonable explanation for affairs to date. Isn't funny that president Clinton is informed and willing to talk about the affairs of the World. I watched Senator McCain this morning on Meet The Press, and he said George Bush was Stupid about the Relationship with President Putin from Russia. I about fell on the floor, he said he didn't agree or vote for Bush's policies all through Bush's terms. I know that that isn't true, but that's what was said.

Spent an hour on you tube this morning watching clips of Bushisms. Was some of the funniest things i've ever seen.\n\nWhen he said all Gyneacologists should be able to practice their "love" on the women of America, i swear i nearly p.issed myself.\n\nI would've thought that was illegal, even in America..\n\nLOL Maybe he waved in Braille.\n\nI think Jane l wants you. You smooth talker.

This reminds me of a Bobby Brown quote:\n\n"GEORGE BUSH IS A TERRORIST! (inaudible mumbling and noises follow)"\n\n\nTake it from the a great man like Bobby Brown and people with his mindset to know well.....anything.

He said something about if you study hard you do good but if you don't you get stuck in Iraq. What he was supposed to say is if you study hard you do good but if you don't you get us stuck in a war in Iraq. That's not the exact words but that's what he said.\nIt was supposed to be a joke on Bush. He later apologized to the troops, not to Bush I don't think. I hate it that Kerry stuck his foot in his mouth (but it happens); I like him.

I just saw it on TV. Actually, he said (and I paraphrase) "Your not going to ask questions with your shades on are you?" \n\nThen Bush stood there with his foot in his mouth. Looked like a real idiot

Bush cannot put two sentences, or even a whole sentence, together.  That much is true.\n\nHe ain't perfect.  But overall a better choice in my view.  Whatever.\n\nThe Kerry flap reminds me very much of the Trent Lott comment.  Said something on Strom Thurmond's 100th birthday.  (Thurmond ran as a segregationist for President in 1948.)  Lott said "heck, if you'da won maybe we wouldn'ta had all the problems we did."  Shocking - racist, hurtful, etc.  I was p*ssed.  There's NO way to make that right.\n\nBut I remember a strange thing happening.  People attacking Lott found another tape - he'd said the same thing in 1980!!!  But the Lott people said, that explains the comment, not makes it worse.  If someone introduced Thurmond in 1980 - a very bad time for the US economy, with an energy crisis, Soviets in Afghanistan and hostages in Iraq - and said "hey, y'all, here's Strom Thurmond, heck, maybe if he'da been prez-det we wouldn't be in the fix we're in now" - it DOES change the context.  But I still say SO WHAT?  The BEST spin you could put on it is that Lott was insensitive to say it in 1980, and was dumber than a fence post to repeat it in such a hurtful way in 2002!  No way would I credit Thurmond.  The gaffe was telling because it was a window into what people felt were Lott's thoughts anyway.\n\nMaybe something vaguely similar happened here.  Kerry muffed his lines.  Maybe.  And he has apologized, which has some value.  But the "mistake" so closely echoed prior statements he made about the troops - you know them as well as I do - that people wonder if he was sending "a signal" to his base or had otherwise made a telling Freudian slip.  And maybe some people thought even the best interpretation - trashing Bush and making him and the war the butt of a joke - was itself not much better, as Lott's comment wasn't much less insulting in 1980.\n\nAgain, Lott is a dope, and worse.  We saw something very UGLY come out of him.\n\nI'm not so sure the Kerry case is all that terribly different.\n\nI do know that if the shoe were on the other foot, we'd all feel different about the amount of scrutiny it got, and it would have been covered diffrerently in our favorite sources of news and commentary.  I'm not objective, but I'm honest!\n\nPS  These politicians are not too bright, and talk incessantly on autopilot.  They're also not used to every word they utter being picked up everywhere.\n\nI WILL say it (I just thought of this):  if you don't do all that well in school you might end up as a politician!!!\n\nI make plenty of money, and enjoy my anonymity.  I make more than I could in those jobs, certainly on an hourly basis.  Who needs it, if you can do better?  Sorry to be so cynical . . .

Carpe Diem and Viva la Independencia!\nIt's eight in the morning, I just got off work, and this Bud's for you!\n\nThis is the happiest I've been since, well, November 6, 2000, the day before the Bush Nightmare started.  \n\nI'd say celebrations are in order and WAAAAY overdue!\n\nJust think: in two years, two months, and one week, the evil lowlife bastard will be back in Crawford, unemployed, drunk, and smoking crack... just like he was before Daddy Warbucks bought him the governor's job.\n\nI look forward to the day the Smirking Baboon of Doom packs his bags and heads home.\n\nI wonder who he'll pardon in his last week?  You know damned well that all those Enron prikks will walk... makes me want to puke just thinking about it.  But at least HE'LL be gone!\n\nAnd the fun starts in just a little under two months!  I can't WAIT to see him start having those tantrums again!  It ought to be really good after the way he's been spoiled rotten for the last six years.  He'll be so bummed out he'll make Sally Struthers look like the Bluebird of Happiness.\n\nWork really sucked bad last night, but I laughed my @ss off for twelve straight hours.  And I still am.\nROTFLMFAO!!!!!

I would have thoroughly explained my case for the war, aggressively gone on the offense against the media, false allegations, treasonous activities, listened to my speech coaches, and made sure that my party was more cohesive and focused on the mission.\n\nYour #9 is flawed because Nagin and the state Governer passed the blame to Bush.  And  Nagin became elected again.  The man is a coward without any leadership abilities.  He was the authority to begin evacuations.  When he found his voice, he just whined.  He is also in the position to rebuild.  Has he completed this yet?  Is he still blaming Bush?  The governor had the jurisdiction to ask the federal government for assistance.  The governor froze.  She whined.  She blamed.  Local government failed your state's misplaced residents.  Blamining Bush rings hollow when you review the facts.\n\nI agree with your #s 1,2,6, and 8.  Thanks for laying them out.  I especially like your #6.\n\n#7 - with or against:  That statement was directed towards nations of the world.  Check the transcript.  It was the speech addressed to congress.  Many people in the US hate America.  It comes to no surprise that they took affront to Bush's stand.

I think that Iraq was on Mr. Bush's mind the day he took office.  On day one he put a target on Saddam's head and was ready to use any excuse to finish his daddy's job.\n\nHis father, however, knew the consequeces of a march on Bahgdad.  That is why we stopped short of Saddam in 91, we had a clean victory and Sr. quit while he was ahead.\n\nJr., however, wanted blood.  He was convinced that Saddam would one day become the next great tyrant.  Like Johnson in 64, Bush was ready to pounce at the first sign of any agression.  The perfect reason to declare open-ended war fell into his lap on an early september monday morning.\n\nIt has been reported that just hours after the planes hit Bush was heard asking his advisors if Iraq was involved.  He was asking very leading questions of his advisors, including donald rumsfeld, who both wanted to pin 9/11 on Saddam before the towers even hit the ground.\n\nBut some would say they were smart, they went for the easy win first.  They needed to prove to the public that America could lead a successful nation-building war.  Of course I wouldn't call Afghanistan rebuilt when 95% of their economy is from the sale of opiates (I am against prohibition, but Bush isn't).  Even today, after the supposed elections and overthrow of the taliban, the only way an afghan woman can make any kind of living is to work in the opium fields.\n\nWe all saw the buildup for war.  He and his messengers (condie, rumsfeld, right wing puppet congressmen) had us all believing that we were about to be nuked.  The sad thing is that the public at large bought right into it.  I must say he even got me wondering just what Mr. Saddam had up his sleeve.  I suppose that's why I was rather exited to watch the war on tv, I just wanted to see what this guy had.  I watched the sabre rattling in the weeks leading up to 'shock and awe'.  It was entertaining to watch these two morons square off.  I thought Saddam would have had more of a back bone though.  I expected to see a tienemen square scecne in Bahgdad, but right away I could tell once we entered the capitol that something was wrong.\n\nIf Bush had been right, I have no doubt that Saddam would have used those weapons on American soldiers.  But they never existed.  Just like the second attack at the gulf of Tonkin.  It never happened.  LBJ however did not lie himself, rather his advisors lied to him.  True, Johnson was willing and ready to pounce should a tit-for-tat oppertunity present itself.  He believed the second attack on a stranded US cruiser was just such an oppertunity.  His advisors knew of his willingness to decalre war and fed him intel that would lead him in that direction.  LBJ wanted to look strong on defence and strong against communism going into a tough 1964 election.  He knew that he would be judged to the standard of 'what would JFK have done?' in the public eye.  Once he had blindly acceped the attack as truth and declared war, it wasn't long before the conflict spiraled out of his control.  "For all I know, they're shooting at whales" Johnson said the next year about the war that was now out of his control.\n\nThe rhetoric leading upto Iraq was different.  The intel was 'misread' by everyone in the aministration, so either everyone is lieing or everyone is that dumb.  I think they were seeing what they wanted to see.  As soon as any intel came accross that would give a glimmer of hope to uniting the country behind a war surfaced, they took it as fact because they wanted to.  It suited their political end.\n\nI believe that this intel was also pressured out of the cia and nsa from the white house.  Bush pushed so hard for 'actionable intel' that people eventually told him what he wanted to hear.  This still continues as they try to quell the uprising.  The president is so desperate for information on both insurgents and al-queida (sp?) that he is willing to turn his back on the rest of

I'm not a republican or a democrat, I hate Bush, but was rather impressed with his concession speech.  He was rather graceful in defeat.  Maybe he should lose more often?
