What a waste of DNA, believe me like Hitler, Bush has no regard for the American people.

I can't believe that Bush has the balls to go out in the middle of an economic meltdown and urge the continuation of the same insane policies that got us into the mess in the first place.

totally agree with you.
yup, the economy is going down the tubes... but congress needs to make his tax policy permanent?

Isn't there some kind of policy that's supposed to keep presidents from campaigning for their party nominee?

i believe they are not supposed to use the White House or Gov't resources to campaign for someone. sooooooo he just happens to be holding these press comferences in OH and VA. but with his approval rating approaching his IQ level, I doubt he will be of much help.

Not to mention the--what is it?--$56,800-per-hour it costs the taxpayers to fly Air Force One so Bush can campaign and fundraise for McFraud and Bible Spice? Sounds fair to me.

NO RULES OR LAWS APPLY TO THE REPBTHUGS! NOT NOW AND NOT EVER! This man deserved impeachment and conviction. He's still walking free and that is a miscarraige of justice.

This is Bush's away of having the U.S. taxpayers pay for the campaign. He did it in 2004 as well. He would tie in an "official" speech and then dart from the cameras to a private residence for a fundraiser.

until this country becomes 'one person, one vote'... it isn't a true democracy.
just look what happened in 2000.
fostert
· 1 year ago
Umm, yes, we are part of the electorate. And we've been the losing part of it for too long. And the only way for us to become the winning part of it is to recognize that there are people who don't always agree with us, but are willing to vote for us. The way to achieve that is super boring, but it has to be done. It's simple: we must convince them that we are capable of running a responsible government. Bill Clinton did that and won. And he helped us long term. People look back and say: "you know, we had it pretty good during Clinton." We need to do that again. And the Us vs Them strategy doesn't get us there.

NO, I didn't pick Nixon, Ford,Reagan,Bushes, and alot of other repugs. The last 28 years has seen the country become more conservative (stupid) and I am not part of that movement. Never will be.

What do you mean "we" Fostert? I didn't vote for this bastard, either in 2000 and definately not in 2004. And as a Christian, I saw through Bush's BS at 500 yards, because true Christians do not act like Bush and they damn sure do not act like Sarah Palin.
If you voted for this bastard, you got the government you deserve. PERIOD.

fostert: Let's be very clear on the " we " word you used. ONLY those fools who voted for Bush in 2004 made the " wrong choice". Half of the voting public made the correct choice. You would be dismayed at how many of these fools will vote for McSame in 2008. They, like Bush, cannot ever admit being wrong.

Why would you want Bush campaigning for you? Yeah, he polls slightly above Than Shwe, but that ain't exactly a good benchmark. Let's put it this way, Ahmadinejad stands exactly zero chance of being reelected, but even he's more popular than Bush.

Oh no. The Supreme leader runs Iran, so it really doesn't matter. But the Supreme Leader's health is in question, so we'll get whoever Rafsanjani wants next. That may not be so bad. Rafsanjani is the quintessential panderer. So maybe the next Supreme Leader will be reasonable. But anything can happen in Iranian politics. It's important that the next US president engage Iran in way that pushes them in the right direction. Here's a hint: Bomb, Bomb, Bombing Iran isn't the answer.

If Bush had an ounce of decency he'd be ashamed to appear in public.....or at least be apologizing to the American people for the disasters he wrought.

But, Grandma, that's just IT. Bush really doesn't think he's done nothing wrong.
And he will walk away from it, just like he's walked away from mess he's always left behind for someone else to clean up.

James Wolcott:
"I don't want the Republican Party simply defeated in November, I want to see it smashed beyond all recognition, in such wriggling, writhing, anguished disarray that it can barely reconstitute itself, so desperate for answers that it looks to Newt Gingrich for visionary guidance, his wisdom and insight providing the perfect cup of hemlock to finish off the conservative movement for good so that it can rot in the salted earth of memory unmissed and unmourned in toxic obscurity."
That is what I wish for, as well! I dream of the day this happens.

I put this in a response below--but let's also keep in mind that USA Today estimates that it costs the taxpayers $56800 per hour to fly Bush to campaign for McCain and go to RNC fundraisers. And that's in 2004 dollars, by the way...

Even if McCain admits it, what difference would it make? Here is a president with one of the lowest approval ratings, ever recorded, campaigning? I think it hurts McCain more than helps. It certainly helps Obama to push the McCain/Bush connection.

SNEAKY IS AS SNEAKY DOES: BUSH IS CLEARLY CAMPAIGNING FOR HIS STOOGE_STAND-IN BUT IS HIDING IT AS A SUBTERFUGE EVENT. Yesterday, Ohio and today Virginia. How many with eyes and a brain will be fooled by this SHAM EVENT? The " STEALTH CAMPAIGNER" for the " INCOMPETENT CANDIDATE. What a combination to HIDE. PALIN, also is in hiding from the press. So much to HIDE.

Did you notice that Bu$h was in front of a VERY FRIENDLY audience who cheered loudly and giggled at all his stupid snarky comments? The audience and campaign event was a Potemkin village. Everyone who asked a question asked something along the lines of, "Mr. President, you are my life long hero and I'd like to know which ass cheek I can kiss or both ass cheeks?" I mean it was THAT BAD! THEN, afterwards, the newsreaders acted as if he did a good job by reacting to the hand selected Republican audience. It was truly sickening.

New Obama ad on McCain's attempts to change the subject.
I can't believe Bush would dare enter OHIO!!! That state is f***'d up thanks to his criminal deviance on both a national and international level! His thugs even rigged the Ohio 2004 election. The proof keeps emerging. Hence, they fire the honest U.S. Attorneys, pronto!
And how corrupt do those "lawyers" have to be to welcome him when he's well known, even by the ABA, as an abomination to everything the U.S. Constitution represents?
"Conservative," my a#@!!! What Bush and his greedy cronies have done in office is simply raid the Treasury!! All they do is break the law, repeatedly and with impunity. Any lawyer who supports Bush is no better.
Bush has never acted as a conservative with any fiscal restraint whatsoever or with any respect for the public trust. He is an abomination and Ohio has seen enough, already!
I'm SO sick to death of sanctimonious, perverted, wannabe "lawyers" thinking they are intellectual heavyweights when all they are to support Bush is a bunch of cowardly HYPOCRITES & LIARS in clear violation of their Oath for admission to any Bar!!!
The Bush Administration represents the antithesis of The Rule of Law. I'm truly disgusted by any Ohio "members" of my profession who attended this nonsense. For shame. THE END.

Wow, Nicolle Wallace just admitted on MSNBC that she and David Gregory have "talked about John McCain's strategy for several days and the things he would do to help the economy" I'm paraphrasing, but I'd like to know what kind of conversations the McCain spokesman and MSNBC's election anchor have been having? David "Stretch" Gregory has already seemed to be in the tank for John McCain. Hearing that he and Nicolle have been having conversations about McCain's strategy just seems to add more fuel to that fire!

Uh, if David Gregory is supposed to be a NEUTRAL anchor of the election desk, he needs to shut his damned yap and stop agreeing with McCain spokesbitch, Nicolle Wallace. No one wants to hear him agree with "Right, right, right!" over her lying accusations about Obama and Ayers.
Funny, the Republicans keep saying they don't want to talk about Ayers but that is all they can talk about.
