Bush Pledges to Seek Unity in Second Term

[southernleftylady]

WASHINGTON - In a city brimming with pageantry under fortress-like security, President Bush (news - web sites) looked ahead Wednesday to his second inauguration, pledging to seek unity in a nation divided by political differences. "I am eager and ready for the work ahead," Bush declared.
Offering a preview of Thursday's inaugural address, Bush said he would speak about freedom. "This is the cause that unites our country and gives hope to the world and will lead us to a future of peace. We have a calling from beyond the stars to stand for freedom, and America will always be faithful to that cause."

The threat of terrorism prompted what authorities promised would be the tightest inaugural security ever deployed. A half-million people were expected to throng the city for the swearing-in and the traditional parade along Pennsylvania Avenue from the Capitol to the White House.

1. Bullshit! When has he EVER

spoken the truth?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

48. If Bush ever tells you 2+2=4, check with a calculator. Twice. (nt)

[jswordy]

63. Damn! That's what I was gonna say!

Karl Rove on NPR this morning basically said they want to work with the Dems, as long as the Dems are willing to step up and support GOP initiatives.

ROFLMAO!

[Taragui Junkie]

65. We'll work with you, Chimp-in-Chief,

When you do what we say and support OUR progressive initiatives.

When you immediately withdraw from Iraq and abandon all your hostile plans to invade and conquer other sovereign nations.

When you raise taxes on the wealthy and make them pay their due.

When you admit that you stole two elections and...okay, this one's not gonna happen.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

2. or else

[Malva Zebrina]

3. A calling from beyond the stars?

He is off the radar screen. What the hell does that mean?

A calling beyond the stars?

[tanyev]

18. Klingons?

:evilgrin:

[Rose Siding]

33. Peggy Noonan will have a religious experience over that remark

She'll have an "o sweet mystery of life, at last I've found you" moment.

[Malva Zebrina]

52. LOL

How about "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"

[Liberal Veteran]

4. Pope Gregory Pledges to Seek Unity

By the sword if necessary!

[NC_Nurse]

5. He is so sickening...

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[Canuckistanian]

6. He was talking about McCain....

And maybe Lincoln Chaffee....

[Generic Other]

7. We are united against him and his ugly ass

Never more so.

[CBHagman]

14. Especially the ugly ass part.

I mean, seriously, did anyone else here get a load of some of his campaign speeches? He bent over backwards to insult anyone who wasn't part of his special base, and his carefully screened crowds screeched insults about Kerry and Edwards.

If you've read Tom Daschle's "Like No Other Time," you'll know that he A) likes to control people and B) projects his own vices onto other people (for example, his command to Tom Daschle that Daschle never lie to him -- and then Bush proceeded to lie to all of us).

Bush is like the abusive husband who promises the wife that things will be different this time.

[ernstbass]

62. Hell yes!

[Spazito]

8. Guess he hasn't been given the news that...

the country is divided or surely he wouldn't say such stupid things, would he? lol

[gratuitous]

9. Ah, the freedom of Abu Ghraib

And Guantanamo. And the death chamber in Texas. Yes, Mr. Bush, we understand your concept of freedom very well. Too well.

[Pam-Moby]

10. The only reason why he is stating he wants to

unite us is because his walls are closing in on him. I think he maybe feeling a little more pressure than usual. Condi got her bottom kicked by Senator Boxer on national TV and now around the globe leaders are speaking out on Condi's statements about them and torture. It has all just began to unfold!

[AuntiBush]

44. Oh yes!

Thank you Pam-Moby for saying it "exactly like it is!"

Sending a high five you're way!

[BrklynLiberal]

11. Check out this picture of a bridge in Brooklyn I have to sell you...

I do not think that man has told the truth in his entire poltical life. (I cannot vouch for his personal life, but I would be surprised if it was any different.)

[Career Prole]

12. Oh goodie! Is he announcing his resignation?

I sure hope he remembers to take his Dick with him. :evilgrin:

[hector459]

13. I would rather he sought "competence" and "honesty"

Division is not our problem, it's our salvation!

[Anakin Skywalker]

15. Mista Preznit, Unity or Man Date?

Make up your mind, dumb ass! Or is Rovey telling you to lie some more?

[Megahurtz]

16. Oh yeah well, good luck on that one,

dude.:headbang:

[Matilda]

17. Beyond the stars?

Does that mean he's an alien?

[Inland]

19. Tell me this is an article from The Onion. Please.

[paulie5]

21. What ever he says

What ever the chimp says you can expect the opposite. Every single time.

Bush must be from a different planet. Either that or they think most Americans are stupid. Sadly that might be true.

P5

[ima_sinnic]

20. talking about "freedom" while he pushes Patriot I and II

--you #(%*^ hypocritical lying sack of #%(^*!!
what a clueless twit you are, a disgrace to the human race, a huge waste of protoplasm, a sick, twisted individual with no conscience.

"freedom" is such a nice easy feel-good empty concept, what a load of crap!! tell those people you've got in your secret gulags in hoods and chains, with no charges yet filed against them, about your brand of freedom you disgusting piece of dog dung.

[Massachusetts]

22. The boy king has NO CLOTHES!!!!!

See you in Hell Georgie boy!!!!!!:evilgrin: O8) :evilfrown:

[spotbird]

23. He says stuff like that so he can say he tried.

The right admires him for his openness.

[jazzjunkysue]

24. Unity with his little black girlfriend. Is Laura jealous, yet?

[Massachusetts]

28. The truth shall set you free!

:thumbsup:

Oh, but where is the blue dress?

[sweetheart]

25. The US has no leader

There are only criminals.... who is left to talk to?

[nookiemonster]

26. My ass!!

n/t

[struggle4progress]

27. Har har har! He thinks he's a wit but he's only half right. eom

[Lostnote03]

29. And to think there are Dems that will believe him.....

[ilovenicepeople]

59. That doesn't surprise me,considering that

both the "Dem's" and the "Repug's" are state sponsored,acceptable voting choices.I have a good idea,how about a party that represents US instead of THEM?(just kidding)

[Chalco]

30. barf big time nt

[sweetheart]

31. liar, NO,, bullshit, absolutely not

Bush is a criminal liar and will use all "reasons" as to why people
should cooperate with his criminal adgenda... the simple answer is
"Just say no." (thanks nancy)

[fooj]

32. That's what he said in 2000...Blah, Blah, Blah!

:puke:

[Solly Mack]

34. That's the punchline, right?

Cause I know I'm laughing

[Bozvotros]

35. Let fly with LTTE's now

Let him and his citizen zombies know, let the MSM know, that he is NOT OUR PRESIDENT, that he is still a liar, still a fraud, still incompetent, still a corporate shill, still a menace to our safety and security. Remind them of his criminal family, criminal past and the thousands of dead and maimed veterans who have paid the price of his malfeasance. Let him and the Democratic party know that there will be no compromise, no trust, no bargaining and no unity with this gang of thugs, until a whole lot of them are held criminally accountable.

Watching Condi smile through that hearing, knowing she would be confirmed no matter what she said or did, just made me furious..

-edited for spelling

[AuntiBush]

46. She LIED straight through those Teeth

of hers! What teeth she has! The most painful part of watching that circus show was having to look at her as she smiled to one side, and frowned the other way.

Agree w/you're entire post!

[Kat45]

36. He said that about his first term as well

I seem to remember the comment, "I'm a uniter, not a divider." With all the lies he's been telling for all these years, I can't believe that there are people who still believe him.

[jmatthan]

37. Buzzflash Headline summed this up best

Bush pledges to seek unity in 2nd term "There's an old saying in Tenenessee........- you can't be fooled again" 1/20

[marmar]

38. seek unity among...

Gun nuts, homophobes, evangelical extremists and warmongers. Welcome to the Fourth Reich.

[Sparkly]

40. Exactly

And those who aren't in his "base" can pack salt.

Belated welcome to DU, btw! :hi:

[marmar]

49. Thank you

It's great to be surrounded by the like-minded! We will prevail.

Don't stop thinking about tomorrow, it'll soon be here...

:headbang:

[deadparrot]

39. Ha ha ha frigging ha.

Cute. Bet he and KKKarl had a good little chuckle over that one.

I'm getting the hell out of this country.

[AuntiBush]

41. It's a whole lot too late...

for this lady! I'd tell you what he can do w/his pledge but as I just mentioned, I'm too much a lady to do so out here.

[AuntiBush]

42. From Beyond the Stars?!?

He's speaking in tongue about the heavens with that packed agenda from the holier-than-thou's! Rev Rob must be rejoicing in ridiculous rapture right about now.

[Amich]

43. didn't he say that last time that he wanted to unite the country?

Is he using the same speech from last time just edited to add war on terror?

[VegasWolf]

45. Didn't Uncle Dicky explain that the word unity means he can't throw

a temper tantrum and get his way.

[no_to_war_economy]

47. go ahead * - reach out to me

and let me use your hand to wipe my ass

[Erika]

50. Unite with someone who is destroying our country?

No thanks.

[Thor_MN]

51. He means unity as in "Get over it, see it my way, or else. There. Unity"

[Cocoa]

53. Bush pledges a lot of things

:eyes:

[Magleetis]

54. Unity this

f&ck you bush.

[sakabatou]

55. Well...

freedom is something that unites us, but not under Shrub.

[Triana]

56. bwahahaaaaaaaaa!!

Good luck, a**hole. Mr. Divider not a Uniter spent 4 years being unilateralist and divisive and NOW he wants unity?!

Bwahahhahaaaaaaaaaa!

Welp. I want a million bucks in my bank account by tomorrow, too but it ain't likely to happen, is it?

:evilgrin:

[Demeter]

57. He Said "Immunity", Right?

I'm SURE that's what he said....

[LiberalPersona]

58. That has to be one of the biggest lies he's ever told

He says that being re-selected validates everything he's done, then claims that he's going to seek unity? BULL SHIT.

[genieroze]

60. Lying sack of _____(fill in the blank). eom

[Puglover]

61. When oh when

will our wonderful country be free of this beyond horrid parasitic family known as Bush?

[Hugin]

64. Keep in mind y'all...

This guy ain't so good with words...

He may get "unity" and "homogeneity" mixed up.

He may decide to eliminate the different to achieve unity.

:scared:

[V Lee]

66. Maybe he should seek wisdom first? eom

[wrate]

67. How? By turning the other half of Americans into Born Again Idiots? n/t

[SlavesandBulldozers]

68. last time he was just kidding.

:D
