Bush just destroyed himself tonight

[Paragon]

Just when he needed to talk to the nation about their lost jobs and drained pensions and the fake economy -- he buries himself by promising new roads and new schools and reconstruction for IRAQ. Billions and billions of your hard-earned tax dollars...for someone else.

Goodbye, George. They'll remember this day as the day you faded into history.

[Zhade]

1. Bush is a traitor.

A lying traitor. A cowardly traitor. A weak, selfish, brutal, petty, childish, self-whoring, son-of-a-bitch TRAITOR.

He is going down.

[PaDUer]

42. What about the look on his puss!

Was he trying to be serious or what?! Was he trying to keep a straight face and tell the people he's screwing them with their pants on...What a friggin as*hole! How many more days with this pukebastard!

[caledesi]

52. He looked pretty stoic to me. Also, I thought he looked like he

didn't really want to be making this speech. Gee, wonder why?

It's his "Swan Song" perhaps?

[maggrwaggr]

78. The "Chimp-in-the-headlights" stare. The guy can barely read

a teleprompter. He would slow down .... slower .... so the teleprompter guy had to slow down too .... then he would talk slower because the teleprompter guy had slowed down .... it seemed like it was going to come to a dead stop any minute

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

2. I really don't think he is going to get ANY bump from this

The speech was flat

[CMT]

3. you make a great point!!

We here in the USA want better roads and schools too but Bush tells us that there is no money for it. The American people will not stand for this kind of money spent in Iraq especially if the killing continues--as unfortunately our presence there means it will.

[Cha]

10. bush must think we are the f*ck as stupid as he is...

Oh Yeah..."he's goin' down"..

[caledesi]

55. Going down BIG TIME <thank you the Dick, Cheney>

[Paragon]

12. Even freepers have to be enraged

"Why're all those damn towelheads gittin' all dat money?!? Mildred, git mah shotgun!!!" :silly:

[liberalhistorian]

27. LOL!

I sure hope that's exactly what's happening in the two brain cells given to freepers!

[PaDUer]

44. here's one thread......

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/977824/posts

[caledesi]

56. The Freepers are enraged. Go to Freeperville and check it out.

Good for yucks!

[caledesi]

54. Yes CMT, and that is why EVEN the Freepers are up in arms...

when they heard 87 BILLION....they went nuts. They are pissed.

He's going down.

[Walt Starr]

4. Get us the fuck out of Iraq NOW!!!

Turn it over to the U.N. completely and just get the fuck out. We cannot afford this. This nationh's infrastructure is bleeding AND THIS FUCKUP OF A LYING RAT BASTARD WANTS MORE MONEY FOR HALLIBURTON!!![/b

[caledesi]

59. Well God Forbid a French or German Company would take over the oi wells.

Let's see if the French and Germans (after we dissed them) take the "opportunity" to jump on the bandwagon and send their guys/gals to die for our mess? And with the US in charge!! I don't think so.
He is such a moran.

[Zhade]

77. You know what would be sweet?

If the UN goes in - and the killing dries up to a trickle.

The UN proves it's there to help. Takes away the no-bid contracts, helps the people with food and water, electricity and security.

And at the end, the new, honest-to-goodness Iraqi government by and for the Iraqi people, tells the world: "George Bush and his fellow criminals destroyed our nation - but the real lovers of democracy, including Germany and France, helped us rebuild it into a country of our own."

That, my friends, would be totally fucking sweet.

[Gin]

5. His new name is "Mr. T."....all he can say is terra and tax cuts....

sayonara you friggin idiot.

[Sliverofhope]

6. John King of CNN even admitted

or said, "nothing new but the budget number." How really... unoriginal a speech. Disappointing to watch, really.

[caledesi]

60. I like John King. Please don't tell me he is a media whore.

[ozymandius]

70. John King is not a whore.

He happens to be a really nice guy, sharp as a tack and loves Helen Thomas. He is usually by her side asking the really tough questions.

[calimary]

79. I just saw John King. I was surprised that he actually DID say this.

He pointed out - "nothing new" in this speech but the budget number" and added - he didn't have anything to say about when they'd be bringing the American troops home, or where the WMDs are, or where Saddam is, or any of that.

I was truly surprised. John King didn't just wax poetic.

When I saw the replay, my first impression was - "is bush sedated?"

[UCLA02]

7. Tweety, Gergen, Luntz slurping all over * on MSRNC now!

YUK!!!!!

[liberalnurse]

20. Yea, drooling and bowing now to the almighty....

I had to go over to CNN.

[UCLA02]

24. I hear ya, I had to leave, too.

F&^%ing disgusting!!!

[Rollins]

FOX is saying he did well!

They are polishing his knob again by saying "He answered his critics"

[_NorCal_D_]

35. Of coure they are, good ol FOX!

:eyes:

[Cush]

37. I'm shocked!

[Wendec]

8. Thanks Joe Biden

for telling us what a great job Bush did in "levelling with the country," professing him to be a big man for admitting he was wrong, and vowing to support the president.

The Repubs don't need any PR with Democrats like this.

[CMT]

19. Biden is one of the biggest whores on Iraq

in the senate. I used to have some respect for the man but its gone.

[October]

25. I'm still in shock over Biden's comments

What the hell does that "D" behind his name stand for...

Ditto-head?
Dumb ass?
Dipsh*t?
Devil?

It sure as hell doesn't stand for Democrat!

We should all email the traitor.

[Khephra]

30. He's always on the air saying he'll support Bush

I can't stand him anymore. He's getting to be as much of a pain to the Democratic cause as Lieberman and Miller.

[October]

38. You're right...

He's such an embarrassment -- but for some reason it still shocks me when he does this! I can't seem to snap out of it.

I wasn't thrilled with him on Bill Maher's show the other night either -- acting like the diplomatic "elder statesman" or whatever. But tonight, he totally supported Bush*. Is he on the Carlyle payroll or something?

[VolcanoJen]

72. Biden!! Arrrrrrggggh!

I was absolutely steaming when he came on after the speech, cheerfully announcing that Congress would pass the bill and give Smirky his money. "We're beyond WMDs... we're all going to have to get behind this..."

Where have you gone, Joe Biden?

[maggrwaggr]

81. the hair's a dead giveaway. A DINO.

Nobody can do a bad hair-plug combover like a republican

[calimary]

82. "...for admitting he was wrong?" When did he do that?

I didn't hear that anywhere in shrub's speech. All I heard was how right and valiant and wonderful our cause was and how we're sticking to it - like a li'l ol Tarbaby...

[Gore1FL]

89. You'll notice though

he professes support, but always after a qualifier.

"I am disappointed that Bush ___________________, but it took coraige to admit he was a _______________."

Pretty much the text of Biden's speech. It is a subtle, "He's a dick but I support him out of patriotism" type line.

Don't get me wrong. We don't need subtle rhetorical attacks, we need real outrage.

I have noticed if you read between the lines, Biden usually has some pretty good digs -- for whatever it is worth.

[JPace]

9. So many Americans being hurt...

by this economy.....and all AWOL can
talk about is how all of us should
sacrifice everything for HIS vision
for the PROSPERITY and PEACE of IRAQ!

Can't we all get together and send
him to the country he really loves?

[camero]

11. and a national health care system too boot

Hey, where's ours? What about us? You know, Americans?

[idadem]

13. How much...

...is Iraq itself going to chip in from it's oil sale proceeds?
When we helped rebuild Japan after WWII, the japanese had to contribute mightily.

[last1standing]

32. You might be forgetting who attacked whom.

n/t

[Breezy du Nord]

14. You notice how he has that wan smile on at the end

Wonder if he sees how dumb he is.

[Atlant]

15. The CNN talking heads are *VERY NEGATIVE* about the speech. (NT)

[MercutioATC]

16. Bright spot: the teleprompter guy finally got the speed right...

My dog could read faster than that, but FINALLY Bush could keep up...

[roguevalley]

21. I wonder where the money is going now?

If the soldiers are complaining that they aren't getting the stuff
that they need- food, water and shelter- where is the money going
that the subcontractors are getting to supply this? What about an
internet campaign to force the bastards in the gummit to find out
where all that money is going?

[whathappened]

17. yupper

he needs to get iraq a going so the big companys can go and make them new employees for the new world order , cheap labor is hard to find these days so jr. wants his own pool of slaves to work for the mega corp , and steal what life they have to begain with , watched, now the other nite and what a hoot that is going on over in these so called free nations we have in our line ups for labor ,

[gulliver]

18. Blitzer pointed out that nearly all of Gulf War 1 was

paid for by foreign countries and not the United States. Then he said that nearly all of the cost of this war is coming from the U.S. Treasury.

Bush might have been better off trying to sneak the $85 billion through a compliant Republican Congress. This speech may really backfire big time. It may not destroy him directly (but I hope you are right).

[proud patriot]

22. Yup ! Goodnight georgie

Voters will not like this at all ..

[nostamj]

23. what percent of the 87B goes DIRECTLY

into Halliburton's exec's pockets ???

[Cha]

28. Well...let's put it this way....they will continue to scrimp on the Iraqis

no matter what whistle ass says and the Soldiers will stay at one meal per day and rationed H2O! :grr:

[TahitiNut]

83. Just watch HAL tomorrow ...

... and you'll see the stock rise. Billions. :puke:

[Khephra]

26. People are losing jobs left and right...and he pulls out this $80B

figure? "We are going to spend what it takes"? Yeah, that's going to go over real well with all the people without jobs.

Bush just showed the whole world how out-of-touch he really is.

[caledesi]

62. Yeah, remind you of another president? Try Poppy!

[Paragon]

29. How many millions who didn't know how much $$$ was being wasted...

...know now thanks to George opening his mouth?

I'm telling ya, Joe Sixpack is incredulous now. Just lost TONS of votes.

[Mari333]

31. OMG the Freepers are even pissed off

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/977824/posts

This is the Bush WaterLoo speech!

[UCLA02]

33. Gotta LOVE it!

Send the link to Faux, they didn't seem to have seen the same speech!

(on edit: insert "and BSNBC")

[hedda_foil]

34. OMFG the Freepers are saying the same things WE are!!!

Pigs fly and all dogs go to heaven!

We're already $598 billion in the hole for this year... Another $87 billion on top of that?

Does this man have any concept of money whatsoever?

Short answer? No. I heard it on Fox right before he started to talk, something around 60 billion for day to day operations and another 20 billion for something else. But who cares? It's just 'paperwork' to the administration now. God only knows how we're going to pay for it...

$87 billion is over $300 for every man woman and child in the country. I wonder when parents should break the news to their young children that they are going to work an extra few years to pay for this.

$87 billion here, $87 billion there, and you are starting to talk about real money.

[Darranar]

41. Heartening...

except for this post: LOL!! I quit watching after halfway through. After calling Islam a religion of peace and spouting the WMD crap again, I just couldn't take it.

WMD stuff needs to be called crap, but attacking Islam is pure bigotry.

[JPace]

40. Even a freeper can see

the unfairness of it all. This country
is hurting and needs some campassion
at home. Our soldiers are being wounded
and killed in a foreign land while their
parents are losing their jobs and their
families are losing their health care.

AWOL is asking too much from the people!

[UCLA02]

45. Don't give them too much credit yet...

...for being objective thinkers. From the same thread:

"Kill'em all and if it costs money to do that, that's the price we pay."

Sheesh.

[Paragon]

46. Or, as I saw on a right-wing bumpersticker/t-shirt site...

"Kick Their Ass And Take Their Gas"

[Fatima]

53. Yeah, I saw that post

most of those posts are coming from the same moron. It looks like most of the others are getting fed up with the fiscal situation.

[Ellen Forradalom]

85. This particular idiot subscribes to the honeypot theory

The 'terrorists' (whoever they may be) are all over there so they can't possibly be up to anything here, right??

[proud patriot]

43. They probably believed that bush would cut spending and shrink Gov.

LOL...

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

73. LOL

Dumbshits.

[Robin Hood]

36. Absolutely.

I think that not even the republican media echo chamber can help him now.

[Darranar]

39. LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES...

Again and again and again and again. how does he do it?

Anyone know how much of that 87 billion is going to Haliburton and Bechtel for the "rebuilding" (aka affirmation of American control) of Iraq? Also, how much of it is going to our military?

[opihimoimoi]

48. Mean while Saddamn and Osama has a terrorist summit 2 days ago in Afghani-

stan near Kabul right under the noses of the Gov't.

Terrorists from around the world attended the 4 day affair. Entertainment included belly dancers and Wayne Newton.

Damn damn damn. Where are the fucking blood hounds to find these ass holes????

[caledesi]

63. I am confident that Howard Dean will bring this up tomorrow.

He's going to be on CBS and NBC to comments on the "speech"

[nomaco-10]

69. Everybody will be bringing this up tomorrow

I think there will be a huge backlash over this speech, the money he is asking for is going to enrage alot of people.

[PartyPooper]

47. Well, we'll know in a couple of days...when the next 'polls' are released.

I just hope they show Junior in the dumper...the dempster dumspter!

[sangha]

49. You're whacked

Though this speech didn't do him any good, it certainly didn't hurt him.

[Paragon]

50. Thanks

How's everybody at Free Republic?

[Ellen Forradalom]

76. Still insane.

Some things never change.

[Walt Starr]

58. It most certainly DID hurt him

He put the price tag out for everybody to see, $87 billion.

This at a time when all polls indicate everybody is concerend out the U.S. economy, he wants to spend $87 billion rebuilding another country.

He's fucking toast.

[caledesi]

65. Walt...you are SO right. Tell these people to go to Freeperville.

Even they are pissed at 87 billion!

[Forkboy]

68. That's funny

my father,who voted for Bush,just said on the phone that the speech was the final straw for him.Even he's had enough of Bush.

You might be more "whacked" than who you accuse.

Of course most of us knew that already...

[Sterling]

87. As usual Sangha has his finger on the pulse of America.

And always so polite when he sets us all straight.

:eyes:

[caledesi]

51. VG Paragon. Exactly what I was thinking. What about us?

Didn't mention one f*cking domestic issue. What about our roads, our schools, our economy?

He's toast.

Why, did they vote for Bush or something? What did I miss?

[alcuno]

64. I don't think that's going to cover reconstruction

Isn't most of that money for the military? We're spending 5 billion/month now in Iraq.

[nomaco-10]

67. We've all been so upset with the

body bags coming home and the Iraqi death toll that the frustration has been palpable. All the people out there in freeper land that supported this carnage will be raising hell tomorrow because the war is going to hit their wallet and that's very personal to them. Hell, US kids coming home in body bags or maimed, that's just "the cost of freedom" to them, the Iraqi death toll has been "collateral damage", but by god, mess with their money and I guarantee you, there will be a different tune come tomorrow.

[kentuck]

71. I'm sitting here...

unemployed, no healthcare, no unemployment insurance, no job in sight, and I'm supposed to applaud Dubya because he's gonna keep me secure??

[eleny]

74. Well....

[nomaco-10]

75. Yes, but you'll be

safe in the streets of Murika while you are homeless and starving in the streets and dying from pneumonia cause you couldn't afford a prescription for an anti-biotic. God, I truly despise him more than ever, if it's possible.

[opihimoimoi]

80. He didn't dare tell us about the other 90 Billion$ the year after that and

another 99 Billion after that.
What the fuck are the Boys in the White House smoking???? They gatta be loaded man for them to think this shit gonna pass.

[nomaco-10]

84. The elderly people in this country will be eating dog food and

the youth will be drafted and sent home in body bags. The thread title is only half right, bush may have destroyed himself, but he just destroyed half of America tonight as well.

[TahitiNut]

86. Yup. He also didn't talk about how much of the existing military budget

... has gone into this atrocity or how much more will be. Remember, this is nowhere near the actual cost, even ignoring the inevitable overruns.

But hey, he cut taxes on the wealthy. :puke:
