SECRET tapes, my ass. These were made to be the lasting record of Bush's

[blm]

first campaign. Like everything he did, including the scummiest campaigning was never his doing.

The truth is that George Bush has a very foul mouth and would never go three sentences without swearing in private.

He also was a dirty tricks specialist since the 70s. He wants to mask that by acting reluctant on these tapes to go after his opponents. but, he has no choice.

The parsing of his positions for/against gays is so calculated to say, "...even if I have to act like I am against gays, I want the public to know I really am NOT anti-gay."

That's what this whole pile of crap boils down to....Bush and Rove controlling the final story of the first campaign.

NO friend of the Bush family does ANYTHING without the Bush's blessings. They know those who cross the Bushes are ruined or suicided.

1. exactly correct imo

this is a set up for bush's historical record.
as phony as he
tib

[Bethany Rockafella]

2. Good catch.

I guess Rove forgot that some of us know that Bush had (and probably still do) a foul mouth.

[heidiho]

3. Exactly what I thought! Too white-bread to be true to Bush's

evil thoughts.

Talk about the marijuana issue so that the real issue, his Coke using, is muted.

Control, control, control.

Sounds way too nice to be George W. Boosh!

5. I remember seeing a video

of him in his younger years. I think it was before he ran for governor. He was at a wedding party of someone he was friends with and you could tell he was drunk. They asked him to say something in the camera for the groom and bride and he said some nice things and he said he at first didn't want to but his friends around encouraged him too. If anybody knows anything about the Bush family they'd know this tape is a scandal.

15. That tape was from 1992, after he claimed he stopped drinking.

4. Right on - this is all set up

"Bush and Rove controlling the final story ..."

That's sure what is smells like - They WANT this crap to be headlines and they know how to do it - Masters of deception and Manipulators of the media

[glarius]

6. Agree completely...Notice NO REPUBLICANS have been on CNN

complaining about the constant playing of the tapes?....They're laughing their heads off....They want these tapes played over and over and the media is doing their dirty work for them again.

[slybacon9]

7. It's controlled burning...

Firemen do it to stop huge fires... start small ones.

Start another bullshit controversy to smother the REAL controversy.

FOX news is going to act like liberals are in an uproar all week over the pot thing, when i doubt any of us really give a flying f---. (and like we didn't know this already)

This is why our answer has to just be, "duh".

But you are right blm. These tapes are soooooo perfect. Perfect questions, perfect answers.

**I am a sinner, so who am i to judge???***

Well assface, you certainly thought it was ok to judge all those people you put to death in Texas.

Oh yeah, and 3 whole countries full of people when you called them the Axis of Evil.

Mr. Love and Compassion.

President Jesus.

BTW. HOw F---ing convenient that there are tapes coming from President Jesus now about his compassion towards gays THE SAME WEEK as it is discovered he has hired a male prostitute. You can already hear it can't you, "well it makes no difference what he was in the past, we are all sinners blah blah blah blah liberty blah blah blah mandate blah blah blah..."

These tapes were in a case marked IN CASE OF EMERGENCY BREAK GLASS.

Don't let up kiddies, we're getting somewhere... Eyes on the Prize

[blm]

11. No surrender from these quarters. And welcome to DU.

.

[Raksha]

13. Yes, it's perfectly obvious...

...and I think what we need to do is e-mail all the stations that are running this story (Faux News, CNN, etc.) and let them know that we're on to them. And furthermore that liberals are NOT stupid and don't appreciate the insult to our intelligence. I especially like your analogy about fighting fire with fire. That is exactly what they're doing, and we should let them know that we know.

8. I made a comment along this line yesterday in a thread.

This information came out because it's supposed to. Things just don't happen by accident in this Administration. This is for a reason and it won't hurt Bush.

[robbedvoter]

9. New reality for us to "study"

''We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And
while you're studying that reality -- judiciously, as you will -- we'll
act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and
that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you,
all of you, will be left to just study what we do.''
Bush aide to Ron Suskind

10. I agree. Those tapes were released "on cue"

to sideline the Gannon/Guckert saga. They've become predictable.

[AP]

12. I totally agree.

I bet some solid evidence of Bush drug use is going to come out soon and these tapes are supposed to frame people's perception about it.

He was lying as a favor to the kids. What a guy!

These tapes are phonier than than a three dollar bill.

If the media weren't spinning them so hard, people would be able to hear it for themselves.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

14. Yep.

Good call.

[bmbmd]

16. I agree in principle

but I dont think he would swear when speaking to an Assembly of God preacher.....

[RBHam]

17. switch and bait - 101

Lee atwater would be proud.

What was that about Gannon?

We have tapes!!
