Pelosi questions Bush's competence: Republicans demand apology

"...House Majority Leader Tom DeLay blasted Pelosi, casting her comments as detrimental to U.S. troops.

"Nancy Pelosi should apologize for her irresponsible, dangerous rhetoric," DeLay, R-Texas, said. "She apparently is so caught up in partisan hatred for President Bush that her words are putting American lives at risk."...

..."The San Francisco/Boston Democrats led by John Kerry have now adopted 'Blame America First' as their official policy," RNC Chairman Ed Gillespie said in the statement..."

Wow. These guys have no shame AND no brains. Hey Tom and Ed, Here's a quote for ya:

"Bring 'em on."

We got a few choice words for you too. Hopefully this is just the beginning and Democrats start calling them as they see them.

go fuck yourself.

then Diane Rehm and the NPR turds will HAVE to report what was ACTUALLY said. The last time Pelosi said Bush was incompetent, the Rove-fearing Rehm reported that Pelosi said "Bush's POLICIES were incompetent"!!
How in Christ's name can a policy be incompetent???????????????
The word is reserved for humans, sentient beings that can make choices and have responsibility for actions. A FREAKIN policy is incompetent???????!!!!!! Kee-riced, NPR!!!!
But forget that. It wasn't what Pelosi SAID! Diane, did you hear the word "policy" in the sentence "Bush is incompetent." Why are you NPR whores afraid of Rove? We'd love to hear why.

Is freedom of speech dead in America?
I think I remember the Republicans calling Clinton worse than that DURING a time when we had military in Kosovo and Bosnia.

Just wait until * is re-sElected and Patriot Acts I and II are in full swing, dissent will no longer be tolerated nor allowed. Oh yeah and wasn't it Delay who said, "We can support the Troops without supporting the President."? Hypocrite!

but I can imagine many repukes quoting him...

Tut-tut

Referred to President Clinton as a "scumbag" for lying about his affair with Monica Lewinsky. It was later discovered that Burton had fathered a child out of wedlock. But the "liberal media," particularly the Washington Post, tried to claim that outing Burton's extra-martial affair was unfair because it happened before Burton had been elected.

"I cannot support a failed foreign policy. History teaches us that it is often easier to make war than peace
. This administration is just learning that lesson right now.

The President began this mission with very vague objectives and lots of unanswered questions...these questions are still unanswered.

There are no clarified rules of engagement.
There is no timetable.
There is no legitimate definition of victory.
There is no contingency plan for mission creep.
There is no clear funding program.
There is no agenda to bolster our overextended military.
There is no explanation defining what vital national interests are at stake.
There was no strategic plan for war when the President started this thing, and there still is no plan today."
















Tom DeLay, Floor Statement, 4/28/99

The Patriot Act is for patriots to print out and use as toilet paper.

Hey Agent Mike! FUCK YOU! (not you keithyboy)

"Mission Accomplished"

And we know goddam good and well it originated in the White House.

Delay and Gillespie are as predictable they are stupid.

Go Nancy!!!
:kick:

...F*** YOU! What a sniveling shit. She should do no such thing. Apologize for telling the truth, yeah, that sounds like a Republican "value".

Rooten tooten republican rascals had best get used to the term BOHICA

And she should demand they clarify what exactly is "dangerous" about calling a spade a spade.....and let them know it's more dangerous to let the world think everyone agrees with the chimp's policies....

"It's dangerous to talk like that. A lot of accidents can happen around here."

... Tom Delay has been nominated to head the new "Department of Extreme Irony".


MDN

It's 'Blame Republicans First'. You have control of the House, Senate, WH, SCOTUS, and corporate media, remember? It's your watch and it's you guys that are 'Flaming America First'.

For everything: the persecution from Day 1 of his administration, the charges for Filegate, Travelgate, the whoring of Paula Jones, the manipulation and outing of Monica Lewinsky, the impeachment, the pardons, etc.

Make it sound sincere and promise never to do it again, and then MAYBE, we'll think about apologizing for telling the truth that * is an incompetent, dry-drunk, fool.

And those disgusting Repukes need to apologize for wasting America's time and $40 MILLION of our money in that disgusting eight years of trying to overthrow an ELECTED leader of this country.

of Mr. I aint wearing no clothes but everyone pretends that I am.

then the Democrats will stop telling the Truth about the republicans(Roosevelt?)

:puke:

Welcome to DU! :hi:

:hi:

Now that it looks like Bush is getting thrown out soon, Democrats are growing spines.
:eyes:

Pelosi...Chalabi...hmm, not even remotely similar.

That's one hell of a typo.

Here's what you should say:

"I am sincerely sorry if any Congresspersons were offended by my comments regarding President *'s gross incompetence. My intent was certainly not to offend anyone, President *'s incompetence notwithstanding, and I do hope that all offended parties in the House and the Senate would accept my sincere apologies." :evilgrin:

...and resign from a position that puts them under such stress and threat of being offended...

called our president a few years ago? Ann Coulter and Scarbrough are bitching about that right now on MSNBC.

What goes around comes around bush/dickheads!

He'd be much nicer as a passed out lush cheating on his wife than as a loudmouth traitor slaughtering thousands of children worldwide. Well, slaughtering them by proxie, since he's too cowardly to have actually carried a weapon himself.

Best to just suck it up, Tom. I think more than a few Republicans are already facing those facts.

I'm certain there's more to come, about time!

Do you suppose insurgents are sitting around, watching CNN in hopes that a US politician will clue them in as to whether Bush is a genius or an idiot? And now that they've been informed that he's an idiot, they'll go terrorize our troops?

Yeah, I'm there now. What the fuck does it take to think like a Republican anyway?

Here's an excerpt from a letter to bu$h from a Japanese junior high student that was published in the Japanese book "Why Do Adults Make War?":

"Are you really the president? You're not at all what a president should be. Why do you want to make war so much?

<snip>
"You may think the people of Iraq are bad, but you are sadly mistaken. I feel sorry for all the poor people who have died. Because we (young Japnese) have never experienced war, we cannot imagine how tough it is for those who suffer under it, but we know for a fact that it is horrible.

"Mr. Warmonger Bush, you are the pits. As a fellow human being, I am ashamed of you. You should look up the word "peace" in the dictionary. Don't take away everyone's happiness!"

"I'm very sorry the president is incompetent. I'm even sorrier that you apparently didn't know he is incompetent until I said so."

You beat me to it!

I did not vote for him"- the T shirt for sensible Americans traveling abroad.

Thus does Delay use it to protect the junta.

BITE ME!

little babies

anyone who criticizes the president.

I am happy to state that I would make a poor politician because I would get in their faces and broadly smile as I said, "Fuck off!!!"

We just blame the people you work for, asshole. You are not America, you ignorant, no-jaw, leave-it-to-beaver, FREAK! Your part of America, the bad part. In fact you incite the very thing you claim Nancy is guilty of.

NT

they already know that.

what the troops want to know is can anyone help them stay alive?

I still cannot fathom why Repukes cry whenever someone disses their Fearless Leader, then say it hurts our troops. Bush and our troops have nothing in common!

he isn't incompetent. What can they point to as proof that he has done anything competently?? :shrug:

Turn head - spit.

Nancy should apologize right after Bush and his administration resign for being such fuck-ups. (Not)

And I love it that she won't back down.

Is that they still think that strategy will work. It won't. The days of "Criticize Bush and you endanger the troops" went out about 2 months ago. It no longer has widespread resonance. It's over. Yet they continue.

They have absolutely no understanding of the situation on the ground at this moment. They still think it's 2002. Just like conservatives, they find it very difficult to adapt to change.

...Makes me proud to be from San Francisco....you know, all us "San Francisco/Boston Democrats"....

That's right Ed...and all the Democrats from San Francisco and Boston and in Between think this of your Pretzelboy.....

He's an idiot...and we are not going to take it any more!

If you would like to contact the office of Rep. Pelosi, we suggest calling the DC office at 202-225-4965, the San Francisco office at 415-556-4862, or email sf.nancy@mail.house.gov. Thank you.

and George and Dick et al:

My take:

Nancy didn't lie to me and rest of America and send
the sons, daughters, wives and husbands of America into an illegal war of agression which was opposed by millions of us. Nancy has nothing to apologize for - nor is she a candidate for the Hague, which is where I next hope to see you and all of your lying, liver-bellied associates. Got that, Bugman?

Hi Agent Mike. Feel free to pass this on to * - and tell him he's the same abysmal failure he was in the days of Arbusto. His last best hope is that the history books will fail to mention him - but that Poppy's will will.

sigh. gee, I feel better now.

Anyone know a good exterminator?

anymore. Republicans are partisans 24/7, in every move they make, in every word they utter. Fuck them and their cries of partisanship.

Pelosi did not back down, even when asked if her comments would undermine Bush's abilities as commander in chief.

"His activities, his decisions, the results of his actions are what undermines his leadership, not my statement," Pelosi said. "My statements are just a statement of fact."

That's what I like to hear!

:kick:

...That was my favorite....YEAH! I'm so proud of her....let's hope more Democrats start having a spine...I mean, what do they have to lose, especially if its not an election year for them personally? The Repukes have a-holes like Inhofe who are "outraged by the outrage"....Well, I want to start seeing "Americans" start speaking out against incompetence....

He's gone - he's so gone..... :kick:

...viewing the photo released by the Washington Post today of "prisoners being made to stand in Christ-like poses while smeared in excrement?"

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=102&topic_id=570725&mesg_id=570862&page=

...they make me sick...How these people can look in the mirror is beyond me...

:puke:

Wish some of the other Dem guys had the 'nads to call it like she did!
Way to go, girl! *applause*
:kick:

she has got it all..pelosi rocks.....

...and it's made him EVER so cranky.

Pis off, Tom...you're no longer relevant to the national discussion.

Nancy Pelosi!!!! :Toast: :party: :bounce: :yourock:

It's fine with me. It would be even better if every Dem in Conress held a Press conference each day until election day stating what she did.

Newt Gingrich once gave a press conference where he swore he wouldn't speak to the press any longer without mentioning the Clinton-Lewinsky affair.

In the meantime, he was banging his intern outside of the House offices, and eventually married and divorced her.

And as best I could tell, he stuck to that dogma until '98, when he was forced out of the House for obvious reasons.

That shit rolled off on him for using it against the President--far too late to be of interest to the public at large. The House is full of incompetent leaders, of all parties. Incompetence is proven by poor performance. So let them all sing out, and let's sweep out the roaches who have strayed too far upon the grease.

owes the whole frigging world an apology.

"She said the word incompetent, but she didn't give any words..." Break to commercial.

Thank you Fox News.

Somehow I don't think Nancy Pelosi is the type to get all a-flutter when the big bad Repubs start stomping up and down.

:toast:

She is, however, targeted for smear and defeat by them. Send a little money with your thank-you notes, DUers.

Hekate

Delay that maybe the reason 911 happened is BECAUSE the terrorists KNEW that BUSH WAS INCOMPETENT from the moment he stepped into OUR white house and pretended to be a pResident...

I am convinced that THAT was the Major reason for the attacks on this country...

told her I appreciate her willingness to say what many of us are thinking!

Dear Congressperson Pelosi -

Thank you so much for speaking up on behalf of all of those of us who do not have the forum to speak the truth. You are a true patriot. You are what it means to be an American. Our president is incompetent and many of us have known that for years.

Thank you for having the courage to face the right-wing smear machine. Keep it coming!

Sincerely Yours -


On edit... mine also came back undeliverable.... do you have another address?

The correct email for Pelosi is:

sf.nancy@mail.house.gov

The address above was missing the period between sf and nancy

Just FYI

Sent her a note of support. :hi:

In all the hubbub, the one thing the Republicans have NOT done is to try to argue a persuasive case that Bush IS, in fact, competent.

Tom DeLay calling Nancy Pelosi partisan is like a frog calling someone ugly.

...and can be very effective if other Dems. pick up on it and use it in the context of a calm objective assessment.

The Reps. know the power of a definitive word or short phrase that catches on.

Note, their counter was not to defend but to attack with "blame America first".

"Incompetent" has adhesiveness the Reps are very afraid of.

idiots... making an issue of something that might have just gone away without anyone knowing what she said. BRILLIANT!

Didn't that feel good?

n/t

from criticism began on Day 1 of his presidency - the Honeymoon period. Then after 9-11, no one did anything but praise and support him. The media and entire Congress. It was "unpatriotic" to speak against the Fuhrer.

Those days are finally over. Thank you Nancy for leading the way.

We're all behind you. Keep speaking the truth and more and more people will listen.

If you would like to contact the office of Rep. Pelosi, we suggest calling the DC office at 202-225-4965, the San Francisco office at 415-556-4862, or email sf.nancy@mail.house.gov. Thank you.

Regarding rant about Nancy Pelosi: I demand an apology for the Republican's irresponsible and dangerous war initiated with lies and deceit. I guess partisan hatred is okay when it applies to Clinton and other Democrats, but not toward Bush. Republicans have shown they cannot be trusted with the responsibility of national leadership and I think will be very unhappy in November. You forget, you work for the people of Texas (I am one) NOT the Republicans and not Bush. Approximately 1/3 of registered voters in Texas are independents. You forgot us when redistricting. We haven't forgotten you.

Excellent!!! My dad is one of you too in Texas. Good letter.

:hi:

:yourock:

About the Republicans' misplaced demands for an apology:
I thank you for having the courage to stand up to the Republican Bully Machine and telling the naked truth about the Bush Administration's incompetence. I hear Republicans are demanding an apology for your honesty. If I were you, I wouldn't say I'm sorry for being truthful, only that I'm sorry they feel the naked truth is naked partisanship.

I say the only thing you should apologize for is that your Republican counterparts cannot handle the truth when they're on the business end of unflattering facts, although they're quite adept at spewing slander at Democrats, often with impunity. Keep up the good work at exposing the Republican leadership as the arrogant, incompetent tyrants they are.

I believe letters to Congressmen and women are a very powerful form of activist... both pro and con. Tom Delay needs to be pounded day and night. He needs to start worrying that his constituency neither agrees with him or approves of his behavior. He better get very worried. I personally am tired of people thinking he represents most Texans. Most Texans are embarrassed by him.

Chalabi, the neocon buttboy in Iraq, is now accused of giving sensitive intelligence data to the Iranians. Didn't Chalabi also sit beside Pickles at the SOTU address?

"She apparently is so caught up in partisan hatred for President Bush that her words are putting American lives at risk."

Yeah, right. It's perfectly OK for Republican congresscritters to line up at the podium to trash John Kerry, but you better not breathe one negative word about Resident Dumbshit.

Nancy better not apologize. What she ought to do is expound on those remarks, and call DeLey and Gillespie on their bullshit.

you evil *uck

from other Democrat senators. They mustn't allow her to be isolated.

How does saying the President is an f'ing moron in public, which is already public knowledge, going to get our troops killed in Iraq?

You know how you do get our troops killed in Iraq, Delay and other foul repubs? YOU SEND THEM TO IRAQ!!!

Man, I wish i could just bitchslap them all viciously. That would be great. As of now, the only Repub I can respect and would ever vote for for President, is the only one with guts and courage, another Senator who went to Vietnam and paid for it with 5 years of his life in captivity. McCain. I would vote for him because he is a great man, even if he is a repub. If he beat Gore, I'd still be happy with the result because we would have a man of integrity in the White House, not some ass who spent 42% of his pre-9/11 time in office relaxing!!!!!!!!

MORRISON CAMPAIGN CATCHING FIRE LOCALLY AND NATIONALLY
For Immediate Release: Friday, May 14, 2004

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The Richard Morrison for Congress campaign today announced strong support within the district and across the country in their challenge to GOP power Tom DeLay. Campaign staffers revealed that their list of in-district supporters has exceeded 3,000 and that over 1,000 people from 45 states have contributed money to the campaign.

Morrison has raised more than $40,000 online in a sustained burst since April 28th when surprising poll numbers came to light showing that DeLay had surprisingly high negatives in the very Republican district.

Since then Morrison has appeared on Air America Radio, been named one of the "Dean Dozen" by Democracy for America, and met with the DCCC and the Texas Democratic delegation, who pledged strong support to the campaign.

Sorry for waiting so long to call him on his incompetence.

he simply made "patriotic" case that it wasn't appropriate.:D

idiots... I knew Pelosi would eventually crawl out from under her rock. GO NANCY!!

:bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce:

Here it comes......

"George W. Bush should apologize for his irresponsible, dangerous rhetoric, He apparently is so caught up in conquest that his words are putting American lives at risk."

Who's words put more lives at risk Mr. Delay? Dope.

Pelosi won't back off Bush condemnation
'Her words are putting American lives at risk,' says her House counterpart

Marc Sandalow, Washington Bureau Chief
Friday, May 21, 2004


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Washington -- House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco rejected Republican demands Thursday that she apologize for her strong condemnation of President Bush, as raw nerves over Iraq collided with raw politics on Capitol Hill.

Republican leaders accused Pelosi of taunting the troops, inspiring the enemy and putting American lives at risk by telling The Chronicle on Wednesday that Bush is an "incompetent leader'' who lacks the judgment, experience or knowledge to make good decisions.

Pelosi stood her ground, telling reporters that "the emperor has no clothes." With the violence in Iraq threatening to overshadow all other issues in the coming election season, each party claimed to possess the moral high ground in setting the rules for debate.

"She apparently is so caught up in the partisan hatred for President Bush that her words are putting American lives at risk,'' said House Majority leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas. "This nation cannot afford the luxury of her dangerous rhetoric.''

Countered one Democratic leader: "Frankly, that's McCarthyism.''

more... http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2004/05/21/MNG5F6PP2A1.DTL

They are finally starting to notice.

Bout fucking time.

Taking every opportunity to go on the attack against Nancy Pelosi.

C-SPAN showing the Armed Services Committee questioning Gen. Richards...The Republican members making a point prior to their questioning of the General that the Minority Leader, Nancy Pelosi's attack against the President required an apology. I am sure that this is going on throughout the Halls and whereever and whenever a TV camera is aimed at a Republican.

Two years ago, as far as the media and the general public were concerned, Bush could literally do no wrong. They're now in an extended streak where everything that they do turns sour on them, and there's simply nobody to blame but themselves.

They'll never get the veneer of invincibility back. Once it's gone, it's gone for good.

The audacity is breath-taking.

Could it be that Tom is so offended because he wears the same shoe size as Bush?

If the shoe fits...wear it.

Tom, Bush is incompetent and so are you!

The people need to wake up and look beyond this election. The thugs, liars and bigots are a threat to world peace and the very health of the planet. They must be exposed and eliminated as a threat to civilised society.
Any compromise at this point means more innocent lives destroyed.

No way Pelosi should apologize for telling the TRUTH.

I can't believe the shit some of these hacks try. So sorry, can't put the jack back in the box now--Bush is screwed.

I just sent her an email thanking her. We need more like this wonderful woman.

that you care about the safety of our troops and other Americans in Iraq. If you and other Republicans aren't just posturing, then here's what you should do:

Come out in support of Nancy. Tell the world that Congress was too lax in its oversight and ignored clear signs of the Administration's imperial ambitions and lack of respect for human rights. Appeal to people of good will around the world not to blame all Americans for the incompetent policies of Bush and his cohorts. Promise meaningful Congressional oversight of operations in Iraq, promise a real handover of power ASAP, promise a prompt withdrawal of US troops, and then really follow through.

If you're not going to do that, you're not seriously concerned.

Easily one of the most boorish members of Congress ever, DeLay is precisely the last person around to admonish others about their manners, patriotism or word choice. DeLay was vocal in his criticism of a U.S. president while troops were deployed to a hot spot -- when that president was Bill Clinton and that hot spot was the Balkans.

DeLay is the piece of filth who crowed over Bush's appearance on the USS Abraham Lincoln in flight suit and with the "Mission accomplished" sign -- and sneered that he wouldn't want to see Ted Kennedy in that suit. Well, Kennedy is an Army veteran, all of his brothers also served in the armed forces, and one brother DIED in the service. DeLay never served and indeed made some rather insensitive comments about all the minorities serving in Vietnam.

If DeLay is trying to set records for insensitivity, ignorance, hypocrisy, and just plain bad manners, he's succeeding brilliantly. I can't wait to see this guy get his comeuppance. It may not come for years, but surely it will come.

Poor babies. They can dish it but...

Who'da thought that passel of self-righteous, pasty-faced, neo-con chickenhawk hypocrites would let a LITTLE WOMAN get under their skin like that?

..finally, someone with the balls to tell it like it is.

And she should know - Didn't her daughter Alexandra spend some god-awful amount of time with the chimp for a documentary she was putting together on him?

I am sure she got some amazing inside scoop on the Chimp during that experience.

Not that you would need it to be able to tell that the Chimp is the most incompetent f**k up this country has ever seen.

clause 1: She apparently is so caught up in partisan hatred for President Bush
clause 2: that her words are putting American lives at risk.

That just doesn't follow. Her being "caught up" in "partisan hatred" is making her words put "American lives at risk?"


Who elects these people?

Dear Tommy Delay:

I'm sorry you feel telling the truth about the Bushies and the Republicans in Congress is an act of naked partisanship. I didn't know you couldn't handle it when it's thrown back in your face.

I'm also sorry you're a irredeemable psycho who's too far gone for any human being to reach you.

Damn Pelosi said what everyone knows.

I've never been so proud to be from California!

I'm writing her this instant and offering my support!

I urge everyone on the DU the same.

When politicians step out there like this we've got
to show support so that others will follow.

If you would like to contact the office of Rep. Pelosi, we suggest calling the DC office at 202-225-4965, the San Francisco office at 415-556-4862, or email sf.nancy@mail.house.gov. Thank you.

I just hope Sen. "DiFi" (R-CA) doesn't come out against Nancy.

I so dearly hope Pelosi stands her ground here.

He IS indisputably incompetent.

Or evil.

Gotta be one, t'other, or both.

Fuck YOU, DeLay, you Totalitarian Bootlicking SHITPILE!!!!!

..to the Texas newspapers and Washington Post and NY Times...tell them what we think of Nancy vs Tom...

I just did...

:kick:

House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., said Pelosi "has the right to disagree with President Bush. But her comments questioning the president's competence cross the line, '' Hastert said. "Was it incompetence that put Saddam Hussein in jail? Was it incompetence that disbanded the Taliban? Was it incompetence that spurred the fastest economic growth rate in 20 years? Was it incompetence that created the highest home ownership rate in history?'

Let's see...
Was it incompetence that put Saddam Hussein in jail? Yes. We had to lie and/or use outdated and incomplete intelligence to go in, and now Iraq is in chaos with no end in sight. Oh, and by the way, going in was a war crime.

Was it incompetence that disbanded the Taliban? Yes. Bush refused their offer to hand over Bin Laden, because he didn't want to reveal his evidence that Bin Laden did 9/11. As a result, thousands needlessly died.

Was it incompetence that spurred the fastest economic growth rate in 20 years? Why yes, actually, it was. His bungling of the economy left nowhere to go but up. It's worth noting that this was a one-month rate, not a sustained one.

Was it incompetence that created the highest home ownership rate in history? Again, yes. Home ownership went up because Greenspan lowered the prime lending rate about as low as it could go. It's practically the only thing propping up the economy.

McCain had found fault with GOP leadership's continuing calls for tax cuts in this time of overseas troop deployments in combat zones. McCain was saying that previous wars demanded sacrifices. Hastert lectured McCain about the nature of sacrifice and urged him to go visit wounded troops.

Uh, seeing that Hastert never served in the military and that John McCain not only went down in enemy territory but became a POW and was held for years on end (even rejecting early release), I don't think Denny Boy is in any position to lecture anybody here about sacrifice. I mean, wasn't McCain freakin' TORTURED? Doesn't he still have trouble raising his arms, thanks to the handiwork of the Vietcong?

Do you have to hold an advanced degree in being a major horse's rear end in order to get into GOP leadership these days? What is WITH these clowns?

We DARE to criticize the idiot, criminal, lying, asshole in OUR White House, and they always "demand" an apology. But all's OK for ANYTHING, however dispicable, they say about democrats.

She should "apologize" all right.

She should say "I'm sorry you're all idiots".

or

"I'm sorry he's a lying, thieving, criminal, too."

or

"I'm sorry he's screwed the country and he hasn't been impeached, removed from office, and imprisoned for all the crimes he's wrought on this world, and I'm also sorry that we have to use just the election to get rid of these horrible past 4 years."

Tom should be thankful to Pelosi for stating this fact with such correctness.

Hey, you partisan, gerrymandering hack - get a clue!

It was bunkerboy's CHOICE to START HIS "war" in Iraq!

Stop confusing the two - bush* is an idiot, America is my country. They have little in common. Unfortunately, one controls the other, illegally, now, with disasterous results.

Nazi fucker! Her words are putting American lives at risk? Sweet buttered Jebus, and all this time I thought it was those warmongering bastards at Boo$hCo. doing that.

his lies, greed and incompetence.

You, along with Bush and his warmongering cabinent, all need to be impeached for crimes against humanity.
