Bush says his party can see into the future
Froomkin:

Fearless Headliner

Bush was the headliner at a big Republican fundraiser last night.

The Associated Press reports: "President Bush delivered a partisan pep talk Thursday night to Republicans who may be jittery about midterm elections while his approval rating is at an all-time low.

" 'We don't fear the future,' Bush told donors who contributed $8 million Thursday night to support Republican House candidates. 'We welcome it.' "

Here's the text of his speech. Bush also said: "We believe we should not fear the future, but we should shape the future" and "Ours is the party that can see into the future. We don't fear it, we welcome it, because we intend to continue to lead."

1. He's psychic now?
Edited on Sat Mar-18-06 03:51 PM by Mz Pip
Or is he hearing voices again?

The prospect of these creeps continuing to lead is something we should all fear. They are delusional and they have power. A very bad combination.

8. Reminds me of his staffs constant referals to 'History being a judge'
Of whether Iraq was a success. I've heard Condi say it and Rumsfeld as well.

Of course, I don't think that's very likely unless they plan to be writing the history books in the same manner of their media control.

17. They'd love to have "history be the judge" . . .
Edited on Sat Mar-18-06 04:03 PM by MrModerate
Since they wouldn't have to hear the result.

Unfortunately for them, it doesn't take "history" to decide whether sticking your head in a hornets' nest is a bad idea or not -- you can tell pretty much right away.

22. I think pointing out that every empire that overextends its reach
either falls shortly afterwards or goes into a recession is proof of history enough that Iraq was an incredibly shitty idea.

11. Who controls the past controls the future
Edited on Sat Mar-18-06 03:57 PM by Pryderi
who controls the present controls the past.



Q Whether there's a question of legality, we know for a fact that there was involvement. We know that Karl Rove, based on what he and his lawyer have said, did have a conversation about somebody who Patrick Fitzgerald said was a covert officer of the Central Intelligence Agency. We know that Scooter Libby also had conversations.

MR. MCCLELLAN: That's accurate.

Now here is the official White House transcript:
