"A record of inconsistency way beyond the norm of any politician"

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

...Rudy Giuliani, discussing John Kerry on Hannity's radio show.

Giuliani: "every day, his position seems to change."

Hannity: "I've never seen anything like it, especially at a time when we're at war."

Giuliani: "The thing that President Bush has brought to us is a very, very strong consistency of purpose. He fought for the tax cuts to improve the economy. You do what you have to do, even when it is unpopular. He has the qualities that a leader has."

Hannity: Where do you see this campaign going?

Giuliani: "I believe that after people get closer and closer to the election, people are going to focus on what they really need, and it's going to come down to leadership. They're going to see President Bush and they're going to see a steady, consistent leader."

1. Giuliani is right.

Bush was a steady, consistent leader when he sat in his chair reading My Pet Goat on 9/11 while Guiliani's city burned.

2. Yup, the flip-flop meme is pretty much all they have....

3. Bush "...a steady, consistent leader..." - steadily, consistently downhill

Bush is steadily and consistently ruining this country. If Republicans think that this is what we need, they are all nuts.

5. Once Bush is wrong about something, he stays wrong!

You have to be a complete dumbshit to be a Republican these days. We're supposed to think Bush's mental defects are actually virtues. The whole world thinks we're crazy for even CONSIDERING Bush for another term, and they're right!




"Ah don't turn mah steern weel even when the road benns I jess go straight cause ah am a steady consistent dummshit vote fer me!"

6. Yeah, real consistent

President Bush: Flip-Flopper-In-Chief


1. Social Security Surplus

BUSH PLEDGES NOT TO TOUCH SOCIAL SECURITY SURPLUS... "We're going to keep the promise of Social Security and keep the government from raiding the Social Security surplus."

...BUSH SPENDS SOCIAL SECURITY SURPLUS The New York Times reported that "the president's new budget uses Social Security surpluses to pay for other programs every year through 2013, ultimately diverting more than $1.4 trillion in Social Security funds to other purposes."

2. Patient's Right to Sue

GOVERNOR BUSH VETOES PATIENTS' RIGHT TO SUE... "Despite his campaign rhetoric in favor of a patients' bill of rights, Bush fought such a bill tooth and nail as Texas governor, vetoing a bill coauthored by Republican state Rep. John Smithee in 1995. He... constantly opposed a patient's right to sue an HMO over coverage denied that resulted in adverse health effects."

...CANDIDATE BUSH PRAISES TEXAS PATIENTS' RIGHT TO SUE... "We're one of the first states that said you can sue an HMO for denying you proper coverage... It's time for our nation to come together and do what's right for the people. And I think this is right for the people. You know, I support a national patients' bill of rights, Mr. Vice President. And I want all people covered. I don't want the law to supersede good law like we've got in Texas."

...PRESIDENT BUSH'S ADMINISTRATION ARGUES AGAINST RIGHT TO SUE "To let two Texas consumers, Juan Davila and Ruby R. Calad, sue their managed-care companies for wrongful denials of medical benefits ‘would be to completely undermine' federal law regulating employee benefits, Assistant Solicitor General James A. Feldman said at oral argument March 23. Moreover, the administration's brief attacked the policy rationale for Texas's law, which is similar to statutes on the books in nine other states."

3. Tobacco Buyout

BUSH SUPPORTS CURRENT TOBACCO FARMERS' QUOTA SYSTEM... "They've got the quota system in place -- the allotment system -- and I don't think that needs to be changed."

...BUSH ADMINISTRATION WILL SUPPORT FEDERAL BUYOUT OF TOBACCO QUOTAS "The administration is open to a buyout."

4. North Korea

BUSH WILL NOT OFFER NUCLEAR NORTH KOREA INCENTIVES TO DISARM... "We developed a bold approach under which, if the North addressed our long-standing concerns, the United States was prepared to take important steps that would have significantly improved the lives of the North Korean people. Now that North Korea's covert nuclear weapons program has come to light, we are unable to pursue this approach."

...BUSH ADMINISTRATION OFFERS NORTH KOREA INCENTIVES TO DISARM"Well, we will work to take steps to ease their political and economic isolation. So there would be -- what you would see would be some provisional or temporary proposals that would only lead to lasting benefit after North Korea dismantles its nuclear programs. So there would be some provisional or temporary efforts of that nature."
