Bush* is already talking about losing the election
"You know, if I should lose this reelection for president of the United States, I know that I've done as good a job as I can do. And God would say, 'Good servant, take a break.' "...

He said this to a group of steelworkers in Ohio.

20. That Is WHY
I loved Kerry putting it in perspective, by saying The famous line in his speech about "being on GOD'S side."

If I had a choice of God being on my side...or me being on GOD's side...I will gladly come to GOD's side!

You think bush would? No...he'd insist god come to HIS side, like the spoiled brat, silver-spoon loser fuckhead he is!!

8. Take a break?
Would that be like the kind of break he took after having the Aug6th,2001 PDB read to him? Or the kind of break he took after his insider trading at Harkin? I fear this man as a lame duck, he's just the kind of vindictive, bitter asshole that would deliberately fuck all sorts of stuff up just because he's a born silver spoon LOSER.

14. The Wretch Is Going To Lose, Sir
Professional political operatives must have reached this conclusion by now, it being so obvious as it is to an amatuer. His handlers must have begun careful preparation of the wretch for the event, in hopes of avaoiding the spectacle of mental and drunken breakdown certain to follow on his discovery of his repudiation at the polls. A personality actually incorporating belief one is chosen by the deity is extraordinarily fragile in the face of bad news....

"LET'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDS!"

But Mission Accomplished.
Really, why would he want a second term?

* No more money to steal from the Treasury.
* He's destroyed our international reputation.
* He's helped his friends in the pollution business y gutting environmental policy.
* He's helped his friends in the medical private insurance business by dismantling our social insurance programs.
* He's got us deep into the ME without any good way to get out.
* He's hamstrung a Kerry government's ability to get us away from Oil as our primary energy focus, because there's no money to prime a new energy polcy.
* He's probably gotten all incriminating documents on the BFEE collected and destroyed.

So what's left to accomplish? Better to retire to his ranch, count his money, and laugh at Kerry as he faces the problems of rebuilding this backrupted country.

19. uh-oh
God's talking to him again.

I recall a National Enquirer Headline from about 1967:

"I ATE MY BABY BECAUSE GOD TOLD ME TO."

I'll never forget that - I was a late adolescent and thought to myself, "Only a crazy person hears the voice of God in his or her head. You'd have to be nuts. People are inspired by various religious principles but who in the world would ever think that the acutal voice of God would sound in one's head?"

I'll never forget that...

22. God would say "You f*cked up big time..."
"Good servant" WTF?

He takes money from the poor to give it to his rich buddies.

His energy policies are destroying the environment.

He started an unnecessary war that killed innocent children and families.

He takes funding away from AIDS clinics in Africa if they are in any way pro-choice.

I've helped SAVE PEOPLE'S LIVES before and I don't remember anyone working with me say they heard God say anything like this. I certainly didn't. But this A**hat can kill thousands and get a personal pat on the back from God....

What IS his diagnosis anyway?

Narcissistic Personality Disorder maybe? He'd be a great case study for some psych major's thesis!

45. The sorry thing is he has been very effective.
Just that he's working for corporate interests, not for us.
What was the definition of fascism again?

Here are two great truthout articles debunking the swift liars- one Rood's , the other Kerry's testimony to the senate in 1971. Please email and hand out to any fence sitters and republicans you can find, so we can help W along towards that really long vacation he seems to be preparing for. 74 days to go!

50. Because The God Excuse
is one of the last refuges of scoundrels!

Just as "patriotism" is. these people cannot understand the difference between PATIOTISM and BLIND NATIONALISM. There is a difference.

Scoundrels just choose to blur the lines and definitions...and justify their depravity, and their rotten actions any way they can. And those two areas, "God" and "patriotism" are the last two refuges of scoundrels.

I mean...stop me if I'm wrong, but didn't Osama and all those other terrorists (the REAL ones...not the boogeymen ridge keeps telling us about...or the ones deemed so by the current Administration for the abhorrent crime of not marching in lockstep with them) didn't THEY claim that they were acting for God...that God had told them to do those things? (Remember, folks, "Allah" is merely Arabic for "God." Same guy. All three of the Abrahamic religions all have the same God...just a different name for Him.

for those who weren't aware, the three Abrahamic religions are Christianity (God or Jesus) Judaism (Yahweh) and Islam (Allah) but they are alll the same guy!

As you see, God couldn't possibly be on both sides, when both sides are so diametrically opposed to one another. therefore, I suspect He's not on EITHER side...and neither of them are on GOD's side! They are merely scoundrels taking refuge in one of the last available places for them!
