Okay, I know many DUers would love to weigh in on this. Maybe he'll never get our vote, but maybe our voices will be heard.

"Renounce the Bush Doctrine, repeal the Patriot Act, apologize for Iraq, ..."

19. I Would Vote For George W. Bush If He Would
Level with the American People and answer the following 10 questions:

1. Why is it that you claim to be a friend of veterans and yet have proposed so many cuts to programs benefitting veterans including the closure of some V.A. hospitals?
2. If you believe Sen. Kerry's military service was "honorable" and something "about which he should be proud," then why do you refuse to specifically condemn the Swift Boat Veterans? Aren't values more than something to which one gives lip service?
3. Former Sen. Max Cleland left half of his body in Vietnam. Yet when he came to your ranch with a letter signed by 9 other Congressional war heroes, neither you nor any of your immediate aides had the courtesy to accept the letter. Why?
4. The almost 3,000 victims of the WTC attacks did not die for politicians or political parties. How do you justify using images and emotions related to that tragedy for political gain?
5. You are quoted as having said, "One of the great things about books is sometimes there are some fantastic pictures." Is that why you continued to read "My Pet Goat" for almost 17 minutes after Andrew Card informed you that the US was under attack? Why wasn't the security of America more important than reading a kiddy book?
6. Since you say Sen. Kerry's Vietnam service was honorable and something of which to be proud, do your comments also apply to Kerry's medals? Do you endorse members of the RNC mocking military medals by wearing "purple heart bandaids" at the convention?
7. Is it not true that you Mr. President have flip flopped on more issues than Senator Kerry such as the 9/11 Commission; on calling for a UN vote on Iraq; on creation of the Dept. of Homeland Security; on a Constitutional amendment on gay marriage; on use of the military for "nation building;" on the issue of tax credits for hybrid automobiles; on extending the assault weapons ban; on steel tariffs; on spending the Social Security surplus; on the patient's right to sue; on the Federal Government's position on tobacco buyout; on disarmament incentives to North Korea; on lobbying OPEC; on the Condoleeza Rice testimony; on your pledge to issue regulation based on science; on the presence of WMD in Iraq; on restricting Free Trade; on the importance of capturing Osama Bin Laden; on mandatory caps on carbon dioxide emissions; on an investigation into intelligence failures in Iraq; summits in the Palestinian crisis; campaign finance; on providing financial support for the First Responders; on military benefits; on who was responsible for the "Mission Accomplished" sign; on the fingerprinting and photographing of Mexicans entering the US; on refusing to pass budget deficits; your positions on stem cells and human embryos; about your support of the Low Income Energy Support Program; your position on abortion; on racial profiling; on describing success of US objectives in Iraq.
8. Which of your recent comments about the war in Iraq and terrorism is really your belief: Mission accomplished, mission miscalculated, mission impossible, or most recently, mission possible?
9. Can you explain why $50 million allocated to investigate the Columbia Shuttle disaster, yet only $3 million was allocated to investigate 9-11?
10. Your tax cuts have been described as "WealthCare." Why did the top 1% income bracket receive a 32.4% tax cut while the lower 60% received only a 8.5% tax cut?

3. Is he running for dogcatcher now?
Because that is the only office I might vote for him for. Ontherwise, he is SOL.

On second though, I don't think too many dogs would survive his term as dogcatcher, so that one is out too.

8. Promising to commit seppuku on national television would help
And he really needs to do it, to atone for Iraq, 9/11, all the innocents in Afghanistan and our standing in the world.

12. Why are they even asking? Sounds like Bush is losing and they know it
sounds like a focus group type of question. CNN is conducting focus groups for Bush?

14. Sure does. Good thing Bush never listens to focus groups, huh?
All the more reason to dilute their data. Be sure to click "Positive". ;)

15. here's what I wrote
He must prove that the Iraq war was worth the 7000 lives and injuries to American soldiers by finding WMDs and links between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda. His economic plan must result now in low deficits and high job growth like we had under Democrats.
