The Bush/Cheney re-election website is officially online today.
You can take a quiz on the President's accomplishments, add Bush/Cheney headlines to your blog, sign up to be a Bush team leader, and read snippets of why "everyday, more people support President Bush!"
We have to admit, it's a pretty good website. Heavy on the grassroots, visually stimulating, full of talking points you can email to your friends or local radio stations.
But we cringe when we start reading things like this:
I came to office to solve problems, not to pass them on to other Presidents and other generations. I came to seize opportunities and not let them slip away. (Bush editorial, "A Charge to Keep")In Iraq, a dictator was arming to threaten the peace. And he defied the demands of the world. He didn't defy just the demands of the United States, he defied the demands of the United Nations Security Council -- not once, but many times. And so, for peace and for the security of the free world, we removed that regime. And the Iraqi people are now free. (Compassion News)
It is clear that the future of freedom and peace depend upon the actions of America. This nation is freedom's home and freedom's defender. We welcome this charge of history and we are keeping it. (Applause.) Our war on terror continues. The enemies of freedom are not idle, and neither are we. This country will not rest, we will not tire, we will not stop until this danger to civilization is removed. (Applause.) (Homeland Security News, "President Says America Will Expand Realm of Freedom and Peace")
Sure, in a campaign, you have to talk big. But when you're an incumbent, you also have to back up your bold words with real accomplishments. And this is where Bush/Cheney '04, Inc. falls short.
1) That should read 'The Bush/Cheney election website'
2) You've not mentioned that Bush and Cheney are email spammers. The President and Vice President seem to think it's actually OK to stick their hands into our pockets and outright blatently STEAL money from us to force us to pay, even if incrementally, for their election messages by way of sending out spam emails.
Posted by: Joseph Bridgewater on September 9, 2003 07:29 PMSince the discovery of the Bonobo in 1984, science now recognizes the chimpanzee to be the latest hominid Earth creature to develop in the family of primates, having evolved for just a few million years. Modern humans appear to have been in the works more than three times longer. Yet Chimps as a species outclass even "Homo Sapiens" for unabashed feelings/demonstrations of superiority, warlike/homicidal demeanor and usurping/controlling grasp. Of course, Chimps do exhibit famous limitations in intellectual capacity. Still, some attain communication skills that approximate the adorable human 3-year-old! Among Earth creatures, therefore, we must admit that the outlandish George W Bush stands for a somewhat leading edge prototype.
While you consider whether your next vote might completely waste the proud history of a formerly glorious nation, or simply to repast pleasant reveries, be sure to revisit http://www.bushorchimp.com/
Posted by: Paul Suckow on October 7, 2003 12:13 PMFor all you LIBERAL MORONS who choose to degrade and bash GW BUSH I got one thing to say, "Get the HE!! out of this country and take "Slick Wille" Clinton, his wife, Teddy Kennedy, Mr. "I'm on both sides of the fence on almost every issue" Kerry and the rest of the bleeding heart liberas with y'all! Where were you idiots when Clinton was in office? Did you know Mr. Kerry voted for a $.50 a gallon tax on gas? Huh? Probably not. Thank God for GW or Sadaam Hussein and the rest of the terrorists would be running amuck!! BUSH-CHENEY '04!!!
Posted by: Mark on May 24, 2004 02:53 PMThanks for pointing me to the Bush-Cheney '04 web site. I just made a contribution to their campaign. Very convenient, so much so that I'll likely make some more. Thanks again.
