At the Knesset: Bush’s Fine Speech, and Obama’s Fine Whine

[Invisigoth]

Democrats haven’t done too well trying to win the White House by whining about Republican “attacks.” But now they’re fixing that. If whining doesn’t work, whine faster, louder and more often.

Democratic train wrecks Michael Dukakis and John Kerry insist to this day that if only they had “responded to the attacks” fast enough, they would have won. Like his vanquished predecessors, Barack Obama remembers every part of the evil-Republicans-attacked-and-we-didn’t-respond narrative incorrectly.

Both Dukakis and Kerry complained that their patriotism was under attack by Republicans, even though no one can find a single example of a Republican attacking the patriotism of either. Both responded to the imaginary attacks. Dukakis did so in a presidential debate, insisting that George H.W. Bush was calling him unpatriotic even though Bush had just told him he didn’t think that. As for Kerry, who can forget his decision to send former Sen. Max Cleland – a triple amputee with stumps showing in all their glory – wheeling up to George W. Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas, carrying a letter demanding that Bush stop the “attacks”?

[Eurale]

Typical Rat ploy - proclaim a problem or wrong to exist, then propose massive spending programs to fix the imaginary problem or wrong. In political discourse, assign (project) the Rat behavior and beliefs on the Republican, and then attack the projection. So transparent and adolescent, but it works for the knuckle-dragging Rat minions.

"As for Kerry, who can forget his decision to send former Sen. Max Cleland – a triple amputee with stumps showing in all their glory – wheeling up to George W. Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas, carrying a letter demanding that Bush stop the 'attacks'?"

Ah yes, the brave "Viet Nam War Hero" hiding behind a triple amputee. That was classic.

There’s nothing like the “hit ‘em at their strongest point to show them who’s boss” tactic. Obama has it down to a science.

The same kind of terrorists who did this:

support Barack Hussein Obama.

Awesome video every American should review.
How quickly we all forget.

Saw a youngster driving a car yesterday.

Had painted his back window. It said:
Obama 2008
Osama 2009

Cleland, who flew the Machinists(IAM) jet to Crawford, Texas, was accompanied on his mission by former Green Beret John Rassmann who rejected claims by the swift boat group and credited John Kerry with saving his life when he pulled him from a river during a firefight in South Vietnam. “I had bullets flying around me and now they’re calling me a liar,” said Rassmann in a news article.

If I remember correctly, Rassmann “fell” out of Kerry's boat when it bolted from the area. According to others... there was no firefight... and no hail of bullets.

[apocalypto]

The speech might have been fine, but unfortunately it played right into Barack Hussein Obama’s hands. The controversy also overshadowed John Sidney McCain's points.

AWESOM! Bumper stickers, T-Shirts, hats, mugs...I wonder if he’s a Protest Warrior.

"If I remember correctly, Rassmann 'fell' out of Kerry's boat when it bolted from the area. According to others... there was no firefight... and no hail of bullets."

That's exactly what I heard, numerous times over the years. I never heard Kerry-Rassmann's version of it until the 2004 election. The preponderance of the evidence is against them, but they the "innocent by victimhood" defense...and paid for it.

Did B.Hussein O. serve brie with his WHINE?

[sportutegrl]

Either Obama did or did not claim to meet with our enemies without preconditions.

If he did, then the attack is justified.

If he did not claim this, then how can Obama say that Bush was referring to O in his speech? Bush didn't mention Obama by name.

President Bush Blasts Appeasers: Hussein ObamaMessiaHamas Campaign Goes Ballistic!

Hysterical Whiner, Hussein ObamaHamas cries/moans and screams that Bush falsely accuses him of appeasement and whines, “I’m not an appeaser!”

Obama: "I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems, ....I will not weaponize space... I will slow development of future combat systems... I will institute a 'Defense Priorities Board' to ensure the quadrennial defense review is not used ..."

Then, there will be peace in our time without the evil republicans causing war!

My change is good for Muslims, Islamofascists, Black Racists, and Chrislims. $crew the Christians and real Jews!
