See what I mean... What a bunch of tools on this site...
Not edveryone but so closed minded and tired!
I was responding to the previous comments. If people are going to be so anti-0Bus and silly than I feel compelled to respond.
Isn't it alright for me to have a difering opinion?
I am not some right wing nut... In fact I am not republican at all but I am sooo tired of small minded people bashin ght USA and out President and thinking it's okay or that everyone agrees with them.
I am here to tell you that I support the president and my country!
I'm sure the president is grateful for your support.
But he already has a job (paid for by taxpayers, primarily the working poor) and a home (similarly paid for) and is not in any immediate need of support. The people who lost their homes and jobs in Hurricane Katrina really do need our support.
American has both rich and poor. Do you only support the rich?
Mr. Bush referred to his political base as, "the haves and the have-mores." Which one are you, dwinkler?
It was at a fundraiser and it was shown on all the major network news programs at the time. Here's a link to an article referencing it in the right-wing Washington Post. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A16434-2004Nov27.html
You righties have a habit of denying things you said or did. If you'd do and say things you weren't ashamed of, you wouldn't have to deny them afterwards.
And there is no such thing as a "good person" who thinks that delaying aid to survivors, preventing aid from reaching survivors, blocking roads so that survivors couldn't leave, and keeping survivors without food, water, or sanitary facilities in the Superdome long after a group of 100 foreigners had been secretly escorted out of there under cover of darkness (3 white Americans were with them), is anything but hatred of blacks and the poor. Good people are horrified. Those who are not horrified are not good.
Hi. No, in fact, Bush did speak that line about the haves and have-mores. You can hear audio of the moment at http://politicalhumor.about.com/library/blbushism-elite.htm. (I had a little trouble but did succeed in downloading the mp3.) That the audio is not manufactured you can verify by reading reports by CBS and CNN on the remark at http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2000/10/18/politics/main242210.shtmland http://archives.cnn.com/2000/ALLPOLITICS/stories/10/20/al.smith.dinner/, respectively. The Washington Post did not invent the incident. I accessed all these links within the last hour; they were working as of my posting of this message.
However, to be fair, Bush said the line at a charity fund-raiser in New York where political candidates are supposed to poke fun at themselves. Gore also spoke. The line was meant to be funny.
However, to be even more fair, some of us little people who can’t afford $800 a plate dinners---or decent health care, or new glasses, or a car, or a few other funny little things---might be excused if we are a little cool in our reception of such hijinks. I’m reminded of Bush’s comedy skit for the Radio and Television Correspondents' Association Dinner in 2004 in which he looked in his closet and under his desk for WMDs and called out “those weapons of mass destruction have got to be somewhere!? (Yeah, that one’s real too. See http://www.thenation.com/blogs/capitalgames?bid=3&pid=1336.) Perhaps not perfectly hilarious, when we think of those killed or maimed really looking for (nonexistent) WMDs in Iraq. On this man’s say-so.
"My son was killed in Iraq. Last night I saw George Bush laughing about that." --Jorge Medina, father of US Army Spc. Irving Medina, 22, KIA 14 NOV 03, Baghdad, Iraq.
Sir, I have no wish to call names, or to be called names. Fellow leftist melon-heads: why don’t we shame the right, which is always blithering about values and civilization, by showing ourselves not only more scrupulous about fact, more caring, better-informed, and better-reasoned, but more civil?
A factual correction is needed with your comments regarding the President's job is "paid for by taxpayers, primarily the working poor." Please check the IRS website, and you will clearly see that 80% of all Federal income taxes are paid by the top 20% of income earners. Now, that having been said, the President has an obligation to all US citizens, regardless whether rich or poor, black or white, female or male etc. But making broad statements that are factually incorrect just add fuel to the emotional fire and do nothing to help accurately clarify the debate.
