It probably wasn’t a good idea for Cheney to recommend that debate watchers go to factcheck.com. Cheney meant to say factcheck.org, a rather decent non-partisan site which — by the way — you SHOULD be checking out regularly. But factcheck.com, on the other hand, points the web user to George Soros’ site. Ooops. It gets even worse though, because if … Read More
Republican Shame Watch
MSNBC is reporting: LANSING, Mich. – Republicans say filmmaker Michael Moore should be prosecuted for offering underwear, potato chips and Ramen noodles to college students in exchange for their promise to vote. The Michigan Republican Party has asked four county prosecutors to file charges against Moore, charging that his get-out-the-vote stunt amounts to bribery. Now, I haven’t researched this, but … Read More
And It Is STILL A Non-Story!
Check out Bush’s cheat sheet:
If Bush Is So Good About Homeland Security . . .
. . . why did the U.S. Cybersecurity Chief just suddenly resign today from the Office of Homeland Security, because of "what he considers the department’s lack of attention paid to computer security issues"? (Source) Can’t be good news for Bush on the day following the debates.
Bush “Finds” Another Military Record Saying He Quit The Reserves
WASHINGTON – The White House said seven months ago that it had released all the records on President Bush (news – web sites)’s stateside military service during the Vietnam War, yet new records are still dribbling out as Election Day approaches. The White House on Wednesday night produced a November 1974 document bearing Bush’s signature from Cambridge, Mass., where he … Read More
Another Eisenhower Republican for Kerry
I’m not sure what an "Eisenhower Republican" is — I believe Clinton used the term to describe anyone who refused to go spend more federal money during a time of deficits (i.e., "Dubya is not an Eisenhower Republican — although Clinton ironically was one."). Anyway, this guy, being Eisenhower’s son and a Republican, is truly an Eisenhower Republican . . … Read More
Undercutting Allies?
JANESVILLE, Wis. – Democrat John Kerry wrongly questioned the credibility of the interim Iraqi leader [Ayad Allawi], and "you can’t lead this country" while undercutting an ally, President Bush said Friday. From here. President Bush then ate some "freedom fries", dissed "old Europe", and talked about how ineffective the U.N. is. Seriously, this is the scariest thing about Bush, in … Read More
Bush Campaign In Disarray Over Kerry Speech
In response to Kerry’s four-point plan on Iraq, Bush said: "Forty-three days before the election, my opponent has now suddenly settled on a proposal for what to do next, and it’s exactly what we’re currently doing." (Source) In response to Kerry’s four-point plan on Iraq, Bush-Cheney campaign spokesmen Steve Schmidt said: "John Kerry’s latest position on Iraq is to advocate … Read More

Unbelievable Liars
How many times has the Bush White House said that all the documents pertaining to Bush’s military record have been released? Seriously, how many times? "The White House says, `We’ve released all of [the documents]. You should take our word for it and this is the evidence.’" – CNN Really? So . . . how come THIS happened following last … Read More
Two Veterans Support Bush
In the latest meme polluting a site I often contribute to, we read this: Veterans Like Bush Or, well, at least he got two endorsements from major veterans groups, the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Except, well, that’s not true. Instead, if you actually come across the news story (tellingly, the prior post has no link), it … Read More
The RNC Damage Control Machine Loses a Gear
Despite the high and — in retrospect — undeserved praise here, the 60 Minutes bombshell wasn’t Ben Barnes (who repeated his allegation that he got Bush the cushy National Guard post). This was the part of the story that hurts Bush (Click "New Bush Service Questions" for the video). It’s about how Bush’s commander was getting pressure to give Bush … Read More
Bush Spat on Vietnam Vets
Not literally. He just suggested that they did a shitty job. This is reportedly what George Bush said to Connie Chung in 1988 when he was interviewed at the RNC in New Orleans: CONNIE CHUNG: The problem, though, would be is if, indeed, [Dan Quayle] made several phone calls or some people made phone calls on his behalf to get … Read More
