- Alheithinn, on 12/06/2008, -0/+13Remember, Neocons live in the Dark Ages. They don't realize there are things like cameras and recorders that take down their every word. Look at Michele Bachman claiming she never said the media should investigate Democratic members of Congress for being un-American. She says it's an "urban myth." Of course, you can actually watch her saying what she now denies saying. Facts mean nothing to these people - less than nothing. They apparently think we're as stupid as they are.
- inactive, on 12/06/2008, -0/+11This, more than anything, is the Bush culture. Go back and read some of the comments from his business school profs and fellow student. Even then, Lil' George was an inveterate liar.
His most common debating tactic? Making a statement and then a minute later flatly denying he said any such thing. - MJG2007, on 12/06/2008, -0/+9Oh, what a shocker. Reminds me of, ‘We’ve never been stay the course".
BUSH: We will stay the course. [8/30/06]
BUSH: We will stay the course, we will complete the job in Iraq. [8/4/05]
BUSH: We will stay the course until the job is done, Steve. And the temptation is to try to get the President or somebody to put a timetable on the definition of getting the job done. We’re just going to stay the course. [12/15/03]
BUSH: And my message today to those in Iraq is: We’ll stay the course. [4/13/04]
BUSH: And that’s why we’re going to stay the course in Iraq. And that’s why when we say something in Iraq, we’re going to do it. [4/16/04]
BUSH: And so we’ve got tough action in Iraq. But we will stay the course. [4/5/04] - merelywatching, on 12/06/2008, -0/+9The Republican Party is becoming more and more 'cultish' in their behavior and commentary. Sort of like the nut hatches in WACO, sort of like the Timothy McVeigh...
You can provide them with irrefutable facts, film footage and eye witness statements, but they will continue to deny the truth. They just don't get it.
I suspect it's not kool-aid they are drinking... - Lofnheidr, on 12/06/2008, -0/+8I think even children, who may not know what a recession is or what it does or even why it happens, knows we are in a recession. Every adult on the street and worker in the stores knows, and definitely anyone who has a 401K or stock portfolio knows we are in a recession. That is the thing about definitions, they only come into play after it is completely obvious to everyone else. Waiting 6 months to be sure that it is a true recession and not just a "really bad time for working Americans" isn't good for anyone.
- apastafarian, on 12/06/2008, -0/+6Funny, they never said Bush was the worst president ever either. Hmmm...
- JenniferInMO, on 12/07/2008, -0/+6GOP Operative Training 101:
Lesson 1:
Repeat: The sky is not blue
Lesson 2:
Repeat: The sky is not blue
Lesson 3:
Repeat: The sky is not blue
Commencement Ceremony: Now get out there and tow the party line. - Morchades, on 12/06/2008, -0/+4Democrats are a little better right because in order to be the opposition party they're forced to side with reality.
- scottknick, on 12/07/2008, -0/+3The GOP operates on the cynical assumption that voters have no memory and are unable or unwilling to go check the facts, even as the Internet has made this very easy to do. And it must be admitted that this approach has had its successes. Even today shockingly large percentages of the American public believe that Iraq had something to do with 9/11 and that the absence of WMD in Iraq is something we knew about only after the invasion. For a long time this revisionism was nearly 100% successful, and even today it works tolerably well.
It looks certain that GWB will never be formally rebuked for creating the "unitary executive," with its dictatorial powers and its insistence on creating its own reality, past and present. And so that power is still on the table -- mighty, seductive and profoundly corrupting. Will Obama have the strength of character not to don that mantle, even when it could do him a lot of short-term good? Will the next president? And the one after that? - inactive, on 12/07/2008, -0/+3Mission accomplished! Remember Bush in that flight suit, 30 miles off the San Diego coast, how ridiculous was that. We didn't mean the Iraq mission, (whatever that was) the ships mission- that's it, yeah that's the ticket...
- JenniferInMO, on 12/07/2008, -0/+2Excellent find.
- JenniferInMO, on 12/07/2008, -0/+2That is why the extreme religious people are the most loyal political supporters. They never question authority.
- Olfster, on 12/07/2008, -1/+1I think Bush is a as dumb a person as an ivory league school could stand to produce, no matter what the donation his daddy was willing to give, but he was doing the right thing by not mentioning the "R" word or playing down the economy, though I wonder if it was his handlers more than him. People's perception of the state of the economy is a major part of... well the state of the economy.
