Bush Pokes Fun at TV Networks in Debate
RatherBiased.com ^ | October 13, 2004

In Wednesday night's debate, George Bush needled the television networks as unreliable sources after John Kerry cited two TV networks responding to a question about how he could pay for his healthcare proposals.

"In all due respect, I'm not so sure it's credible to quote leading news organizations about--oh, never mind," Bush said.

Full-context video here and here.

The Poodle did mean that "marrying up" remark as a monetary reference, especially given his picket fence grin and laugh. It was funny but insulted Mama T. It was especially crass in contrast with Bush's remarks about his wife and daughters.

I love Laura Bush. She has a way of speaking her mind that is artful. When the Fems says Laura is plastic I get so irritated. To the feministas,,TehRAYZUH is "refreshing." To me, she's just rude and obnoxious. That's not refreshing at all.

I can contrast Laura Bush to Mamma-T and Hillary and Laura almost has a halo. Now, of course that's not the case, but it's pretty close.

I just read the transcript on FNC's website, and Kerry's answer to the "strong women" question was mostly about him anyway.

The young Prince George enters the arena with an aire of confidence and courage shining in his steely deep blue eyes. He faces the two headed fire breathing Dragon that is consuming and destroying everything in it’s path.

The people have been oppressed by this dragon for years and are yearning for freedom from their taxing shackles. The people who can see have named the two heads, one is Socialism who smiles as it applies the chains, the other is Media who magnifies the smile while blinding the people. Prince George is ready to do battle with this fire breathing demon but he has no armor or lance? He only carries the Shield of Faith and the Sword of Truth to battle this evil demon. The Dragon laughs at this small little boy knowing he has destroyed thousands of men with armies of weapons, how can this silly boy hurt a mighty Dragon?

Media breathes a torrent of fire at the Prince, “how can you give healthcare to everyone with prices rising beyond their ability to pay?”

Socialism breaths fire saying, “we can give everyone free healthcare throughout the kingdom, covering the poor, the widows and the children.”

His bronze shield glows white as he deflects the torrent. He swings his sword as he speaks, “you want to enslave the people. You will take away their Freedom and make them slaves to your healthcare plans and schemes while taking away their remaining Freedoms as you make them completely enslaved to you!”

Media breaths back, “healthcare is a right, don’t you care about the poor?”

The young boy swings the blade of Truth, “Of course I care about the poor, Freedom and the free market will provide the care. Healthcare is being destroyed by your trolls who are killing doctors and rampaging hospitals. If we can free the Doctors they can provide the care.”

Flames pour from media’s mouth, “how can you say you are compassionate if you will not allow science to cure diseases from embryos?

Socialism sends a second blow, “I can make the lame walk and blind see when we worship and sacrifice to our god Science for cures.”

The Prince’s Shield is glowing red as he swings his ever sharpened sword, “would you kill your youngest son to save your oldest? These questions are not easily answered, but you must protect life, that means all life not just the lives you deem worthy.”

“But what about energy”, screams media?

His Sword flashes, “you have closed down the producers of energy. You have blocked every attempt we have made to make sure we have adequate production of our own energy. You have enslaved the people to your suppliers of oil, when we could have opened our own supplies. Now we are at their and your mercy thanks to your oppressive rule.’ The battle goes on and on about the conditions in the Kingdom and outside the kingdom. The Two Headed Dragon knows it is in a final battle and with a mighty swing the Prince chops of the head of Socialism with the sword of Truth. With that, the mortally wounded Dragon flies off to never be seen again.

The people come out of their houses cheering and removed their blinders and shackles to hail the brave Prince. Free from the Dragon’s repression the kingdom grows and prospers beyond their wildest dreams as Faith and Truth provide the people their paths.

Pray for W and Our Troops

Kerry misspoke. He said he and President Bush married up.

Well, President Bush did, but what sKerry meant to say was that he married ketchUP.

His wife suffered from depression.

She's only human after all. I would be depressed, too.

Nice story.. I liked it Would that it were true..
It ain't.. As the democrats move even further to the left and republicans do too.. Pretty soon the republicans will be occupying where the democrats WERE... if they don't already..

By the way the democrats WERE socialists almost universally since at least 1980... They had a few Zell Millers but very few.. More important than the term socialist is the term democracy.. Democrats are for democracy.. which the U.S. ain't. Its a republic, at least it used to be... The morphing of the U.S. into a democracy is well advanced and completeing the final stages now.. The story is flawed but cute.

Democracy is the road to socialism. Karl Marx

Democracy is indispensable to socialism. The goal of socialism is communism. V.I. Lenin

The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism.- Karl Marx

NOTE ** The meaning of peace(no polarization) in the U.S. is also the absence of socialism.. or the absence of capitalism.. where we're headed it looks ominous for capitalism in the long run.. Social Security is about to eat capitalism alive.. and with 77 million greedy treasury parasite baby boomers due to retire killing social security probably won't happen.. Say hello to the republican party the socialist party of the future...
