A Compilation Of Some The Most Outrageous Recent Misstatements From The Left

President Bush is working to change the tone in Washington while Democrats continue their partisan, inaccurate attacks. We have compiled a few of their constant outrageous misstatements. Check back each week for the latest ridiculous rhetoric from the left.

Terry McAuliffe - “When George W. Bush wakes up on the morning of November 6, he’s going to be met by screaming headlines about a Democratic sweep. And he’s going to want to go back to sleep and pull the covers over his head . . . because he’ll know that we’re coming after him next.” (Terry McAuliffe, Speech To New York Democrat State Convention, May 22, 2002)

Senator Hillary Clinton - I live in the real world. I got on the subway in the Bronx a few weeks ago and a woman came up to me who works seven days a week.” (“Hillary Clinton Plans To Concentrate On Local Issues,” Business Week As Cited In The Bulletin Frontrunner, May 31, 2002)

Paul Begala - “The difference between Martin Sheen and George W. Bush is Martin Sheen is actually convincing when he acts like he’s president.” (CNN’s “Crossfire,” June 4, 2002)

Governor Howard Dean – “I actually call this act the ‘leave every child behind’ act.” (CNN’s “Inside Politics,” June 3, 2002)

Senator John Kerry - “I say it’s time we make clear to the Republicans that we will not let them make a mockery of the phrase leave ‘no child behind.’” (Sen. Kerry, Speech To Massachusetts Democrat State Convention,” May 31, 2002)

Terry McAuliffe - “The Justice Department’s efforts appear to be motivated by the narrow political interests of the Bush Administration.” (DNC, Press Release, May 31, 2002)

Senator John Kerry - “We must uphold the promise of Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Carter, and Clinton and never allow the President and his Republican friends to threaten Social Security by putting it on the Wall Street trading block.” (Sen. Kerry, Speech To Massachusetts Democrat State Convention,” May 31, 2002)

Terry McAuliffe - “The reason Republicans have tried to make the war a campaign issue is because they have no fresh ideas to present to the American people . . . because they have no solutions to our domestic policy challenges . . . because they have no agenda that reflects the values of working families.” (Terry McAuliffe, Speech To New York Democrat State Convention, May 22, 2002)

Terry McAuliffe - “Are [Republicans] going to run on their plans to contaminate our air and water and then stick taxpayers with the clean-up bill?” (Terry McAuliffe, Speech To New York Democrat State Convention, May 22, 2002)

Terry McAuliffe - “To distract us from the broken promises . . . the President and other Republicans have tried to use the war as a partisan political prop, claiming that we need to elect more Republicans in order to defeat the forces of terror.” (Terry McAuliffe, Speech To Maine Democrat State Convention,” May 31, 2002)

Thank you...I didn't realize Google cached The Onion. The funniest part is, I bet Gore thought a lot of these things while on campaign stops. Then again, most politicians probably do, especially near the end of a long campaign tour.

Google caches nearly everything. archive.org is also good for monitoring changes and finding cached older sites.

Mayor Mike Bloomberg, Republican of New York City, is a quiet, amazingly humble man. He actually takes the subway to work every day.

Hillary came to the subway once, for a photo op. She ordinarily barrels around the city in her armor plated limo (at taxpayer expense) plus secret service entourage, occasionally running over someone like the police officer at Westchester County Airport asking for credentials.

That article from The Onion was so funny I had a coughing fit reading it.

I might have considered voting for Al Gore if he was ever even remotely that amusing.

Nah.

I stumbled across that Poster on eBay, of all places, and stole the link to it . . .

No - I didn't bid on it . . .
