Bush: Kerry Suffers 'Election Amnesia'

[maddezmom]

FORT MYERS, Fla. - President Bush (news - web sites) said Saturday that Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites) must be suffering from "election amnesia" because he has forgotten that he once viewed Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) as a threat to America.


After voting to authorize force against the former Iraqi leader, after calling it the right decision when the Bush administration sent troops into Iraq (news - web sites), Kerry now calls the conflict the "wrong war," Bush said.

1. Bush Hoping for Mass Amnesia

http://www.cato.org/dailys/07-15-04-2.html

by Doug Bandow

Doug Bandow, a senior fellow at the Cato Institute, is the author of Tripwire: Korea and U.S. Foreign Policy in a Changed World.

Former U.S. President Bill Clinton's commitment to doing the popular thing politically was legendary. He has met his match, however. If anything, President George W. Bush is even more devoted to turning everything to his political advantage.

The day after former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein appeared in the dock in Baghdad, a story appeared in the Washington Times headlined "Bush Backers See Trial Taking Focus Off WMDs (weapons of mass destruction)." White House spokesman Scott McClellan and Bush campaign manager Ken Mehlman both publicly pointed to Hussein's brutality. One unnamed source told the newspaper: "Put aside the WMDs, and go look at the mass graves."

The Bush administration's strategy is clear: After taking the United States into war based on a lie, get Americans to forget the lie. Playing the humanitarian card just won't do. The administration was blissfully unconcerned about mass graves before 9/11. There were no plans to oust Hussein and end his tyranny even as his security forces continued to arrest, torture, and murder people...

6. W hopes for too much amnesia in too little time

He's lied so many times that even the most compliant * zombies cannot possibly keep up forgetting them. The spin alone is waking them up.

Forgetting the horrendous acts of the worst administration in US history is, to paraphrase *, "hard work. Very hard. Did I mention that it was hard?"

4. What's wrong with this picture?

Bush says that Kerry has election amnesia because he voted for the Iraq War Resolution? Considering all the little things Bush has 'forgotten,' I think it's safe to say that Bush has "election altzheimers" (which is, ironically, something else stem cell research could potentially cure). Let's look at the Bush Record, shall we?


Bush seems to forget that Saddam Hussein was NEVER a threat to the US.
Or that he has presided over the largest deficit in US history.
Or that he promised to be a uniter not a divider.
Or that he promised to be bipartisan.
Or that he tried to stonewall the 9/11 commision.
Or that he tried to link Al-Qaeda and Iraq.
Or that he swore Iraq had WMD.
Or that under him, conditions in Iraq are so bad for our soldiers that some choose to mutiny.
Or that someone in his administration leaked the name of a covert CIA agent.
Or that the economy is TERRIBLE.
Or that he would not engage in "nation-building."
Or that he would pursue a 'humble' foreign policy.
Or that under him, several soldiers violated the Geneva Convention in Iraq and Gitmo.
Or that he alienated our allies and pushed them away, making the US weaker.
Or that he was the president DURING 9/11, prior to which, he was on vacation and ignoring warnings about terrorism.
Or that he had to have Cheney hold his hand while testifying to the 9/11 Commission.
Or that he MISLED Congress, and the people of our nation (which, coincidentally, is why Kerry voted for the IWR)
Or that he is the only president since Hoover to have a net loss of jobs.
Or that he lied to the UN.
Or that his actions have lead to the deaths of over 1,100 soldiers in Iraq alone.
Or that his foreign policy has done nothing but make America weaker.
Or that he has marginalized homosexuals for cheap political gain.
Or that under him, the rate of abortion has increased.
Or that under him, there isn't enough flu vaccines to supply the people of the US.
Or that he has left millions of children behind with his No Child Left Behind Act.
Or that under him, the price of healthcare is gradually increasing.
Or that he promised to send AIDS relief to Africa.
Or that he has failed to adequately fund NCLB, which he considers his "jobs bill."
Or that by attacking Iraq, he has overextended our military, and made it so that should a threat arise, we'll be helpless.
Or that he originally opposed the creation of a Homeland Security Department.
Or that his color-coded terrorist warnings have cost our first-responders millions if not billions of dollars.
Or that under him, poverty is increasing.




So, who do you think has "election-amnesia"?

18. Great post response!

We should all copy this off and hand it to all the Bushistas. What are they thinking? :-)

5. Kerry's explained this over and over...my favorite was in the recent

interview with Candy Crowley.

"No, it wasn't -- because, you see, what we did, we gave the president the authority to load the gun, to hold the trigger so to speak. We didn't tell him to shoot himself in the foot. We gave him an authority that he had to use properly. I would have wanted that authority if I was president because it was the only way Saddam Hussein ever responded to anything was with that threat of force.

But I would have used it very differently and more responsibly. That's the difference."

There's an ad in that answer, I think. I loved it.

9. Okay, chimp-tard, how many times does President Kerry have to explain

this to you? How many ways can he make it clear? Chimp, you're dumber than a box of rocks!!! Please America, vote this twit out of office!!!

12. There'll soon be a new amnesia....

Bush Amnesia...where we forget that there was ever a Bush in the White House!

[maddezmom]

13. the world will never forget

nor will the families in the US who have lost loved ones and the Iraqi's who have died during this unjust war. :(

16. It only exemplifies the Chimp's inability to understand common

english. He really isn't this stupid; he just thinks all of us are.

[LiberteToujours]

11. Same old

We've all heard this a million times before, it can't possibly be having any effect on either side anymore. I guess that's probably all we can expect from now until election, though (barring an October/November surprise).

17. Kerry could trump the little creep...

Kerry could just set a keynote speech and simply suggest the obvious...

"When the President of the United States speaks, of course I listened and I acted accordingly to the request.

But, the same people that lied to you, Mr. President, lied to me, the Congress and the American people to go to war under false pretenses.

I fully intend to do something about it--

You, on the other hand, Mr. President, have done nothing to address your incompetent staff, it's failed intelligence and the debacle in the Middle East and beyond that this great nation now faces"

"How can you protect this nation if you rely on people, now known to have provides false information and whose policies have failed so utterly?"

etc...etc...
Kerry should just produce a national ad coming right out and attacking the whole of the Administration and Bush's role as CEO--who wouldn't fire this clown...jeez
