Bush chides father for election remarks
http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews.aspx?type=politicsNews&storyid=2006-10-22T193206Z_01_N22305445_RTRUKOC_0_US-BUSH-FATHER.xml

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush gently admonished his father for saying he hates to think what life would be like for his son if the Democrats win control of Congress in the November 7 election.

It was the latest sign of possible strain in the relationship between the two men.

"He shouldn't be speculating like this, because -- he should have called me ahead of time and I'd tell him they're not going to (win)," a smiling Bush told ABC "This Week" in an interview broadcast on Sunday.

Earlier this month, the elder Bush was reported to have told a Republican fund-raiser in a Philadelphia suburb that "if we have some of these wild Democrats in charge of these (congressional) committees, it will be a ghastly thing for our country."

He was also quoted as saying, "I would hate to think ... what my son's life would be like" if their Republican Party lost its majorities.

Can you spell HAGUE, Poppy? I knew you could.

1. Why is Bush so sure we are not going to win?
I get a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach when I hear him talk like this.

8. Oh, please
The moron also told Pat Robertson there would be no casualities in Iraq. He's just a crazy, stupid son of a bitch and nothing more.

16. I guess I figured out the hacked voting machines a long time ago.
It's obvious to me why Bush is so confident. The fact that his buddies own the vast majority of the machines, plus the fact that he is kept in the dark about what is really going on outside.

That's why you cannot think of other scenarios. Ever. That's why I'm steady.

14. God forbid your son 's life should ever be uncomfortable.
That he should ever have to suffer or take responsibility for ANYTHING in his whole damn worthless life.

Let our troops suffer instead.

17. disgusting I thought the elder Bush was a "realist" no they're royalists
momma Bush notoriously said in interview that she did not need to pay attention to numbers of casualties that people questioning the war in Iraq were being unfair to her son
they think the country the world is this dynasty's back yard to mess up exploit ooops sorry 600 000 dead,

petulant criminal sociopaths yuck

15. Right, and that story has nothing to do with
Jim Baker and looking at different options on Iraq. He's just making out like he and Poopy don't talk.

I wish there more wild Democrats, or whichever ones are wild would get a little wilder.
