Rove is "Bush's Brain". Who Is Bush's Conscience?
June 03, 2006
Brent Budowsky: Election 2006: For Whom The Bell Tolls

Think about it: George W. Bush has created such enormous and intense antagonism among 48% of the Nation that they are unanimously opposed to him and counting the days until they come out in gigantic numbers to end one party government in America. George W Bush has created such widespread disapproval among politically independent Americans that they want change in numbers approaching 80%.

With disapproval now growing among conservatives, the way of the Bush and Rove response is living proof of the core reason that he may remembered in history for a catastrophically failed Presidency and a long term disaster for his Party.

I challenge any honorable conservative to disagree and debate on even one of these points: The George Bush Republican Party is the Party of Big Government, Big Spending, Big Budget Deficits, Big Trade Deficits, Big Current Account Deficits, Big National Debt, Big Brother, Big Oil and Big Scandal.

................

It has been said that Karl Rove is "Bush's Brain". The more important question is: Who is Bush's conscience? With half of America in a state of total outrage, with independent America turning in 80% numbers against the status quo and with growing unrest among conservatives, what is the Bush-Rove response? Well, its their old standby, lets demonize the gays!

49. Yes I agree. The man is crazy no conscience, a sociopathic leader.
Like Saddam Hussein for example. Another is like Ronald Dumsfield. It's either old-age dementia setting in on this man, stupidity can no longer be hidden under his lies, and soon will find a way to send a weapon into Iraq/Iran that will totally destroy all the people, mostly the innocent ones, but, unfortunately collateral damage is a terrible part of war (Dumbsfield statement). Plus since Dumsfield said they knew that Ql Queada and the other terrorists were North, South, East, and West, then they will have to bomb everywhere to take care of that nasty insurgent problem. Hey, even after 100's of thousands of Iraqi's have been killed as well as 2500+ U.S. military and 10,000+ wounded U.S. soldiers, they keep going like they are, Osama may be the only one left alive and then they can help him escape across the border again.

16. Gonzalez, the 15 minute death-row decider.
In case that made no sense to anyone: When The Boy King was king of Texas, Gonzales would do the death row briefings to select the governor's reprieves and stays of execution.

Apparently, and i don't have the link, the governor is supposed to review each case for at least 30 minutes in detail. Knowing that the length of the Great Decider's attention span, Gonzalez helped him skim through each one in under 15.

Buh bye!

23. There is no conscience. That is something wholly not understood by
Bush's team. Shhhhh! Don't mention that word. It will make them feel small.

See - all of us with consciences have been so wrong to dismiss the likes of Karl Rove as "someone to run away from" all of our lives. He sure showed us.

Wow! I really wish I had no conscience. Cause Karl Rove can make the uninformed act on baser instincts and think of one mind.

48. Bush Etc All Have Weak Higher Brain Functions. They Are Dominated
by their lower, Reptilian Brain.

Hence, very little conscience.

29. They are against free market competition, against personal freedoms
and in favor of corporate welfare, and in favor of letting $1 Trillion disappear down the rabbit hole, and they screw the troops out of necessary equipment.

I wonder how their libertarian wing manages to stay in the party. So far, only Ron Paul has been a vocal voice of opposition. The bastards keep targeting him for defeat but he keeps winning.

it limits the tactics you can use.

at least, that seems to be the banana republican position (in reality, not in rhetoric).

To tell you the truth, son...uh...how can I tell you this? Uh...
I've been in this field of poppies a long time myself, and I've come
to find, son, that the only truth in life is right here in this bottle."
I said, "Wizard!"
He said, "No, truly, son. In fact, I'd rather have this bottle in
front of me than A FRONTAL LOBOTOMY!"
How profound, Wizard!

40. Conscience is like a rare blood type amongst these people!
There are simply no donors to give him a conscience. I think we'd have to wait for the Wizard of Oz to act to find someone in the PNAC crowd to have a conscience...

42. I'm convinced he doesnt have one.
Because no one with a conscience would fuck things up the way that Bush has, or would they screw with the American people in the name of the Almighty Dollar more than Bush has.

Of course, I'm also convinced he doesnt have common sense either.
