Bush lecturing Democrats from overseas . . .
. . . like the chickenshit he is


In Asia, Bush Takes on Democrats at Home

By JENNIFER LOVEN
Associated Press Writer

SINGAPORE (AP)Nov 16, 7:30 AM EST --

From across the world, President Bush took on anti-war and anti-free trade Democrats who won control of Congress, saying Thursday any drift toward isolationism would hinder America's security and economic vitality.

"We hear voices calling for us to retreat from the world and close our doors to its opportunities," he said in a speech at the National University of Singapore. "These are the old temptations of isolationism and protectionism, and America must reject them."

nice touch, lecturing Democrats about isolationism as he tries to muscle business deals for his corporate buddies through the lame-duck Congress . . .

1. He's telling the people abroad that more American jobs are on
the way to Asia! Bush is still pimping away for the BIG Corporations.

2. He is hearing voices again. Can he make himself sound
more delusional? When do you hear these voices pretzel-man? In the shower, while you are on top of your favorite sex toy? Stop listening to the voices in your head and start listening to the people's voice.

6. Remember that everything is either black or white

there is no gray in their world because it makes them think. They do not like to think. It makes them uncomfortable.

5. So, building a 700 mile wall (on a 1500 mile border) is not
"isolationism" ... but supporting businesses that hire illegal immigrants to keep from paying US citizens is "American"?

I also caught that he wants to "liberalize" trade with Asia ... "liberalizing" meaning making the trade more free ... and "liberalizing" profit margins by keeping the low-paying jobs there instead of creating living-wage paying jobs here ...

9. You noticed that too, huh?
Liberalizing the world for the profit of a few at the expense of the American taxpayer -- I should think true conservatives would have a slight problem with that concept, just as we liberals do.

7. Bush shouldn't critizize the NEW government overseas

I'm playing off the people that were like "The Dixie Chicks shouldn't have critizized Bush in England!" or whatever...
