Final Days

djgh — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 21:46:26 -0800

"On the weekends, he favors two-hour bicycle rides at a Secret Service training facility outside Washington, where he sometimes asks companions and agents to ride behind him so that he can have the illusion of riding alone." With all the focus on the upcoming election, what of George W. Bush?

Blackout

sparky — Thu, 20 Jan 2005 07:56:13 -0800

Blackout Some sites have gone black today in protest of black box voting and/or four more years of Bush. But, actually, I haven't seen many. Are people tired of fighting or is this just a poorly-organized effort no one knows about?

Suicide over Bush re-election

A little over the top? I know some people are depressed but......this?

He's an asshole!

metaxa — Thu, 04 Nov 2004 02:36:06 -0800

Imminent job openings at CNN... Open the link and right click the picture of Bush and wife, click "Save Picture/Image" and look at the filename! In the words of a certain Denis Leary, "He's an asshole, asshole, asshole-e-o-oe-oh". I suggest someone mirrors this ASAP!

Sad day for mefi.....

It's unOFFICIAL! yet again!
Bush wins re-election! And Nader nowhere to shoulder blame.
The consequences.
The deciding demographic? The Evangelical vote. (Interestingly, look how the vote went for Carter, born-again Southern Baptist, in the '76 election.)
So who's to blame? Personally, I point the finger at the PR. Because everyone should damn-well accept the fact that it's not about the issues.
Let the recount and litigation begin!

bohemian election

ciderwoman — Tue, 02 Nov 2004 02:57:27 -0800

Bohemian election. Just a little something to lighten the day. Bound to be a double post but can't find any signs, so apologies in advance if it is. Altogether now, My brother jeb has votes put aside for meeee...

You're an asshole.

"You're An Asshole." A film strip we can all appreciate in time for tomorrow's big event. Try singing along!

American teens have spoken, and they want George W. Bush for president. Nearly 1.4 million teens voted in the nation's largest mock election, and the Republican incumbent wound up with 393 electoral votes and 55 percent of the total votes cast.

Iran endorses Bush

hoder — Tue, 19 Oct 2004 23:28:24 -0800

Iranian regime endorses Bush, saying democrats have historically "harmed Iran." Head of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran, Hassan Rowhani, is very close to the hardline leader, Ali Khamanei. But the truth is Republicans have always helped dictators in Iran,. Biggest example: 1953 coup that toppled Mossadeq, the extremely popular elected official prime minister of Iran and brought back the tyrant Shaah.

and i know a few things about photo essays

The best political photo essay i've ever seen. A cheeky look at Bush's flip flops in the form of a shoe catalogue.

Roll your own presidential stump speeches.

geronimo_rex — Fri, 08 Oct 2004 05:31:32 -0800

Roll your own stump speeches. Comes in two delicious flavors: George Bush and John Kerry.

is Nedra Pickler the author?

amberglow — Thu, 07 Oct 2004 16:07:59 -0800

No need to actually vote, folks: the Election result has already been written by the AP: At this hour, President Bush has won re-election as president by a 47 percent to 43 percent margin in the popular vote nationwide. Ralph Nader has 1 percent of the vote nationwide. That's with 51 percent of the precincts reporting. (they say it's a test article, but who ever heard of an election results article being pre-written?)

Nasty, brutish, and short

adampsyche — Sat, 02 Oct 2004 12:30:53 -0800

How Bush Did. Later for the polls, pundits, and analysis. The five minute .wmv found here sums up the President's performance. Partisan, sliced, edited, and damned ~~scary~~ funny.

What if we voted on issues?

GernBlandston — Thu, 23 Sep 2004 06:22:10 -0800

What if we voted on issues? "They booed the results of their vote. They were upset that they had voted for the 'wrong guy'."

Actual Headline from Reuters

Bush and Kerry Hit Road, Trade Blows on Jobs I can only guess that someone at Reuters has a sense of humor.

Clinton’s Former Aide Drops Windfall in the Lap of Bush Campaign

Postroad — Tue, 20 Jul 2004 08:38:06 -0800

Clinton’s Former Aide Drops Windfall in the Lap of Bush Campaign "...Presidential challenger Kerry will have to think twice before attacking Bush on national security issues lest he lay himself open to reminders that a former Clinton aide and his own adviser was caught red-handed misappropriating classified materials that revealed how a Democratic president mishandled the threat of terror...."

Bush vs. Kerry Flash Cartoon (like we needed another)

Veritron — Mon, 12 Jul 2004 14:54:53 -0800

Yet another political flash cartoon! Anyone else getting tired of hearing the same bland crap about the upcoming election? This flash cartoon somehow manages to be funny anyway, even though its subject has been done to death. It's brilliant, and definitely worth a look.

Bush Will Win Because He's A Jock

Sorry, I had to post this because its about the dumbest article on why Bush will win the election that I have ever seen.

Decline the Nomination

daver — Sat, 10 Apr 2004 16:03:27 -0800

Frustrated Republicans: President on vacation while Iraq burns got you down? Feeling loyal to the party, ideas, or repulsed by the Dems? Agonizing over voting Bush to stay true? Sign the petition, Maybe you won't have to. And Dems, if you can promise to be open minded in November you can sign as well. via Blogging of the President

Getting Evangelicalism All Wrong

marcusb — Sat, 10 Apr 2004 09:48:24 -0800

How the left's fear of a right-wing Christian conspiracy gets George W. Bush -- and today's evangelical Christians -- all wrong. Alan Jacobs (more from him here and here) suggests that the idea that President Bush's evangelical Christianity has an impact on his politics is really a misunderstanding of Bush, fundamentalists, and evangelicals.

Slagman — Sat, 24 Jan 2004 20:22:58 -0800
