Time to eat your own #@($, BTR you fascist @$#*tard:
President Bush: Flip-Flopper-In-Chief
September 2, 2004, Updated
1. Social Security Surplus
BUSH PLEDGES NOT TO TOUCH SOCIAL SECURITY SURPLUS... "We're going to keep the
promise of Social Security and keep the government from raiding the Social
Security surplus." [President Bush, 3/3/01]
....BUSH SPENDS SOCIAL SECURITY SURPLUS The New York Times reported that "the
president's new budget uses Social Security surpluses to pay for other programs
every year through 2013, ultimately diverting more than $1.4 trillion in Social
Security funds to other purposes." [The New York Times, 2/6/02]
2. Patient's Right to Sue
GOVERNOR BUSH VETOES PATIENTS' RIGHT TO SUE... "Despite his campaign rhetoric in
favor of a patients' bill of rights, Bush fought such a bill tooth and nail as
Texas governor, vetoing a bill coauthored by Republican state Rep. John Smithee
in 1995. He... constantly opposed a patient's right to sue an HMO over coverage
denied that resulted in adverse health effects." [Salon, 2/7/01]
....CANDIDATE BUSH PRAISES TEXAS PATIENTS' RIGHT TO SUE... "We're one of the
first states that said you can sue an HMO for denying you proper coverage...
It's time for our nation to come together and do what's right for the people.
And I think this is right for the people. You know, I support a national
patients' bill of rights, Mr. Vice President. And I want all people covered. I
don't want the law to supersede good law like we've got in Texas." [Governor
Bush, 10/17/00]
....PRESIDENT BUSH'S ADMINISTRATION ARGUES AGAINST RIGHT TO SUE "To let two Texas
consumers, Juan Davila and Ruby R. Calad, sue their managed-care companies for
wrongful denials of medical benefits 'would be to completely undermine' federal
law regulating employee benefits, Assistant Solicitor General James A. Feldman
said at oral argument March 23. Moreover, the administration's brief attacked
the policy rationale for Texas's law, which is similar to statutes on the books
in nine other states." [Washington Post, 4/5/04]
3. Tobacco Buyout
BUSH SUPPORTS CURRENT TOBACCO FARMERS' QUOTA SYSTEM... "They've got the quota
system in place -- the allotment system -- and I don't think that needs to be
changed." [President Bush, 5/04]
....BUSH ADMINISTRATION WILL SUPPORT FEDERAL BUYOUT OF TOBACCO QUOTAS "The
administration is open to a buyout." [White House spokeswoman Jeanie Mamo,
6/18/04]
4. North Korea
BUSH WILL NOT OFFER NUCLEAR NORTH KOREA INCENTIVES TO DISARM... "We developed a
bold approach under which, if the North addressed our long-standing concerns,
the United States was prepared to take important steps that would have
significantly improved the lives of the North Korean people. Now that North
Korea's covert nuclear weapons program has come to light, we are unable to
pursue this approach." [President's Statement, 11/15/02]
....BUSH ADMINISTRATION OFFERS NORTH KOREA INCENTIVES TO DISARM"Well, we will
work to take steps to ease their political and economic isolation. So there
would be -- what you would see would be some provisional or temporary proposals
that would only lead to lasting benefit after North Korea dismantles its nuclear
programs. So there would be some provisional or temporary efforts of that
nature." [White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan, 6/23/04]
5. Abortion
BUSH SUPPORTS A WOMAN'S RIGHT TO CHOOSE... "Bush said he...favors leaving up to
a woman and her doctor the abortion question." [The Nation, 6/15/00, quoting the
Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, 5/78]
....BUSH OPPOSES A WOMAN'S RIGHT TO CHOOSE "I am pro-life." [Governor Bush,
10/3/00]
6. OPEC
BUSH PROMISES TO FORCE OPEC TO LOWER PRICES... "What I think the president ought
to do [when gas prices spike] is he ought to get on the phone with the OPEC
cartel and say we expect you to open your spigots...And the president of the
United States must jawbone OPEC members to lower the price." [President Bush,
1/26/00]
....BUSH REFUSES TO LOBBY OPEC LEADERS With gas prices soaring in the United
States at the beginning of 2004, the Miami Herald reported the president refused
to "personally lobby oil cartel leaders to change their minds." [Miami Herald,
4/1/04]
7. Iraq Funding
BUSH SPOKESMAN DENIES NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDS FOR THE REST OF 2004... "We do
not anticipate requesting supplemental funding for '04" [White House Budget
Director Joshua Bolton, 2/2/04]
....BUSH REQUESTS ADDITIONAL FUNDS FOR IRAQ FOR 2004 "I am requesting that
Congress establish a $25 billion contingency reserve fund for the coming fiscal
year to meet all commitments to our troops." [President Bush, Statement by
President, 5/5/04]
8. Condoleeza Rice Testimony
BUSH SPOKESMAN SAYS RICE WON'T TESTIFY AS 'A MATTER OF PRINCIPLE'... "Again,
this is not her personal preference; this goes back to a matter of principle.
There is a separation of powers issue involved here. Historically, White House
staffers do not testify before legislative bodies. So it's a matter of
principle, not a matter of preference." [White House Press Secretary Scott
McClellan, 3/9/04]
....BUSH ORDERS RICE TO TESTIFY: "Today I have informed the Commission on
Terrorist Attacks Against the United States that my National Security Advisor,
Dr. Condoleezza Rice, will provide public testimony." [P

"Getting"? They've gotten desperate, and are not trying to catch the
hysterics.

This screed from some one who can't tell the difference between a "cat

Sure S.O.D., tell us how John Kerry is such a consistent principled
statesman, and a nice guy to boot.

This person is mentally unstable. It has such a craven and pathetic need
for attention that when I don't respond to it, it has to start new
threads with my screen name in the header to try and bait me into a
response.
It's the same reason that it keeps changing its own screen name. People
easily become repulsed by its behavior and quickly killfile it so every
couple of months it has to come up with a new "identity" to evade the
killfiles and get the attention it so desperately needs.

machine gun from something covered by the Assault Weapon Ban Convinced as
he is that any thing used in an assault must be an assault weapon, he's
unable to tell the difference between an "house cat" and a "cat house" -
they have the same words in them, they must be the same, nicht wahr?
