Bush rhetoric becoming more aggressive

....

"There's a lot more in (Kerry's) record that the American people are going to hear and know about by the time it's all over," said Karl Rove, Bush's chief political adviser.

Looking ahead to the final debate, set to focus entirely on domestic issues, Bush is devoting more time to talking about Kerry's record on taxes, health care and other domestic issues.

....

Bush then warns — his audience often chanting along with him — that Kerry "can run but he cannot hide" from a record that the president criticizes as both unimpressive and unabashedly liberal.
<more> (liberal, liberal, liberal)
Sounds pathetic to me...but hey, I'm not a swing voter - nor a Republican base who needs energizing.

[Bullshot]

1. It's 1992 all over again.

[Kimber Scott]

39. It's 1932 all over again.

I heard Bush on the radio while I was in a store today and he was screaming like Hitler. It's scary.

2. Turn about is fair play Rove

"There's a lot more in (Kerry's) record that the American people are going to hear and know about by the time it's all over," said Karl Rove, Bush's chief political adviser."

[Justice]

3. Bush campaigns like he governs - recklessly

The man is out of control. His whole approach to Kerry is to spew lies and mischaracterizations. He denies the truth, and fights like a cornered dog. He will say anything. He will do anything. All he cares about is winning.

He does not show me that he has any faith at all.

[JoFerret]

5. Why does Bush hate America so...?

.

[NVMojo]

8. because he is a spoiled idiot tyrant

and he wants his way and that is to remain the most powerful man in the world. He will win this election one way or the other because he gets his way and there are alot of others who want to remain in power with him.

[JoFerret]

13. Master temper tantrum Bush

...lashing out at America and pouting and scowling and thinking naughty uncontrolled thoughts.
Tsk - he needs his mommy to help him control his Oedipal ragings.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

18. Because it is free, it is free to see him as he really is... it is free to

vote him the hell out of office (even though he was never voted in).. it is free to debate pertinent issues concerning foreign affairs... it has people in government strong enough to resign in light of the incredible misplaced hubris expressed by the pResident... it is free to do what is right and not what is convenient for corporate interests.... it is free to demand answers from the commander in chief and it is free enough to fire him if he screws up.

He hates America cuz we're free.

Other countries dislike us for entirely different reasons.

[drscm]

10. Exactly! For *bush, it is all about winning, period!!!!!!!

When confronted with his smears against McCain in the last primary, he said defensively, "I won, didn't I?"

It's simply about winning, regardless of the lies it takes to get the win.

[Dark Jedi]

23. Hey Good Catch, drscm

His base will make excuses for this type of thing though. Hell, they are all just like him, winning at all costs, profiteering at the expense of fellow Americans, etc. It's amazing how conveniently they whip up excuses to cover their faults.

[DoYouEverWonder]

15. Reckless is a word we need to associate with Bush

I was polled this weekend and that was one of the key words that they were on about.

They wanted to know if I thought Kerry was a risk taker and/or if I thought Bush was reckless.

Bush is definitely very reckless.

[CAcyclist]

21. Also Embarrassing

I have never been embarrassed to be an American until Bush and I have never been so embarrassed until the first part of the second debate when Bush lost it and rampaged around the room. All I could think of is that the rest of the world is watching and they think we have lost our minds to allow this man to continue to sit in the White House.

I am also especially embarrassed about how he started blaming first his generals and advisors and then Europe for going to war in Iraq when that woman asked him to admit to 3 mistakes.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

17. All he cares about is winning.<<

The alternative may bring both domestic and international jail time... I wonder if this ever crosses his mind.....

I wonder if he realizes just how many mistakes he has made... and I wonder if he knows why he cannot admit them....

[Dudley_DUright]

4. I seem to recall him saying this same thing about Osama Bin Laden

"He can run but he cannot hide".

More empty threats from a desperate little man.

[JoFerret]

7. Wanted: Dead or alive

BUSH: There's no cave deep enough for him to hide. He can run, and he thinks he can hide, but we're not going to give up.

35. You know, that would be a GREAT Kerry line

In the next debate, when Bush says "You can run but you cannot hide" Kerry should turn to him and say "You know, Mr. President, that's exactly what you said about Osama Bin Laden, so I suppose I have no reason to be worried."

6. He has to look at Kerry's record since his is a miserable failure.

* indeed ! Supreme Court can't help you this time !

[demokatgurrl]

12. He only has a short list of things he can keep

in his mind, hence these same old tired slogans over and over again. He totally disgusts me.

Guess what Bush. You can hide behind Condi's skirt but we can still see you have nothing to run on.

[muriel_volestrangler]

9. Is Bush reverting to his cheerleading days?

He seems to think his job as president is to get a partisan crowd chanting along with him. It's so juvenile, it's embarrassing for America.

[JoFerret]

14. Good point

His glory days of shouting through a bullhorn and whipping up an adoring crowd to hate (America).

I think that there's a fair chance of Bushy having a public meltdown in the next three weeks. A full-blown tanty.

[Gloria]

20. Our only chance for meltdown redux is at the debate....from then on

it's all friendly audiences and massive free media swooning and vicious ads aimed at Kerry...

[Dark Jedi]

27. Rah Rah! The Economy is Stroooooooong!

Heh. Reciprocal cheerleading :) His base does as much for him as he does for them. Only he is playing them for fools and they are too incurious to know it.

[IADEMO2004]

11. Kerry is running straight at you Mr. pResident.

and even Air Force One can't fly you far enough or fast enough for you to hide your ass.

[JPace]

16. Poor "furious george" thinks ranting and raving....

equals strength. People are beginning to
catch on that he is immature and unable
to communicate well so he uses his fury
to impress the people.

[Gloria]

19. But smear campaigns do work as McCain will tell you...I long for Kerry

in the debate to look at Bush and say that "You are the one running from your record on Iraq and by the way, you're the one who ran from your military service."

It won't happen, I guess... but really, I wish someone would aim that one right between Bush's beady little eyes...

Frankly, I think the October surprise, which shouldn't even be a surprise, is the massive ad spending coupled with the PUBLIC AIRWAVES being used by Sinclair for a free anti-Kerry infomercial on behalf of Bush. I hope we have some big gun lawyers on this and that it can be stopped.

[CAcyclist]

26. What I hope is:

I am positive Bush will use that stupid cliche "can run but can't hide" at the last debate.

I am hoping Kerry will pause, take a long regretful look at Bush and say. "I'm staying right here, George. If there's any running away, it will not be by me."

[Cocoa]

22. Kerry should call Bush "desperate"

say, Bush is lashing out because he lost both debates.

No one likes a tantrum-throwing loser.

[Stephanie]

25. Bush is a Loose Cannon -

He is no statesman, that's for sure.

[Stephanie]

24. I am SO fucking sick of this cliche: "unabashedly liberal"

WTF?! Do they ever say unabashed conservative? NO! So if you're liberal you're generally expected to be embarrassed about the fact?

[Doosh]

28. definition - "We're losing"

[Catfight]

29. I recall Mr. Bush hiding behind a class room of children on 9/11 reading

The Pet Goat. Of course Bush will go on the attack, he attacks everything to keep the finger off himself. Kerry never hid from anything, Bush is the coward.

I really wish Kerry would hit the ball out of the park though on this damn "he saw the same intelligence I saw," and just put Bush in his place. I'm Bushed over Bush.

[lovuian]

30. STAY THE COURSE!!! YELLING!!! STAY THE COURSE!!!

Did ya hear him is that what they mean!!!

[IndianaGreen]

31. More desperate is more accurate!

They have thrown everything including the kitchen sink into this campaign, and the polls show that Bush will join his father in his retirement. Nothing that Bush says or does can change the dismal record of this Administration.

[wishlist]

32. Kerry can hit him hard now that no one will feel sorry for little Georgie

I think Kerry went a bit easy on Bush in the second debate just because he didn't want Bush to get any sympathy votes as an underdog against an overly harsh sounding Kerry. But now since Bush has gotten so aggressive, Kerry needs to get more tough and aggressive too in the last debate. I have complete confidence that he will.

[sonicx]

33. "Bush rhetoric becoming more desperate"

better headline

[robbedvoter]

34. W's f favorite part of politics: whispering campaigns, smearing

Please stop blaming it all on Rove and give W the credit of beeing a mean SOB:

http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2004/09/16/tsurumi/in...

Students who challenged and embarrassed Bush in class would then become the subject of a whispering campaign by him, Tsurumi said. "In class, he couldn't challenge them. But after class, he sometimes came up to me in the hallway and started bad-mouthing those students who had challenged him. He would complain that someone was drinking too much. It was innuendo and lies. So that's how I knew, behind his smile and his smirk, that he was a very insecure, cunning and vengeful guy."

[Disturbed]

37. Bush ran and hid on 911/01.

When this coward was suppossed to protect America
he went on vacation. On 911 he got on a plane ran and hid.

[realFedUp]

36. What color pill is he on today? n/t

[daleo]

38. Bush - You can run but you can't hide

Because me and Cheney have already take all the good hiding places.

[nolabels]

40. Thats just it, he is trying to hide behind Kerry

What thing can that miserable failure claim as an accomplishment.

Kerry said it flat out in the last debate.

[justjones]

41. All I remember is Kerry looking at The Chimp like the punk-ass frat boy...

that he is during the debate. You could see it in Kerry's eyes, he's not afraid. Bring it on, Chimpboy! KKKarl! Bring it on!
