Bush Revamps Speech Amid Tight Race (doubts creeping in?)
ALAMOGORDO, N.M. - President Bush (news - web sites) says he's campaigning for re-election "as if we are going to win," remaining confident despite polls showing a tight race with Democrat John Kerry (news - web sites).


Asked in an interview broadcast Monday whether he has considered the fact that he could lose, Bush replied, "I'm not there yet."


"I believe we're going to win and I'm campaigning as if we are going to win," the president said in the interview taped for broadcast Monday on ABC's "Good Morning America."

5. "I'm not there yet." This answers a multitude of questions.
Mr. President:

Will you ever stop lying about Iraq? "I'm not there yet."

Will you ever stop telling the American people they should cower in fear? "I'm not there yet."

Will you ever stop bankrupting the country? "I'm not there yet."

Will you ever stop claiming that it is the mission of the US military to bring freedom to every country in the world? "I'm not there yet."

Will you ever stop claiming that God told you to invade Iraq? "I'm not there yet."

Will you ever stop injuring yourself? "I'm not there yet."

Will you ever stop being the worst president in US history? "I'm not there yet."

8. "I believe we are going to win and ...."
Of course he believes he is going to win. He is counting on Wonder Brother to deliver the votes for him! He can't quite come out and say "I AM GOING TO WIN"... that would be tantamount to his saying, I AM STEALING THE VOTES AGAIN!

9. Gee, looks to me like Bush will say anything to get votes
Makes you wonder what he really stands for, if he stands for anything. Doesn't look comfortable in his own skin. One day he's mincing around in a flight suit, the next he's a good ol' boy (with millions in the bank) in a nuevo cowboy outfit. Then it's off to look presidemential at the debates, and then back on the stump with his regular guy sleeves (tm) rolled halfway up his forearm.

10. that's mighty darned close to a concession...
That is always the language the loser adopts before the real vote.

Let's keep up the good work.

14. It's amazing!
Every time I think Bunnypants (who hid in Crawford because of the 1100 coffins on display in D.C.)cannot get any STUPIDER, he does.
What a pathetic little COWARD and MORON.
