Work with me or be left out: Bush

[everythingsxen]

By Terence Hunt in Washington
US voters had backed President George W. Bush's agenda for sweeping change at home and abroad, Mr Bush said today.

He warned that Democrats and others must work with him or be left behind.
He was also unapologetic about the unpopularity of his policies in many world capitals, such as his commitment to spread democracy in Iraq and other parts of the Middle East.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

1. He really thinks he's a dictator now

[EndElectoral]

24. I got news. He is a dictator now...He has absolutely no checks anymore!

[Cha]

30. ** is not my DICtator!

Fuck bush!

[Thurston Howell IV]

44. I think the Senate still exists

If the democrats have balls, that is. You don't need a majority to gum up the works in the Senate.

[depakid]

46. "If the democrats have balls"

We shall see. Dems have been acting like abused women for so long that it's become seemingly obligatory.

[BayStateBoy]

75. Yep, Fuck 'Em. We Prefer to Be Left Out

[VegasWolf]

2. See, when you have a "mandate" you can act this way. New Rule:

Bow to the east when you mention the name of bush.

[Straight Shooter]

68. I think the "New Rule" will be:

Bend over, with your a** facing Florida's penis peninsula.

Repeat once a day, until it feels normal. Then increase to twice a day, upon arising and before retiring to your bed of straw at night.

[punpirate]

3. For all those Democrats in Congress...

... this is what the fuck you got for conciliation, bipartisanship and a spirit of cooperation. Hope you enjoy it. We, the people, won't.

[AlCzervik]

4. arrogant pos

we all know they want a one party system but it aont gonna happen, f him and his mandate.

[The Zanti Regent]

40. Who needs two parties when Diebold rigs the counts?

As Mike Malloy said, you just wait until 2006 when Diebold is in EVERY American polling place. All Bush needs is five more Nazis to break filibusters. He will get them with Diebold.

We have to go back to the Wobblies model. ALL of the have nots need to form a single union and shut down the economy with a general strike. Everything has to be shut down until the Nazi goons will listen. Everything.

Joe Hill was right. Don't mourn--Organize. Wolf Blitzer can't lie to us if we cut off the power. Adam Nagourney, Judith Miller, Kit Seelye, David Brooks and Whoreen Dowd cannot lie to us if we form a human wall around the Screw York Times and block their propaganda rag from coming out.

Wall Street cannot work if their computers are hacked. Banks can't open if we refuse to drive the armored cars to them. Sponsors of hate radio cannot survive if we mass outside and deny entrance to anyone who wants to buy from them.

And the Republicans cannot legislate if thousands form human rings around the Congress and remind them that WE are their masters.

[Born Free]

50. Who needs two parties when Diebold rigs the counts?

They stole votes in every of the last few elections, slowly taking key spots and they have gotten to the point they can coninute to steal elections without America ever considering any thing is unusual. I was confused when we had so many problems with college students signing pettitons unkonwing that signing it automatically change their registration to republican - I wondered how the GOP would use that, now it is obvious, that way they could claim more republicans came out to vote - beautiful strategy, make it appear mor erepublicans stood in line to keep the status quo, even though everything poiints for a change.

DEMOCRATS are done, ther eis no othe rparty now, as long as they control the election process.

[July]

56. Undoing e-voting should be our number one priority.

If we don't accomplish that, we can forget ever winning another election.

[abelenkpe]

84. agreed

I don't know why there wasn't more effort put into getting rid of electronic voting before this last election.

Our democracy has been hijacked. But I don't see a general strike ever happening when half the country wont participate and will probably actively try to stop it.

Especially when Progressives are non violent and the right wingers are openly brutal.

[RapidCreek]

89. I'm a progressive and I'm NOT non-violent.

Speak for yourself.

RC

[Inland]

5. So leave us out. n/t

[aquart]

20. Yup. Go to, Georgie.

History awaits.

[Flammable Materials]

6. Bipatrisanship, GOP style...

No ass, bitch, no backstage pass.

Now you know why Grover Norquist calls it "date rape".

[MasonJar]

7. Screw you, Stump.

[alphafemale]

9. I second that sentiment. eom

[Flammable Materials]

8. Print this out and stick it in your car window ...

... or your office cubicle, or on telephone polls, or wherever it can be seen:

[gavodotcom]

10. I'll be left out, kthx.

[truthpusher]

11. Sounds like the 'Work for us now or work for us later' t-shirt that was...

...mentioned by a DU a few days ago...icky.

[Skip Intro]

12. Didn't he just say yesterday he was reaching out?

Now its his way or the highway.

I mean, that "reaching out" bs was just yesterday!

You know, FUCK YOU BUSH.

[VegasWolf]

13. Hah! Good one! reaching out with a fistfull of vasoline! n/t

[GoblinToe]

14. Leave me out then.

I have never felt so removed from my own country as I do now.

[Disturbed]

17. "He really thinks he's a dictator now."

He is usually wrong but this time he is correct.

Amerika will now sink down into a 3rd World Fascist Police State.

Thank you to all of the morons.

My question is do I leave or stay and fight the Fascists.

[ElectroPrincess]

54. I'll stay and fight like my ancestors before me ...

I have to keep quiet when my Mother-In-Law talks about how the South could have won the Civil War. True. We're still fighting the Civil War in places like New Orleans. Yuck!

My ancestors fought on the WINNING side: The North. As horrible as the prospects are for such horrid civil unrest, I'll stay and fight for our Democracy. Democrats need to learn to be team players, set aside their pride on certain low level issues, and come together for the greater good - reclaiming our civil liberties from the radical right wing.

[Delphinus]

53. Agreed, GoblinToe.

I was so sure going into this election that I was going to get my country back. The harsh reality is that, by the time * is done, our country will not exist. Will it be like the Phoenix, rising from the flames? Or will it simply go into the history books as a failed experiment?

[smirkymonkey]

15. "Left Behind"?

You mean we won't get to participate in the Rapture? Oooo. He means business.

[dethl]

47. Rapture, eh?

Bah, I'll just take his car come the rapture :P

[theHandpuppet]

51. I'll just take his dogs...

They deserve better!

[Malva Zebrina]

16. So what will they do?

They were ignored the past four years, often left out or not invited to important conferences.

Work with him or be left out.

Threats will come from Bush without any restraint. What this does in the eyes of those who voted for his social issues is tell them that the Democrats are, indeed, the enemy. If it were left up to me, I would go independant of it all. What is the difference? May as well be the enemy with some integrity and honesty.

This little puny prick now believes he is Augustus Caesar.

[KitSileya]

66. I've already started working on the the Norwegian election

The two parties that seem most ahead, opposed sending Norwegian soldiers to Iraq. The conservative coalition government laid down on their backs and spread their legs for Bush. Guess who I'm working for?

Norway's not a very large country, and it's not a member of the EU, but by God, after 09/05 it will have a government willing to tell the truth to Bush, if I have something to do with it!!

[SammyWinstonJack]

70. It's good to be the King

He can leave me out! The arrogant POS!

[hatrack]

18. The only quote you need to know for the next four years:

"Bipartisanship is just another word for date rape." - Grover Norquist

[iamjoy]

19. Does This Include Children?

If they won't work with him will they be left behind?

[murielm99]

22. Haven't you heard?

They have already been left behind.

[UpInArms]

21. the "uniter" strikes again!

I am so not impressed.

Don't you just love the smell of fascism in the air?

:puke:

[gordianot]

23. He reminds me of an old Russian proverb.

"Life is a shit sandwich and every day you have to take another bite." This will last for only 4 years, it is like a protracted sentence.

[FlaGranny]

25. Yesterday he said

he would cooperate with those that agree with him, too. He's so generous.

[Erika]

26. I Agree Bush is a POS

His arrogance now that he is a lameduck is beyond belief. His motto to agree with him or you are not relevant is what he did to the U.N. and why our troops and taxes are bearing the vast brunt of his war.

I can't even tolerate talking to those who I know voted GOP because of their lack of thought to our kids who are dying.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

27. He's going ahead without us?

Fine by me, I don't fit in with the "in" crowd anyway. :)

[sweetheart]

28. sadly he's already dead

Its sortof a bummer, cuz, were he living, we could wish him dead,
but as he's not, there's little point in expecting any warm blooded
conscience. He's got all the morals of other cold blooded mammals
(dead ones). He sucks the blood of those who oppose him to leech
them in to his vampire cult. The others, he eats alive, savouring
their living life force as he crawls in to his nighly tomb.

Fuck you bush, you pusillanimous evil thug. Your cult threats
of excommunication are soooooo 500 years ago.

[Cha]

31. Good Read!

Like you've peg bush!

[moondust]

29. Still the politics of fear and intimidation.

Staying the course on the "my way or the highway" dictatorship.

Oh, and spreading "democracy" (at gunpoint).

[Triana]

32. you stupid mysogenistic f*ck...I'm a woman...

...I will be LEFT OUT no matter what. And YOU will help see to it that I am, I'm sure.

Prick. The swiftest and sharpest Karma on your ass, George.

[Contrary1]

33. He can create a new program

and plunge us into debt even further...

"No Democrat Left Behind" has a nice ring to it.
Go ahead without me, Morans.

[fortyfeetunder]

34. Mr. Bush, heed the words of your ventriloquist

Go fuck yourself.

[reprobate]

35. Democrats and the rest of the world.

Better strap in folks. You know that feeling you get in a high speed elevator as it plunges down? Well, that's just how it's gonna feel as the rest of the world turns on the fuhrer.

You can expect an attack on the dollar and a switch to the euro for the world's petro reserve funds. And, as he makes the tax cuts permanent for the rich, and more and more jobs are lost,tax revenues will plunge. This means the deficits will soar, but selling the bonds to pay for it will be harder so interest rates will soar along with them, which will drive the economy further down. The big thing is the euro switch. That'll mean the dollar will no longer be a fiat currancy, so they won't just be able to print more when they want to spend. So Lil' Boots will be very limited in what he can do. In fact, that may be the way the world stops him from taking it over.

Sig Hiel, George. Enjoy the ride while it lasts.

[Cinletharwi]

36. Counter-threat to his paymasters:

Get out of our media and government now, or starve

55 Million people refusing to buy their products and services might make them listen. Vote with your dollar, it's the only Democratic vote they will ever count again.

[daleo]

37. This is why Kerry's early concession was a mistake

Now we will never know how much was vote fraud, so we will never know how much was anything else. Kerry betrayed not just the American center to left, but the entire world. Now, nobody can be sure how much of this was a (reasonably) honest representation of the U.S populace, and how much was vote fraud.

[bhikkhu]

38. Count me out

Out of the system, out of the economy, out of the tax rolls (for all practical purposes, that is). I hope everyone else feels the same. Don't fund their wars, their concentration camps, their countless little schemes we won't even find out about until we're too old to care. Right now, count me out. Let the repugs try to run the economy without us - BUY NOTHING.

[Furity]

39. I'll be left out

Left behind, whatever. I intend to spend that next 4 years laughing at you asswhipe. I'm sure I'll have plenty of tears for every Dem that is affected by your hateful policies. But for you and your ilk, nothing but laughs. May you reap what you sow, MOFO.

~Furity

[hangloose]

41. This guy doesn't care what you or anyone thinks because he is

anointed by God for a higher purpose. What he has to say he says with smug arrogance to those of us not part of the "Dominionist" faith, we are non-believers, we don't count, not really. He makes you feel like shit,like the shit on the bottom of your shoe. You have to pay attention to it, but you scrape it off as soon a possible.

[colonel odis]

52. he may not care, but the corporations who own him care. n/t

[Erika]

42. I know the Hatred Is Strong and the Hatred is Deep

Talk to everyone about it and use your $.

[britpopper]

43. Leave me out...

Is that a threat or a promise...

[Carolab]

45. He's SUCH a

UNITER!

[flygal]

48. There he goes with that "left behind" crap again..

Rapture anyone?

[Sara Beverley]

57. Know thy enemy!

http://www.yuricareport.com/

[Piperay]

49. Been left out for the last 4 years so

nothing new in this. :mad:

[rocktivity]

55. Compared to what?

:shrug:
rocknation

[Mountainman]

58. Fuck Bush, leave me out, I sit and watch the train wreck from the

sidelines. I've said here many times. People will not learn until they get burned. It is an inevitable thing that must happen. In some future time the people will rise up and overthrow this regime but until them it has to run it's course.

[llmart]

60. Right on!

We have a dumbed down populace and I will not be a part of it. I'll remain outside the mainstream as I always have and watch the nutcases scratch their heads when things get worse and worse.

Fuck you Bush. I don't want any part of you and your ilk anyway. I'm proud to be from a Blue State. That may even be the best bumper sticker yet. Anyone know where I can get one?

[Q]

59. I always thought that a 'president' represented ALL the people?

- It's too bad that half of this country is illiterate...or they would understand that he's acting like a dictator.

[Bonhomme Richard]

61. I will not empower evil.

"Nothing is so unworthy of a civilized nation as allowing itself to be governed without opposition by an irresponsible clique that has yielded to base instinct."

First Leaflet

[74dodgedart]

62. 51% is not a mandate...Bush needs to get over himself.

It's going to be an ugly four years.

[AFSCME girl]

63. Hey *,

Go F**k yourself! :grr:

[missile_bender]

64. So now American imperialism is called "spreading democracy"?

That's kind of like giving somebody AIDS and calling it "spreading love".

[shrike]

65. This Democrat says, "Kiss my ass, Bush"

Lord, I've used so much foul language on DU in the past few days. Feels good, tough

[zara]

67. obstruct with a principled smile

The Senate Dems should obstruct everything, based on Principle. Did the Republicans do any less during Clinton era?

[saigon68]

71. Kick

[zara]

74. what's kick?

just wondering

[FlaGranny]

69. I just sent the president

an e-mail which, of course, he will never see.

"Subject: "Work with me or be left out."

"I am one of the half of all Americans who will be left out. Your arrogance is noteworthy."


I hope they don't send the Gestapo after me.

[Kukesa]

90. Kick! n/t

[The_Casual_Observer]

72. I wonder if he can really deliver on any of this

The way I see it, his major "triumphs" were sending the military to Iraq and Afghanistan, and pushing through his tax plan. These things were done in the shadow of the 9/11 scare. It remains to be seen if the congress is stupid enough to follow him down these other holes without the fear factor.

[Sequoia]

73. HE CAN BURN IN HELL

HELL HELL HELL HELL. HE IS NOT MY PRESIDENT AND NEVER WILL BE. NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER. AM I MAD? WILL I STAY MAD? YES, I WILL BE MAD AS LONG AS HE IS THE DICK TATOR TOT

[Anakin Skywalker]

76. So Leave Me Out Already!

I don't want to work with a bumpkin like shrub anyway. If you work with him, you will get all the blame when he f***s up, and as the past 4 years have shown, it's what he does best. Any Dem who cows to shrub and the rethugs' demands should be ridiculed as another Zell Miller.

[President Kerry]

77. nov3 = dark dark day for America....

deliver us from evil

[VegasWolf]

78. We won't be left out if we obstruct every damn thing you do. Takes

60 Senators to overcome a fillibuster.

[girl gone mad]

81. Not for long.

In an article at Foxnews.com on possible Supreme Court nominations, C. Boyden Gray, former counsel to the first President Bush said the following about the filibuster rules in the Senate ...

"As it stands today can block ... But I also believe that the president and majority leader may well decide to change the rules given the elections ... The president has a very strong political support, potential support, for asking for and getting this change."


http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/week_2004_10_31.php#003940

[VegasWolf]

82. Wow, we're talking Nazi Germany here!

[screembloodymurder]

79. We've got to make a show of strength.

Everyone that voted for Kerry should drive with their lights on so we can all see how many of us didn't vote for this POS.

[Steelangel]

86. Yup

I certianly hope that democrats will not take his craps... I know for sure that government cannot run on its own without democrats. Or unless he decide to declare that he is a dictator (to media & mass, I mean)

Democrats MUST have the balls to defend or our democracy will be DEAD.

[screembloodymurder]

80. We've got to make a show of strength.

Everyone that voted for Kerry should drive with their lights on so we can all see how many of us didn't vote for this POS.

[thinkingwoman]

83. Yes, please, leave me out of it

I want no responsibility for what is about to occur.

[emalejim9]

85. All we need is state wide initiatives or propositions

Think about it, we craft the language to remove BBV or have a traking method to double check the counts. In additon we could put language that we 2 people representing each party at all times. Any language to protect voter rights we can add. In addition, we can shit can the recent Fair Voters Act. All at the state level.

[turbo_satan]

87. Oh, Goody. Four more years of "Fuck you" governance.

[wellstone_democrat]

88. "Not my president. Not my problem"

22% of the 51% that "voted" for Bush* on "moral values" can be concerned with this. As part of the 80% of the 49% who did not, I think the mandate is with me and mine.

Dig your own grave pal, I'm not going to help.

[NastyRiffraff]

91. Proud Member of the Coalition of the Left Out

The Chimp will never be my president. Never. You can't leave me out, you arrogant moron, if I was never with you in the first place.

Hatred is a strong word that I rarely use about another human being, but I deeply, strongly hate this man and everything he stands for.
