  • 17 Bush lies of 1,001 Bush lies:

    1. He said he beleived CO2 was a pollutant that should be regulated, (then abandoned Kyoto, without proposing an alternative)
    2. He said he’d leave no child behind, (then didn’t fully fund the measure)
    3. He said he would unite us, (but refuses to compromise on anything)
    4. He said we’d have surpluses as far as the eye can see (Bush may need glasses)
    5. He said our foreign policy should be humble (HA HA HA!!)
    6. He said Niger sold Iraq uranium, (outright fabrication of the evidence in contradiction of all other intelligence, that he later retracted)
    7. He said Iraq had nuclear weapons (nope, sorry)
    8. He said Iraq had chemical weapons (didn’t find these either)
    9. He said Iraq had biological weapons (he really meant to say "program related activities")
    10. He said Iraq had unmanned attack drones (the Air Force said they didn’t think so)
    11. He said Iraq had mobile weapons labs (sorry, they were mobile hydrogen factories for balloon deployment)
    12. He said he knew where Iraq hid the banned weapons (funny that he didn’t find any)
    13. He said Iraq and Al Qaeda were allies (he later retracted the claim)
    14. He said our troops would be greated with flowers not violence (hello? Falujah? about 750 dead soldiers?)
    15. He said Iraqi oil would pay for the war (no, we’re deficit spending to pay for it)
    16. He said his prescription drug plan would only cost $400 billion (knowing full well that it cost about $130 billion more)
    17. He said the sailors put up that "mission accomplished" banner (knowing full well that his White House advance team brought it).

  • According to the Miami Herald poll, done by Zogby International, Kerry is positioned to win Miami-Dade by anywhere from 90,000 to 100,000 votes.

    A margin that large in Florida's most populous county would be hard for Bush to make up across the rest of the state [...]

    Overall, Hispanics -- both Cubans and non-Cubans -- still support Bush, according to the Herald poll, with 62 percent saying they will vote for the president and 35 percent saying they will vote for Kerry.

    Nevertheless, that is a tremendous improvement for the Democrats over 2000, when 73 percent of Hispanics favored Bush and only 27 percent voted for Gore.

    And almost all of those gains for Kerry have come from Mexicans, Salvadorans, Dominicans, Colombians and Puerto Ricans among others. Many of whom are going to be voting for the first time.

  • ONATHAN CHAIT
    For Bush, Too Late for Honesty
    Missing munitions spark an explosion of administration excuses.
    Jonathan Chait

    October 29, 2004

    On Monday morning, the New York Times reported that 380 tons of powerful explosives had disappeared from a military complex in Iraq that the American military didn't safeguard. An honest supporter of President Bush would reply to this by arguing that, despite this mistake, there are plenty of good reasons to reelect him anyway.

    The week before the election, though, is too late for honesty, especially for a campaign so committed to the infallibility of its candidate. And so Bush and his allies have been forced to argue that no, neglecting to guard a lifetime supply of bomb-making material does not in any way reflect poorly on Bush's military strategy. Indeed, if anybody is tainted here, it's Kerry. This exercise in defending the indefensible offers a kind of morbid hilarity. So far, I count seven distinct lines of argument:

    1. Look at the bright side. Kerry, insists Vice President Dick Cheney, fails to "mention the 400,000 tons of weapons and explosives that our troops have captured and are destroying." This is sort of like arguing, "Your honor, the record should reflect the countless times I've driven to work without swerving onto the sidewalk and mowing down dozens of pedestrians."

    2. Consider the source. Why, Republicans ask, are we finding out just now about this? Well, for starters, it was less than two weeks ago that the International Atomic Energy Agency informed our government of the lost explosives. A Wall Street Journal editorial imputed dark motives to the fact that the information leaked, without explaining why the U.S. government was keeping it secret in the first place, or why the fact that it leaked detracts from the substance of the story.

    3. Don't judge. As the Journal pleaded, "Some 380 tons of frightfully powerful stuff has gone missing, and the objective before us should be to locate it, not locate blame." In other words, the military can't search for the bombs unless the voters withhold judgment about Bush.

    4. Kerry reads newspapers. "What would he do as president? Get up every morning and say, 'I'm going to govern based on what I find in the newspapers?' " sneered Karl Rove. "John Kerry will say anything he believes will help him politically," wrote Bush campaign manager Ken Mehlman, "and today he is grasping at headlines to obscure his record of weakness and indecision in the war on terror." The horror — Kerry is letting world news infect his judgment.

    5. Kerry's a hypocrite. "After repeatedly calling Iraq the wrong war and a diversion," Bush declared, "Sen. Kerry this week seemed shocked to learn that Iraq was a dangerous place full of dangerous weapons." This is a bizarre inversion of reality. Bush justified the war primarily as a way to keep weapons out of the hands of terrorists, yet his handling of it led to exactly that result.

    6. Kerry hates the troops. "The senator is denigrating the actions of our troops and commanders in the field," Bush insisted. By this logic, any criticism of Bush's military plan amounts to blaming the troops. By the same Orwellian logic, statements like the one from Bush supporter Rudy Giuliani — "The actual responsibility for it really would be for the troops that were there. Did they search carefully enough?" — do not count as blaming the troops.

    7. It was like that when we got here. Republicans seized on an NBC News report that a U.S. Army brigade had inspected the site in April 2003 and found no weapons. This claim fell apart after NBC and the brigade commander said the Americans merely stopped at the site without inspecting it. Bush and his allies have since retreated to claiming that the explosives may have been moved before the war started. This is possible, though highly unlikely. David Kay, the man Bush chose to search for WMD in Iraq, said such a transfer probably would have been detected by U.S. satellites. And KSTP, a Minneapolis TV station that had staff embedded with troops who went into the area, has footage of U.S. troops coming across what look to weapons inspectors very much like the explosives in question, cracking open locks and then departing. There have been reports of systematic looting since.

    But even in the unlikely event that the weapons disappeared before the war, it would hardly forgive Bush's policy of invading without enough troops to secure vital weapons caches. The point is that he didn't plan for the peace, which included safeguarding weapons. Suppose it turned out that the pedestrians struck by our reckless driver all suffered fatal heart attacks moments before they were run over. Sure, the driver would be exonerated of their deaths. But as far as evaluating his driving skills — or Bush's war-planning skills — it makes no difference at all.

    Cheney's military draft dodging

    Dick Cheney received five deferments from the military draft between 1963 and 1966.

    Sept. 1959: Enters Yale.

    June 1962: Withdraws from Yale.

    Jan. 1963: Enters Casper College in Wyoming. Receives first student deferment.

    May 1965: Cheney earns his bachelor's degree from the University of Wyoming. While there, his student deferment was renewed twice.

    Fall 1965: Enters graduate school at Wyoming and receives another deferment.

    Jan. 1966: Receives fifth deferment under a provision exempting men with children from military service when his wife becomes pregnant.

    July 28, 1966: Cheney's first child, Elizabeth, is born.

    Jan. 1967: At 26, Cheney is no longer eligible for the draft.

  • It's going to be a close election. But what says more? The fact that Bush, campaigning during a time of peace and prosperity, couldn't muster a solid victory over Gore? Or the fact that Kerry, campaigning during a time of war and econonmic decline, can't muster a solid victory over Bush? It's no wonder the "Kerry supporters" never say anything nice about him and instead prefer to attack Bush. Apparently there is nothing nice to say about him other than "at least he isn't Bush." And what do they have to look forward to in the next election? Kerry if he wins and is able to run again, or Hillary. How very depressing it must be to be a democrat these days.

  • Al Jazeera has just played a tape of Osama bin Laden that refers to a recent event in Iraq. It was authenticated by "the government," though I'm not sure what agency. The tape lists a litany of complaints about the Bush Administration and highlights the motivation behind September 11.

    "The Bush Administration resembles a corrupt Arab government."

    "Bush is misleading Americans."

    "September 11 would have been less severe if George Bush had been more alert," Bin Laden said.

    "In addition, the infidel George Bush is outsourcing America's future with tax cuts to the wealthy. Where are the 1.6 million jobs? The infidel Bush is the first infidel since the infidel Herbert Hoover to lose jobs! Awake from your slumber, America! The infidel John Kerry has a plan. You can do better, Insha'Allah!"

    "Let me tell you, I spoke to the infidel Christopher Reeve a week ago, and if the infidel John Kerry is elected President, Insha'Allah, the infidel Christopher Reeve will walk again!"

    "Are you infidels aware that the infidel John Kerry killed infidels in a war of imperialist infidel aggression in Southeast Asia?"

  • Former U.S. Representative Pete McCloskey, R-California, from an article in the Palo Alto Weekly, September 8, 2004. McCloskey, who is active with Republicans for Kerry, says of members of the Bush administration, "These people believe God has told them what to do. They've high jacked the Republican Party we once knew."

    "The war is just a misbegotten thing that's spiraling down. It's a matter of conscience for me. After 9/11, the whole world was behind us. That's all gone now. That's been squandered. Now we've made the entire Muslim world hate us. And for what? For what?"

  • "When I turned my boat in Vietnam into an ambush and I went straight into the ambush and overran it, I didn't see George Bush or Dick Cheney at my side," Kerry said. "So I'm not going to take a second seat to anybody in my willingness to be tough to defend the United States of America. I did it when it mattered, and as president I will defend the United States of America with everything I have."
