Desperate

They'll do anything, say anything to hold on to power. It is, the end all and be all of their tiny, perverse universe.

President Bush and leading Republicans are increasingly charging that Democratic presidential nominee John F. Kerry and others in his party are giving comfort to terrorists and undermining the war in Iraq -- a line of attack that tests the conventional bounds of political rhetoric.

Appearing in the Rose Garden yesterday with Iraq's interim prime minister, Ayad Allawi, Bush said Kerry's statements about Iraq "can embolden an enemy." After Kerry criticized Allawi's speech to Congress, Vice President Cheney tore into the Democratic nominee, calling him "destructive" to the effort in Iraq and the struggle against terrorism.
...
On Saturday, House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (Ill.) said at a GOP fundraiser: "I don't have data or intelligence to tell me one thing or another, [but] I would think they would be more apt to go [for] somebody who would file a lawsuit with the World Court or something rather than respond with troops." Asked whether he believed al Qaeda would be more successful under a Kerry presidency, Hastert said: "That's my opinion, yes."

Fat little Denny Hastert is a special case of a sad sack of shit. A little man who lives in a position of prominence by the grace of others...he's sold his soul to old scratch so many times that there's little real estate left for anything resembling morality or goodness. After all, who among you can say you ever heard of Denny Hastert before he became Speaker By Default?

I guess that if there were to be an internet movement to send cards, letters and faxes to the fat little shit reminding him that He Who Shall Not Be Named, brother to Bush Bidness Rescuer bin Forgotten is still out there because of the incompetance of republicans, well that would be a 'bad' thing? I guess that such a campaign would mean the Terra™-ists had won, right? Well, maybe only by the low standards of republican incompetance....

Hastert was a high school wrestling coach before he became Tom Delay's bitch. He's said he believes politics should be played like high school wrestling -- winning is everything. Illinois will have to send several Barack Obamas to Washington to balance out this wad.

It is obvious now that Bush and his Republican partisans believe that there is some benefit with the electorate in trying to connect Kerry to the charge of aiding the insurgency in Iraq or, at least, that he is "soft" on terrorism.

Yes, this tactic is beyond the accepted boundaries of political rhetoric, whatever that may be, but the GOP thinks they are on to something. There is no limit to their venal methods. Lies, misrepresentations and smears of a genuine American hero in order to elect an incompetent who continues to run away from his responsibilites is a symptom of moral bankruptcy. For those who believe in hell, there has to be a special place set aside for these evildoers ... probably next to the area reserved for the New World Spanish of the 15th and 16th centuries.

Republicans have a long history of setting aside political differences to support a war effort.

That's why they opted not to field presidential candidates during WWII, Vietnam and while troops were deployed in Bosnia.

Well of course Denny Hastur knows Osama's preferences for the US presidential elections.

They chat on the phone a couple of times every week, after all.

And don't forget, Bush is indebted to the bin Laden family for his failed business ventures in the 1970s-1980s. Guess catching the brother of one of your financiers would be tough, huh?

I bring this point up every time I argue with wingnuts. Get's em frothing every time.

...can embolden an enemy?!?!?
I guess those millions of dollars that Chalabi got didn't embolden the enemy. And all of the top secret information that Chalabi got and gave to Iran surely didn't embolden the enemy.
And of course, macho-sh*thead phrases "Bring them on", certainly wouldn't embolden an enemy.

Sidenote: At the RNC, Cheney claimed that this was "a war that we didi not start."
Question: How does one "not start" a "preemptive" war?
