• Funny, all I hear from the Bush supporters is 'baa baa baa'.
• I mostly just hear nasty booing every time Bush uses the 'L' word. Unfortunately for Bush I think he's been surrounding himself with loyal crowds for so long that he thought taking the same tack in the debates would have been a slam dunk. As it was it just made him sound like he was making every conservative's desparate last stand, "he's a LIBERAL! He's gonna raise your taxes!" In short, they've got nothin'.
• Unbelieveable. Do they have to salute as well? I think that the History and Discovery channels, as well as all the major networks, should start running non-stop documentaries on the Hitler propaganda machine. (Yeah, yeah, Godwin's Law, I know, so sue me. This time it's legit.) Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to run. It's almost time for Five Minutes' Hate.
• They are only promising to 're-elect, re-elect' him. Now that OBL has surfaced with Michael Moore's talking points, this promise cannot be more timely. Every president can be elected a maximum of two times, and since Bush wasn't really elected in 2000 this means that we get to re-elect him this year, and again in 2008. Eight more years!
• Every president can be elected a maximum of two times, and since Bush wasn't really elected in 2000 this means that we get to re-elect him this year, and again in 2008. That's right, why stop with rewriting the Constitution to remove equal protection under the law for gays and other minorities? Let's remove presidential term limits, too. What other great ideas can we come up with? How about writing the Bush Pledge into law?
• Some quotes from our fearless leader: "You don't get everything you want. A dictatorship would be a lot easier." -- Governing Magazine, July 1998 "I told all four that there are going to be some times where we don't agree with each other, but that's OK. If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator," Bush joked. -- CNN.com, December 18, 2000 "A dictatorship would be a heck of a lot easier, there's no question about it." -- Business Week, July 30, 2001
• Look, we're always told that the constitution is a living document, the constitution is a living document... well, all living things eventually die. The constitution is old and suffering. It is no longer able to function. For all practical purposes it is dead. I think it is time that we as a nation took the responsible step of putting it out of its misery. Why prolong the agony? Elect Bush and we can finally put this 'Democracy' mistake behind us and stop obsessing over the life of the constitution, and end these nasty and needlessly divisive 'elections'.
• Here's another juicy quote: ``Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." -- Hermann Goering
• Last night, Dick Cheney came here to Hawai'i. He gave a speech at midnight. On Halloween. That's fucking creepy.
