Scott McClellan on Bush "reaching out"..."his arms are only so long"
It's already started...the built-in excuse for a continued bi-partisan Washington and the Bush "I tried to reach out, but the Democrats didn't reach back" victim speech.

WASHINGTON - The White House claimed a second-term mandate Thursday for President Bush's agenda to keep taxes low and revamp Social Security, appealing to Democrats to help bridge America's political divide after a bitter election.

"The American people spoke clearly about the agenda they want for the next four years," White House spokesman Scott McClellan said.

Bush reached out for the broad support of Americans on Wednesday, even those who voted against him.

"I might point out that his arms are only so long, it's important for others to reach back as well," McClellan said. "We expect there will be Democratic leaders that want to reach back as well."

1. Well, that lasted a whole day.
Fuck off, Scotty.

I'm not reaching back to someone who's been calling me and all liberals names for four years.

Oh, and did I tell you to fuck off?

4. they spoke out alright
Edited on Thu Nov-04-04 11:05 AM by enki23
but what they were saying wasn't "lower taxes," it was "hurt the fags." according to just over half the people in this fucking country,you have a mandate to disenfranchise, harass, imprison, perhaps even do worse to gay men and women in this country.

6. I'd like to reenforce the
"fuck off" sentiment from the last post.

Clinton had bigger mandates than this. Where were the arms reaching back then?

Fuck.
Off.

8. America must bow to my Total Dictatorship
"BiPartisanism" has never meant anything to him but that Republicans should worship him as Jesus, and Democrats lay down as doormats for his Holy Feet.

Fuck you Bush. There is NOTHING between us. That was the strategy you ran on motherfucker, and don't laugh and say it was just politics, because YOU started a(nother) war -- this time against your own people.

What I DEMAND from our leadership is our own Newt Gingrich. I want a motherfucker who will paralyze the government for 4 years. Paralyzed, we will be safe. If this insane motherfucker is allowed to get away with ANYTHING, there will be grave consequences for our country that will bleed us for decades to come.

That being said -- MUST the Bush Twats appear always in public in low cut blouses? Why do they show their tits off at public appearances with their Dad? Breasts are beautiful, and cleavage is great in certain contexts, but I kinda think it is bizarre they do not dress with more decorum at public appearances with their father -- but hey, they're fucking rubes.

9. I don't know about that
Chimpy's knuckles sure do drag on the ground.

Oh, and P.S. Scotty, you can fuck off if you think I'm reaching out to your evil masters.

11. Oh, he's really reaching out.
Screw him. Reaching out does not mean going full blast into your divisive agenda. I wish I could come up with a quip to throw back at them, but I'm just too sickened by it.

12. Give me ONE reason why I should reach out, in any way, to
bigoted, hypocritical, ignorant, arrogant, bloodthirsty, treasury-robbing, murdering, treasonous, America-destroying, Constitution-hating warmongers? One of my gay friends cried on the phone to me for 2 hours last night. I couldn't tell him it would be OK, because it will never be OK, not in America, not in his lifetime, thanks to these fuckwipes that want me to "reach out" to them. I don't compromise with hate. I don't compromise with people who want my gay friends DEAD. Or who want me as a liberal DEAD. If I reach out at all, it will be with a fist, because I will fight these fucks to the ends of the earth.

Hey, this is good, I'm starting to get angry.

13. What crap
How can anyone take Bush's empty rehtoric seriously. He has absolutely no intention of "reaching out" to anyone. Their idea of unity is for those of us who diasgree with them to shut up and get in line.
