TeamBush raises the "healing" flag, but will TeamBlue salute?
Well, folks, here we are...November 6th, and in today's radio address from our beloved Lord Emperor Bunnypants II, the following call to action:

"This week, the voters of America set the direction of our nation for the next four years.

Now the election is behind us, and our country is ready to move forward. Our nation is fighting a continuing war on terror, and every American has a stake in the outcome. Republicans and Democrats and independents love our country, and together, we will protect the American people. We will persevere until the enemy is defeated and our nation is safe from danger. Every civilized country also has a stake in the outcome of this war. Whatever our past disagreements, we share a common enemy and common duties to confront disease and hunger and poverty in troubled regions of our world.

I will continue reaching out to friends and allies, including our partners in NATO and the European Union, to promote development and progress, to defeat the terrorists, and to encourage freedom and democracy as the alternatives to tyranny and terror.

Here at home, we have serious responsibilities and historic opportunities. To accelerate the momentum of this economy, and to keep creating jobs, we must take practical measures to help the small business sector. We must confront the junk and frivolous lawsuits that are driving up the cost of health care and hurting doctors and patients. We must continue to work on education reform, to bring high standards and accountability, not just to elementary schools, but to the high schools as well.

A new term is a new opportunity to reach out to the whole nation. We have one country, one constitution, and one future that binds us. And when we come together and work together, there is no limit to the greatness of America.

In the election of 2004, large issues were set before the country and discussed every day of the campaign. Now Americans are expecting bipartisan effort and results. My administration will work with both parties in Congress to achieve those results, and to meet the responsibility we share.

With the campaign over, the United States of America goes forward with confidence and faith. I see a great day coming for our country, and I'm eager for the work ahead."

4. ...yeah with a middle finger
This is a Democracy, not a dictatorship, Bush & Co.

We should teach *them* compromise and cooperation, and not give in to the "you're-with-us-or-you-love-Bin-Laden" crap they sell us.

11. Hey shrub!
'My way or the highway' is lousy domestic policy...but then again, your "If you're not with us, you're against us" foreign policy sucks too. I think you suck and you're going to have a miserable second term trying to implement these sucky ideas. Go suck a lemon! SUCK!

Hey, I actually feel better! :)

12. Same old shit!
What's new: Oh, yeah, a $250,000 cap on your award if you sue the evil corporations when their product eats your limbs away. That's small change for them and will not hurt their pockets or change their malfeasence. Sweet deal for the fatcats!

Damn! That was high on my list of important issues!

What's old? The rest of it.

I don't think we are going to get far even attempting to work with the Radical Right-wing Religious Right. You can't do much when people are cramming their relgion and their Savior down your throat and into your Government.

13. I need more than empty words!
"Republicans and Democrats and independents love our country...

After well over a year hearing what a rotten Commie America-hating punk I was for daring to question Our Dear Leader about Iraq, please forgive me if I'm skeptical.

You and your surrogates called me -- and those who share my views -- disloyal and unpatriotic, Mr. President. You said we hate our country and the men and women who defend it.

Don't think you can wave away my hurt and outrage at these insults with a few words.

14. Actually
they raised the dictatorship flag. Since they stole the election, the little dictator has been more arrogant than ever, and that will only increase.

15. Gee, does that mean repugs will actually allow
dems to participate in a conference committee now? You know, those all important sessions that are used to work out the differences between house and senate bills that have passed?

Over the past four year, for the first time in history, the minority party has been effectively shut out of those conferences as if they didn't actually represent nearly half the population. Will that now end, finally?

Somehow I doubt it.

16. Lost in Translation
"This week, the voters of America set the direction of our nation for the next four years."

Ah...that's funny...got Diebold?

"Now the election is behind us, and our country is ready to move forward."

Forward to where, the Salem witch trials, the Inquisition.

"Our nation is fighting a continuing war on terror, and every American has a stake in the outcome. Republicans and Democrats and independents love our country, and together, we will protect the American people."

But I thought you said that K/E wouldn't defend the country. Oh...I see...Mr. Morals was LYING again.

"We will persevere until the enemy is defeated and our nation is safe from danger."

Uh...would that be when you are impeached?

"Every civilized country also has a stake in the outcome of this war. Whatever our past disagreements, we share a common enemy and common duties to confront disease and hunger and poverty in troubled regions of our world."

Have you looked at world polls? Everyone but Nigeria and the Philippines can't stand you. Oh, that's right, you don't read the papers.

"I will continue reaching out to friends and allies, including our partners in NATO and the European Union, to promote development and progress, to defeat the terrorists, and to encourage freedom and democracy as the alternatives to tyranny and terror."

More steel tariffs? More Security council arm-twisting. (Oh that's what you mean by reaching out...a punch in the mouth.)

"Here at home, we have serious responsibilities and historic opportunities. To accelerate the momentum of this economy, and to keep creating jobs, we must take practical measures to help the small business sector."

Would that mean elimination of capital gains...just wondering.

"We must confront the junk and frivolous lawsuits that are driving up the cost of health care and hurting doctors and patients."

And insurance companies...and pharmaceutical companies?

"We must continue to work on education reform, to bring high standards and accountability, not just to elementary schools, but to the high schools as well."

So everyone can be as edumacated as you. How about teaching our children that the Grand Canyon was created by Noah's flood. You mean that kind of edumacation?

"A new term is a new opportunity to reach out to the whole nation. We have one country, one constitution, and one future that binds us."

Aren't you trying to amend the Constitution. Can't have all those - ugh- "homos" with equal protection. Wouldn't be prudent.

"And when we come together and work together, there is no limit to the greatness of America."

Oh boy...Georgie Porgie's National Orgy. Now you're talkin' cowboy.

"In the election of 2004, large issues were set before the country and discussed every day of the campaign."

All I heard was smears from Bushco. Or are the Swift Boat Lies "large issues".

"Now Americans are expecting bipartisan effort and results."

Uh...hate to break this to you George. Your "base" expects "the rapture."

"My administration will work with both parties in Congress to achieve those results, and to meet the responsibility we share."

But you and your cabal have never taken any responsibility for anything. Oh I see, you're just funnin' us agin'.

"With the campaign over, the United States of America goes forward with confidence and faith. I see a great day coming for our country, and I'm eager for the work ahead."

Would that "great day" involve "the saved" ascending into heaven while the rest of us "fornicators" perish in the eternal fiery damnation of global thermonuclear nuclear war.

Well...isn't that special...
