Bush says Democrats 'softer side' puts country at risk of terror

October 3, 2006

Remarks by Bush at John Doolittle for Congress Reception: http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2006/10/20061003-11.html

"The issue in this campaign is which party, which group of individuals have got the will and the foresight necessary to give our professionals the tools necessary so they can do the most important job facing our government, and that is to protect you from further attack. Time and time again, the Democrats want to have it both ways. They talk tough on terror, but when it comes time -- when their votes are counted, their softer side comes out." (Laughter.)"


"Last week, when the legislation providing additional authority for the Terrorist Surveillance Program came before the House of Representatives, 177 Democrats voted against listening in on terrorist communications. See, it's a clear position. It's a clear signal of how they view the world in which they live. I'm not saying these people are not patriotic; they are. I'm not saying they don't love America; they do. They just see the world differently. And it's an important issue in this campaign as to how we see the world."


"In the Senate, 32 Democrats, including every member of their Senate leadership save one, voted to kill the (torture and detention) program, which means that about three-quarters of the Democrats in the Senate, including both of the senators from the state of California, voted to stop the men and women of the CIA from continuing a program to get information from terrorists like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed about planned attacks on the United States of America."


"We just have a fundamental difference, and it's a key difference for all Americans to look at and listen to. During the debate on the Senate floor, one senior Democrat, their ranking member on the Judiciary Committee, compared the brave Americans who question the terrorists to the Taliban and Saddam Hussein. I believe this exposes a dangerous mind-set on the part of Democrats in the United States Congress. You can't defend America if you can't tell the difference between brave CIA officers who protect their fellow citizens and brutal dictators who kill their citizens. (Applause.)

I'm not making any of this up. (Laughter.) Another Senate Democrat said that allowing the CIA to go forward with its program to question the most dangerous terrorists we have captured would, in this person's words, "diminish the security and safety of Americans everywhere." We just have a different mind-set, a different view of the world. If they feel safer without this program, the Democrats in the Senate need to explain to the American people which of the attacks that the CIA program stopped would they have been willing to let go forward."

Bush's Soft Bigotry on Terror

There is a difference in how people see the world. Those who see it through ideological blinders can no longer be trusted to run the country; we need peopel from the "reality based" community to step up.

I know I can't but maybe, in a parallel universe, I could show Bush my "softer side". :grr:

my "softer side", too. What fucking softer side allowed 9/11 to happen? Or was that the side of the bushits that wanted it to happen so they didn't do jackshit about it?

that is drowning out Bush, oh it's the

FOLEY SCANDAL

damn, * needed to use the bully pulpit and all he is getting is drowned out by a repub. scandal.... what the hell, they worked HARD to create a situation where they could attack democrats for voting against an unconstitutional law. And now they aren't even getting to exploit it properly. DAMN.

puts children at risk of being preyed on. Their brutishly stupid side puts our country at risk of attack by terrorists. The fact that they can't distinguish between brutishness and strength puts all of us at risk.

got him busted.

.

he's the one who allowed OBL and his cohorts to attack the WTC on 911 after many many warnings and he did nothing!! He's the one who's letting OBL get away! He's the one who's allowed the anthrax terrorists to go unpunished! He's the one who's policies are turning others against us with his illegal occupation of Iraq!

because that issue over-rides all others.

he continues to spew out fear, we can protect you shit, sure tell me another one, he did not protect the country after ignoring the 9/11 attacks, and he really protected the Katrina victims didn't he? I am tired of being treated as an ignorant person like he is.


he can just go to hell.

Bush seeks to focus on war instead of Republicans' woes

STOCKTON, CALIF. - President Bush tried to focus voters on the fight against terror Tuesday and away from the ethics questions that are making this year's GOP election campaign difficult.

Bush ratcheted up his charges against Democrats during a fundraising tour of California, flatly accusing his political opponents of being soft on terror. But he could not avoid the scandals that are dogging Republicans. Campaigning for two incumbents who were benefactors of corrupt lobbyist Jack Abramoff, Bush was drawn into defending House Speaker Dennis Hastert from calls for his resignation over a sex scandal on Capitol Hill.

Fucking weiner!

He's worked himself into this nasty little smear campaign. I just don't see support for any of that out there. Not like in the past.

The fundamental difference we have, Bush turd, is that you want to torture people and most Democrats (and Americans, I hope) see that as endangering Americans if they're ever captured by people you've made into our enemies.

I also hate that there are idiots who applaud and laugh at his every lying word.

It reminds of an earlier time when Americans felt emboldened by the prospect of a quick ass kicking in Afghanistan, a round-up or killing of bin-Laden, and then, back home for the ticker-tape . . .

There was that long period after the attacks when folks swaggered around like they owned the world, in tune to Bush's arrogant bleating. America's been humbled in Iraq, much like the Soviets in Afghanistan. He's like the sniveling loudmouth on the schoolyard, still popping off after his chums who've been doing all the fighting have run off, or are being beaten bloody while he refuses to get his hands dirty.

Americans are tired of fighting his battles while he slap-fights around the globe with his eyes closed.

what an evil evil sick man.

this sentence is equally as chilling.

"We just have a different mind-set, a different view of the world".

what is he saying here, that no one should have a different view and should think like him??? this is very chilling.

FUW

...is by getting them out of office.

Their other side being the SWINDLER and THIEF SIDE.

Knuckle-dragging jackass.
