Bush is going to run on the "direction the country is headed in?"
and Bush's optimistic attitude? Go ahead, Bud, I've never a seen a poll where people think the country is headed in the right direction. They think that if they say something, it makes it true

1. The "To hell in a handbasket" platform
Everyone I know is very apprehensive about the future right now. If * adopts that platform, it would ensure a landslide win by any Democratic candidate.

2. Stay the Course
We will have Peace with Honor.

Yeah, yeah, whatever.

So, are we more secure (economically or from terrorism) than you were on Sept. 10, 2001?

3. That's very close to what they will do
It's all you are going to hear from the right wing mouth pieces and the administration for the next 10 months. His state of the union is coming up and watch him tout all the "good" things he has done and then the media will lap it up for another week or so. Also expect him to talk about the future and how we are going to use technology to expand our horizons and create new jobs. He may even talk up a renewal in the space program of sorts.
Unless something big and bad happens he's in the drivers seat, although still beatable

4. Bush will announce his new "multi-lateralism"...
"Sharing" Bush's new strategic doctrine with the UN...

He'll "reach out" to the international community...

more smoke and mirrors.

6. Of course he will. ~ They are delighted in the direction of things

Remember he grew up in a War Profiteering Family. When there is War Profiteering to be had they are happy. Also they have managed to swing the media so it only reports favorable news of Conservative values. Our Media has been so brow beat by these jackals that they have surrendered. All is Good for the GOP. There is something stirring underneath their radar though. Most regular people are not thrilled in the direction of our country.

7. Then I need to tell the family
to prepare for a crash landing. You know the one, put your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye.

10. And that would be...?
In what direction are we headed? And please, you can't judge a country by its stock market.

11. When I heard that...
I immediately thought of that tree-lined, dark pathway in Sleepy Hollow, where everybody gets their heads chopped off.:scared:

12. Of course he will...his cash comes from the rich corporatists (who also
conveniently own the voting machines)and the rich corporatists are supremely happy with what's happening. All the money is shifting to the rich all over the world. Their small group will own us all...they are deliriously happy.

13. Never before has there been such a rich/poor gap...
And Bush wants that to grow with even more speed to entrench the neo-con elite into the corridors of power...

keep the people terrified of the spectre of Osama bin Goldstein, widen their control of the media, influence the elections through BBV, decree martial law if the people try and stop it.

15. The road ahead...
On the road ahead for this country is new pasture. However...

The world's most dangerous individual has his hands on the steering wheel. The road behind us, once paved with good intentions, is now pockmaked with shock and awe bombs bursting in air.

"Where are we headed?" ask the Sheeple. "What pasture are we being moved to now?"

"We are headed for the PNAC pasture, it is a pasture safe from the wolves of the world" calls back our driver, who swerves dangerously whilst tucking his wolf's tail under his sheepskin overcoat.

"You'll like the fence we have constructed for you. We promise you'll be safe from the fear which now grips your daily bleatings".
