WILLIAMSBURG, Va. - President Bush squarely addressed the issue most on the mind of House Democrats, saying Saturday that deep divisions over the Iraq war need not bring anyone's patriotism into question.

"You know, I welcome debate in a time of war and I hope you know that," Bush said in opening remarks at the guest speaker at a retreat that drew about 200 lawmakers to a Virginia resort.

He said disagreeing with him over the war — as many in the room do — does not mean "you don't share the same sense of patriotism I do."

"You can get that thought out of your mind, if that's what some believe," the president said. "These are tough times, but there's no doubt in my mind that you want to secure this homeland as much as I do."

.........SNIP"

6. Yes, but it was so superficial that the press only serves as a mouthpiece
Had anyone SEEN his strutting and smirking while he said "niceties" they wouldn't buy it either.

Yet our whorish press just repeats the facts that KKKarl Rove seemingly FAXes them. It's amazing that they even show up at the events as they already have their story in hand. :puke: :(
