Team Bush Ramps Up Rhetoric on Iraq and War on Terror
Sunday, September 03, 2006

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,212022,00.html



FRED BARNES, CO-HOST: Mort, "Hot Story" number one: "Iraq Attack." Not in Baghdad; I'm talking about as we move into this midterm election campaign, as we will after Labor Day, Iraq as an attack issue in the campaign, now by Republicans — obviously Democrats are going to use it their way as well.

Now remember what is supposed to be the strategy of Republicans in this midterm election, and that is to make it individual races — a choice in these individual districts, and Senate races and so on, not a referendum on the president, on his presidency, on his policies. But, you know, with what's going on now, it looks like they're not implementing that yet.

President Bush in particular; Don Rumsfeld, the secretary of Defense; Vice President Cheney; even occasionally Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice giving these very aggressive speeches defending the administration's policy in Iraq, and attacking the "Defeatocrats." That's Democrats.

You like that? "Defeat-ocrats"? Anyway, attacking them for wanting to pull out of Iraq and how horrible that would be. Listen to President Bush when he talked about this — where was this speech? In Utah, at the American Legion.

2. Barnes is nothing but a sock puppet of the RNC
If you go to the RNC's official website they have an entire link for "Defeatocrats". How juvenile can political discourse get? It sounds like some mental name-calling mush typical of a buffoon like Rush Limbaugh.

And, proud as a 2-year-old who just pooped in his pants and wants to show mom, Fred Barnes parrots the line like he invented it.

4. Too bad about all those dead bodies, huh Fred?
Most feeling human beings would find tasteless name-calling to be a little beneath them, what with all the death and waste that have attended this disastrous decision.

But Fred Barnes, with a smile on his simpering mug and the obligatory flag on his lapel, doesn't have to be confused with a feeling human being.

6. FWIW, Barnes did spend a couple of years in the Air Force
He's still a dumbass, but not quite the hypocrite that Rove, Wolfowitz, Cheney, etc are.
