I guess that would be his sphincter and his mouth........oh, right......they're both the same, aren't they. :eyes:

TAMPA, Fla. - President Bush, politicking at full campaign speed, contended Thursday that a vote for Democrats this fall would be a vote to siphon money out of American families' budgets.

It was Bush the Politician, unleashed, seven weeks before the midterm congressional elections.

The president's campaigning to help his party win governorships and maintain control of Congress in the November voting has been kept largely under wraps of late. Most of his political appearances have been at closed fundraisers. That reflected his low approval ratings that have GOP candidates eager for Bush's ability to collect campaign cash but unwilling to be splashed across the local press at his side.

Campaign muscles.... :rofl: The media continues to carry Little Boots' water for him, don't they? All of the sudden his poll numbers are rising, he's flexing his "muscles" and everything is AOK in "Bush World". :rofl: Yeah, keep putting lipstick on THAT pig, you cretinous media whores! :puke:

7. Air Force One Costs Taxpayers More Than $60K An Hour...

In 2004, before fuel prices skyrocketed, the Air Force estimated that it cost $56,800 per hour to operate Air Force One.

8. he is really smashing the dems on taxes

Bush has repeatedly called for Congress to make permanent all the tax cuts passed at his urging earlier in his administration. GOP leaders have had little success doing so, focusing instead on extensions.

He criticized Democrats for passing what he called a "massive tax increase" in 1993 when their party last controlled the House. And he said that in the 13 years since, "they've worked hard to sustain their record as the party of high taxes," with overwhelming majorities of House Democrats voting against many of the Bush cuts.

And now, Bush said, the man poised to be chairman of the House tax-writing committee if Democrats control the chamber "can't think of one of our tax cuts that should be extended." Bush, who equates that opposition with an intention to raise taxes, was referring, though not by name, to Rep. Charlie Rangel, D-N.Y.

"There should be no doubt in anybody's mind where they stand," the president said of Democrats. "If they get control of the House of Representatives, they'll raise your taxes."

9. Do people really still buy into this?

The financial wellbeing of most people does not hinge on tax rates.
