Bush Says 'Much Depends' on Troops' Success
DAYTON, Ohio, July 4 ââ¬â President Bush observed Independence Day with a visit to a military base here today, reminding a festive crowd of the burdens that American troops abroad are shouldering.
But the trip to Ohio also had clear political overtones for Mr. Bush, who has visited this political battleground state 10 times since taking office in 2001.
According to the Almanac of American Politics, no Republican has ever won the presidency without winning Ohio, where registered Republicans outnumbered Democrats by about 400,000 in the 2000 election. Mr. Bush, who is up for re-election in 2004, won Ohio in 2000 with 50 percent of the vote, compared to 46 percent for his opponent, Al Gore.
The event offered a powerful military backdrop for Mr. Bush, who was flanked by a huge American flag, a B-1 bomber and an F-117 stealth fighter.
Mr. Bush was introduced by Gov. Bob Taft, a Republican whose father and grandfather both served in the United States Senate and whose great-grandfather, William Howard Taft, was the 27th president.
Saluting the Fourth of July, Mr. Bush said, "We can be grateful for the unity of our country in meeting great challenges, for the renewal of patriotism that adversity has brought, and for the valor we have seen in those who defend the United States."
**Mr. Bush did not directly address the casualties among American troops in Iraq, where at least 25 American soldiers have died since May 1, when the president declared the end of major combat operations. Instead, he spoke more generally about the nation's global campaign against terrorism. **

Jorge Bush would knowing send 50,000 men to their death if he thought it would help him win in 2004! :taz:

This drives me nuts. Bush lied us into a war for Israel, he supports affirmative action, refuses to secure the borders, has his justice department rounding up pro-White activists on trumped-up charges, and there are still people in our movement supporting this sneaky drunk SOB. It's time to draw a damned line in the sand here. You can't be pro-White and pro-Bush! If that's not a given on OD, or in the CoCC, or any place else that claims to be working for White interests, then those organizations and forums should be abandoned immediately.

Bush is absolutely hopeless. The two party system is ruining this country and until his constituents abandon the GOP, the GOP will continue to pander to diversity, Israel, immigration, and AA.

Unfortunately, many people who seem to have some WN sympathies are simultaneously incapable of thinking outside of the two-party polemic. I am sad to say that these types are hopeless. I cannot tell you how aggravated I become when I am accused of being a "liberal" by members of the herd when I criticize Boosh and his Kosher Kabinet. Mass media has finally consolidated its hammerlock on the herd's modes of thinking.
