sabotabby"A political party, in order to be viable, is one that professes peace, in my judgment..." -- Georgie-Porgie
(Hat-tip:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

In fairness, it's quite easy to profess peace without actually doing anything about it. Not to mention that the chimpresident and friends have been quite successful in re-defining "peace," "democracy," and "freedom" to mean "we're going to invade your country and kill you a lot" in the popular consciousness.
I don't think he gets enough credit for being clever with words.

Date: 2006-01-27 08:08 pm (UTC)As for the "profess peace" quote- I'm guessing he's referring to Hamas? Not that it matters- Newspeak.

I have nothing else of purpose to share here except that.

There are some really good politicians who, presently, write their own, like Alex Salmond , leader of the Nats in Scotland. He's good. Would never let anyone else write for him. Winston Churchill wrote his own. Couldn't dress himself, but had a good presentation. Bush has a speechwriter Orwell would be proud of.

"It's amazing I won. I was running against peace, prosperity, and incumbency." W. June 14, 2001, (to Göran Persson, unaware he was still on live TV)
"We must speak the truth about terror. Let us never tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories concerning the attacks of September the 11th; malicious lies that attempt to shift the blame away from the terrorists, themselves, away from the guilty. To inflame ethnic hatred is to advance the cause of terror." W. Nov 2001
"I just want you to know that, when we talk about war, we're really talking about peace." W. June 18 2002
"I'm the master of low expectations." W.

Okay - this is too easy.
Stopping now. I simply don't have time in my day to pick and choose bullshit off of his record. There is too wide an ocean of it.
