Bush to Americans: How could you vote for all those Defeatocrats from Taxachusetts?
Topic: Politics
In the wake of the elections, I can’t resist writing about politics again. Bush on the Republicans’ losses in the midterm election:
“I thought when it was all said and done, the American people would understand the importance of taxes and the importance of security,” the president said. “But the people have spoken, and now it’s time for us to move on.”
When Bush goes off script like this, he has a habit of revealing a lot more about his own state of mind than he realizes. I’m not sure what’s the more astounding aspect of this statement. It seems to indicate that he actually believes his own cartoonish rhetoric about the Democrats, and it shows a real contempt for the American people. The obvious implication is that the Republicans would have fared better in the elections if only the American people were smart enough to agree with his Wise and Correct understanding of the issues.
