The
Manumitter Daily "I want you to listen to me. I'm going to say this again. I did
not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. I never told
anybody to lie, not a single time-never. These allegations are false.
And I need to go back to work for the American people." "I would think that if you understood what Communism was, you would hope,
you would pray on your knees, that we would someday become communists." "We live in fictitious times. We live in a time with fictitious election
results that elect fictitious presidents. We live in a time when we have
a man sending us to war for fictitious reasons. We are against this war,
Mr. Bush. Shame on you. Shame on you." "Clinton's pardons have no impact on the health and welfare of the American
people." "Bush stole the elections and since then we have all been suffering the
consequences,"
"He betrayed this country! He
played on our fears! He took America on an ill-conceived foreign adventure
dangerous to our troops, an adventure pre-ordained and planned before
9/11 ever took place!" "Just so you know, we're ashamed the president of the United States is
from Texas," "The man's father is a wonderful human being," "I think this guy is a
loser." "George Bush is responsible for killing tens of thousands of innocent
people." "I would like to apologize for referring to George W. Bush as a
"deserter." What I meant to say is that George W. Bush is a deserter,
an election thief, a drunk driver, a WMD liar and a functional illiterate." "Regime change! George Bush has to go and we have the power to do it.
The officials of the government shall be removed from office for crimes
and misdemeanor; their crime against peace, and for use of torture in
Iraq." "One could say that Osama bin Laden and these non-nation-state fighters
with religious purpose are very similar to those kind of atypical revolutionaries
that helped to cast off the British crown." "He's (Osama bin Laden) been out in these countries for decades, building
schools, building roads, building infrastructure, building day-care facilities,
building health-care facilities, and these people are extremely grateful.
We haven't done that." "The American people may have been lured into accepting the unprovoked
invasion of a sovereign nation, in violation of long-standing international
law, under false premises," "Our paradigm now seems to be: something terrible happened to us on September
11, and that gives us the right to interpret all future events in a way
that everyone else in the world must agree with us. And if they don't,
they can go straight to hell." "If men like [Ken] Starr and his allies could ignore the Constitution
and abuse power for ideological and malicious ends to topple a President,
I feared for my country." "Not only did the tax cut fail to prevent a recession, as its supporters
said it would, it probably made the recession worse," "Republicans are men of narrow vision, who are afraid of the future." "Did I expect George Bush to f--- it up as badly as he did? I don't
think anybody did." "Being a liberal is one of the best things you can be." "The problem is we elected a manager, and we need a leader. Let's face
it: Bush is just dim." "George W Bush is like a bad comic working the crowd, a moron, if
you'll pardon the expression." "Bush wasn't elected, he was selected— selected by five judges up in
Washington who voted along party lines." "President Bush is a liar," "Rush Limbaugh is a big fat idiot." "It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is" "This vast right-wing conspiracy that has been conspiring against my
husband since the day he announced for President" "I mean, I think, Iraqis, I think, feel that if we drove smaller
cars, maybe we wouldn’t have to kill them for their oil.” "We all need to take a deep breath and think about being a Bush daughter
and having that cross to bear. I'd go out and have a couple of drinks
too," "If you asked would I live in London the rest of my life, yeah,
I'd be very happy to stay here. There's nothing in America that I would
miss at all." “I despise him [President George W. Bush].
I despise his administration and everything they stand for." "Bush is an incompetent leader. In fact, he's not a leader,''
"It is preposterous for the administration
to pretend that the war in Iraq has made America safer" "I will guarantee you that John Kerry will be president
of the United States." "It is an embarrassing time to be
an American. It really is. It’s humiliating.” "Globalization, as defined by rich people like us, is
a very nice thing... you are talking about the Internet, you are talking
about cell phones, you are talking about computers. This doesn't affect
two-thirds of the people of the world." "We don’t know whether in the long run the Iraqi people are better
off, and the most important thing is we don’t know whether we’re better
off." - On the question of whether qetting rid of Saddam Hussein
was a good thing. I know on September
11, we were all evacuated from the building, and we found ourselves standing
outside—most of us. I was whisked away with no place to go. We ended up
on the top floor of the police headquarters. We pulled the shades down,
thinking that might make us more secure. "Well I don't know what the city of Hollywood knows about foreign
policy, but do I know that a lot of people do learn and educate themselves
about policy and I don't have to be a policy expert to know that this
will be a disaster." "There is ample evidence that the horrific events of Sept. 11 have been
carefully manipulated to switch public focus from Osama Bin Laden and
al-Qaeda, who masterminded the Sept. 11th attacks, to Saddam Hussein,
who did not," "Saddam Hussein is a threat, but the threat is not so great that we must
be stampeded to provide such authority to this president just weeks before
an election." "While endangering one of the most pristine areas in the world, drilling
in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge would do nothing to make our country
more energy independent," "by just getting the SUVs to have the same fuel economy as autos." "Well, there's no credible link between Iraq and al Qaeda. There's
no credible link between Iraq and 9/11." "Impeachment is a nonissue; it’s not going to happen with Republicans
in control of the House and Senate." "death warrant for social programs for decades and decades to come." "In two short years, George W. Bush has taught us what the 'W' stands
for -- wrong. Wrong for our children, wrong for our parents, wrong for
our values. Wrong, wrong, wrong for America." "It's your money, says President Bush when he promotes tax cuts. I disagree
with his tax policy but admire his spin." "There was no imminent threat. This was made up in Texas, announced in
January to the Republican leadership that war was going to take place
and was going to be good politically. This whole thing was a fraud," "Their idea of equal rights is the American flag and Confederate swastika
flying side by side." "We must uphold the promise of Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Carter,
and Clinton and never allow the President and his Republican friends to
threaten Social Security by putting it on the Wall Street trading block."
"Unfortunately, last spring, Republicans chose exactly the wrong solution.
They made a huge tax cut their No. 1 priority -- ahead of everything else
-- and discarded the framework of fiscal responsibility," "We give an infinitesimal amount of our money to people around the
world. I think what people around the world would say is it would take
so little for this rich country to help and alleviate so much misery and
even that is too much for them. We’re oblivious to suffering.” “Bush says you’re
either with us or against us. I don’t know who ‘us’ is. I say to Mr. Bush—this
is what democracy looks like. We will not give our daughters and sons
for a war for oil.” "This is
a racist and imperialist war. The warmongers who stole the White House
have hijacked a nation's grief and turned it into a perpetual war on any
non-white country they choose to describe as terrorist." "The ACLU is determined to hold the Bush administration responsible
not just for torture and abuse of detainees, but for the many other abuses
of power that are taking place in the name of fighting terrorism." "If we continue following George Bush’s military policy and defense
policy, will become a secondary military power." "I can’t tell you the answer to that either." On the question
of how many troops do we have on active duty. "The greatest crime since World War II has been U.S. foreign policy." "I'm saddened, saddened that this president failed so miserably at diplomacy
that we're now forced to war, saddened that we have to give up one life
because this president couldn't create the kind of diplomatic effort that
was so critical for our country." "Mr. Reagan will raise taxes, and so will I. He won't tell you. I just
did." "But the problem for Social Security is that it is actually in fine
shape until, I don’t know, 2040 or something like that." "We need
to change our ethic and aspire to be more Canadian-like,"
"They could call Jesus a terrorist too. I mean, he was pretty tough on
money lenders a time or two." "I think we are isolating ourselves, and in so isolating
ourselves, I think we're minimizing ourselves, I don't think we
are taken as seriously today as we were a few years ago." "I'm the number 1 target of the White House. They can't get Osama bin
Laden; they're going to get me." "The difference between Martin Sheen and George W. Bush is Martin Sheen
is actually convincing when he acts like he's president." "Any child
born into the hugely consumptionist way of life so common in the industrial
world will have an impact that is, on average, many times more destructive
than that of a child born in the developing world." "Here’s what I say to people. You have a choice. Do you want to
have the president’s tax cut or would you like a health-care program that
nobody can ever take away?" "This country of ours has committed the most serious act of aggression
in its history by engaging in a war of aggression without a declaration
of war by Congress," "I do not begrudge his salute to America's warriors aboard the carrier
Lincoln, for they have performed bravely ... but I do question the motives
of a desk-bound president who assumes the garb of a warrior for the purposes
of a speech,''
"The
president succeeded during the election campaign in convincing a majority
that Saddam Hussein and al-Qaida are practically the same thing ... but
he convinced the majority of something that is not true and is not backed
up by any evidence that I am aware of." "Drag a hundred-dollar bill through a trailer park, you
never know what you'll find." "By ordering kidnapping and by "rendering" individuals
to be tortured abroad, by conducting warrantless eavesdropping on Americans
here at home and by issuing secret demands for our library records and
other personal information, President Bush is violating America’s values
of freedom and fairness." "A nation that continues, year after year, to spend
more money on defense than social programs is nearing spiritual death,"
"Bin Laden didn't come from the abstract.
He came from somewhere, and if you look where ... you'll see America's
hand of villainy."
