Bush also went onto say that he'd heard good things about "peace" and "prosperity" though he'd never been responsible for either...

The absolute height of hypocrisy.

"Prosperity and peace are in the balance"---Does he mean that if a Dem is elected, we'll be giving up our disastrous war and wartime economy so you better vote Republican or we'll be stuck with 8 years of prosperity and peace?

Bush: McCain will best carry out my agenda.On Fox News today, Time’s Mark Halperin said, “The President behind the scenes has told people for months that he thought McCain would be the nominee. Even during some of those dark periods he still thought he could win. And also that McCain would be the best to carry forth his agenda.” Watch it:

Bush Says 'Prosperity and Peace' at Stake in November Presidential Election
Bush rallies conservatives for campaign
DEB RIECHMANN
AP News
Feb 08, 2008 10:45 EST
Without naming John McCain, President Bush marshaled the conservative wing of the Republican Party on Friday to back the presumed GOP presidential nominee for the upcoming battle against the Democratic Party.
"The stakes in November are high. This is an important election. Prosperity and peace are in the balance," Bush told about 2,000 people attending the Conservative Political Action Conference. "So with confidence in our vision and faith in our values, let us go forward, fight for victory and keep the White House in 2008."
Bush spoke to a boisterous crowd shortly after 7 a.m. EST. The ballroom erupted in cheers when someone shouted "Are there conservatives in the house?" When the president walked on stage, they clapped and chanted "Four more years! Four more years!"
Bush reached his lowest approval rating in The Associated Press-Ipsos poll on Friday as only 30 percent said they like the job he is doing, including an all-time low in his support by Republicans. Still, the crowd gave him standing ovations, cheering his comments on tax relief, the military buildup in Iraq, the Reagan years and his opposition to abortion. They booed when Bush said his critics want to expand the size and scope of the federal government.
Conservatives are resigned to seeing McCain lead the Republican ticket in November, but he has a long history of disputes with the party's right flank. Conservatives may try to influence McCain's positions and his choice of a running mate. And the possibility exists that they will stay home in November, a development that could cost him swing states such as Ohio.
Bush is not ready to weigh in formally on the election, even though Mitt Romney announced on Thursday that he was suspending his campaign, virtually sealing the nomination for McCain. The president is, however, priming the GOP's conservative base to get ready to back McCain.
"We have had good debates and soon we will have a nominee who will carry a conservative banner into this election and beyond," Bush said.
"I'm absolutely confident that with your help, we will elect a person who shares our principles," the president said.
McCain claims he is a true conservative and has lined up the endorsements of many conservative political leaders. But James Dobson, one of the nation's most prominent evangelical Christian leaders, backed Mike Huckabee's presidential bid Thursday night. Dobson reiterated his declaration on Super Tuesday that he could not in good conscience vote for McCain because of concerns over the Arizona senator's conservative credentials.
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., was straightforward in expressing his support for McCain.
"I've had some disagreements with John McCain over the years, but he's my friend," McConnell said. "More importantly for this race, he's a conservative. And he has my full support.
"When Americans see what the liberals are offering this year, we'll win again," McConnell said, adding that eight years ago, Bush "showed the Clintons the door."
"With the help of you all, we're going to make sure they stay out," he said.
White House spokesman Scott Stanzel said Bush's remarks were not intended to rally the party around McCain. "There are several candidates in the race," Stanzel said. "We have a vigorous campaign going on." He said Romney's departure "gets us one step closer to having a nominee. We're not there yet."
Bush used his speech to the conservative gathering as a venue for comparing and contrasting Republican philosophies with those of GOP critics.
He defended his record on the economy, saying tax cuts contributed to a record 52 months of job creation, which just ended. Bush backed his decision to twice veto legislation to pave the way for taxpayer-funded embryo research, and he lauded medical advances in stem cell research that would yield good results without destroying embryos.

Bush Declares That Cheney Is ‘The Best Vice President In History’
During his speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) this morning, President Bush told the crowd of raucous right-wing activists that he “appreciates the fact that” they “invited Vice President Cheney” to speak.
Between intermittent cheers of “four more years,” Bush told the crowd, Cheney “is the best vice president in history.”

Watch it:
http://thinkprogress.org/2008/02/08/bush-cheney-best/

While Bush’s chosen superlative for Cheney may be “best vice president” ever, history is likely to take another view. For instance, Cheney’s biographer Stephen Hayes describes him as “the most secretive” vice president in history.

The American people may have a different opinion as well. In a recent opinion poll, only 28 percent of Americans approved of the job Cheney is doing as vice president. Additionally, over 221,000 Americans have signed a petition calling for Congress to begin impeachment hearings against him.

I keep going back to that Onion article and still can't believe that nearly every SINGLE thing in it has actually happened. Really, pick a quote, and in most cases what actually happened is worse. "Once again, we will enjoy mounting debt, jingoism, nuclear paranoia, mass deficit, and a massive military build-up."

Also, when Bush uses the words "peace and prosperity" in reference to himself, is he so deluded that he actually thinks that the last seven years have been peaceful and prosperous, or is it just propagandistic verbal diarrhea that speechwriters are unable to do without?

I mean, he could argue that it's going to get WORSE if we elect a nominal liberal, but I would challenge you to find one sane person who thinks things have been going swell during Bush's term. Again, arguing that he's making it less bad, I'll give (wrong, but at least it's a legitimate argument), but in absolute terms? Sick.

This is why I'm not worried about McCain. Not only is he thin-skinned. Not only does he have the charisma of a mango. But the economy--his admitted weak point--is, shall we say, not doing well, and within a few months, not even the get your war-on cheerleaders will be able to lie about any success of the surge. Peace and prosperity are truly on the line. And the people know it, witness the record turnouts to vote for Democrats.

I'd rather be chained in a stress position at Gitmo, and forced to listen to Huckabee's "band" for a month, than sit through a CPAC rally.
I would be handing out pimp slaps like candy on halloween.

EVIL personified ... and with a "smile".

He will get his karma eventually.

Bush misspelled one of the words. Should have been "prosperity and piece" as in a piece of this, a piece of that, and all of that oil.

When Dubya smiles, he always reminds me of the banjo playing kid in the movie Deliverance. Notice that they're never seen together in the same place. Look it up on YouTube. These guys are twins!!

hey I see my postings there, before I got banned for upsetting the 'see no evil' types :(

The shrub's words were right, just not how he meant them. If any rethug gets elected, all chances for 'prosperity and peace' will go down the tubes.

OK, in the thread just above I promised to be kind and then you post this and get me all worked up again.

As we wind down this nightmarish 8 years, I can only think that someone has to take out the garbage.

It does seem to be the general opinion that Bush's record on the economy is terrible. However, according the bureau of Economic Analysis we have had an increase in real GDP every quarter since the first quarter of 2004. It should be noted that the graph begins with the first quarter of 2004. Here's the link: http://bea.gov/newsreleases/national/gdp/gdp_glance.htm

Also, according to the same site, personal income is increasing.
Now peace....that's a different story

See, here is the trick. The dollars used in 2007 for the GDP accounting are worth literally 50% what they were worth in the international money market with respect to the Euro for example. Since the GDP has not grown anywhere near that 50%, overall... our country is worth less. Which is what counts at the end of the day.

For years ignoring international money market for the appreciation/devaluation of the dollar sort of made sense, because well... the dollar was the defacto standard of wealth measurement. However, the Euro and other currencies right now made such an assumption dangerously myopic.

who the hell is bush??

I guess we will have to take his word for it, because sure as hell no one knows what Cheney has been up to, with all the secret man-sized safes and all. Is there any record of Cheney that has not been classified during his tenure as President?

or that didn't burn up in the fire in cheney's office on December 19th, 2007?

Cheney was burning the constitution. Like homeowners do when they burn their paid-off mortgages. He thinks he owns the country now.

Is the White House destroying more ‘evidence’?

White House complex on fire.
The networks are reporting that a fire is burning inside the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. The EEOB is located right next to the White House and holds much of the White House staff.

UPDATE: MSNBC’s Kelly O’Donnell reports, “The Vice President was not in the ceremonial office. He was, in fact, in the Oval Office with the President at the time the fire broke out and that no one believed to be a part of the office has suffered any injuries.”
UPDATE II: “Preliminary indications are that the fire may have started in a room housing electrical or telephone equipment,” adjacent to Vice President Dick Cheney’s ceremonial office suite on the second floor.

Not in a recession yet, oh and if you haven't noticed, we've had 6 straight years of growth and a lower unemployment rate than all of the Clinton years. Oh yeah, things are soooo hard when there's a republican in the White House.

Sorry, but it's only a matter of time before we do have a recession. And it's happening on your butt buddy George W.'s watch. As far as six straight years of growth, you are correct. The government has grown under Bush, especially the defense department. Oh, and the debt has grown, as well, since Bush took office.

Just because you say something it doesnt make it true. "iraq is a loving place to raise children."

It all makes perfect sense if you remember that Traitor Bush only speaks to his "base": multimillionaires. If you belong to that group, you are indeed experiencing prosperity and peace.
