This Friday at 10am a 45-foot, 28-ton Bush bashing bus will be rolling in to the Barracks Road Shopping Center. Dubbed the “Bush Legacy Bus” by its main sponsor, Americans United for Change, it is, according to organizers, “a clean bio-diesel powered museum on wheels featuring several interactive exhibits on how two terms of failed conservative policies supported by Bush and his allies – including Senator John McCain and Representative Virgil Goode – have weakened America’s security abroad while neglecting and undermining important priorities here at home.”

As if Americans need convincing! According to a recent Gallup Poll, President Bush’s approval rating is at 25 percent, just a point higher than Richard Nixon’s was in the summer of 1974, just before he resigned over the Watergate scandal.

According to organizers, the bus took off across the street from the White House on June 24th and has visited more than 40 states, including “the hometowns of Bush’s enablers in Congress and symbolic locations like the President’s home away from home in Crawford, Texas,” and logged more than 20,000 miles.

    So,
    If Obama doesn’t get in are all the liberals going to bash McCain and hope all the soldiers die and the country fails like they wished upon Bush? I don’t want Obama, but if he gets in I will support him.

    That’s right I forgot liberals can’t debate because they are always right. You probably still live off your parents or are gay.

    The liberals will only bash McCain if he continues to suck up to the radical right wing of his party, if he starts talking and acting like he did in 2000 he will get more respect from democrats.

    Supply side economics only brings massive deficits, proven by Reagan and W.

    “You probably still live off your parents or are gay”.

    Yeah, and they wonder why they get no respect. That pretty much sums up the right wing’s intellectual “strategery” right there…
