"Human Corporation" Begins Campaign

"The other party's nomination battle is still playing out. The candidates are an interesting group with diverse opinions -- for tax cuts and against them; for NAFTA and against NAFTA; for the Patriot Act and against the Patriot Act; in favor of liberating Iraq and opposed to it. And that's just one senator from Massachusetts." This was one of the humorous parts of GWB's address to Republican governors tonight, but there were some serious points as well.

"Our opponents say they approve of bold action in the world, but only if no other government disagrees,"he said.

Speaking of his Democratic critics, Bush also said, "They now agree that the world is better off with Saddam [Hussein] out of power. They just didn't support removing Saddam from power. Maybe they were hoping he'd lose the next Iraqi election."

And there's this from the full transcript, available on Fox News but not CNN: "The other party is still not finished selecting its nominee. Yet this much is already certain: Come November, the voters are going to have a very clear choice. It's a choice between keeping the tax relief that is moving the economy forward, or putting the burden of higher taxes back on the American people. It is a choice between an America that leads the world with strength and confidence, or an America that is uncertain in the face of danger. The American people will decide between two visions of government: a government that encourages ownership and opportunity and responsibility, or a government that takes your money and makes your choices."

And all this with only two mentions of NED! Not bad for a man Ralph Nader claims is really a corporation, masquerading as a human being.
