The only reason I don't say what I think about the Dumbass is because with my anti-war record, I don't want the SS at my door.

He is pathetic.  And the majority of the country feels that way.

Good for her.

Then she should ask the Republican opponent to provide his own adjectives to describe Bush.  That would make for interesting television.

Note: the true dynamic out there is the opposite of what you describe.  2/3 of our citizens find Bush quite pathetic.  For at least 1/3 of them, the word "pathetic" is charitable.

she stood up and said what every man and woman has said to bush, and wanted to say so.  Take cheney's advice, Bush, go f*** yourself.

Should be demeaned at every instance humanly possible. This might piss off the Right? Good. Screw them and their destruction of this Country.

Bush is pathetic. Anyone who didn't believe that wouldn't get my vote.

is bush a King that we might not speak evil of him?  Should we fear His Mighty Wrath? I frankly don't care if the pubs use that against us. It's a political winner with the majority of the electorate and I don't care if our candidate gets hew hughit's vote or not.

by his true name.  

The opposition party might bitterly denounce us...what's that? They have their own television network and internet presence devoted to denouncing us 24 hours a day?

Nevermind.

Oh, and as a man, I was far from pissed off. I fucking pumped my fist to see at least one of these jokers give Bush a black eye, at least in the abstract, metaphorical sense...

many, many republicans hate him and no longer think of him as one.  she has used similar language about Bush in the past, good on anyone who does, if you ask me.  but how good depends on the oomph behind it, which in my formula is about 97% record, 3% speechifying...

since he stole probably both elections. Anyhow, I don't think Clinton looked very good in this debate, but that comment wasn't why. I also noticed she seemed to have trouble looking at the camera and the moderators.

both ways, women piss men off too. Although we all know Bush is a pathetic excuse for a human, let alone a President, that is no way to get votes out side of the Democratic party, or male votes at that.

President 'that way.'   How could they not?? He is an admitted blundering war criminal who has driven this country into a ditch of financial destitution!  He has NO excuses; he cannot produce any facts to support his failures and he should be impeached, period.

What the hell are you thinking? It's what politicians do.

It's demeaning and dehumanizing and not worth the office she seeks to publically decry the sitting President while you seek the office.

He's the ass Dick Cheney rode to Washington.

of times, in language that makes Hillary look like a girl scout.

Pathetic is an accurate characterization.

during Gore's campaign. . . .

I mean, after all, the Republicans NEVER demeaned President Bill Clinton in similar terms from 1993 through 2000.  

No, they only showed the utmost respect for the office.  They also kept their powder dry and impeachment off the table as well.

of the country that still thinks that bush has some legitimacy? Let me clue you in, they ain't voting for ANY dem. Not matter what. Fuck'em.

... if it's not true.

To pull a line from the other side, ask yourself - are you better off now than you were 8 years ago? Is the nation?

By EVERY quantifiable standard, no - we are not.

That's more than pathetic - it's downright treasonous.

Pathetic is a proper description for Democrats who think that describing a war criminal as "pathetic" is beyond the Pale. There is nothing sacred about the presidency [note the noncapitalization of the office] and no downside to such a mild description of the monster who currently squats there.

particularly this one.

Tough shit, I hope it does piss the Republicans off, they've been pissing off the entire country for just about ever, and as far as I'm concerned most of them are totally pathetic, including the worst fake democrat in the world...Joe Lieberman...

 Yeah, I think Pathetic just about covers it.

Badabing

...for it will only call the nation's attention to the fact of the same.  They're much smarter than that (strategically speaking, only, of course).

did surprise me. As irritated and annoyed and just plain incensed as I've been with our sitting President, I've never called him "pathetic", never even thought of him in those terms. And it is not a smart thing to put out there for the opposition to use. Plus, for someone who wants to be President, it would seem to me to be essential to respect the office even if you don't agree with the current occupant.

it is, in fact, liberating, as in:"the truth will set you free"

bush's performance has been beyond pathetic and even the republican candidates are running from it...you cannot go wrong slamming bush

btw, what universe do you live in?

not Hillary.  He demeaned it by tearing up the Constitution.  He demeaned it by bringing about the deaths of tens of thousands of people in a pointless war that has made us less safe and has distracted us from the real fight against the terrorists now resurgent in Afghanistan.  He demeaned it by destroying our civil service and filling it with his idiot friends.  He demeaned it by his callous response to Hurricane Katrina.  He demeans it every time he opens his damn mouth and proves what a moron he is.

And he demeaned it by kneeling, hat in hand, in front of the misogynistic, autocratic, superstitious assholes who spread their intolerant brand of fanaticism around the world, and begging, "Please sir, can I have some more."

Bush's behavior in the Middle East was breathtaking.  Even for this miserable excuse for a presidency.  Calling it like it is doesn't demean the presidency.  Destroying all of America's goodwill and international political capital and then begging tyrants for help, on the other hand, does.  

gift of GWB to the Dems right now, the fact that whoever our nominee is, they will be able to run 100% against the last president, and be able to just trash him at any point, and it will never get old.  the Repubs are distant from him, but they'll have no choice but to get into specifics about what they like about him or not, instead of just calling him a criminal stuck mentally in his late teens and emotionally just off the boob...
