Bush Takes Shamelessness to a New Low

After spending the last year and a half or so TRASHING the current Democratic leadership and villifying his opponent, Bush has the gall to hearken back to great Democrats of the past (Roosevelt, Truman & Kennedy) -- guess he doesn't think much of old Eisenhower, although his granddad Prescott Bush was quite a fan -- and attempt to make the truly lame case that HE is the true inheritor of Democratic values.

Ha! Double-ha! As NDOL.org says:
We have no way of knowing if the president is going to continue this laughable effort to steal the clothes of great Democrats right up until election day, or if this gambit is as disposable as his 2000 campaign promises to "change the tone in Washington" and serve as a "uniter, not a divider." It is pretty clear that his words in Wisconsin probably didn't reach too many Democrats in real time, since anyone bearing visible Democratic insignia is banned from his campaign appearances. Moreover, he was surrounded on the platform by a host of Republican candidates eagerly seeking to reinforce the GOP's iron partisan control over Congress, a place where Democrats are being treated with a degree of contempt rarely seen since the 19th century.
Vote this man out.
