<p>^^^ LOL! That's hilarious!</p>
<p>Firstly, to the OP: please stop giving liberals a bad name. It is ridiculous. You had nothing to say in your post except pointless attacks. Someone's grades in college have nothing to do with them decades later. And Bush is not stupid. He is very intelligent. If he were stupid, he wouldn't be nearly as dangerous as he is.</p>
<p>Secondly, though, I thought I'd relate the following quote from a guest on Jay Leno last night, because I enjoyed it:</p>
<p>"I don't blame Bush, I blame the American people. You don't blame a blind man for wrecking your car when you're the one who gave him the keys!"</p>
<p>Only half gave him the keys.</p>
<p>Exactly. Awesome picture jimmyeatworld. I gotta print that out...</p>
<p>Osama could probably give good head.</p>
<p>mexican't, did you get your SN from "once upon a time in mexico"?</p>
<p>THE MEDIA is always saying that the source of George Bushs popularity is that hes the kind of guy that people want to hang out with--that hes just a regular guy. Is that true?
BUSH ISNT a regular guy. Come on, hes from one of the ruling elite families in the country.</p>
<p>His mothers family goes back to President Franklin Pierce--one of the most despicable presidents, a racist who wanted to see a coup detat against Abraham Lincoln. On the other side, youve got his father--a former president, head of the CIA, a United Nations (UN) ambassador--and his grandfather, a former senator, a Wall Street lawyer-banker who was trading with Nazis. </p>
<p>The Yale connection isnt just the grandfather and father. If you read Kitty Kelleys book, they go back to 1843. When they talk about old money, this is old money. </p>
<p>Bush was the neer-do-well son, even more than Neil. Heres a kid who was blowing up frogs with firecrackers. They stick him in Andover, the prep school that his father was a star at--and George hangs a Confederate flag in his bedroom and engages in the illicit trade of alcohol and fake IDs.</p>
<p>Justin Franks book Bush on the Couch is very instructive. Frank shrinks him, literally as well as figuratively. He focuses on the relationship with Barbara Bush, who is this horrid Gorgon-like creature. When you hear stories about how she brought up her children--heavy into corporal punishment, verbal abuse and neglect. So its not surprising that he turns to sadistic activities. </p>
<p>Later, when he becomes head of his fraternity at Yale, the Dekes, he invents the new hazing ritual, which is branding the initiates on the tailbone. They heat up a wire clothes hanger until its red hot, and they brand them.</p>
<p>Abu Ghraib springs right out of the Bush imagination. Its no stretch. In the first debate, the question turns to his daughters, and he said that he wished that he could keep them on a leash. Maybe the instructions werent coming from Rumsfeld. So maybe they were Georges e-mails right to Lynndie England--get the leash out, start branding people.</p>
<p>Hes an elite, but hes kind of the black prince--the demented sadistic king. His business career is a failure, from beginning to end, and hes always been bailed out because of his fathers political and financial connections. He wrecks his businesses, but makes out with millions of dollars.</p>
<p>Its one thing to be unstable and be working class or middle class--then youre eventually going to have to pay the consequences. Bush has always been an exception, and with the American aristocracy, thats the way it is. Whether its his National Guard tenure or any other thing, hes always been an exception. Hes always had this force field around him that protects him from all the damage that he does.</p>

um, where does Kerry/Dems (or how much people like him) factor into all of this? he isn't and has never been a president and has never had bush's power. and noone has mentioned him at all in this thread. you know why? b/c he has nothing to do with bush starting the war or the horrible response to Katrina. moving on...
[/quote]
</p>
<p>it has to do with all the Bush bashing. The Dems had a great chance to put their man in charge, and they failed miserably. Kerry has nothing to do with starting the war that he himself voted for? Got it.</p>

do you have a source for that? sounds ify. and don't quote me on this b/c i'm not sure, but were there as many people stranded on roof tops and crammed into an arena without necessary supplies for 4 days during those other hurricanes? i don't think so.

<p>source: <a href="http://www.abcnews.go.com/US/HurricaneKatrina/story?id=1123495&page=1%5B/url%5D">http://www.abcnews.go.com/US/HurricaneKatrina/story?id=1123495&page=1</a></p>
<p>I can't comment about the people on the roof tops, but I propose this: instead of the media flying around with all their helicopters FILMING the people on the roof tops, they lend their helicopters to the RESCUE effort? of course, then they couldn't get that story. Because the story is more important than saving lives.</p>
<p>Also, Bush stood up and took responsibility for the "slow" response, and is trying to move on with the relief effort, while other people just continue to play politics with the blame game. (See Kerry: <a href="http://releases.usnewswire.com/GetRelease.asp?id=53468%5B/url%5D">http://releases.usnewswire.com/GetRelease.asp?id=53468</a> "Leadership isn't a speech or toll free number." Apparently relieft is doing nothing to help and everything to criticize though.)</p>
<p>I agree, as the commander in chief with power to quickly send all military and aid and relief resources to New Orleans at his fingertips, Kerry can do a lot to help... wait, what was that? Oh, Bush is? My bad.</p>
<p>I have hardstyle, right now he is hiding in some caves with the protection of mutual buddies. I mean, Osama and you think alike!</p>

</p>
<p>yeah and i'm sure kerry was the only one who voted for it. and of course kerry proposed the war as well. and i'm sure he was given accurate and truthful information as to why the war was being started. yeah, right.</p>
<p>if bush and his administration weren't idiots, kerry wouldn't have been mislead into voting for an unjust war dubya made up.</p>
<p>Wait a second. Bush is an idiot because he was able to convince others to vote for an unjust war that he made up? That sounds pretty smart to me. Sounds like Kerry is the idiot.</p>
<p>Right b/c lying to others is really smart. No that just makes you a liar.</p>
<p>The citizens are the dumb ones.</p>
<p>Considering Bush is the most powerful man in the world, it's not that hard to convince others. He has control and access to basically all top secret information like, does Iraq truly pose a threat? Kerry and others on the other hand, did not. They simply had what he said, to go by. Why do people keep equating these bad things with Kerry? You realize he's not the president right? You realize he doesn't have all the powers of the president?</p>
<p>At this time, I'd like to give you some Bush quotes that I found on a conservative website:</p>
<p>"The best hope for peace in our world is the expansion of freedom in all the world."
-Really? Sounds like a nice idea... imperialism disguised as freedom.</p>
<p>"We are serving in freedom's cause -- and that is the cause of all mankind."
-What's his definition of freedom? Because all of mankind doesn't seem to agree with it (including 50%+ of his own country)</p>
<p>"I just want you to know that, when we talk about war, we're really talking about peace."
-This one speaks for itself. Bush, I salute you for calling Kerry a flip flopper.</p>
<p>"The United States of America will not permit the world's most dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world's most destructive weapons."
-Oddly enough, the US has more nukes in its arsenal than most other countries combined.</p>
<p>"His (Kerry's) policies of tax and spend of expanding government rather than expanding opportunity are the policies of the past. We are on the path to the future and we are not turning back."
-I suppose the Patriot Act does not expand government.</p>

Really? Because every time I look at it, I see very few democratic governments engaged in war amongst themselves. Are you so liberal (aka socialist) that you think that spreading the democracy you take for granted is imperialist? I thought you were FOR peoples rights!! Oh well, I guess that you wouldn't mind switching places with someone from communist China, because this "democracy" you speak of is really imperialism in disguise.</p>
<p>"We are serving in freedom's cause -- and that is the cause of all mankind."
-What's his definition of freedom? Because all of mankind doesn't seem to agree with it (including 50%+ of his own country) ** Oh ok, so are you AGAINST freedom? Isn't that what the dems pride themselves on? Oh, and the 50% does not agree with Bush's policies, not the fact that they want freedom.**</p>
<p>"I just want you to know that, when we talk about war, we're really talking about peace."
-This one speaks for itself. Bush, I salute you for calling Kerry a flip flopper.
** Do you honestly not understand the meaning of what he said? Should I explain it? He means that we want to go to war to remove a brutal dictator, so the people can live in peace. Happy?**</p>
<p>"The United States of America will not permit the world's most dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world's most destructive weapons."
-Oddly enough, the US has more nukes in its arsenal than most other countries combined. ** Yet we don't threaten to use them **</p>
<p>"His (Kerry's) policies of tax and spend of expanding government rather than expanding opportunity are the policies of the past. We are on the path to the future and we are not turning back."
-I suppose the Patriot Act does not expand government.
** Umm, liberals are all FOR a larger government. Honestly, do you even know basic democratic policies? They raise taxes to have more government programs thus creating more government control in people's lives. Democrats are all about larger government. Republicans are all about individual freedom. **

<p>How elitist of you. I thought democrats were all about helping the poor,the common man, while the Republicans were the Rich elitists living in their summer houses in the Hamptons. I see that it is a farce thanks to your statement. In reality, you think that the common man is dumb. Or, have you that that maybe there are people whose views on what the US should be don't coincide with yours? Man, talk about close-minded.</p>
<p>"Really? Because every time I look at it, I see very few democratic governments engaged in war amongst themselves. "</p>
<p>America and Israel are the ones always at war, and they are democratic nations. </p>
<p>"He means that we want to go to war to remove a brutal dictator, so the people can live in peace. Happy?"</p>
<p>Bin Laden will get away with 9/11 under this administration. What do you have to say about that? </p>
<p>"Republicans are all about individual freedom."</p>
<p>Yeahhhhh right. No wonder why they oppose abortion and gay marriages with their Christian ideologies.</p>
<p>"In reality, you think that the common man is dumb. "</p>
<p>Bush is dumb and most would agree. But it is the citizens who elected him and fell for his lies, making them even dumber. </p>
<p>Oh nevermind, Bush is actually a genius in brainwashing the fickle minded Americans from Bin Laden and diverting their support to unjustified war in Iraq with all his lies. And he was even re-elected! Wow, he's surely a genius. America is the only place where he gets his support :)</p>
<p>No because I killed him.</p>
