This may sound as dumb as some of what George has said, but, my theory is simple. After out last piece of * president, this one is a welcome change. They said Bill was very smart, and he was a liar at every chance that he had to lie about anything. They say George is a half-wit, I feel that most dumb people make poor liars. I'd rather have an idiot that tells me the truth, than an intelligent liar leading our nation. But thats just me.....

GWB's comments were probably all made in front of an annoying pack of reporters and news hounds looking for the smallest of verbal slip ups.....Having been in this position myself, it is very hard to respond "off the cuff" and knowing every word spoken could get you in trouble, trying to avoid any traps or slip ups. GWB is not as polished in front of the camera as Dick Cheney....but having met with him on a number of occassions, he is very at ease one-on-one....

Yeah, Bush definitely sucks the big one.

What we really ought to do is elect Harry Brown or Ralph Nader and have illegal immigrants being paid $8.50 an hour to wash dishes while the pyramid on the dollar bill gets replaced with a pot leaf.

I hate to tell you guys, but 99% of libertarians I've met are either aging hippies who want the right to grow vast fields of peyote and "attune with mother earth's emanations", or Feminazis who think Liberalism is just too Republican for them, based on the idea that Andrea Dworkin hasnt been elected President yet and women still dont own the universe.

I was in the Army during the Kennedy years, "Camelot" historians call it, this man could walk on water, cure cancer and remove tattoos according to news media and liberal leaning historians. I was never so proud of my leader as the day in west Berlin he announced to the world "Ich bin ein Berliner"! yes, that was my C.O.C. telling the world he is a pastry. L.B.Johnson was my next boss, hows about good ol' Lyndon holding those 40 pound beagles up in the air by their ears while grinning like a fool. All our presidents have been human, with faults like the rest of us, the people here on this board who make fun of our leadership during a time when we are at war, in print seen all over the world, do this country great harm, So I submit that Fonda-ism is alive and well in the 21st century. Just because the constitution allows you this priveledge, and the men and women in uniform that swear to protect that right of yours with their blood and lives means so little,You trot out your snide slams against the elected leadership of this country. If Bush is so stupid and we the people that voted for him are so stupid, why don't you and Alec Baldwin and the rest of the intelligent, perfect people get the hell out? instead of committing treacherous little attacks against the rest of the people in this country that love freedom and free elections. The right of free speech that allows you to attack Bush, allows Me to attack You, so make your smart-* anti-american anti-Bush remarks, but don't get whiney and run to Den Mother Nunn when things get warm.

Any one that doesn't agree with you can get out? OUTRAGEOUS! It is our constitutional right, maybe even our duty to disagree with you!

But, that probably doesn't make either one of us right.

Ok folks, settle down. The quotes are Quayle isms...just recently attributed to Bush to reinforce the idea of him as a bumbling idiot. He is actually one of the more educated of our presidents, holding an MBA. This was taken from snopes.com:

Dan Quayle has certainly made more than his share of misstatements, and most of the ones on the following list are actual Quayle quotes (although versions of this list with all the quotes mischievously attributed to Vice-President Al Gore and Texas governor George W. Bush also circulate around the Internet). Nearly all of these quotes are reasonable statements that came out garbled when uttered by a poor public speaker, though -- it's not hard to tell in most cases what Quayle really meant to say. Compare them to some of the bizarre statements that President Reagan produced when speaking off the cuff, or the twisted, mangled syntax characteristic of President Bush's speech. Let's be fair to Mr. Quayle and not saddle him with something he didn't say.


"If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure."

"Republicans understand the importance of bondage between a mother and child."

"Welcome to President Bush, Mrs. Bush, and my fellow astronauts."

"Mars is essentially in the same orbit . . . Mars is somewhat the same distance from the Sun, which is very important. We have seen pictures where there are canals, we believe, and water. If there is water, that means there is oxygen. If oxygen, that means we can breathe."

"What a waste it is to lose one's mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is."

"The Holocaust was an obscene period in our nation's history. I mean in this century's history. But we all lived in this century. I didn't live in this century."

"I believe we are on an irreversible trend toward more freedom and democracy - but that could change."

"One word sums up probably the responsibility of any vice president, and that one word is 'to be prepared.'"

"Verbosity leads to unclear, inarticulate things."

"I have made good judgments in the past. I have made good judgments in the future."

"The future will be better tomorrow."

"We're going to have the best-educated American people in the world."

"People that are really very weird can get into sensitive positions and have a tremendous impact on history."

"I stand by all the misstatements that I've made."

"We have a firm commitment to NATO, we are a part of NATO. We have a firm commitment to Europe. We are a part of Europe."

"I am not part of the problem. I am a Republican."

"I love California, I practically grew up in Phoenix."

"A low voter turnout is an indication of fewer people going to the polls."

"When I have been asked during these last weeks who caused the riots and the killing in L.A., my answer has been direct and simple: Who is to blame for the riots? The rioters are to blame. Who is to blame for the killings? The killers are to blame."

"Illegitimacy is something we should talk about in terms of not having it."

"We are ready for any unforeseen event that may or may not occur."

greetings, thanks to susie for the clear air on the subject. and thanks to blk. roses for the post, and since i don't hear any goose stepping in the background, i assume that we know the difference in criticism of the man bush, and comments aimed at the office of the presidency. i believe the man is an oppertunist, a political hack, and not the best nor brightest, and we as a nation will suffer for it. so might he come election time. respt submitted dads-freehold

All you John Walker Lindh wannabees can bite my butt, I meant no disrespect to Black Rose, just the whining twerps that take pot shots at the president because of their own petty reasons, Bush is the C.I.C. of ALL military personnel, and whoever comes after him will be too, We are at war, to give aid to our enemy by word or deed is TREASON plain and simple.

Bullzeye

And if you dont like it then you can damn well vote for Al Gore or Hillary Clinton in the next election.

I'm dumbfounded to see such ridiculous criticism of our first Republican president after 8 years of Klinton. One would think you'd be glad the country is still in one piece...

There are plenty of things that can be criticized with respect to GW and his job performance.
If you cant see it, you are not paying much attention.
I find it amusing how you can count on Republicans to, rather than defend there boy by sighting the "good" things that he has done, they instead fall on the "hes better than the other guy" defense.
Congratulations-the Republican party is counting on you to spew that pitiful defense of GW, and other Republicans.It allows them to place more control in the hands of the government, without their actions being questioned.
Clinton was the best thing for you blue dog republicans-instead of considering the harm GW is doing, you can just whine "Hes better than Clinton"

I take pot shots at no one...... I find something that I think is funny and I post it... Whether or not I care for the president is my business, but if something is posted on the net for the whole flippin world to see, then its free to post in here...
Whether anyone agrees or disagrees with how the President is doing or not doing is job... is their own opinion..and they can post how they feel.. but dont assume that they are knocking the president.. look at the first three letters of assume.. that is what a person is when they "assume...
The post was quotes.. funny quotes... and I really dont care if they came from God himself.. if I find them and they are funny.. they get posted....and I mean no disrespect..

The guy graduated from Yale and has an MBA from Harvard meaning he has far more formal education than (Gasp! Dare I say it?)JFK. If W's a putz with those credentials then it must follow that an education at either of those fine old liberal establishments is suspect. What a shock it must be to the editorial board at the NY Times and Washington Post.

BlackRoses - You're right. If it's funny, it's funny no matter the source.

Jody Commander

Black Rose, I at no time said anything derogatory about you. "Funny",like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder,I ASSUME I have the right to have thoughts about your posted quotes, and their impact amongst our enemies, foreign and domestic.If the criteria being used to define "Funny" includes making inflammatory remarks quoted from left wing anti-American media sources, then, I guess it's"Funny". You will pardon Me if I don't laugh at something that has the potential of giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the country I served, and hundreds of thousands other Americans still serving, take seriously enough to put their lives on the line for.

stanman

ndbilly,
I'm a little dim sometimes, so help me out here!
Are you suggesting that:

GREAT EDUCATION = GREAT WISDOM?????

Even if GW did anything more than coast through college, which I personally doubt, how can that degree in any way equate to even a small measure of true wisdom, enlightenment, or leadership ability?
If we carry that logic to it's conclusion, it seems to me that the educators on our college campuses would naturally possess the greatest wisdom.
Therefore, when one of them espouses ,,, oh, let's say, the beauty of socialism, or that a sexual relationship between a child and adult can be mutually beneficial, well then I should CERTAINLY just defer to their obviously superior wisdom.
But for one small problem. Of the tens of thousands of MBA's and PHD's on staff at campuses across this country, I would guess that fully 75% don't have enough wisdom to differentiate their own rectum from an open manhole!

And to those that question anothers patriotism based on that person's support, or lack thereof, for a particular president's policies,
I think your worker bee mentality is just what this government has grown to rely upon!
But to bring "a time of war" into the mix is rather naive or maybe just evidence of being poorly informed.
When the President of these United States declares "war on terrorists and the countries that harbour them", why would that president then allow a supposedly friendly nation (Saudi Arabia), to airlift some 13,000 Taliban and Al Quaida from Pakistan back to safety inside their own borders, after these same 13,000 had fled Afghanistan in front of an American assault?? And this while our own grandmothers are being cavity searched in American airports!
This administration's "war on terror" is little more than a ploy to promote a return to domestic bliss, and it would follow, to garner votes. Judging by some of the posts I see on this thread, that ploy appears to be working at least partially.
And once again, our boys and girls who wear this country's uniform and serve with dignity and honor, will be hamstrung by politics and foreign policy "complications"!
Their lives are worth more than that to me.

.218,
Yes, I said sumthin' about beeezzz!

Jody Commander

As I stated earlier in this topic, I am not Bush's defender, I am defending the office of the Presidency. Fifth columnists and collaborative attitudes cost lives, look back at Viet Nam, how many lives did the liberal anti-war media and self serving publicity seekers cost? Read any history book written by someone other than the liberal leaning recidivists, and you will find that the V.C. were beaten early on in the war, but the N.V.A. would not allow them to quit because the approval rating of the war was being undermined by the media and Hollywood here in the U.S. So believing correctly that the people would be influenced into not supporting the troops overseas, the Communist's played the winning hand dealt them by the dupes and collaborators here. Perhaps I am an extremist, I'm not going to apologise, if I had My way, ALL those undermining the efforts of this country's war on terrorism would be placed in internment camps for the duration and then tried by a tribunal of parents or other family members of service men and women killed in this war.

greetings, first let me state that aside from the retoric we are not at war, congress is the only body that can declare war, we are experiencing the same fait acompli that kennedy used to more troops into viet nam, also an undeclared war. question, how many taliban were implicated in 9-11? how many afgans were implicated in 9-11? we sometime believe that because we are #1 we can do whatever we want, whereever, whenever. does it bother you that we invaded a soverint country trying to catch a terrorist and still can't find him? now if questioning the movtives of bush makes me un patriotic, and calling to question his methods, oh well, in the old days this would be solved on a field of honor. respt submitted dads-freehold

DASFREEHOLD- Right on the money!
I do not think this country has been at war since WW2.
Just speculation, but I think it is funny how Bush is claiming this war is going to last for generations. He knows that with war, comes high approval ratings, which means re-election. He realized his Daddy ended the gulf war Wayyyyyyy too soon. He left too much lag time, which resulted in his approval rating plummeting just in time for the 92 election.
It seems to me Bush wants the masses to believe that we are going to be fighting this war on terrorism for a long time, so that his approval rating will stay high. "even when it appears we are not fighting a war, we will be-and dont forget that when election time rolls around-and dont forget to vote for me 'cause we are fighting a war".
And it certainly appears that Bush is going to need a little more protection, considering his approval rating is starting to drop. So now he is talking about going after IRAQ-which has been a convenient * to slap around whenever some president gets into trouble(Clinton slapped IRAQ the day he got impeached)
I am sure Bush will not make the mistake his daddy made, and you can be certain that the inevitable invasion of IRAQ will start late enough so that the "rally 'round the flag" bunch will throw enough "war support"(support for a president is always high when we are at so called war)behind dumb as a door knob bush so that he gets re-elected.

It is laughable and somewhat counter-productive the way people rush to call what we have now a "war". I view it as a series of conflicts and engagements. A string of battles strewn about here and there do not constitute a war.

Its not at all counterproductive for GW and his gang to call it a war. If the public thinks it is a "war", it helps GWs approval rating.
It also makes it easier for GW to get away with unconstitutional actions, all in the name of safety and security during a war.

You may not be at war, cowards and collaborators seldom are. The soldiers on the front lines are at war and those are the ones that bleed and die. and as for there not being a war since 1945, you might try and explain that to all those white crosses up in Arlington and those poor guys in the V.A. Hospitals. but Cowards don't associate with those type people do they, and as for Judge Dread, Neptune called, Your * probe appointment has been re-scheduled, "Na-Nu Na-Nu."
