January 31, 200422 yr George W. Bush The White House, USA EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE * LAW ENFORCEMENT: I was arrested in Kennebunkport, Maine in 1976 for driving under the influence of alcohol. I pled guilty, paid a fine, and had my driver's license suspended for 30 days. My Texas driving record has been "lost" and is not available. * MILITARY: I joined the Texas Air National Guard and went AWOL. I refused to take a drug test or answer any questions about my drug use. By joining the Texas Air National Guard, I was able to avoid combat duty in Vietnam. * COLLEGE: I graduated from Yale University. I was a cheerleader. PAST WORK EXPERIENCE: * I ran for U.S. Congress and lost. * I began my career in the oil business in Midland, Texas in 1975. I bought an oil company, but couldn't find any oil in Texas. The company went bankrupt shortly after I sold all my stock. * I bought the Texas Rangers baseball team in a sweetheart deal that took land using taxpayer money. * With the help of my father and our right-wing friends in the oil industry (including Enron CEO Ken Lay), I was elected Governor of Texas. ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS GOVERNOR: * I changed Texas pollution laws to favor power and oil companies, making Texas the most polluted state in the Union. * During my tenure, Houston replaced Los Angeles as the most smog-ridden city in America. * I cut taxes and bankrupted the Texas treasury to the tune of billions in borrowed money. * I set the record for the most executions by any Governor in American history. * With the help of my brother, the Governor of Florida, and my father's appointments to the Supreme Court, I became President after losing by over 500,000 votes. ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS PRESIDENT: * I invaded and occupied two countries at a continuing cost of over one billion dollars per week. * I spent the U.S. surplus and effectively bankrupted the U.S. Treasury. * I shattered the record for the largest annual deficit in U.S. history. * I set an economic record for most private bankruptcies filed in any 12-month period. * I set the all-time record for the biggest drop in the history of the U.S. stock market. * I am the first president in U.S. history to enter office with a criminal record. * I set the all-time record for most days on vacation in any one year period. * After taking-off the entire month of August, I presided over the worst security failure in U.S. history. * I am supporting development of a nuclear "Tactical Bunker Buster," a WMD. * In my State Of The Union Address, I lied about our reasons for attacking Iraq, then blamed the lies on our British friends. * I set the record for most campaign fund-raising trips by a U.S. president. * In my first year in office over 2-million Americans lost their jobs and that trend continues every month. * I set the all-time record for most foreclosures in a 12-month period. * I appointed more convicted criminals to administration than any president in U.S. history. * I set the record for least amount of press conferences than any president since the advent of television. * I presided over the biggest energy crisis in U.S. history and refused to intervene when corruption involving the oil industry was revealed. * I presided over the highest gasoline prices in U.S. history. * I have cut health care benefits for war veterans and support a cut in duty benefits for active duty troops and their families-in war time. * I have set the all-time record for most people worldwide to simultaneously protest me in public venues (15 million people) shattering the record for protest against any person in the history of mankind. * I've broken more international treaties than any president in U.S. history. * I'm proud that the members of my cabinet are the richest of any administration in U.S. history. My "poorest millionaire," Condoleezza Rice, has a Chevron oil tanker named after her. * I am the first president in U.S. history to order an unprovoked, pre-emptive attack and the military occupation of a sovereign nation. I did so against the will of the United Nations, the majority of U.S. citizens, and the world community. * I created the Ministry of Homeland Security, the largest bureaucracy in the history of the United States government. * I am the first president in U.S. history to have the United Nations remove the U.S. from the Human Rights Commission. * I withdrew the U.S. from the World Court of Law. * I refused to allow inspectors access to U.S.prisoners of war (detainees) and thereby have refused to abide by the Geneva Convention. * I am the first president in history to refuse United Nations election inspectors (during the 2002 U.S. election). * I am the all-time U.S. and world record-holder for receiving the most corporate campaign donations. * My largest lifetime campaign contributor, and one of my best friends, Kenneth Lay, presided over the largest corporate bankruptcy fraud in U.S. history. My political party used the Enron private jets and corporate attorneys to assure my success with the U.S. Supreme Court during my election decision. I have protected my friends at Enron and Halliburton against investigation or prosecution. More time and money was spent investigating the Monica Lewinsky affair than has been spent investigating one of the biggest corporate rip-offs in history. * I garnered the most sympathy for the U.S. after the World Trade Center attacks and less than a year later made the U.S. the most hated country in the world, the largest failure of diplomacy in world history. * I am first president in history to have a majority of Europeans (71%) view my presidency as the biggest threat to world peace and security. * I changed the U.S. policy to allow convicted criminals to be awarded government contracts. * I have so far failed to fulfill my pledge to bring Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein to justice. RECORDS AND REFERENCES: * All records of my tenure as Governor of Texas are now in my father's library, sealed, and unavailable for public view. * All records of SEC investigations into my insider trading and my bankrupt companies are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view. * All records or minutes from meetings that I, or my Vice-President, attended regarding public energy policy are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public review. And yet people still vote for this creep... :plain
January 31, 200422 yr And yet people still vote for this creep... :plain Sad, but true... I think some people in the board are upset by some anti-Bush stuff I have posted... :blink: I just assumed everybody thought like me... That George W. is an idiot. But I guess some people don't like to think, and prefer to live in denial.
January 31, 200422 yr Some people obviously don't think. People have to ADMIT WHEN THEY ARE WRONG. I do this all the time, I was initially pro the Iraq war, I admit when my whole latino hispanic argument was wrong, if you're wrong you're wrong. There's no way about it. Bush was a terrible president. It's a fact, not opinion FACT. There's no way to prove otherwise, yet he will WIN the next election. Very scary. Cyberlina, you can't vote right? At least you're doing the next best thing to voting, letting your opinion be ehard. That's the right of every American.

January 31, 200422 yr As they would of said in the 60s, keep on trucking. Until someone proves you wrong intelligently, just brush them off and keep on going. It has worked for me...wait a second.
January 31, 200422 yr As they would of said in the 60s, keep on trucking. Until someone proves you wrong intelligently, just brush them off and keep on going. It has worked for me...wait a second. That is the problem with today's youngsters... No 60's rebelious attitude. In no way I am saying that pacifism is good either. Can't we just get a Demo-Republican party one day? :confused It is funny how people say "The Liberals" and "The Conservatives", using these terms to describe someone who doesn't think exactly like them. Is like Black and White for them. I like something of either party... It is difficult to find a Candidate that encompasses those characteristics. One thing I definetely know for sure, is that I hate the Bush Administration. :thumbdown
January 31, 200422 yr Same here. Personally I would like to see a cut in bureaucracy and more conservative economic priniciples. That's why I'm voting libertarian for president. Would I want a libertarian president? Heck no, but something has got to give.

Would I want a libertarian president? Heck no, but something has got to give. that brings up another interesting question....do you, as some would say, "waste" your vote on a candidate with no chance of winning? Vote your heart? Or vote for the less evil of 2 choices? ugh, this sucks.
January 31, 200422 yr If I could vote now, I would go with the candidate that has the better chance of beating Dumb Bush. However, on other circumstances I would vote for the candidate that has the best approach to all issues in my opinion...

If hitler was running against reagan, whould would you rather have? Your vote would be wasted if you voted for Peter The Great. So in your situation, you have to vote wise. In NY, i can vote for whoever the hell i want!
January 31, 200422 yr Author DUBYA 04! I'm votin for Dubs I hate getting into politics on the board, because ones views often distance each other from other members, when we all really for the most part share a common interest in the Marlins. But when I hear something like that.... :confused

I'm votin for Dubs I hate getting into politics on the board, because ones views often distance each other from other members, when we all really for the most part share a common interest in the Marlins. But when I hear something like that.... :confused Hon, you don't distance yourself from anybody for stating your opinion. If someone doesn't like you because you think differently, they weren't your friends to begin with. The only thing that distances people is fighting to make others think like you. I state my opinion and I respect yours. If you insult me because I don't think like you, then we have a problem.
January 31, 200422 yr Yeah that's my problem. If I have an opinion, it is because I truly believe in it. I know I should cool down, but I really don't hold it against anyone if they have different opinions. Just expect me to agree or disagree with you accordingly.

I know I should cool down, but I really don't hold it against anyone if they have different opinions. Just expect me to agree or disagree with you accordingly. I have to be honest with you... You try to damm hard to "make" people see that they're "wrong". Sometimes, you'll never agree. That is a fact of life. Constructive criticism. Do not go on beating the dead horse. :deadhorse Sometimes it's just better to leave things the way they are.
January 31, 200422 yr Oh I understand that part of my personality. But in a thread that says "debate the existence of God" or I create an argument concerning affirmative action, defending my argument is essential. It kind of seems like in an outright debate when someone says "you can't change my opinion", they are just using a cop out. If you said, "You can't change my opinion because" and list logical reasons, that's another thing.
January 31, 200422 yr It's seriously scary how people get brainwashed so easily these days... From the beginning I knew the "War on Iraq" was a bunch of Bush dung garbage... The so called "proof" of "Saddam and Osama were together" crap was a bunch of brainwashing lies. It's been proven time and time again that Saddam had no WMDs. So we went to war. We saw President War Happy on television say this war wouldn't last more than a week. We saw conservatives call those who had a different opinion, "Socialists 'Saddam Utility Vehicle' drivers." We now hate the French so much, we had to rename "French Bread" and "French Toast" to " 'Freedom' Bread" and " 'Freedom Toast." Today, over a year later after the war started. We are the most hated country in the world (even most of Great Britain hates us). Tons of people have lost their jobs. Over 500 soilders have died in President War Happy's War for no good reason and people still would prefer to have Dubya in the White House. Are we a nation full of dumbasses? or brainwashed dumbasses? It's seriously scary when Bill Clinton is consider worser person than Dubya...
January 31, 200422 yr Just so people know, Bill Clinton wasn't the reason the economy went or and Bush wasn't the reason it went down. Just had to say it.

At least there are some people like you out there that can see through the B.S The so called "proof" of "Saddam and Osama were together" crap was a bunch of brainwashing lies The scary part is that some people still think that this is true... :confused
January 31, 200422 yr damn, there is a lot of liberal bulls*** on this board. Just face it he's going to be here for another 4 years, so you better get used to it.

Scared of anyone who doesn't think like you? Liberal or not... Bush is an idiot. And yeah, we know he'll probably run the country for 4 more years to the ground, thanks to idiots like you, who can not even state their opinion without insulting somebody or giving a valid argument.
January 31, 200422 yr damn, there is a lot of liberal bulls*** on this board. Just face it he's going to be here for another 4 years, so you better get used to it. It's amazing that when people disagree with you, you're called a "liberal" like it was offensive...
