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.

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 US 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 US surplus and effectively bankrupted the US Treasury.

I shattered the record for the largest annual deficit in US 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 US
stock market.

I am the first president in US 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 fundraising trips by a US 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
US 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 US history and refused to
intervene when corruption involving the oil industry was revealed.

I presided over the highest gasoline prices in US 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 US history.

I’m proud that the members of my cabinet are the richest of any
administration in US history. My “poorest millionaire,” Condoleeza Rice, has
a Chevron oil tanker named after her.

I am the first president in US history to order an unprovoked, preemptive
attack and the military occupation of a sovereign nation. I did so against
the will of the United Nations, the majority of US 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 US history to have the United Nations remove the
US from the Human Rights Commission.

I withdrew the US from the World Court of Law.

I refused to allow inspectors access to US 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 US election).

I am the all-time US 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 US
history. My political party used the Enron private jets and corporate
attorneys to assure my success with the US 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 US after the World Trade Center attacks
and less than a year later made the US 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 US 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.

Please consider my experience when voting in 2004.

He has my vote :smiley: , again :slight_smile:

He should be fucked in the ass with a pineapple. I hate bush. His name doesnt even deserve to be capitalized.

I think Dubya bush is high half of the time he is in office, because we all know old habits die hard, and all this military campaign is a result of too much CounterStrike.

yeah, but in his defence, counter strike is totally awesome.

Hmm, I got this in an email the other day. I was going to post it to see what people made of it, whether they could refute the claims etc.

Some of them are quite obviously a bit loosely interpreted but most of them are presented as fact.

So what’s the deal? Is it true?

Aftre reading this I am voting for Hillary!

j/k

You can always believe what you get in an e-mail as fact, correct?
The economy was in a nose dive the last year before he took office. Granted, I have lost over 70,000 dollars in my 401k but it is not due to anything he has done, or not done. In fact, I have gained back over 20,000 this year and the economy was red hot in the 3rd quarter.
He put together the overthrow of the Tailban. Just because, again, the world depends on the USA and Britian to defend freedom, some how they are always ungrateful. The U.N. watched as saddam broke treaty after treaty and laughed at it because france had told him that they would keep the USA from attacking. This led to war, in my opinion. Also, if the UN would now step in , as the right thing, and help the people of Iraq stabalize their country from the thugs, it would be a long way to help freedom come to Iraq. But the UN is a hollow shell of what it once was.
Now let’s look at al gore. Joined the army as a reporter to get out of combat. bill clinton also avoided the draft and even wrote that he hated the Army but had been in the ROTC to keep his political carrier viable, his words, not mine.
al gore and bill clinton also got high. George Bush did not answer the question. Remember how bill lied about it?
So he got caught drunk driving. He swore off drinking after that.
What kind of shape would we be in if gore or clinton had been in office during this troubling time?
Do you forget that the Army wanted the A1 Abrams tank in Somalia so if it got into trouble it would have some armor? The Black Hawks that went down and the people that went to rescue them had no armor to protect them. This resulted in our men getting killed because clinton didn’t like the tanks to be shown on TV to the world. Have you forgotten the two Heroes that voulunteered to protect the downed BlackHawk? They were snipers who had kept back the thugs untill their magazines were emptied. The pieces of sh1t thugs dragged their bodies through the streets and clinton pulled the armed forces out of Somalia. This gave proof to the rest of the world that the USA was a paper tiger, who when hit, would turn tail and run.

As usual, the left side of the democratic party likes to distribute stuff that isn’t exctly true but sounds really good

  • “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.”

This opposed to, let’s say, a certain Kennedy who got into a car crash while driving a mistress home, LEFT THE SCENE of a CRIME, and the woman died… People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones

  • 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.

As opposed to Clinton, who did NO military service and marched in anti-US rallies which were organized by communist party members…

  • COLLEGE: I graduated from Yale University.

How many here graduated from Yale?

  • I ran for US Congress and lost.

Most politicians run and lose many times… any point to that?

  • 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.

Anyone who knows anything about George Bush senior knows he was ANYTHING but right wing! ANd I guess no one remembers Anne Richards making a fool out of herself during the election and thus LOST the election more than Bush won it…

  • I set the record for the most executions by any Governor in American history..

This only matters if you are opposed to the death penalty. Frankly, a lot of peope deserve to die, the snipers in MD as a prime example

  • “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”

It’s called the electoral system, look it up. Bush didn’t create it. Gore said before the election results that he believed in the system and would never question it. SOUR GRAPES

Five different indendent organizations have now re-examined the process in Florida, including 3 DEMOCRATIC groups, all have concluded that BUSH WON… now get on with your lives and stop making excuses

  • "I invaded and occupied two countries at a continuing cost of over one billion dollars per week.

Yeah, he invaded the country that supported and sheltered the @zz holes that attacked us on 9/11 and one of the most virulent dictatorships in modern history

  • I set an economic record for most private bankruptcies filed in any 12-month period.

Democratic truth twisting, the period was immediately following 9/11 and thus the real people to blame are the terrorists

  • I set the all-time record for the biggest drop in the history of the US stock market.

DITTO

  • After taking-off the entire month of August, I presided over the worst security failure in U.S. history.

Maybe if Clinton had done more than shoot an ineffective missile ONCE at Al Queda in the 8 years he was president, 9/11 wouldn’t have happened. But CLINTON chose to ignore the threat, and 9/11 was in the planning stages more than 5 years, meaning it was being planned during CLINTON’s administration

  • I am supporting development of a nuclear “Tactical Bunker Buster,” a WMD.

BOO HOO, the US is developing weapons, what a tree hugger complaint. Maybe you aren’t interested in war, but war is interested in you…

  • In my State Of The Union Address, I lied about our reasons for attacking Iraq, then blamed the lies on our British friends.

NO EVIDENCE FOR THIS AT ALL

  • I set the record for most campaign fundraising trips by a US president.

Translation = democratics who can’t make the same amount of money are ****ed and complain, but of course, they would accept the money if it was offered to THEM

  • In my first year in office over 2-million Americans lost their jobs and that trend continues every month.

TREND ENDED ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO

  • 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.

TRANSLATION, rather than sitting with my thumb up my @zz like Clinton did, I attacked our enemies and ****ed off a lot of people, I AM DOING A GOOD JOB

  • I’ve broken more international treaties than any president in US history.

CRAP, cite some

  • I am the first president in US history to order an unprovoked, preemptive attack and the military occupation of a sovereign nation. I did so against the will of the United Nations, the majority of US citizens, and the world community.

TRANSLATION, rather than sitting with my thumb up my @zz like Clinton did, I attacked our enemies and ****ed off a lot of people, I AM DOING A GOOD JOB

  • I am the all-time US and world record-holder for receiving the most corporate campaign donations.

Translation = democratics who can’t make the same amount of money are ****ed and complain, but of course, they would accept the money if it was offered to THEM

  • My largest lifetime campaign contributor, and one of my best friends, Kenneth Lay, presided over the largest corporate bankruptcy fraud in US history blah blah

TWO WORDS; white water…

bluesman

I dont see why you focus so much on his economical impact on the world, why does that matter when he is also responsible for the pain and suffering of thousands.
You say he helped rid Afghanistan of the Taliban, do you forget it was a previous but similar American administration that helped get them in the first place? Same with Saddam. They put him in until he stopped doing what they wanted, then they tried getting him out.
Does economy really matter that much that people are willing to make 70% of the world suffer so that 30% live off their backs in relative luxury…?

These are just a rough outline of what I want to say - I want to start a OT thread again but Kung and Gene will probably close it.
I know I will get alot of people disagreeing with me. I welcome the debate.

You can always believe what you get in an e-mail as fact, correct?

No - that’s why I was asking. :rolleyes:

Interesting to hear the other perspective.

  • You say he helped rid Afghanistan of the Taliban, do you forget it was a previous but similar American administration that helped get them in the first place? Same with Saddam. They put him in until he stopped doing what they wanted, then they tried getting him out. -

The crap some people believe is frightening. Look up how Saddam and the Bathe party came to power, then look up how the Taliban ended up in power. Don’t believe propoganda, look it up for yourself…

gw bush s#cks!:mad:

I dont see why you focus so much on his economical impact on the world, why does that matter when he is also responsible for the pain and suffering of thousands.

Well, at least all those thousands found in the mass graves won’t have to suffer anymore…

Bush

Sho re va händer/ kuken vänder/ mellan dina tänder/

For all those tree huggers who think that if we just “leave those Muslims alone” we’d have a nice, peaceful quiet world, I strongly suggest you get your hands on the BBC special about Muslim extremists…

They believe that if you don’t follow THEIR interpretation of the Koran, you DESERVE TO DIE and that it is their mission to put the WHOLE WORLD UNDER THEIR CONTROL

The world belongs to Allah, and if you don’t worship Allah (according to how they see it) you must go

r/e muslim extremists; yes they are nuts and have to be dealt with harshly… but that doenst change the fact gw bush is aweful. we need somebody who isnt a complete @sshole to deal with them and actually make headway without turning the entire world against us in the process.

Any extremist scares me. I don’t care if they are Christian, Jewish or the worst…Democart :rolleyes:
This is not a Muslim bashing thread. Some have hi-jacked Islam for their on purposes.

Reading always helps when you are trying to debate a subject

  • "I strongly suggest you get your hands on the BBC special about Muslim extremists… (IE EXTREMISTS)

They believe that if you don’t follow THEIR (ie EXTREMISTS) interpretation of the Koran, you DESERVE TO DIE and that it is their mission to put the WHOLE WORLD UNDER THEIR CONTROL

The world belongs to Allah, and if you don’t worship Allah (according to how they see it) (IE EXTEMISTS) you must go"

So no this isn’t about “Muslims” it is about “Muslim extremists”

:rolleyes:

I wish people would go look things up for themselves. We live in a world where any idiot can get what they think disseminated around the globe in a matter of minutes. It used to take a publisher, a hefty amount of capital and something relatively intelligent to say.

The need for critical thinking increases as information flow increases.
