You will also find droves of people there who think Bush is the second coming of Christ. And I could go on and on - but why bother? After all, nutjobs are the exclusive domain of the left :roll:

The only difference is Democrat Party leaders join in the chorus. Often times, they are the originators. I don't hear this type of insanity from most Republican elected leaders.

Which Democratic Party leaders? Name them.

I named a couple, but the list goes a long way. Dick Durbin referring to our service members as Nazis last spring, Patty Murray singing praises last year of Osama as a Humanitarian, Al Gore claiming we have 10 years left because of Bush's environmental policies, Howard Dean claiming Bush invaded Iraq for the sole purposes of stealing oil, Jesse Jackson claiming Bush didn't respond to Katrina because he wanted black people to suffer, .......etc....etc. I could go on and on....

...Louis Farrakahn (sp.?) claiming Bush blew up the levees to make the flooding worse....

What's that saying, that people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw rocks? I suppose its all well and good to hear what democratic "leader" Patty Murray has to say (never heard of them by the way), but let's hear from a real leader. Like President George W. Bush (R):

"I'm looking forward to a good night's sleep on the soil of a friend."—On the prospect of visiting Denmark, Washington D.C., June 29, 2005

"You see, not only did the attacks help accelerate a recession, the attacks reminded us that we are at war."—Washington, D.C., June 8, 2005

"See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda."—Greece, N.Y., May 24, 2005

"We expect the states to show us whether or not we're achieving simple objectives—like literacy, literacy in math, the ability to read and write."—on federal education requirements, Washington, D.C., April 28, 2005

"I'm going to spend a lot of time on Social Security. I enjoy it. I enjoy taking on the issue. I guess, it's the Mother in me." —Washington D.C., April 14, 2005

"In this job you've got a lot on your plate on a regular basis; you don't have much time to sit around and wander, lonely, in the Oval Office, kind of asking different portraits, 'How do you think my standing will be?' "—Washington, D.C., March 16, 2005

"After all, Europe is America's closest ally."—Mainz, Germany, Feb. 23, 2005

"If you're a younger person, you ought to be asking members of Congress and the United States Senate and the president what you intend to do about it. If you see a train wreck coming, you ought to be saying, what are you going to do about it, Mr. Congressman, or Madam Congressman?"—Detroit, Feb. 8, 2005

"And that's why I'm here at the community college system today."—Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 14, 2005

I could go on and on. And trust me, when I say on and on, I mean as in entire books are filled with these. ;)

This is my personal favourite:

"Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB/GYN's aren't able to practice their love with women all across the country."—Sept. 6, 2004, Poplar Bluff, Mo.

kholemann 04-19-06 01:13 PM

Say what you want, President G. W. Bush is one of the finest in the history of this land. The reason why so many liberals are so outspoken against this President is because he is far greater than their hypcratic hero Clinton. The louder they get (and with the liberal media piling on) the more they think they are making a dent into the great legacy this President will leave. One minute he is an evil genius and the next he is an idiot. Its just immature, banal, petty and really quite a shame for them to act that way. Truth, honesty and facts are all on the side of President Bush.

Clearly, Bush is not our most articulate president. But that quote, like the others, is a malapropism, a gaff. It's not even intentional, let alone spiteful.

:rotfl: :rotfl: :doh:

**Edit**
I guess I should put some words here:
Is that why he has the lowest satisfaction rating in recent history? Most of the country is banal, petty, and immature?
:hmm: Somehow I don't think so!

Yes, I've heard on the radio George W. Bush caused the Pacific Tsunami with a nuclear device.

That happened some weeks ago over here with a senator explaining his vote for the new head of the supreme court, which is a woman:

"As a GYN, I've learned to deal closely with women, to understand very profoundly the feminine sensibility".

If he wasn't a GYN, there wouldn't be any problem, he could've just said what he wanted to say, without remembering he was a GYN. But even basketball players can do bad, this substitute senator said:

"I've heard alot about her competence, her knowledge of the law, her intellectuality, but my vote also counts her beauty and charm". Dunked.

Its my favourite because its funny. As are most of the ones I posted (though some are simply creepy - like the one about "catapulting the proganda"). Is GW spiteful? You bet he is, or did you not see him on camera mocking the retarded woman he had denied clemency to (while Governor) and who was about to be executed? However, I thought I'd instead post the lighter side of GW as he can be pretty amusing at times too.

Sea Demon 04-19-06 09:35 PM

Some of you here are funny. :lol: I realize that a popular way for some Democrats to cope with America's political realities is to call G.W. Bush "stupid" or an idiot. Something he's clearly not. But if it makes you feel better....go for it. Just because an individual is not a great public speaker does not mean they are stupid. While I find these Democrats who assume this as amusing myself, I got to say that it displays alot about the accuser. It's called immaturity. And it's not going to win Democrats any votes.

But that's of little significance. I wonder how you guys are going to cope when Republicans retain control of the House and Senate next fall. And yes, G.W. Bush will still be President.

Last month, Pew released its latest study of American attitudes, finding that just one in three support Bush's leadership. Even among those who say they voted for Bush in 2004, his support has fallen from 92 per cent at the beginning of 2005 to 68 per cent. Asked for a one-word description of the President, the most common response was "incompetent," followed closely by "idiot" and "liar."

That's a verbatim quote from a magazine article I posted in a separate thread (Is George W. Bush the worst president in 100 years?). But why let reality intrude upon a good rant. :lol:

Oh...polls...schmolls. Pew also showed a John Kerry victory 1 week before last Presidential election. And we saw how that turned out. The only poll that matters is election day. And the American people have made clear their wishes both times.

BTW, did you know last election, G.W. Bush got more votes than any Presidential candidate in American History??? But that's OK, keep calling Bush a moron and read the polls. Won't change reality one bit.
