As I always seem forced to point out, Bush did win by the greatest number of votes, but also by the narrowest margin in history.

Ahh. But you also miss the point, my good friend. Last election we were told that the American people were "fed up"..."ready for change"...."sick of this administration"etc...etc. Polls showed J. Kerry leading all the way up to the election. Yet the GOP managed to turn out more than 62 million voters. :hmm:

I hadn't realized my posting quotes of things Bush has actually said was somehow calling him a moron. In any case, here's another funny one for ya:

"That's why I went to the Congress last September and proposed fundamental—supplemental funding, which is money for armor and body parts and ammunition and fuel."—Erie, Pa., Sept. 4, 2004

Is he dyslexic? Does he read these from a teleprompter? Something ive wondered many times. Id rather see Bush as your president, though he has been a little soft in the ME :lol: But he is better than some ex hippie, pothead, pasifist. The problem with the two party system is that all kind of freeks can "hide" inside the partys. :hmm:

I personally think your president is doing a fine job, But I think he or should I say they have made some mistakes when it comes to Irak.

His general did a great job, planning for the war, but they forgot the peace

have a question that I gonna ask in a new posting

You are the man Sea!

I don't know about dyslexic but he does read from a teleprompter, which has to be positioned in such a way that it doesn't block the many cameras recording him. Maybe he has trouble reading from it due to glare or distance - I have no idea. At any rate, Americans have gotten used to a certain image standard when it comes to the presidency. There's so much energy put into making things look good - Nixon looked bad on TV; Reagan redefined the role of the president as a showman; Clinton was probably the most charismatic dude since Reagan (and for some people, moreso).

I think that's partly why Bush's mistakes earn him so much criticism. Sometimes it seems like he runs into trouble when he strays away from what's on the 'promp and decides to say something in his own words. He either fumbles or loses his place. Almost all presidential speeches are written by professional speechwriters, and choreographed to the umpteenth degree. It's like a Superbowl halftime show, so you can imagine what it's like when he opens his mouth and out flies a "wardrobe malfunction."

I assume you mean that the closest he's come to combat was wrestling the family dog. Heck, I'm no warrior but, unlike W., at least I can say that someone has shot at me in anger.

Yeah. It just goes to show that there are at least 62 million people in the US who can challenge Bush to a moron contest.

No he's been in combat... with a cedar tree:

"As you can possibly see, I have an injury myself—not here at the hospital, but in combat with a cedar. I eventually won. The cedar gave me a little scratch."—After visiting with wounded veterans from the Amputee Care Center of Brooke Army Medical Center, San Antonio, Texas, Jan. 1, 2006

Yeah. There are some people (both Democrats and Republicans) who believe that the moon landings never happened and that Elvis and Buddy Holly are still alive. But that doesn't mean that all democrats or all republicans are wacko conspiracy theorists.

Voting for Bush the first time was probably just an honest mistake. Voting for him a second time was, by any measure, clearly insane. After all, the mark of insanity is doing the same thing over again even after it's clearly giving negative results.

A lot of people from other countries hate President Bush the U.S. and everything we do or try to do. But when I think about it I think it is just a opportunity to hide their own failing and divert attention from problems arising in their own country. Their governments/media start producing diversions and the sheep follow. Unfortunetly France for instance couldn't keep it up.

Leaders love power and will use whatever it takes to retain and increase it. It's easy to hate so it's easy to stir up crap and take peoples minds of more pressing issues that are happening in their own backyards.

Whats happening in yours?

Yeah, but that doesn't necessarily mean that what Bush or the US is doing is right (or even good for America).

Whats bad about it?

A dictator is gone, the people of Iraq are moving on with their lives, we have a strong presence and influence in the middle east, and Iran is quaking in their boots. Last I heard Hamas is openly seeking peace which I know is a farking lie but thats politics.

Our troops are kicking arse and morale is high.


Of course you will never hear it from any media outlet in this country.

I miss the old days when Warriors who failed to achieve a decisive victory and did not die gloriously on the field of battle would throw themselves on their swords rather than bring dishonor to the Empire. :down:

“My life for the Empire!�
"Today is a good day to die!"
That’s the mentality I want in a modern warrior-president. :hulk:
