Has the President of the United States lost his marbles?

NEON DEON · 10-05-06, 05:57 PM

Georgie not only is playing hide and go seek with privacey complaints in reference to Homeland Security but also making looney comments Too.

"Bush, for example, said he'd disregard a requirement that the director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency must have at least five years experience and "demonstrated ability in and knowledge of emergency management and homeland security."

His rationale was that it "rules out a large portion of those persons best qualified by experience and knowledge to fill the office.""

ROFLMAO!!!! :rotfl:

Another example of Herr Bush doing as he pleases and further putting our nation as well as the world at risk to terror.

I wouldn't let Bush supervise my toilet! Come On! What is up with this guy?!?! He's just missing the Hitler mustache! Other than that, he's identical in every other way!

On another note:

I also noted today that Mark Foley is making accustations that a priest molested him when he was young, and that he is not responsible for his actions by talking sexually with underage boys over the Internet and sending them pictures of his private parts. And to think that someone on here was stating just the other day that, "at least we republicans don't try to blame others for our actions"!!!!That is obviously now a crock of shiznut!

Got to love American politics! It's almost like watching a very dramatic soap opera, "And these are the days of Herr Bush's life".

Honestly, I think this country would be better run by bottle of stool softner!

ROFLMAO!!! :rotfl:

Vote Democrat in '08 and get at least a president and administration that is into "straight" sex with adults. Can we have Clinton back now, please?

I guess it might depend on how you define Emergency Management and Homeland Security experience. For example a military General may not have civilian agency credentials but has a wealth of experience coordinating, supplying and moving people and equipment in adverse situations.

If you'll remember it was a military man who sorted out the Katrina relief efforts after the pols on both sides messed it up, and it was military or ex-military people who ran the Berlin Airlift, the great San Fransisco earthquake recovery and just about every other major disaster our country has ever experienced.

Bush may also have a point regarding his constitutional right to hire and fire heads of agencies that are under control of the Executive branch, subject to normal constitutional senate confirmation proceedings of course.

It's like the executives right to nominate Supreme Court Justices. The Congress can vote against confirming his nomination for any number of reasons, including they just plain don't like the guy, but they cannot predefine who the President can choose.

You mean like Gerry Studds or Melvin Jay Reynolds or Neil Goldschmidt or David Giles or Gary Condit or Ted Kennedy? Oh wait, those last two only murdered women over 18 so I guess they don't count.

You are grasping at straws if you think the nation will believe the Dems suddenly have a lock on morality. What are you going to do if the they loose again in '08 Subman?

You forgot Barney Frank letting his young male lover run a prostitution ring out of his home, and continually gets reelected. The pride is back America.

Sadly enough, I feel that Washington has a way of manipulating our government. Both parties are full of scandal and this was the main reason for a small representation of "Independants" in Presidential elections since 1992.

My view of '08 is very bleak. The Republicans are going to play damage control due to Foley and the Democrats are going to play "leave Iraq as soon as possible". I'm a moderate Republican and I'm very upset with the latest scandals our party has participated in.

I don't think it was one party, I'm sure Foley's taste was known by both parties. You can't keep something like that quiet in a town so willing to give away national secrets. What bothers me (other than the filth) is that the Dems have been sitting on this info since April and are now screaming "protect the children". If that was their true reason then whay did they wait?

No matter what issues I have with Pres. Bush and his administration, a free democratic society governed by a freely elected democratic government is still the best way to go any day. If you don't like it, please stay away because we don't want you. And we will do whatever we can to create that situation around the world whether you like it or not.
