Question about George W Bush

marktheshark wrote: Well put Gleam. That's why I consulted you on what you said to Nacho in Spanish. Earlier I was simply going say that Spain's pulling out only demonstrated one thing. That their current president didn't win the election, the terrorists did. Damn, you beat me to it! Then we have Synthguy, who seems to think that he knows everything about being a vet simply 'cause he's met a few. During and after my hitch in the 80's, I believe I've met a few myself. Even a lot of recent homecomers just last night at the VFW club. And the last thing they want to be regarded as is victims of the Bush administration. They expect to be treated as respected soldiers and nothing more. Being regarded as a "victim" is just an insult to them. Anyway, Happy 4th! Even you Synth, if you happen to even celebrate it!

I might have posted this twice, but anyway.
Nice,
Mr. Mark the Shark, you know nothing about me.
If you hadn't noticed, I chose not to repond to your
last post directed at me. Perhaps that's the reason
for the attack? Who are you to question my
patriotisim?
In any event, I respect you for your service to our
country, and I thank you for it.
Be well, and enjoy the holiday.
Peace,
Campbell

he should get impaled. he's a heartless son of the neighbour

Yep, sadly that seems to be a very common problem...

 

Can't blame a guy who is doing what he thinks is best for his country.

Winston was wery charismatic, I just got a 60+min. CD of his speeches. It's difficult to judge his political qualities, as I'm not so familiar with the backgrounds or the time when he was on power. At least they were guite sh*tty times...

Some of his immortal statemets: (to a woman who moralized his overdone state of drunkness during the parliament's gathering) "Mylady, I may be drunk now, but tomorrow mornign I'm sober, whilst you are still ugly."

There should be more candidates on the first election round... But, luckily I don't have anything to do with it.

Wake up, he is working for the international companies, and the promotion of the NEW AGE, HE IS A PAWN!

To be fair, everyone else in the country makes America look way too left wing.

Yeah, I hate the motherf*cker.  Not him as a person, neccessarily, but him as a president.  He comes off as kind of a partier, seems like he'd be a fun guy to get drunk with, maybe do a line or two in the oval office, bomb a country together. 

The paycuts are pissing me off.  My dad lost about 40% of his paycut, which was just great for his depression, and gives me even better hopes for college. 
 

i can most easily describe my hate of bush in terms of execution: i i would choose crucifixion, but that would make him look like a religious man (which he clearly isn't) so i'll go with firing squad. but, the squad would shoot him in the ankles and he would have to bleed to death.

i'm not perticularly for execution, but if there is any justice in the world, every member of the bush administration that actively collaborates in the behind-the-curtains dealings involving big oil and iraq needs to be, at least, jailed for the rest of their lives. cheney deserves death more than bush though.

i hope the attorney general doesn't accuse me of treason or threatening the life of our basterd president because of this post.

A little kid from england once asked him "What is the white house like?" Bush's responce:"It is white."

Please, let's be truthful at least.  Bush graduated in the bottom quarter of his Yale class of 1968 with a low 'C' average, and only got accepted to begin with because of his family lineage.  He did graduate from flight training in the Texas Air National Guard, but his low pilot aptitude score of 25 nearly disqualified him before he even started.

He and his brother Jeb have been at the helm as governors of the two states that have executed more Americans in the name of 'justice' than all other 48 states combined.  He has reversed two of the only three years in my lifetime of non-deficit spending, by running up the largest federal deficits in our history, three years running.  At the same time he continues to authorize our Federal Reserve to borrow money daily from the world market to finance tax cuts for our wealthiest citizens, as well as finance wars on the Iraq and Afghanistan fronts that have killed far more human beings than ever perished on 9/11, and redirected funds that might have spared the Gulf Coast in the recent hurricane there, to finance those wars instead.  He has tolerated the imprisonment of hundreds of 'prisoners of war' in Cuba and elsewhere without any of the due process of the laws he is sworn to uphold.  If the flag flying over his head were any other than ours (or possibly Britain's), he would be on trial today in the Hague for that alone.

I, like most Americans, am proud of my country.  I served 12 years honorable active duty in the Marine Corps myself, so I believe I have as much right to say this as anyone:  this man is not acting in the best interests of our nation, or of the world community of which we are a part.  His actions are myopic, xenophobic, and frankly dangerous.  I for one can't wait to see his backside leaving Washington in three years.
