Duly Consider: Who Does Bush Represent? The American Monarchy »
Posted By trnscndr 1 year, 5 months ago in NewsThis Presidency has been guilty of the worse arrogance in American history, the lowest approval ratings yet the absolute tenacity as if supported by fact and principle. Clearly, his only principle is that he will do what he wants to do until stopped and he will stop the efforts of others no matter how clear their mandate from the American citizens.

"If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just as long as I'm the dictator." -George W. Bush, December 18, 2000
I use the quote to illustrate the point. Bush is clearly going to continue to disregard anything or anyone that disagrees with his worldveiw or purposes.
It's time for the people to demand accountablility from their government.

I can still remember Clinton at his lowest point, up for vote on impeachment; he was giving a speech to the UN, and received a standing ovation before the speech. Despite his BJ, American and the world loved him, and that was what the Repubs hated was a sinner being so loved. God bless BJs?

Clinton's BJ was what ushered in this whole mess. The backlash from that one event caused America to vote in a "moralist" and thus GWB was elected. Now look at the mess we're in. I guess American voters don't really care that they have an incompetant, arrogant idiot leading our country, as long as he's got good sexual mores.

Well we ASSUME GWB has good sexual mores..
How's his virility though?
There should only be one person who knows the answer to both questions but she's definitely too much of a lady to tell. We do also know that Laura Bush has some serious reading material on her bedside table and that one of her favourite authors is Ian McEwan, British author and "suspected terrorist" who was stopped at Vancouver airport on his way to get his National Book Award. [Interventions were made and he did get there with about 20 minutes to spare]
That was when Laura B was quoted as saying that she always has one of his books on her bedside table.
They're pretty intense reading with some sexual material that I suspect would make GWB's hair - at least that - stand on end. But I doubt he'd get past the first couple of minutes [of reading] without nodding out.
Yeah! I know its a below-the-belt punch, sorry about that..
At least we can agree that Clinton was lusty, right!

The reason we are in this mess is because a lot of americans fell for Rove/Bush's scare tactics about gay people and that Bush and gang were such good christian folk.
I'm glad people have awakened and are seeing clearly now what a bunch of sorry crooked bunch of people they really are.

bush was NOT elected. he was CHOSEN by 9 folks, 2 of whom were violating their ethical responsibilities in even participating.
clarence thomas's wife was EMPLOYED BY THE BUSH CAMPAIGN as a member of his transition team.
nino scalia's son was a MEMBER OF THE LAW FIRM representing either the bush campaign or the rnc.
both moralizers ought to have RECUSED themselves. but their moral declarations are only valid for others; they are immune.
he was not elected in 2000; they stole it from gore in jeb's back yard.
in 2004, diebold assured that they would "win" ohio no matter what. since the radical oligarchs--not ONE of whom is truly conservative--get to make the rules under this constitutionally rogue regime, why of course bush did indeed "win" ohio's electoral vote.
maybe it's time to ABOLISH THE COLLEGE.

Electronic voting machines count about 87% of the votes cast in America today. But are they reliable? Are they safe from tampering? From a current congressional hearing to persistent media reports that suggest misuse of data and even outright fraud, concerns over the integrity of electronic voting are growing by the day. And if the voting process is not secure, neither is America's democracy. The timely, cautionary documentary HACKING DEMOCRACY exposes gaping holes in the security of America's electronic voting system.
In the 2000 presidential election, an electronic voting machine recorded minus 16,022 votes for Al Gore in Volusia County, Fla. While fraud was never proven, the faulty tally alerted computer scientists, politicians and everyday citizens to the very real possibility of computer hacking during elections.

The SCOTUS stopped the recount that should have included the entire state, which would have given the election to Gore. Get over it.
What can't be accounted for though is the absolute stupidity of Bush supporters.

>>Look up the Miami Herald's recount...Bush won Florida, get over it
Did that count include thousands of Democratic absentee ballots that were trashed? Don't forget that the FL sec of state "fixed" the same probs on the Republican absentee ballots that caused the Dem ballots to be trashed.
And did it include the miscounts from electronic machines WITHOUT paper trails?
Or the punch-card votes that were NOT counted because the Supreme Court STOPPED the count?
You may make fun of "hanging chads," hut exactly HOW could a heavy-stock paper ballot get dimpled or partially punched if someone wasn't TRYING to vote for a particular item?

Papawolf spreading another pile of Democrap all over it's post.....all legally cast votes were counted, including the ones from the military that Democrats had tried to suppress. The SCOFLAWS of the Florida Supreme Court(all appointed by Dems and all registered Democrats) overturned a perfectly good and well reasoned ruling from a lower court. Then the SCOFLAWS tried to change the dates and rules of the election. Under the Constitution and US Code, elections must be run under the rules in place PRIOR to the election and that includes all dates. The US Supreme court ruled that the SCOFLAWS had violated the Constitution and US Code....and they sent it back to them to fix. When the SCOFLAWS still did not fix the equal protection problem, the USSC stepped in and stopped the illegal partial recount....they followed the law...The SCOFLAWS did not....

You know you didn't answer any of the points. And yes, Dem ballots were thrown away while Rep ballots were changed.
And what the USSC did was to stop the recount while they deliberated, then they ruled a week later that the recount couldn't be accomplished by their deadline. So the awarded W the presidency - basically in a 5-4 vote.
It amazes me that reps gave Clinton grief for 8 years because he didn't win a MAJORITY of votes, just a plurality, then claimed W had a mandate even tho he LOST the popular vote. Just something to think about.

Agreed; the electorial college was created to protect the population from a majority ruling based off of ignorance. It was good because most people were illiterate and didn't understand the issues. Accountability was shifted to hedge risk, however most people today would rather continue to remain ignorant to the issues and just let bi-partisan band-wagon crap dictate the path of our nation (into WWIII). People need to accept the accountability & GET EDUCATED!

Your getting good. That election was farce. The problem I have is I could not vote for Gore again, because he did not take a strong stand and save this country. I think were so far gone now it will never matter. UNLESS we elect real people, we have had 8 years of this shadow govt. crap. The only way I see to get it back is prevent soft money, have real debates, the candidates write a weekly half page article on where they stand. No more TV debates with the questions up front. We have to take it to it's simplest form. It's does not take a brain surgeon to run the country, we just have to hire one for the cabinet.
All politicians should be elected this way. Then nobody is held hostage by the oil ilobbynterest, pharmaceutical lobby, health lobby, and so on. They get you in and you better play ball with them. Frankly I do not trust The Dems of the Pubs.
I know smart people that would make good public servants. Just pay a good salary and a livable monthly income after their service.

I'd just like to point out that GWB wasn't elected the first go-round. How much more obvious would that voter fraud have needed to be before someone called him on it. I mean, his brother was the GOVERNOR of the state necessary to get GWB into office. So, as a good little Bush, he did what he needed to do. It's rediculous how the American public allowed him to get away with that.

You folks are funny..firstly, WHO is the NungaHead who submitted this commentary as news? There should be greater control over what is passed off as news VS. Commentary, which would be "OPINION", not really FACTS as we are taught in Journalism courses. Todays media is a travesty of opinion over-riding fact....it is quite discouraging to KNOW facts and yet see opinion spouted within the media as facts to be absorbed. This must stop or it will destroy free speech as we know it....it will be replaced with whichever loudmouthed zealot yells his rhetoric loudest. Absolutely unacceptable....there are no ethics in ANY of the camps from what I can see.

A statement of fact (suspending habeus corpus) does not indicate "dislike". It is much easier to cast aspersions on posters (as you have) than it is to engage in truly civil discourse.

While Lincoln was far from our worst president ever, he did suspend habeus corpus and (with the concurrence of Congress) instituted a draft during our civil war. He also had people arrested for treason for statements much less inflammatory than what we hear today.

Actually Woodrow Wilson is by far the worse US President and in my book a traitor. In 1913 he formed the Federal Reserve and basically handed the world over to the bankers on a silver platter.
Bankers and Financiers run the show. Politicians are just mere puppets making laws and make conflicts to ensure bankers maintain power.
In 1933, FDR put the final nail in the coffin of the United States by enslaving the citizens and stealing gold. All the US Presidents afterwards are made to fall into step with the banker's agenda under the threat of extreme violence or defamation.

To this day it amazes and sickens me that this immoral puppet was elected, and, for the most part by people who call themselves God fearing. I've got to give credit to the true power people who ran the campaign. They pulled off the biggest hoax of all time.

Assuming the country will survive his impeachment without another false flag attack (followed by Dumbya's Declaration of Martial Law), a generation from now when the Treasury notes come due for his borrowing in '03 to give "tax cuts" to the wealthiest, those working Americans will be taxed in the $ trillions to pay for it.
Between Reagan/Bush, Bush/Quayle, Bush/Cheney, these Repugnants have elevated the national debt by more than $7 trillion - for the enrichment of their cronies and the largest corporations.
The Dumbya dictatorship is the closest this country has come to full-blown fascism. The entire national security complex was radically overhauled and placed at the disposal of Big Oil and elite corporate transnationals. More than 20% of the nation's technological industrial capital was expatriated.
Do you think we'll ever see the repatriation of that capital? Sure: after the concentration camps are filled with dirt cheap laborers ... the Repugant fascist dystopia.

LOL, being aligned with Bush has never had the distinction of being a self-thinker. Most of the agenda items Bush has been pushing all have one thing in common, they are specifically focused to provide benefits for a chosen few while being advertised as a benefit to all. And the fact is it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see thru the smoke he puts out to note that. A great example is the wonderful returns you can make by changing SS, EXCEPT he uses returns from the entire market NOT the selected few funds you would be able to invest in AND he uses returns from the Clinton years to bolster the return rate, the same years he will then turn around and say weren't really as great as they seemed. PLUS he leaves out the cost of administration for the new system which wont replace the old since you will have a choice as to which one you want.

Being aligned with Bush within one topic doesnt mean that Im not a self thinker. I was against the war from the beginning. I knew this was not a war to fight bc it should not be fought since war is not a good thing for most ppl. It was a war against ppl of religion, that their bibles said to hold it in one hand and the sword in the other. How many on any side said that before or even now. We cant pull out now becuase how many it would kill there and it would move back. Do some research! Learn your arguements.
The Returns you mention can only be place back to previous presidents, as you should know. But if you can say that about GW, cant you realize you can say that about Nixon, Bush, Reagan, Clinton, or anyone president in the prior. I dont like speaking politics but if everyone wants to be stupid then its time do my job. I know I cant change your mind, I just want ppl to look at the facts. You have to be open minded about it when doing so.

And how many is it killing now? And exactly HOW do you propose using OUR Army to police a Civil War? What is quite odd in your statement is that was the argument the Dems provided about NOT invading. Unfortunately BUSH didn't listen he had to be a "War" President. I cant support sacrificing MORE troops in a futile attempt to police a civil war.
"cant you realize you can say that about Nixon, Bush, Reagan, Clinton, or anyone president in the prior."
Except THOSE Presidents are no longer calling the shots Bush is and he continues to create one fiasco after another with the sole purpose of enriching the chosen. I'm always amazed at how the justification for the disasters Bush brings about always seems to be "They did it too". I'll clue you in if it was a disaster when THEY did it, its still one now.

Facts:
--Debt as a percentage of GDP (numbers from OMB):
33% after Carter's administreation
66% After Regan's & Bush's administration (doubled)
58% After Clinton's administration (decreased)
72% After Bush's administration (estimate; post WWII high)

How much of the deficit was actually counted when Mr. Bush took office? What about all the off budget deficits that weren't counted when Clinton was in office? If we're so bad off under Bush, why is our economy still pumping along? We came out of a national recession pretty quickly around 2002/2003 when our economy took a tumble from the inflated dot com boom under Clinton's reign and now we're back doing better than before. I'm not saying that Bush should be given credit for the economy doing this well, but presidents don't have a lot of control over the economy, so even though you provide facts, it doesn't represent the whole picture of how and why government financing and the economy work the way they do. Who will you blame when Bush is long gone and the debt climbs even higher?

A good part of current economy results from the borrowing that the Bush administration has done inorder to finance the war (which stimulates the economy) and Mr. Bush's tax breaks (largely to the most wealthy), which also stimulates the economy). The down side is that our children and grand children and will be paying for this economic stimulation.

Social Security was set up as a retirement fund. You are paying into Social Security for yourself for when you retire. The Baby boomers have already contributed.
The national debt (as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product) peaked in 1946. From then until the end of the Carter Administration, the national debt gradually decreased (in spite of the Korean war and Vietnam War). It is the fiscal policies of the Regan/Bush Sr./Bush Jr. administrations that have caused the debt to double since the Nixon administration (Carter and Clinton decreased it). Hence the statement that Bush's economy is financed on the backs of our children.
The debt is now about $22,000 per person.

Social Security is the Federal Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) program. Note the term insurance. You may, at any time, find out how much you have paid into the program (and matched by your employer via FICA contributions) You may also find out, at any time, how much you may withdraw from the program after retirement or disability.
I, a baby boomer, have contributed a sizable amount of money. I, as a baby boomer, expect to withdraw a much smaller amount of money. If you are suggesting that putting in much more than I expect to get out is insane, I'd have to agree. But, being a loyal U.S.A. Citizen, I must do my part in financing the program. Quack!

Dumbya's taxcuts to the wealthy were not that stimulative - unless you subscribe to the oxymoron, "job-loss recovery". What kept the economy from imploding under the Dumbya dictatorship was the housing market boom, which accounted for 80% of the economic expansion. This was engineered by the Fed, not Dumbya's fiscal largesse.
Also, as a result of the Fed's command economics and the last Repugnant Congress, we now have a housing market bubble.

johnkamis64: that the books were cooked under Clinton
That is 100% true. The Clinton regime allowed phony accounting schemes to go on for their entire time in office which led to the dot.com bubble which burst, causing the economy to start tanking in March of 2000, before Bush was elected...even then the Clinton Gore recession was starting......then when Bush became President, he refused to keep propping up Enron as Clinton had done and Clinton's old Secretary of Treasury tried to get Bush to help even after he was out of office.
Enron gave a cool $420,000 to Democrats when the corporation was desperate to get the Clinton administration's help in having the potentially disastrous Kyoto treaty made the law of the land.
Senate ratification of the treaty, which foes explained would have cost the U.S. billions and had a deadly effect on the U.S. economy, would have been a bonanza for Enron.

we had a balanced budget and a huuuge $URPLUS at the end of the eminently sensible, sane, truly compassionate Clinton administration.
dumbya's 1st priority chronologically was to give that all away to his billionaire friends.
of course his real 1st priority was to send the boys and girls who are the children of the worthless peons off to a WAR OF CHOICE!!!
of course, since he was coked out during vietnam, awol from his responsibilities in the national guard spot that daddy fixed for him, he would have little awareness of the tragedy of war.
come to think of it, isn't that whole bunch of oligarchs and their sycophants a gang of draft dodgers? did any 1 of them who go around bloviating about patriotism and treason ever serve their country in the military? i think you'll have to scrape mighty deep in their putrid barrel before you find a chicken hawk who actually knows doodley about it first-hand.

Alice Rivlin and Robert Rubin got Clinton to focus on the deficit. We also had the longest running economic expansion in US history. This prosperity would've continued had the Greasepan Fed not strangled the market to throw the 2000 elections to Dumbya. This is the economic history that lies beneath the lies and propaganda of the brain-dead MSM.
Still, I wouldn't say that Clintonomics was "emininently sensible" - it too, was beholden to large corporate conglomerates and expatriating capital to cheap labor markets and decimating American jobs - which NAFTA did - is not what I would call compassionate.
What gave Clinton a boost was the technology revolution - which generated millions of jobs - and this in turn was fueled, unintentionally, by the Fed, which lowered interest rates to bail out Asian banks.

Here's the usual Repugnant deceit. We're still paying for the Reagan era - who generated more debt than all previous administrations COMBINED. The Dumbya dictatorship outspent Reagan.
What's going to happen a generation from now when the Treasury Notes are due? Answer: Tax increases off the backs of working Americans.
We recall Dumbya's empty and duplicitous promises that his fiscal plan would pay down the debt ... he then proceeded to quietly (because the brain-dead MSM was asleep) raise the debt ceiling over and over and over and over and over again.
Another Repugnant deceit is the off-balance sheet debt which presents the true picture of America's fiscal plight: when added to the public debt and intragovernment debt it exceeds 450% of GDP. How do you think Dumbya is financing his serial wars? LIAR!

And before the Reagan/Bush years there was the Carter years, where the economy was in the tank, the Soviet Union had the U.S. on the ropes, Iran took our people hostage, and Carter botched an attempt to rescue them. Reagan comes in, puts us back as a world power, Iran releases the hostages, the economy recovers, and the Soviet Union falls. How was that a bad thing? The deficit can be balanced tomorrow if the president and Congress decide to do it. We have boom and bust cycles and recessions will continue to happen no matter who is in power, but as long as our economy is in good shape, there's really nothing to worry about. As I stated above, as a Generation Xer, I'm paying for Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, and other programs for the generations before me, so none of this is anything new. We're actually paying for Clinton's mess of not investing in our military. Is that something to blame Bush about too?

(Continued)shell game; where the shells spin around, manipulated by the crooked fingers of the BushBitch to the point where the innocent think he shows truth. The experienced player knows to follow the money, and sees through this to see the bloodstained fingers of the Neoconartist!!!
