View Full Version : Is Bush gonna knock your socks off? Busy 01-23-07, 12:05 AM The guy is preparing a (state of the union) speach, my my, what does he have to say that we don't already know? Genji 01-23-07, 12:08 AM Let's hope he becomes a man for the very first time and resigns. Athelwulf 01-23-07, 12:17 AM Ditto what Genji said. Killjoy 01-23-07, 12:44 AM Let's hope he becomes a man for the very first time and resigns. Oh, yeah... Now we're talkin' ! http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/1582/0906049ol.jpg GIVE ME THE BOMB....!!! Busy 01-23-07, 07:49 AM killjoy, I shiver when I think of him (Cheney) as a not-so-straight shooter... Athelwulf 01-23-07, 08:46 AM Speaking of resignation: Click. (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/11/02/opinion/polls/main1005327.shtml) Richard Nixon's job approval rating in January of 1974, in the middle of the Watergate scandal, was 27%. Bush's most recent approval rating is 28% (click (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/01/22/opinion/polls/main2384943.shtml)). In August of '74, when Nixon finally resigned, his rating dropped to his end-of-presidency job approval rating of 24% (Click (http://uspolitics.about.com/library/bl_historical_approval.htm) and click (http://uspolitics.about.com/od/politicalcommentary/a/historical_prez.htm)). Bush's approval rating ain't that far off. Interestingly, Clinton's approval rating during and just after the Lewinsky scandal never dropped below the mid 60s; in fact, in February 1998, just after the revelation of the scandal, his rating experienced a jolt and came to 72%. Makes you think. It really makes you think. Nikelodeon 01-23-07, 12:49 PM Basically Bush needs to bed an intern. river-wind 01-23-07, 01:12 PM 1/31/07: Reuters: this just in, while on a hunting trip over the weekend, President Cheney SHOT IRAN IN THE FACE with a nuke. Repeat: Cheney, who took over the Presidency from G.W.Bush only this week, SHOT IRAN IN THE FACE with a nuke while hunting for Quial in upstate New Hampshire. The President was quoted as saying "I aimed, and as I pulled the trigger, Iran jumped int he line of fire. I feel really bad. I like Iran." Genji 01-23-07, 06:36 PM Basically Bush needs to bed an intern.Not man enough. madanthonywayne 01-23-07, 06:48 PM Here's what I'd say: My fellow Americans, I know a lot of you are frustrated with the war in Iraq. I can understand why. We've been pussy footing around for too long over there. I am now issueing a blanket presidential pardon for any soldiers on trial for killing the enemy. The new rules of engagement are, do whatever it takes. Kill the enemy until he surrenders or there is no enemy left. On immigration, I am ordering the construction of a triple wall along the entire US-Mexican border. Any illegal aliens already here can be issued work visas if they aide in the construction of this wall. It is to be completed within six months. Also, any companies found to be hiring illegals will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. I am requesting government funding for the reconstruction of the World Trade Center. Each building is to be the tallest in the world. Construction should be under way within the year. I am also issuing this challenge to congress. From this point forward, I will not sign any budget that is not balanced. We obviously can not cut the defense budget in the middle of a war, but every other government program should be cut by the amount necesary to balance the budget. I am also proposing a flat tax of 18% on all income above $15,000. Below that, you pay nothing. in 2001, Americans spent 6.4 billion hours filling out tax forms for the government. All this time will freed up for more productive purposes by passing this simple law. I thank you for your support. God bless America., and go Bears!

Good luck with the rest! Even Giuliani doesn't support that agenda! spidergoat 01-23-07, 06:58 PM Good thing there are no soldiers on trial for killing the enemy, and there are no restrictions on killing the enemy. Busy 01-23-07, 07:25 PM Basically Bush needs to bed an intern. Christian Conservatives will never forgive him... Prince_James 01-23-07, 07:43 PM Madanthonywayne: Run for president so I can be your VP. Mystech 01-23-07, 07:52 PM It seems that Bush's strategy now will be to try to spontaneously generate a domestic agenda. Too little too late I'm afraid.

Sounds like you've got an excellent grasp of what's going on over there. :rolleyes: Rest of the stuff sounds good, but I also must oppose your pro-Bears agenda. Genji 01-23-07, 08:17 PM Haha oh wow. Sounds like you've got an excellent grasp of what's going on over there. :rolleyes: Rest of the stuff sounds good, but I also must oppose your pro-Bears agenda.Right. The 'pussyfooting' has demolished a country, killed hundreds of thousands and 3k plus Americans, not to mention about a trillion bucks in cost. Plus made us millions of new enemies globally. And you want to intensify. Intensify what was a mistake to begin with, for...victory. The only thing that can be done is to emulate Hitler or Pol Pot: Slaughter many more civilians and level the country. Kill babies, women and children. Round up all military age men and boys and kill them all, Serb style. That is the real American agenda anyway isn't it? It's not about WMD's or democracy or a "war on terror." WE are the terrorists and armchair warriors want more blood, thinking that will "win" the war. We will not 'win' anything in Iraq but more debt, more enemies and the label we like to toss all over the world: Terrorist State.

We've been pussy footing around for too long over there. I am now issueing a blanket presidential pardon for any soldiers on trial for killing the enemy.

So you want Big Government to pay for a big wall between Mexico and the US, to pay for two really tall skyscrapers that might just get knocked down later on, and to beef up the national defense and war budgets so the boogie men in your closet don't attack you? What are you? A liberal? (But I do give you kudos for at least wanting a balanced budget.) I thank you for your support. God bless America., and go Bears! Yay bears [sic]! madanthonywayne 01-23-07, 11:23 PM Yay for mindless, brutal bloodshed!There's a name for what you're describing. It's called war. So, you wanna stop the cheap labor and the consequential benefit to our economy? No. I want to defend the border. As I said, illegals would be granted work visas if they met the correct criteria (such as working on the wall). So you want Big Government to pay for a big wall between Mexico and the US, to pay for two really tall skyscrapers that might just get knocked down later on, and to beef up the national defense and war budgets so the boogie men in your closet don't attack you?The border is part of national defense. A primary function of government. The skyscrapers. Well, normally I wouldn't be for government funding of such things. But it's a crime that the towers have not been rebuilt. It's an insult to our nation's honor. What are you? A liberal? A Classical Liberal, yes. Yay bears [sic]! Something we can agree on, plus the balanced budget. It's a start. draqon 01-23-07, 11:25 PM Is Bush gonna knock your socks off? I walk barefoot Athelwulf 01-24-07, 12:02 AM There's a name for what you're describing. It's called war. Glad you recognized it. No. I want to defend the border. That way cheap labor can't infuse and improve our economy. As I said, illegals would be granted work visas if they met the correct criteria (such as working on the wall). That's practically inviting them to come over and stay and leech off our resources. And once the wall is finished, they'll be taking our jobs. The border is part of national defense. A primary function of government. A Big Government, maybe. The skyscrapers. Well, normally I wouldn't be for government funding of such things. But it's a crime that the towers have not been rebuilt. It's an insult to our nation's honor. I don't follow, but okay. A Classical Liberal, yes. Ah yes, the libertarian streak. I admit that I forgot about that. But I thought libertarians were against Big Government just like (pre-neo) conservatives. Something we can agree on, plus the balanced budget. It's a start. I remember a president that got us a surplus. Also managed the highest end-of-presidency job approval rating in the last forty to fifty years. Busy 01-24-07, 06:57 AM I gotta say this, Bush gave a great speech, I don't agree with him on everything but he did a good job! spuriousmonkey 01-24-07, 07:00 AM I Europe we judge politicians on their actions, not their words. Busy 01-24-07, 07:04 AM Is Bush gonna knock your socks off? I walk barefootYou live in Asia? Athelwulf 01-24-07, 07:30 AM Judging by that last comment from him, I'm betting he ain't European. The poor soul. draqon 01-24-07, 08:53 AM You live in Asia? I live in my apartment. spuriousmonkey 01-24-07, 09:05 AM I live in my apartment. You live in your carbon sac filled with water. ;) |
