hes the guy who sat next to you in school and copyed your work but you did care because you thought he will never be presadent

[voodoo]

Oh, don't get me started on W. Jr.

He's the daddy's boy who got everything and did nothing. Nothing creative, nothing interesting, nothing amusing and certainly nothing that lasted.

I fell a bit sorry for the US. Your status in the world has already fallen considerably. The oomph is gone.

Webster's dictionary on oomph.

oomph (mf)
n. Slang

1. Spirited vigor: �There is not much oomph in the economy, but there is nothing seriously pushing it down� (Murray L. Weidenbaum).

2. Physical or sexual attractiveness.

Dubya was just at Yale 2 days ago, giving the commencement speech.
The quote that stuck out from that speech was "And to all the C students here; you too can be president".

It's hard to believe that Dubya is a Yale graduate, even at the "C" level.

[DoctorGonzo]

I couldn't even get into a state college with Dubya's grades. Much less Yale.

I will hide any and all history of past drug use. Because that is enough to lose the ability to get a Federal Student Loan now that Bush has chosen to demand that applicants get rejected for their youthful indescretions.

I've already made a note to desert my post if I ever get drafted.

Who is George W. Bush Jr.? Does our President have a son I didn't know about?

If you're talking about Geroge W. Bush, son of George H.W. Bush, then I think he's doing a fine job as President. He's lowering taxes, working on privatizing social security, building a missle defense shield, and generally getting more done in his first 100 days than Clinton got done in eight years!

[parallax]

Haha! Pretty funny, MinM.

Welcome to the fora.

[ericwass]

MacManMikeOSX,
While I agree with your sentiments about Bush (more than you know), you don't have a lot of ground to stand on when you misspell "President" and "copied". Seriously, folks, the spelling around here is atrocious. I mean, you should know how anyway - but there's even a spell check button at the bottom. It's embarassing.

[davesimondotcom]

First of all, the first President Bush was George Herbert Walker Bush, the current is George Walker Bush. Not Junior. Just a technical point.

Secondly, many of the people who are calling him a daddy's boy who "got C's" and needed to copy your work (by the way, it's COPIED not COPYED - use the spell check!) are people who just wanted Gore as President.

Let me make this clear. George W. Bush, no matter how influential his father BECAME, graduated Yale and Harvard B-School. You don't just get into Harvard B-School because your dad has influence. Keep in mind his father wasn't even head of the CIA until well after he left college! George H.W. didn't become VP or President until the 80s.

If you compare the education of Bush versus that of Gore, Bush comes out ahead. When it comes to Dad's influence, Gore's father got him his first job as a journalist. Gore's father's NAME got him elected to his first public office, then as a Senator. Then he became VP.

When it comes down to it, I heard this quote somewhere that really hit the spot. "Both Bush and Gore were born on third base and think they hit a triple."

George W. Bush is NOT a stupid man. But I don't mind it if you call him stupid. Go ahead, lower the expectations for him. Then he'll really blow people's minds.

He is much more subtle than you might think. He will probably be looked back at as a masterful politician 20 years from now. Imagine getting the Democrats to go from $0 tax cut to $1,350,000,000,000! That's a big jump for some moron who doesn't know what he's doing!

uhh how do you say that... he managed to avoid a war, and didn't have to formaly apolgize (which would mean we were at fault, which we weren't), got the people home. wheres the bowing down?

declared war on the environment

hows that by removing some of clintons late night hasty got to get a positive legacy orders, so they can see waht the affect would be. 90% of all enviromental laws are a mess. you could easily compare it to the current tax laws.

insulted californians for being environmentalist by siting they brought the blackouts on because of thier caring for the environment, and the last thing

hey dumbass we brought them on by not building any damn powerplants. there is no such thing of a safe to build in enviroment. i know there are a few lizrds that woud love to have my house gone. Caring for the enviroment is one thing, but relgously worshipping it to the point where it prevents any further developments is crazy. you care about the damn enviroment so much, give up your house, your power, everything man made and go live in a cave.

pushing through a tax cut that won't benefit over 80% of Americans. Tell me is 253 dollars per American family worth losing Social Security for people already struggling?

at least with him i am getting a tax cut, something the democrats until Bush forced them to give in, refused to do. i want my damn money back!

also how exactly does giving back some of my own money hurt others. ITS MY DAMN MONEY! i won't see any of it in S.S anyway.

Besides that thje democrats had no problem stealing from it until 1994 when they got kicked out of congress. They caused the problem, then the republicans are responsible for it?

Private industries are looking at Social Security with drool dripping from their lips. They aren't there to help the people, they are there to make a profit.

you know charities are considered private industry, right? why not have the gov't give money for helping opthers to the companies that are directly adminersting the aid, instead of some damn organization 3k miles away?

Once again your being a dumbass... no news organization has been able to prove he stole the election yet, despite how much they want to. Fact is Gore tryed to steal the election and failed.

also How is he stealing your rights? i haven't seen him make any bill that address the 10 admenedments at all.

Maybe if you dumbass's will remove thy head from thy ass, you'll see that the world isn't ending at all.

He stole the election

While I may think you're a cool guy Quad I do not agree with you AT ALL in the above statment. Private organizations have gone back and done what the law wouldn't allow and have counted and recounted vote after vote and every single one of them have come up with the same thing. GWB WON THE ELECTION. If anyone was going to steal the election it was going to be gore. I was watching a show about voting and they had an attourney on there that specializes in overturning elections and do you know what he said? The best way to overturn the results of an election is to recount the votes over and over again. Every time votes are recounted the margine of error goes up and the vote spread thins out. If you recount enough sooner or later the vote count will flip in your favor. What do you think gore's people were trying to do by demanding all these recounts and changing rules for chads etc.? Don't tell me that GWB stole the election... if gore hadn't conceded and had continued those recounts like he wanted to then there would have been a crook in the white house...

How did he "Bow Down to the chinese?" He Didn't bow down at all.
How has he declared war on the environment? By bring Arsenic levels BACK to where they used to be? By Keeping the Clinton Adminstrations CO2 Standard? Standing by during the Black outs? Who created the balckouts? It was the Clinton Administration and the environmentalist wackos who didn't want to build more power plants to go along with the growth in population.

What do you mean his Tax cut which the Dems want but are delaying 80% of the people won't get. Don't give me this rich people's tax cut garbage. Bottom line they make more so they should get back more. They already pay the most taxes of all of us.

Social Security, His plan is going to allow you to opt out if you don't want to have it put in the stock market.

BTW GW BUSH DID NOT STEAL THE ELECTION USA today did a re-re-re-re-re-recount of everything including under and over votes and they said that even with all that Bush would have picked up 1600 more votes. Even the Miami Herald did a re-re-re-re-recount also and they said Bush would of won. So unless you call that stelaing the election then yes he stole the election by rightfully winning.

I think Bush is going to be one of the best Presidents we've had. He already is running rings around the Dems and they are in Shell shock and need to whine about things Bush is doing.

I thought Alec Baldwin, Rosie and Barbara Streisand were leaving the country if he won. Guess they like it here.

As for the environment: Ari Fleisher, when asked if conservation should be a priority, responded that the president "believes that Americans are accustomed to a lifestyle and we do not support changing that lifestyle." Not support conservation. Oh, Jeez. Can anyone supply me a reasonable explanation for not asking America to conserve in the face of an energy crisis which Bush himself said is imminent? Don't give me political rhetoric. Give me logic.

Ever hear of "legacy" students? It's the polite way of referring to affirmative action for the scions of the rich and powerful. All the Ivies admit legacies and the little shrub is no exception.

By the way, the usual way to put it is that one graduates from an institution. To give the verb a direct object makes it into a scientific phenomenon, as in "'I graduated the test tube in kilograms,' said Dubya."

Unfortunately, this isn't true, even today. A phone call from a vip can definitely change admissions decisions, and Harvard has a pretty bad reputation regarding this sort of thing. A C is about as bad as you can get at an Ivy League.

I think it's very funny that you see missile defense as a big accomplishment of the Bush administration. Isn't it great how Cheney (the official White House decision-maker ) says that even if the missile defense system doesn't work, it will still discourage rogue nations from launching nuclear missiles at us? Right.. while launching nuclear missiles back won't discourage them, a small chance that the missile might be shot down will.

Actually, Cheney's right. Regan's (sp?) SDI program was a pipe dream for most of it's existance, but the U.S.S.R was so afraid of it that they tried to bargin with us. When that didn't work they spent themselves into the ground trying to find a way to combat a program that didn't even work yet. In the end the Reds spent 90% of their money on their military, and a couple years later their government collapsed.

Let's not forget, he bowed down to the chinese for 2wks over hostages

Bush didn't bow down to anyone. He handled the situation perfectly, getting te hostages back without ever apologizing.

declared war on the environment

On Clinton's last day in office, he decided to make the standard for arsenic in drinking water lower, even though the current levels were in place until June 2001. When Bush got into office, he saw what Clinton had done, and raised the levels to where they were in the first place.

insulted californians for being environmentalist by siting they brought the blackouts on because of thier caring for the environment

The Californians (namely Gov. Grey Davis) did bring the blackouts on themselves, because they had the option years ago to build more power plants and they didn't.

and the last thing; pushing through a tax cut that won't benefit over 80% of Americans.

Bush's tax cut benefits anyone who pays taxes. A large percentage of people with low incomes don't pay taxes at all, so the cut doesn't benefit them, but people in the lowest tax bracket get the biggest cut (from 15% to 10%). So don't give me this tax cut for the rich crap.

He stole the election, and not he's stealing our rights.

He won the election fairly, and is giving us our rights back.

Well, in the case of family influence, I know how far it can get you. I've been at the other end of it - when you don't get something you deserve because of someone's influence.

Notice I did not claim Bush to be a brilliant man. I was simply pointing out that I didn't think that he was a dumb as people make him out to be.

Besides, if family influence meant anything, why couldn't Senator Albert Gore, Sr. get his son through law school?

Guru, I think you're a kool kat do. But I wholeheartedly believe that the election was stolen. I believe Katherine Harris should have stepped down during the matter as she chaired the Bush effort in Florida. Her direct connection to the affair left a bad taste in my mouth.

But what I truly mean by stealing the election is the fact that those ballots were confusing.. Hell, I even made the mistake on the butterfly ballot. I caught myself as soon as I was about to put my vote in the machine. I promptly went up to the voters table and asked for another ballot. I was fortunately my precint had enough, others unfortunatley didn't. I believe the 16k or 19k votes that were discarded because of this made all the difference in the world. I have no doubt that votes that were tallied favored Bush, I just wish that the votes that didn't count could have been recast.

I feel that Katherine should have called for a revote as Florida LAW states we can have in an election that's close and inconsistant.

You guys (republicans) won the election, but I seriously believe that in 2004 many, many, people whom voted for Bush will turn RINO.

Plus it doesn't help he's okay oil drilling off the coast of Florida and as you all know our beaches is what keeps this state afloat. Bad move George bad move.

It seems you are his lawyer. On retainer or is this pro bono? Does this mean you'll be protecting the legal integrity of this great nation of ours? Jeez, I feel safer already. I'll be your legal briefs will be a real treat to read!

No, unlike many of my commrads I won't be pursuing law. I choose to take something much greater on.. The educational system. I have a few words for you but, I'll save them for my upcoming post.. STAY tuned ya here!

I believe the Mayan calendar is right, the world will end Dec. 12, 2013. Be ready for it.

becaus of what you said earlier

He stole the election, and not he's stealing our rights.

being a law student (and 8th in you class as that) you should see this as a stupid comment, it has no basis what so ever, it is merely a regurigitation of the standard liberal complaints. looking around you might see that your comment has no basis and was stated blindly. Not everyone disagree with is a dumbass, hell even people i agree with are, but if you make blind comments with out any basis what so ever for them, i will cal you a dumbass.

I feel that Katherine should have called for a revote as Florida LAW states we can have in an election that's close and inconsistant.

I seriously doubt there could have been a re-vote. Too many people's decisions would have been tainted by the previous vote's outcome. On top of that, Gore and Bush would have to comtinue stumping in FL. FL law might mandate a revote on close local elections, but a revote on a presidential election is unconstitutional.

Bush won the election fair and square, he won the initial popular vote in Florida as well as the re-counts. Al Gore wanted keep the election going as long as he wasn't the winner, very bad form.

Education. Excellent. Ironic, but excellent. It's a good place to be. As for your reply: i'd be washing forit (to be honest, it's a welcome break from the NFN saga).

Start a new thread on that for sure. I'd like to hear what you have to say. You going to grad school when you finish? I assume your working on a BA or BS now. (?)

Actually, Cheney's right. Regan's (sp?) SDI program was a pipe dream for most of it's existance, but the U.S.S.R was so afraid of it that they tried to bargin with us. When that didn't work they spent themselves into the ground trying to find a way to combat a program that didn't even work yet. In the end the Reds spent 90% of their money on their military, and a couple years later their government collapsed.

Um, so your point is that North Korea is going to spend tons of money trying to build a missile defense system to match ours? So much money that they won't have any left over for building nuclear missiles? That's an interesting scenario but it doesn't seem very likely to me; maybe you and Mr Cheney would disagree.

Being overeducated and/or limited to real world exposure - or lack of, usually creates a breed of Ivy League A**hole who claims to understand humanitarian issues- going to the point of wearing those god-aweful birkenstocks, then upon graduating doing nothing but contribute to problems of the world by working for huge multinational conglomerates hell bent on screwing the poorer 97% of the world.

I find this to be a fact in my personal dealings with Ivy league universities and some of the scum that materializes out of them.

Dubya is that scum, who embarked on a Ivy League education, partied (despite the fact the you can now lose all financial aid/scholarship money if caught doing such things, thanx to Dubya who pushed this into action) and barely maintained a C average. An idiot booed by the very school he graduated from - thank God there are a few smart people left at Yale.

This is our president. A freak of nature who luckily had a father as president and a hand in all things evil, finally brought to power through use of conveniently hung strings attached to Dubya's mouth, arms, legs and body, culminating in the coup d'etat of our government for the exclusive use of big business, large military contractors, and lord knows who else.

Geezus, a Hollywood screenwriter couldn't write a more twisted plot.
