I bought the Texas Rangers baseball team in a sweetheart deal that took land using taxpayer money.
With the help of my father and our right-wing friends in the oil industry (including Enron CEO Ken Lay), I was elected governor of Texas.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF TEXAS:

I changed Texas pollution laws to favor power and oil companies, making Texas the most polluted state in the Union.
During my tenure, Houston replaced Los Angeles as the most smog-ridden city in America.

Answer 1

I think its great that you gave us this info, but just when things start looking up for my family I am reminded of the waste our country has made making this man our president once again. Thank you though for your comments. Alot of that I did not know and will have to research.

Answer 2

I love these diatribes, and I would love to spend the time debunking the lion's share of what you posted, but frankly I just don't feel like wasting my breath on the chronically disenchanted. I hope the Dems do win the mid term. I haven't heard many Democrats in Congress that have anything but hate rhetoric to offer. Without a plan they will hold power for roughly 2 years and people will once again remember why they voted the Dems out in the first place. In short, get over it, get positive about America and the future, or continue to doom yourself to further obscurity. Moderates in the country do not hold the extremist viewpoint of either the left or right wings, most do not feel the overwhelming hatred of the left wing and the media, and most are just sick of it in general. If the Democrats continue to ignore this truth, it will be at their own political peril because as the moderates go, so goes the leadership of the country. Times have changed, the left wing does not possess control over the flow of information any longer in this country.

Answer 3

I don't agree that this is spewing hatred. It's stating facts. It's one way of trying to make things better by bringing the truth to light so that maybe someone like this won't end up in the White House again. But, as H.L. Mencken once said, "Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public."

Answer 4

What's your question? Ya.. thought so..like most democrats you don't have one..or a point.
Oh..BTW..do a little research on the net and you can compile a really bad looking bio on just about anyone that's a public figure.
So..all your cutting and pasting has done nothing but keep you away from your kiddie porn sites.
Oh Bookish..here's another quote...
"Many condemned Mencken as a racist and an anti-Semite"
Next time you wanna quote someone to forward your liberal agenda..pick someone that's not a Klansman. Just a tip.

Answer 5

If you hate him so much, why don't you go to Cuba and see how you like it there? Or maybe Afghanistan or North Korea. You can also try China. Iran is pretty nice. So is Saudi Arabia. I'm sure all of those countries leaders are outstanding gentlemen working hard for world peace and have no personal agendas. You will be very free to express your opinion there.

Answer 6

Standard government work. Find what's wrong and unable to come up with a fix. Now you can run for president! Check the dictionary for the word question and explain how what you wrote is a question. Make sure to check with your advisers before writing anything else on this subject.

Answer 7

We only have two more years of him, and I hope we survive them. Republicans are going to lose their butts in the midterm elections because of him. And the ONLY one who has been holding him back is a Republican Senator called Arlen Spectre. I voted for that man, and I am glad of that vote.

So, Dem's, you regain congress, what the hell you going to do? You got a plan, or is it all "I hate Bush". Hell we all do at this point. So, what is your party platform at this point? You sure as hell are NOT communicating it.

Answer 8

It's cool if you want to criticize the President. I'm not too fond of him either. But this thing has been all over the place. Find something a little more original.

Answer 9

Do you feel better now? I'm glad, because all you are doing is wasting your own time on something that you can't change and just spewing hatred causes more problems in the country than finding a way to make things better.

Answer 10

Wow, nice of you to join us Michael Moore.
Maybe you should do a documentary on how bad President Bush is.

Answer 11

Do you think any people read that? The only ones who did are the Bush haters. You are wasting your time if you think you will get satisfaction out of arguing with us.
