I'm supposed to believe that the man who sat in a classroom reading a
kids' book for seven minutes AFTER he was told the country was under attack,
who was warned repeatedly about imminent threats against the country and
chose to ignore them, who has traipsed off on vacation every time there is a
domestic or international disaster, is a decisive man-of-action with the
fortitude to run a nation.
I am supposed to believe that God himself chooses my nation's leaders
and that, in His infinite wisdom, he chose a lying, thieving, self-
absorbed, pro-torture, pro-war, lazy frat-boy jerk like George W. Bush.
I am supposed to believe that the same man who used family money and
influence to duck military duty, who has failed at every business
venture he ever tried, who never did an honest day's work or accomplished
anything of value in his entire life, is fit to be Commander-in-Chief.

I am supposed to believe that a man who ignores the Constitution he
swore to uphold, breaks the law with abandon, repeatedly lied about the
reasons for going to war, its cost, its duration, and even its goals, is honest
and trustworthy.
I am supposed to believe that the escalating violence, chaos and deaths in
Iraq and Afghanistan are a sign of progress.
I am supposed to believe that a man who, by his own admission, does not
read newspapers, who only meets with and listens to 'yes' men, who refuses
to speak before any group that is not hand picked from his staunchest
supporters, is in touch with the realities of the world.
I am supposed to believe that sending US soldiers into combat without
proper equipment or a viable military strategy, while decreasing their
pensions and their benefits, is a patriotic display of supporting the troops.
I am supposed to believe that gutting the funding of social programs
aimed
at assisting the poor, the sick, the hungry and the homeless

is the
outcome
of good Christians being in office, and that torturing, maiming and
killing
innocent civilians is "doing the Lord's work".
Oh, don't go anywhere, because I haven't even gotten started yet.
Am I supposed to believe that a president who acts like an ill-
mannered,
oafish, mindless buffoon in public, both at home and in international
settings, and a vice president who tells a colleague to go f*ck himself in the
course of conducting the country's business, are both deserving of respect.
I am supposed to believe that spying on US citizens, quashing free
speech,
and suspending laws that govern detention and confinement without just
cause
is preserving the tenets of democracy
I am supposed to believe that alienating our allies, isolating
ourselves
from the world, refusing to use diplomacy instead of aggression, and
causing
people around the globe to hate us is the best way to protect my
country
from violent attack.

the world is going to come to
the
US and fight us in the malls and the super-
markets, that the 'Liberal media' simply forgets to cover the lies,
cover-ups and corruption of this Administration and its party members,
that
voting for a Democrat in Connecticut sends shockwaves of unbridled
encouragement throughout the Muslim world, that a bunch of PNAC members
whose predictions have been proven totally wrong in every instance
should be
dictating policy to my government, that our military isn't stretched
too
thin and they are just recalling those who have already fulfilled
their duty
because they've got too much time on their hands, and that George W.
Bush
spends his summers reading CAMUS and SHAKESPEARE.

I couldn't have said it any better. The man is a snake along with Cheney. Between the two they have managed to change the lives of the majority of peoples here in the United States and even abroad and not for the better I might add. This is a purely greed driven government bought and payed for by the ultra rich and big business. The theory of Democracy is to take care of its people and spread the wealth. It looks more like Capitalism with a touch of Communism thrown in for good measure. This country has turned into a dictatorial society of haves and have nots. Yet we invade preaching it when we dont even practice it ourselves. Do as I say, not as I do kind of thing. Our current administration/President are in it for themselves plain and simple. The sad part is that the Religious Right and the rednecks that support this man are being used to accomplish this "RAPE" of our way of life. Beware those who follow blindly and have misplaced their faith and trust. Violence and greed have never solved anything.

Mr. Cellophane, as a President, a genuine person is the final component he could desire to be, there are adequate of those in this international... i do unlike him, yet i could desire to agree on the fact you're putting forward, saying that if he have been South Africa's President, our u . s . could have been a extra constructive place. a minimum of u . s . a . is conscious no longer rapidly what he's doing. the place for some South Africans, (until ultimately today), and by that i will confess, some black human beings, nevertheless think of Mandela aka Madiba is our President. How undesirable is that? A President is meant to be a frontrunner, an occasion to no longer purely his u . s ., yet others besides. He could desire to set a usual the place his followers could desire to try to be like. examine out our President, worse, examine out our next pathetic President, ZUMA - a rapist, a criminal, a baboon!!!!

Well, it could not be said any better. What is amazing is how the people that posted opposition to you prefer not to deal with these shortcomings and instead attack you. They also start to compare past presidencies like that has any relevance against the actions you pointed out "today". When will Americans stop acting as sheep and realize that "Blind faith in bad leadership is not patriotism".

Now this is what I call a very good way to characterize Bush because he has a lot of faults. By the way, I like to add one more thing about this fool-incompetent.

Exactly what constitutional rights have you lost? Clinton served where in the military? Lies? That might depend on your definition of what is, is. Clinton was warned for years, Bush was in office for months. Who had more time? And as for torture, God I hope so. They torture our soldiers and civilians, cut their heads off slowly, film them begging for their life's and put it on the Internet. I personally wish we would wrap them in wet pigskin and stake them out to dry. Every single one we capture. Piss on your touchy feely, be nice to them attitude. They are not soldiers they do not wear or represent the Government of any country. They are terrorists and the Geneva Convention does not accord them any rights. In WWI,WWII, or Korea they would have been shot. Frankly I think we should release every one in Cuba too. About halfway back to Iraq, drop them overboard with a pigskin raft. Let them choose. I don't want them accorded the rights of American citizens, they're not!

luckily your right to believe is the only one they haven't restricted yet so yes you do. Now it's just a matter of getting your fellow countrymen to fight to get the rests of their constitutional rights back.

That you think any of that crap and spout it proves you have the right to.Thankfully you are in a tiny minority and do not have the numbers to effect elections.
