Don't you find it Ironic that Bush protects fish better then Children?

Question

Bush said an order he signed would direct the Commerce and Interior departments to further build up stocks of striped bass and red drum, by working with state and local officials to prohibit sales of the fish caught up to 200 nautical miles out in the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico.

I find it ironic that Bush does indeed seem to care more for fish then he does the health of the children.

The one size fits all responses I have gotten is illogical.

Yes, being a top contributor does have its responsibilities, in as much as Bush has responsibilities to our people, which he is not upholding.

Example
Katrina and now more then two years later people are still out of their homes. Yet when China, a third world country was hit last year with devastating floods that destroyed thousands of homes, the government set a goal that all those brick and mortar homes would be replaced by Feb of this year. They met that goal.
We just muddle along tangled up in politics and lawsuits.
I find it very sad that China cares more for its people then we do.

Answer 1

Well actually, Bush as helped heath care industry, because fish oil is real good for protection of cancer and stuff like that.
If there were no fish left, dads would stop taking their sons on fishing trips.

Answer 2

since when did it become the governments job to take care of us and our children? get a life if you think that government should. if you were to give the so called poor in this country a million dollars they would spend it and ask for more. i don't think anyone in this country really knows what poor is. in the service i saw poor no tv's or air conditioners no two car families no cars at all and yet some how they survive. the government is already part of the cause of not being able to afford health care. check the stats on the cost of government regulations put on the health care industry already and figure how much this amount would reduce the cost if they were repealed. forget the boat and tv's in all the bedrooms and air conditioners second cars fancy clothes and you could afford health care even if it is the bare minimum. mr doodles

Answer 3

Not at all. Fish are tastier than children, heard that on CNN.

Singling out a single piece of stupidity or ignorance by either political party does little to change what goes on in our country. Anyone can bash Bush, or Cheney, or Billary, or anyone with a chance to win a primary - with due respect to S. Colbert.

What needs to happen is ground up reform, before revolution ensues. This continual stalemating only allows time to pass, and others to get oppotunities. Group dynamics in our nation are too powerful, and individuals are diminished to feed the big nothing we've become.

Answer 4

ironic? no. nothing about shrub rates irony. i'd say suspect.

"Larry Simns, president of the Maryland Watermen's Association, said the initiative wasn't needed for striped bass because they are one of the healthiest stocks of any fish on the East Coast."

"It was all part of an effort to burnish his conservation credentials while announcing new initiatives... ." WTF? he's campaigning? if i didn't suspect that shrub is some evil minion of reptilian overlords, or some such, this article would be impressive. conservation is an honorable endeavor and of great importance, there can be no denying.

ah, but i do suspect him. so i must ask, what does this really mean? it means no fishing trawlers within 200 miles of "Vice President Dick Cheney's waterside home outside this charming Eastern Shore village." it means more Homeland Security.

as to what shrub thinks of children, the fact that his two daughters were hardcore alkies by the time of their sweet sixteen speaks volumes.

Answer 5

Not at all!

Both Daddy and Baby have handlers and these handlers have tried for decades to make the Bushies appear to be outdoorsy, Ya know, like them fishermens people.

So fish is something Baby can claim to understand.

American children, on the other hand...may not even be Party members.

What can you be thinking to compare the lofty fish to the Lowly peasant child.

Answer 6

Seems to be a good way to preserve the big corporate fisheries that have bigger boats and bigger fleets to catch them farther out in the ocean where smaller fiherman can't hope to travel.
Would also drive the price up, aking his idea to turn oil rigs into fish farms a more profitable idea.
But what does Bush need to worry? He only feeds on souls of children anyway.

Answer 7

I have seen both parties attempting to help the children. I feel it is only fair to say that. The issue should be HOW we help them, there must be a way to make everyone reasonably happy and still help the little ones.

Answer 8

Are those fish 25 years old and do they have parents who make over $80,000 a year? Do some states spend more on adult fish than on children fish under the program, which leaves some children fish without coverage?

That program was designed to help POOR children.

NOT people up to the age of 25.

NOT families who make $80,000 a year.

NOT to move ABLE families off of private coverage and onto federal health care.

Go to Sweden if you want socialism. This is America and we have what's known as Rugged Individualism.

You should look it up.

Answer 9

What does one have to do with the other?

Answer 10

For once Bush maybe has a point.
