I wonder what would have happened if Gore was in house...

I agree with that entire list, sadly I live in a Republican state...

[blackhawk]

http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/video/bushbush.php go there its hilarious

[TBuG]

You forgot one:
*I suck



I hate Bush. "I didn't mean to start a nucular war!"

[bigbenwd]

*I set all-time record for the biggest drop in the history of the stock market.
... stock market crash? oh. ok.

[rite]

You forgot one:
*I suck



I hate Bush. "I didn't mean to start a nucular war!"

Did I miss something? When did we go nuclear?

[bigbenwd]

... where is the source for this just do i know who to point out all of the errors to.

[bigbenwd]

i know that at lwast 10 of those are completely and utterly untrue and I have almost ni idea whats going on with politics. and more then half of those have absolutely nothing to do with a reason not to vote for bush.... who cares if he has a rich cabinet.. honestly. I'm not really pro bush, but im anti the anti bush people who just spread anti bush propaganda like an annoying ass hell virus.[/rant]

[Yoko Kurama]

Listen Ben I'm a teenager so I'll put it in teenage terms... Bush sucks ASS...So does Kerry...Kerry sucks less ASS... as did Bush to Gore!!!

[Scalebane]

What the heck is this, YK?

So essentially, you aren't even providing reasons to not vote him? you are simply saying "Bush sucks ASS" without any sort of general support.

And in the realm of the economy, I would simply like some links provided to statements by noted or well respected or simply well qualified modern economists that says that the economy is drastically failing or that there is a poor economic outlook for the future.

[bigbenwd]

ehrn infact, he set a record for highest percentage rise in GDP.

[Flying Dutchman]

I've always been against the Mad Cowboy.............

The GDP is a joke... every time a cancer patient is diagnosed, the GDP goes up because they'll need drugs and treatment. Every time a car crashes, the GDP goes up because people will have to pay for repairs, new cars, insurance, hospital stays, and funerals. Every time someone vandalizes or destroys property, the GDP goes up because it has to be fixed or replaced. Every time anoter species goes extinct because it hasn't anywhere to live, the GDP goes up because there's another few trees or crops harvested.

As for the list -- yeah, bigbenwd, it's obviously slanted. There's a few I'd say are misleading, though I don't see significant errors. As for who made it -- got me. I've seen this "resume" floating around for at least a year or so (which, yes, means it's missing some of the latest fun and games).

[Gaspode'sTooLazyToLogin]

As for the list -- yeah, bigbenwd, it's obviously slanted. There's a few I'd say are misleading, though I don't see significant errors.

Slanted is an understatement. I'm fairly liberal, and out of 50+ items in the list, I can acknowledge less than five of them as legitimate statements. For example, the president doesn't have nearly as much influence on the economy as we like to think, and this latest "recession" is barely a hiccup in the US' economic history (I'm not even sure it can be considered a real recession.) I'll agree that he's corrupt, but so are all politicians. Look at Kerry, he was part of a group that considered assassinating high-ranking members of the US government!

But enough nit-picking, it's an amusing list, and I agree Bush stinks. It's really a matter of who stinks worse, and I don't think there's a good answer to that question.

[Dragon Slayer]

I agree with that entire list, sadly I live in a Republican state...

That makes it just the more important to get out and vote against Bush!

[Dragon Slayer]

the president doesn't have nearly as much influence on the economy as we like to think

His actions do.

[Foolster41]

Man, I'm tied of hearing so much putting down of president bush.
A lot these items have no sort of proof behind it.

*I am the first US president to establish a secret shadow government.

More than a little paranoid, aren't we?

*I am the first president in decades to execute a federal prisoner.

I believe that was Timothy Mcvay, murderer of thousands in kanses city.
Would YOU to give him the chance of escaping and doing it again?

*I have removed more freedoms and civil liberties for Americans than any other president in US history.

Awful vauge. How did he do that?
[/url]

[KingPin]

Foolster,
Not that I am nitpicking, but McVeigh did kill over a hundred people in Oklahoma City. He was also imprisoned in Indiana in a maximum security federal prison. When was the last time anyone escaped to from such prison?

I have removed more freedoms and civil libertyes for Americans - I would point to the Atorney General and the Patriot act. Not that these are so horrible to citizens because the bill has a limited time limit which requires additional consideration by Congress next year.

Shadow government... I actually agree with this one. Simply becuase we, the nation, need leadership in the event of an emergency.

but that is just my opinion... not that it means much

[bigbenwd]

my opinion: i dont really care whos president as long as America dosent start getting bombed by the world, or the constituion is burned and an evil dictator takes over.

[blackhawk]

I agree with that entire list, sadly I live in a Republican state...

That makes it just the more important to get out and vote against Bush!

hes only 14, he cant vote just yet

also, 7 men escaped from a maximum security state prison in Texas about 4-5 years ago and didnt get caught for several months it wasnt a federal prison i think but c'mon 7 people, this was during bush's governorship

[Malaprop]

The "secret shadow government" is not paranoia, here's a nice Washington Post article titled "Congress Not Advised of Shadow Government". The problem with Bush's shadow government is that it ignores the military chain of command and the Constitutional procedure already in place (noting the 20th and 25th Amendments).

McVeigh was indeed the first federal prisoner put to death in 38 years. How one takes that item depends on their stance on the death penalty, and I'm not going to get into that matter of opinion. As for escapees from American maximum security prisons, I can't see that any have. There's a few that escaped from state prisons or while being transported, but I'm not immediately finding any breakouts. Ask the Bureau of Prisons, they're very responsive to inquries; this morning I just got back info from them with a one-day turnaround.

As for the freedoms and civil liberties line, it's referring mostly to the PATRIOT Act, which restricts (probably unconstitutionally) rights enumerated by the 1st, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 14th Amendments, just for starters.

[Argoti]

*I set all-time record for the biggest drop in the history of the stock market.

Ever hear of a little thing called The Great Depression?

*I entered office with the strongest economy in US history and in less than two years turned every single economic category heading straight down.

Again, Great Depression. And most of this is left over from Clinton's administration.

Unfortunately for me, I turn 18 um... one week after Election Day. Well, I don't know who I'd vote for anyway.

[PopsicleStix]

*I said that we would find Osama Bin Laden in a year and said it was not our top priority after only one month of searching...

ass hole

[blackhawk]

It wasnt our top priority cuz he had cancer and was going to die soon if he kept hiding, so he became our lesser major priority

[PopsicleStix]

so... He still gave up looking when he said "...I will not rest until Osama Bin Laden is found and brought to justise..." and sure enough he lied and stopped looking...

and then lied about the whole "wepons of mass distruction" in Iraq...
