Kucinich Questions Bush's Mental Health

reply to post by SpeakerofTruth


I saw that Texas tag, and I'm a not raging on Bush 'cause he's a Texan; and I'm glad you understand it's the man I dislike, not his country of origin.

I'm glad that you noticed that I sometimes write in the same words spoken by my countrymen. Especially southerners. Sometimes, that's the best way to get a point across. And if Mark Twain could do it and become so well respected, I guess I can too.

anhinga, despite my personal dislike of the man, do you realize just how much extra impact he gets from butchering the English way of speaking? Let's not sell him too short. Every time he does one of these "Bushisms", he is quoted threefold, which is just what he wants. (Or at least those who "run" him want.)

There's a clown leading every parade, but that don't mean there ain't some serious people in the drum and bugle core. (Speaker, was that "southern" enough for you, my friend?) This is how I see the Bush Presidency.

And the leader of the drum and bugle corps is Dick "Shotgun" Cheney. The man I think is the "real" President of the United States. Someone I trust just as far as I can throw a volkswagon.

This has been a question lingering in the mind of many for the last, oh, I'd say five years of his presidency. After 9/11, Bush started a decline. To be honest, the guy looks terrible and he looks like a man who is afflicted with worries that no one should be.

Interesting point. Having seen footage of Bush immediately after 9-11 I think the decline as you put it began when he had to actively sell the Iraq war. Maybe Bush heart and mind was never really into the Iraq war to begin with.

It's funny you should say that. While I can tolerate Bush, when I see Cheney, I cringe. I think the man is the epitome of evil. I really do.

Regan went downhill as well in office. We all remember his bad memory. Bush seems to be going down that road as well.

He is a video of Bush in a interview. I truly believe he thinks this video will only air in Ireland. He is all over the place.

Xpert, I suspect that Bush's "heart and mind" never were really all that involved in the Iraq war. I personally think that the man is doing as he is told by whomever has manipulated him from the start.

I am not saying Bush is an idiot because he certainly isn't; however, his presidency, in my opinion, has been hi-jacked by some individuals who have nothing but ill intentions. He was not smart enough to see it coming and when it hit, he didn't know how to stop it. So, you know the old saying: "If you can't beat em', join em." Unfortunately for him and America the most, that is what he has done.

Yeah, Rhain, Reagan used to even joke about his loss of memeory. "Nancy, where's my brain?"

I want to say that I regard that as an excellent summary of the situation that was at hand. In past times I would have given you a WATS vote.
Cheers xpert11.

I'm in no way trying to derail the idea of this thread, which is to question the mental health of our president. And I'm really only half joking when I say that people have been questioning it for years; long before he became president.

The truth is that if he was a herd bull, I would cull him. He's never been smart enough to be anything more than "Daddy's Boy", and now instead of Daddy, he has other handlers. As the governor of Texas, he could only screw up so much; but as the President of the United States, he has a much wider canvass.

Would this be the Dennis Kucinich who questions the president's mental health?

NGC, what you have to realize is that in Texas, the position of governor is rather weak. It is like the second weakest governor in the U.S. The Lieutenant Governor, which was Rick Perry during Bush's term, is the one with the power. Very little of what happened during Bush's tenure as governor of Texas was his doing, very little.

Didn't GWB do a lot of drugs when he was young? ie pot, cocain. His symptoms remind me very much of someone that's had too many drugs and damaged a lot of brain cells. I know the damage becomes a lot more pronounced in older age. I think when GWB retires he should become the ambassador of the anti-drugs campaign, I'm sure his example will steer a lot of young people away from doing drugs.

I do not believe it is dementia

When he was in Texas he believed he was still a good person doing good.

When he sold out to the dark side he had to face the fact that he is now doing evil, it eats at him and is destroying him. In Texas he was able to at least tell the truth in debates, now everything he says is either a lie or a distortion to hide other lies. Somewhere in him he knows the truth and it makes it so he can not stand and speak in front of others.

He is in constant denial of his failure from his own knowledge of what is right. That is what I see in him, well that and fear. I think he is over his head with out the character to do what he knows is right.

He ain't crazy, he's a Texan, and they're just that way.

Please, it's a joke. My son and daughter were born in Texas, and one of them is sane, mostly.

Seriously, if you look back at GWB, he's been "A half bubble off plumb" for a long time. "I ain't sayin' he's a couple of bricks shy of a load, but his mud ain't real tight."

No, please, no ovations. I speak with the convictions of a southerner that has seen him in the Governors Office. I wouldn't hire him to watch earthworms grow.

Could the NWO manipulate him? Hell, the PTA could manipulate him.

NG I believe you just nailed it. I'm no English Professer but I think I know what you mean by "A half bubble off plumb." (Thats the first time I read a phrase as this one.) In other words Bush has a screw loose.

This should be archived in the (new Don't have one get one -please) ATS Hall of Fame.

NG you should try your luck as a stand up comic. (That was funny.)

So the impeachment process is possible and/or can be used for criminal prosecution even after George W. Bush leaves office—giving the American people a sense of hope. Even though impeachment while Bush is in office does not seem likely due to the complicity of Congress relative to the illegitimate Iraq War, Kucinich’s efforts relative to impeachment and the efforts of hundreds of Americans relative to impeachment are not wasteful collectively. For example, such efforts are beneficial in that (1) legitimate accusations made in the course of Bush’s presidency appropriately and importantly inform the American people and the world of Bush’s abuses of power, corruption, and dishonesty; and (2) legitimate accusations, for example, in Dennis Kucinich’s excellent book, “The 35 Articles of Impeachment and the Case for Prosecuting George W. Bush,” may contribute to some impeachment and/or punitive process against Bush after he leaves office.

Dennis Kucinich is my role model. Kucinich is simply the best. Congressman Kucinich has, in any case, done invaluable, noble, and exemplary work in pushing for impeachment so vigorously and single-mindedly.

They advocate a few social reforms while largely supporting the same regressive class initiatives that their counterparts do

I'd have to disagree with that statement: Every small "social reform" is only setting precedent for larger ones that are built upon the existing base. This is exactly the agenda that has virtually wiped out all freedom & liberty under the Constitution...Each small step they take beyond their Constitutional limitations has only been built upon, chipping away at the very same Constitution that they're sworn to uphold. Even though politics is all an illusionary veneer on top of their real agendas only shows that they do have agendas backing their actions. In politics, "form" is an indicator of "function."

They like to say that "the end justify the means," but the real core truth is that "the means defines the end." So if Hillary Clinton & Nancy Pelosi seem to act like socialists, then they probably are...If Bush's "form" indicates mental instabilities, then that's probably what's in his skull. "Form follows function."

Ahinga, yes, I tend to think he has dementia...

Which I think was evident even before he became President...Just take a good look at his record when he was the Texas Governor...

Education is just a veneer, and on GWB it's just see through varnish.

And then stop to consider what kind of "education" these so-called, self-styled "elites" get...Normally referred to as Classical Education," I've already written in another thread (first entry of a multi-post reply) about what I think of what's taught in Classical Education!

I'd have to agree...In fact, here's a couple of Mark Twain quotes I dug up that seems that he actually knew Bush personally...
"All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure."
"Cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education."
"Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please."
...And one for Government, in general...
"It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native criminal class except Congress."

Bush "joined them" because he's too much of a coward to set himself up for an assassination but not smart enough to avoid it when he would know it's coming...After all, when JFK started weeding out the illegal Federal Reserve Bank (with Executive Order 11110), JFK wound up dead: Perhaps he didn't fully realize that he would be set up for assassination by "bucking the status quo" in the first place. At least JFK had the guts to stand up for what's right, instead of most Presidents who just buckle under.

If Bush is suffering from dementia, I'd have to say it's caused by the fear for his own life if he should actually do what's right, instead of promoting the evil that stands behind him.

I am more worried about the types that listen to and follow his words than the man himself.
Everyone's got issues, byt why should his be our's? Why has america given this guy so many chances to deceive them?
Wake up already!
