He was appointed by the supreme court, there are no higher positions, you can't back this claim up with proof either. Besides, it was all within
the limits of the Constitution. So mote it be.
And I guess the fact that Jeb Bush (currently governor of Florida) was the governor of Florida during the 2000 fiasco means nothing at all, right?
I don't think Bush feels like this, he just knows like 75% of America knows, that what he is doing is right.
How about some of his own words if you think that...
"If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier...just as long as I'm the dictator..."
--Washington, DC, Dec 18, 2000, during his first trip to Washington as President-Elect
"You said we're headed to war in Iraq -- I don't know why you say that. I hope we're not headed to war in Iraq. I'm the person who gets to
decide, not you."
-- Discounting the roles of Congress and an inquisitive press in order to look tough in front of a reporter (and avoid answering the question),
Crawford, Texas, Dec. 31, 2002
"Far be it from the American President to get to decide who leads what country... I made up my mind that Saddam needs to go."
-- Statements separated by only a few minutes in interview with ITN, Crawford, Texas, Apr. 5, 2002
"I'm the commander -- see, I don't need to explain -- I do not need to explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being the
president. Maybe somebody needs to explain to me why they say something, but I don't feel like I owe anybody an explanation."
-- As quoted in "Bush at War" (Bob Woodward), Washington, D.C., Sep. 2001
Politics is language, what does this language say to you?
The fiscal crisis began before Clinton left office, but, but of course, your lack of wealth probably means you have no clue about that.
Actually, the bubble burst right at the end of the Clinton era. But that is neither here nor there. Tell me what has Bush done to help the economy?
Tax elimination on dividends? HAHAHAHAHA!!!
He didn't break any promises. When he was running for president, in the debates, did you see the moderator ask, "What will you do mr. bush when
the Al Qaeda fly their planes into the WTC and the Pentagon, completely destroying the WTCs".
That sounded just like something he would say to evade the question...
Go to
HERE for just a few of his broken promises.
The WMD lie isn't a lie, it was a growing threat, but more a threat to Israel. Besides, we saved those Iraqis from Saddam that's all that
mattered.
See, here is the problem. Now that the public's attention has been drawn away from their "emphasized" excuse for war, removing Saddam is all that
mattered anyway. Despite the fact that we were lied to. Despite the fact that Bushies lied to the world.
If removing a brutal dictator was the sole purpose, then why don't we go around the world removing much more brutal dictators? Why don't we do
something about the situation in Congo? (Which is responsible for 3.3 million deaths in the last four years, can you say holocaust?) But unfortately,
America is founded and ran on the double standard.
By the by, where is the proof of Saddam having WMD's yet? Or do you believe he does just because you were told he does?
Rogue State my a$$, america's ideals will not be compromised by evil European royalty and communists.
Now this was just the statement of typical, blind, flag waving American. But you are right about America's Ideals
tm.
Operation
Iraqi
Liberation.
If we are to chose between popularity, or righteousness, then we choose righteousness, something Clinton would not do.
So, it's a matter of devine purpose? Just like Vietnam was, huh?
(Why is it that the "right" blames Clinton everytime the sun don't shine?)
In conclusion to this part, Bush did exactly what the citizens wanted, I will not let 25% of the minority, most being under the age of 30, decide
the future of our country. If the teenage voters want to act this way again, perhaps we should just raise the voting age back to 21.
Just where did you get this statistic? Maybe we should be giving people a competency evaluation before being allowed to vote.
If anyone is deviding anyone, it is the Democrats with their "You're black so you get 100 dollars reperations, you're a mexican so you get first
pick in all the jobs, you're a white, so you get to go crawl into a hole and be shamed you butthead, and god help you if you're Christian, we're
coming for you!"
Want to compare the amount of rich "white" people to the number of rich "black" or "hispanic" people? You may be surprised in what you'd find.
I won't even get into the Christian bit.
You sound like you have little clue as to what's going on in the world, and need to think about it for about 5 more years. Maybe after you've
passed your high school government class you can get into the real world of why things are happening, and not the liberal propoganda world
view.
You think I have little clue because I disagree with you, isn't that typical. You really don't have a clue of how well I know how and why things
happen. And if you want to compare propoganda, the "right" has that title hands down...
It's fine that you have your beliefs, it wouldn't be right if everyone had the same view, but here is a little tip for you: try to have an objective
view of the world, not one of someone who seems to have been stung as a child...
