ORIGINAL: bipolarber Yeah, Jester... the Bush administration has so few scandals attached to it: Thanks for the sarcasm. quote:
Torture (waterboarding, electrified scrotums, bound prisoners having dogs set on them, forced homosexual acts, freezing temps, starvation, etc.) Not him or his administration, that was down the line a bit, and tried harshly in a military court of law. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. Send me a link and I'd be happy to read it. quote:
Destruction of taped evidence of torture Fear suspension of Hebeas Corpus military tribunals for "enemy combatants" (without an official decleration of war) politisizing the justice department (replacing justices based on political affiliation only) warantless wiretapping Not defending him here. quote:
Ignoring the constitution. How? I can't say he did or didn't do it. Tell me how, but as far as I know he stood within his power. quote:
Phone call record database of every call made in the US stop gap enslavement of troops No draft, despite being in the "fight of our lives" If he said "fight of our lives" in reference to the Iraq war I'll laugh. Not going to lie, that would be -really- stupid. quote:
Quagmire Fear "We'll be greeted as liberators!" I think at first we were, if I'm not mistaken. It wasn't until the sects started their civil wars and power struggles that we started being frowned upon. quote:
Bush to UN: "Fuck you!" Just because the UN was disagreeable to taking action does not instantly make it wrong, just a political hot point. quote:
"You're either with us, or against us!" Ever hear 'an enemy of our enemy is a friend'? In politics that's how it works. That equates to 'a friend of our enemy is an enemy.' In a perfect world it wouldn't be viewed like that, but this isn't a perfect world. quote:
lack of body armor for troops "Mission accomplished" Dumb. Agreed. quote:
Still no capture of Bin Laiden I liked the quote above, had you read it, that that would be a great opportunity for recruitment. That was a briliant mind who said that. quote:
being in the pocket of the Saudis No recognition of global warming until last year Because warming isn't a problem. The world depends on greenhouse gasses to keep stable. Know what the major greenhouse gas is? Water vapor! Oh, and the world's only gotten hotter by .4 degrees farenheight over the past 25 years, not enough to make us unstable or irreversable. Did I forget to mention; some places are getting -cooler-. Here, take a read: http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/globalwarming.html quote:
letting the Kyoto protocols remain unratified until expiration "We've turned the corner in Iraq." duct tape and plastic bags color coded "terror alerts" "We're fighting them over there, so they won't come here." Because they've already come over here more than once, and now we're taking it to them. quote:
Fear letting the polluters set their own standards Write a letter to congress, get up and do something. I don't care what you do. Personally, I think they have some control over pollution, but if I look in to it and see that they don't, I'll be inclined to write a nasty letter myself. Hell, if enough of us do it they might *gasp* listen. quote:
no alternative energy initiative until two years ago didn't read the intel on terrorist preperations for 9/11, presented to him on 9/5 attempted to create "turn in your neighbor" legislation $148 billion so far, with no real political progress no bid contracts for Halliburton Abu Grahib Gitmo Black prisons overseas extraordinary rendition (kidnapping) Fear "The insurgency is in it's last throes." no funding for his "No Child Left Behind" mandate cutting the funding for S-Chip healthcare for kids I skipped ahead to this. Know what I hate? Close-minded people that don't look into facts. The whole 'Bush cut health care' is crap, wanna know why? They set the low end to recieve these benefits at 80,000 a year for a four person family. Know what poverty level is? Less than half that. I am NOT paying health care benefits to people who can already afford it. I'm glad he shot it down. Come back to him with a sane number. quote:
swiftboating a 12 yar old for saying how S-Chip helped their family cutting the health care funding for returning vets cutting the funding for military funerals No fucking WMD's ever! There's an interesting book out that explains how Iraq had two parts of a WMD; the explosive and the transportation. In Serbia, after the inspections and the war, they had the detonator. During the war they have satelite pictures that cought a serbian convoy entering Iraq, then leaving with the refugees. Wanna guess what was on it? quote:
Fear You said that already quote:
outing Valerie Plame, and everyone who ever worked with her, at the CIA. Why? because her husband said his reason for going to war was a bald faced LIE! Don't know anything about this so I can't say a word. Give me a link? quote:
"Heck of a job, Brownie." Two years later, and still no progress in New Orleans. Progress is slow, but not inexistent. quote:
Attempted another drumbeat for war, this time on Iran. Guess what? Kerry was for Iran more than Bush. quote:
Mysterious call to FL on election night to brother Jeb 38,000 votes from the black community there being discounted being installed by a republican member of the FL supreme court "won" by 318 votes.... no, really. (trust us on this one) sitting there, looking at "My Pet Goat" for 12 fucking minutes while the towers fell (if you think that's harsh, remember, no one knew what kind of attack it was at the time...there could have been nukes on the way to several cities.. 12 minutes... 12 fucking minutes while D.C., New York and others could have been vaporized...) So...if there were nukes on the way to an overpopulated city and evacuation would be futile due to the population, what could he have done? quote:
Allowing all members of the Bin Leiden family to leave the US while everything else was grounded. Wait...you mean...like the family members that were NOT involved? Oh yea, them. quote:
More fear Yay repitition! quote:
Stem cell research ban to please the religious nutjobs Wasn't there a stem cell research ban before Bush? Gimme a link, I'm actually interested in this. quote:
"Let's teach both creationisim and evolution in schools!" Wait, who are you quoting? Huh? quote:
Spent $80 billion on DHS, nothing to show for it. No scanners of harbor containers, nothing. Just more airport security. Which doesn't work. MORE FEAR!!! Enough with fear damnit, I get it, you're scared. quote:
This man's administration, the one that was supposed to "restore dignity and respect" to the white house, is a fucking trainwreck! His legacy will be as the worst Presidency in the history of the US. Even though he's considered one of the world's most popular people for 2007. Right. quote:
Clinton? Let's see.... he was caught in a lie to congress. About a blowjob. Which had nothing to do with the Whitewater "witch hunt" headed up by Ken Starr. In the mean time, unemployment was 1/4 of what it is today, the economy was the best it'd been since WWII. We were still relatively at peace, despite the attacks on the Cole, and other skirmishes. We were on good relations with most of the world. Oh, yeah, and gas was still $1.00 a gallon. Oh yea, despite him cutting foreign policies, military spending, and taking vactions with the money he magically 'found' after these cuts. Oh, and let's not forget selling military weaponry, including nuclear missiles and mustard gas, to other nations. Yea, I felt REAL safe with him. quote:
You can keep on your knees with a bottle of mouthwash for Bush if you want to, Jester, but I've had a belly full of this GOP prick. I've been noticing a lot of folks who have Bush/Cheany bumperstickers have been scraping them off... even the hardliners like Pat Bucahannan are turning their back on him. You can keep blaming Clinton for as long as you like. It won't change a thing. Who was blaming Clinton? I just plain don't like the guy. Yea, he messed up when he could have gotten Laden, failed to react to numerous terrorist attacks, etc., but what's to blame? quote:
Impeach the cheerleader... save the world. I'd like to state that this was a headache to read. First of all the gramar horrible. Second, if you're going to call something a scandal, make sure it's a scandal instead of a fuck up. There's a difference. fuck up To make a mistake; bungle something.To act carelessly, foolishly, or incorrectly.To cause to be intoxicated. scandal A publicized incident that brings about disgrace or offends the moral sensibilities of society: a drug scandal that forced the mayor's resignation.A person, thing, or circumstance that causes or ought to cause disgrace or outrage: a politician whose dishonesty is a scandal; considered the housing shortage a scandal.Damage to reputation or character caused by public disclosure of immoral or grossly improper behavior; disgrace.Talk that is damaging to one's character; malicious gossip. And finally, you look to be of sound mind and body, in your mid fourties I'd say? Act like it. Instead of jumping to conclusions and just writing some things down in an outrage. Oh, and the sarcasm that was a direct attack to me? Know that it lasted no longer than it took for me to read it.Edit:: Couldn't get the bullet points to go away...ha!
