I just put a "Flux Capacitor" in my car, the upgraded version runs on banana peels, I just have BigMike come over for a weekend and I have fuel for a month
Just EXACTLY what would you like him to do about the gas prices????? The reason we are in this SHIT is because all of the FUCKING DEMOCRATS have been stopping any attempt to either drill for our own oil or build any new refineries. This has been going on for over 30 years. I'm sure the Al Gore would be doing a MUCH better job, right???

I read in the paper recently that Bush asked OPEC to increase production. They flatly said "No", and went on to whine about the declining dollar, after all we've done for them. Why did they do that? You have to go back to WW2 to understand it. The ruling Iraqi cleric at the time forged a pact with Hitler that would have guaranteed him and Iraq control of the Middle East and its oil. Hitler and the cleric lost, but the idea remained in the minds of the Iraqi power elite. Saddam wanted to realize that unfulfilled dream. The OPEC countries were afraid of him. He invaded Kuwait, and had plans to invade Saudi Arabia (Edit: And he had tried to conqueer Iran, the second largest producer of oil in OPEC). He held that it was his and Iraq's destiny to have control over the oil in the Middle East.
Enter the Bush family. George H.W. played his cards well. He pushed Saddam back into Iraq but left him in power, and a threat to his neighbors at the protest of many Americans. George W. the son hated Saddam, understandably. He got Saddam out of the way, being the pro-active non forward thinking man that he is. But wait, there's a problem with that. The OPEC countries no longer need us to protect them.
Saddam was a piece of dung, BUT he still had a use. He had a lot of value as a caged lion. Now, we are at the mercy of OPEC because there's no one that can harm them. That's it. Done deal. My opinion?...enforcing the no-fly zones was a better option. We'd have kept OPEC at heel, our grandchildren wouldn't be paying off this war, and many thousands of our greatest men would not have ended up as casualties.

On Glenn Beck the other night I herd something to the effect of OPEC purposely holing back 2.1 million barrels of oil a week and saudi holding back around 1 million barrels a week to keep the cost up to make them more $$$.
In the Bible days they had legitimate plages of various kinds, but now a days it seems we have plagues of fear, greed, lust and power where enough is never enough. And backwards thinking that throwing lots more money at problems will magically fix them.
I voted for Bush in the first election, knowing that he wasn't the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree, but thinking that he would surround himself with good & smart people. How wrong I was.
For the first time in my adult life, I sat out the election between Bush & Kerry because I knew what Kerry was all about & I had seen what Bush can do. In good conscience, I just couldn't vote for either man.
No one can give a valid arguement to defend GW's policy any more. There's a reason why he's got the lowest Presidential approval ratings in history; The man is a nincom-fuckin-poop.
Case closed.

Bush isnt running the country...Cheny is. He had an adjenda to go into Iraq 15 years ago. he justed needed a weak president to back him.

And that's why I, and about 80% of the American people, say that GW is a nincom-fuckin-poop. The man doesn't have a thought (of his own) in his dopey head.
edit:
It's all Texas' fault. If they didn't elect this dunderhead as Governor, he wouldn't have been elected President.
WAR: WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU TEXANS?!?!?!?!?!?!

I would love to take away the press reporting for 6 months. Allow them to hold press conferences, but only question and answer. Do not allow them to interpret what was said.
Then I want to force all of my liberal buddies (only have 1, but let's pretend I have a bunch of liberal friends) to only watch CSPAN and to watch the speeches of both sides. Basically, I want them to see everything first hand without ever hearing a bit of interpretation from a reporter.
At the end of the 6 month period I want to sit down and have a debate with them over what happened during the course of the 6 months. I guarantee that when I ask them to layout all of the stupid/crooked things Bush and the republicans have done, they will have nothing. There will be no reporter to tell them what he did.
An example of why this needs to happen: Bush strongly pushes for increased oil production, nuclear powerplants, and lower taxes ---> Bush ignores democrats push for fuel efficiency because their plans look good on paper but hold little real world value in the current economic environment --> Liberal reporters (95% of all reporters) report that President Bush is responsible for high gas prices, increased energy cost, and low oil production --> American person, who doesn't know their ass from their elbow, gets all worked up from the report and parrots the information as fact to the world. ---> = the reality of the situation. Bush did do stuff to fix what is going on. He has tried, and been blocked. The difference is his goals are realistic and can be accomplished with current technology, the liberals are all about what looks good on paper. Not what is real.
One more example of how easily the public can be dooped. The armor issue with humvees and lack of field agents in the middle east. BOTH the fault of liberals. Who cut military spending? Who wants to cut military spending? ......... Who thinks the CIA is the root of all EVIL? Who thinks/thought that electronic surveilance was all we needed and it wasn't worth risking field agents lives? See the pattern here? All liberal ideology.
The biggest contradiction is all of the liberal turds who say Bush is this crazy war lord with an appetite for military spending.... if this is the case, reason would dictate that those humvees would have had the most advanced armoring possible if it was up to Bush....but in all reality, if Bush had pushed for increased spending for all of this in the beginning, the press would have had a field day and as a result, so would the american people.
Liberal Philosophy: Take credit for the other side's accomplishments and blame them for your own mistakes.

The money for armor was always there. It was spent on rebuilding Iraq. That's Bush's responsibiilty. The soldiers equipment needs ought to have been met first, then squander millions on building schools, hospitals, and buying gasoline for the Iraqi people.
The politicians in Washington (on both sides) have totally different priorities than the Amercian citizen. These are people that are members of an oligarchy that is indifferent to citizens and soldiers.
So, how did the damn Democrats get to rule in Congress..Don't tell me, we voted them in!!
So since Republican President vs. Demo Congress = we loose ref. their ego's?
You'd think regardless of their affiliation they'd want whats the best for the Country...
That would normally make sense, however with a sitting Republican President what is good for the country is BAD for the democrats.
Bass-Ackwards.
