Things you have to believe to support George Bush

Saddam was a good guy when Reagan armed him, a bad guy when Bush's daddy made war on him, a good guy when Cheney did business with him, and a bad guy when Bush needed a "we can't find Bin Laden" diversion.

Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is communist, but trade with China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international harmony.

A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own body, but multi-national corporations can make decisions affecting all mankind without regulation.

Jesus loves you, and shares your hatred of homosexuals and trial lawyers.

The best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops in speeches while slashing veterans' benefits and combat pay.

If condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents won't have sex.

Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy. Providing health care to all Americans is socialism.

HMOs and insurance companies have the best interests of the public at heart.

Global warming and tobacco's link to cancer are junk science, but creationism should be taught in schools.

A president lying about an extramarital affair is an impeachable offense. A president lying to enlist support for a war in which thousands die is solid defense policy.

Government should limit itself to the powers named in the Constitution, which include banning gay marriages and censoring the Internet.

The public has a right to know about Hillary's cattle trades, but George Bush's cocaine conviction and military record is none of our business.

Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime, unless you're a conservative radio host. Then it's an illness, and you need our prayers for your recovery.

You support states' rights, which means Attorney General John Ashcroft can tell states what local voter initiatives they have the right to adopt.

What Bill Clinton did in the 1960s is of vital national interest, but what Bush did in the '80s is irrelevant.

 

[Sultan]

Amen, Makhno.

 

[HankQuinlan]

100%, Makhno. I despair for our neighbours if they are gullible enough to actually elect him this time.

I do admit that Colin Powell seems to be trying to do the right thing for Sudan now. I'll bet he's gone if they return to power, though.

 

[BlueEyesDude]

Powell always been the least dangerous of the bunch, IMHO.

Can't believe Bush can be elected again ...

 

[brianwarner]

For having so much international influence, most Americans are shockingly ignorant of the rest of the world, don't care to know, don't have much respect for other countries or peoples, believe they have the best system of government in the world, think everyone should adopt their system, and annexing of other countries is "for their benefit".

For this reason, Americans are likely to elect Bush again.

In Canada, G.W. Bush could never be elected Prime Minister. The equally stupid Stockwell Day's failure for federal office is a good analogy. On the other hand, we elected that weasel Mulroney twice! But an American analogy is Joe Liebermann, that Republican wolf in Democratic clothing. And to think he was hot on the heels as possible V.P to Gore! Just goes to show that when it comes politics, if Canadians can be stupid, Americans can be stupider.

1. create a new folder

2. name it 'George W. Bush'

3. drag and drop on desk top

4. right click on mouse and choose 'delete'

5. right click on recycle bin and choose 'empty recycle bin'

6. read message

 

[WiYd]

Bush will be re-elected... he will buy another term... it is all about the Benjamins

The difference between Bush and Kerry

Despite their wimpiness on the campaign trail, and the general "lesser of two evils" surrounding the Democrats' image, there are important distinctions on the issues other than NOT being George Bush.

This is an ad being run in magazines like Rolling Stone that outlines some of these differences in policy:

It is certainly appropriate to remember the victims and the heroes of 9/11 today....but placing it in this thread seems to be some sort of positive comment on George W. Bush.

Despite the attempts during the Republican convention to associate him as somehow leading the nation out of that tragedy, I don't believe that it is fair to those victims (and heroes) for a person like Bush to obtain political mileage from that event. Because he happened to be president during that event, despite his complete and total shortcomings as a leader both before and after, he somehow deserves support?

 

[Restless]

This is something that completely mystifies me.

9/11 happened. Therefore George Bush is not a totally incompetent a**hole.

BTW, does no one remember those ealy frightening hours when Bush and Cheney were nowhere to be found. Nobody seemed to be in charge. Nobody was on tv or radio to reassure the people that armagedon was not imminent.

How does this clown get to look like a hero, when he was clearly hiding until the real heroes regained some measure of control?

I give the republicans full credit. You can make a silk purse from a sow's ear.

 

[The Lizard King]

Including them. Why would someone do this to them? Well, you're seeing some of the reasons rights now. There will now be generations of folks in Iraq and Afghanistan who will hate them, and pass it down to future generations, while waiting for their own opportunity to pounce. You can't swim with the sharks and not expect to get bitten.

GWG: Who were those nice folks who let us jam their airports with planes?

DC: What folks?

GWB: Uh...yeah...hey, Dick, ya think this will get me outta that Enron mess?

DC: Enron, Schmenron...ya know there's still oil in that Eye-rack place...any of your good 'ole boys in Texas need any more of that stuff, George?

GWB: Well...I do have an election to finance in a few years...if that helps the boys donate when the time comes, then yeah they sure could use it! (BIG SLAP ON DC's BACK)

DC: Great! We'll go in there...fuck all those people up...and the taxpayers won't mind financing it. After all they won't mind paying a little insurance after we scare the shit out of them with all that stuff that Saddam guy is hiding. You know...the stuff we sold him? Hehehe.

GWB Great idea, Dick! (ANOTHER BIG BACK SLAP) Do you still have that Halliburton gig goin' on the side? Since they're not in the oil business, maybe we can just have them "rebuild" the shithole? Just make sure they tack on a nice gratuity for all your help! Hehehe

DC: Awesome. Are you going to contact your God to get some strategic advice? I think he owes us after he let THIER God bless those bastards who stole them planes and crashed em'.

GWB: Nah...I'll get that weasel Tenet to drum up a slam dunk. He won't mind taking a bullet for a couple of good 'ole boys like us!
(BIG BACK SLAP)....Well Dick, I have to take a shit, can you score me one of those $500 rolls of Halliburton toilet paper?


Hey, September 11, 2001 was a horrific tragedy and I feel deeply sorry for the American public. Unfortunately, if they re-elect this bunch, I fear history will repeat itself and cause further terror and destruction worldwide, perhaps to the point of “Armageddon“. Also unfortunately, Kerry doesn't represent a viable alternative.

I would say God bless America, and us all, but I'm agnostic. I couldn't believe in a God who would make choices such as those for either side that participated in 9/11 and its aftermath. God bless the ones he let live from those towers AND God bless the ones in their successful mission to hijack those planes and wreak terror? I don't think so....

You got them all, buddy!

Well said, Bush is just trying to use the images of the 9/11 event to try to get more votes...on his side and trying to do all the dirty works by supporting this so called "swiftboat for truth" ad...

 

[Oldfart]

Unfortunately, no matter who people vote for, the government always wins.

 

[thebigbopper]

Makhno
great post its amazing how most canadians can see this..but the americans are blind

 

[rick hunter]

One more to the list. In the official Republican policy it condemns China for it's human rights record but not Saudi Arabia? WTF? they both have horrible human rights record. Oh and have Pakistan as your ally even though the President is a dictator who took over in a coup from a democratic government!

Yup. If God did exist, I'm sure that He is appalled at those who wreak havoc around the world in His name. That goes for George W. Bush as well as for Osama Bin Laden. The fact that neither of them has been struck by lightning is proof enough for me that God does not exist. ....upgrading from agnostic to atheist.

 

[dittman]

what you all need to do since you dont have a vote is to quit your whining and bitching and get a grip on reality. Were just not going to let the looney left up in canada run our foriegn policy, and were going to take it upon ourselves to take care of ourselves thank you very much.

 

[HankQuinlan]

quit your whining and bitching and get a grip on reality

Reality means we have to put up with the Bush administration? Time to light a joint and keep lighting 'em for another four years, then.

It is in our best interests up here NOT to have another four years of the loony right down there. When you are the world's only superpower, everybody has an interest in your affairs.

I came across this quote recently and thought it fitting to Bush's America in 2004.

"The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."

-- Hermann Goering, at the Nuremberg trials
