George W. Bush-America's Greatest President
Imagine a world without this most venerable man, sacrificing His dignity that we, the sagacious plebeians of this Greatest Nation, might derive some enjoyment from His ineloquence. Imagine a world with Al Gore as president of the United States of America, or even Ralph Nader (the idealist fool). These are men of apparent intelligence, both of whom would only serve to mortgage our environment and our future at a slightly slower rate that we might not notice. Such actions would only disguise the deep rooted idiocy inherent in all politicians.

One must respect President Bush's straightforward approach to American politics; He says what He means and He means what He says, although He doesn't always know what He means (nor I what he says). Such honesty has not been seen since George Washington chopped down the cherry tree. The American government has chopped down many cherry trees since (Nicaragua, Iran, Guatemala, Iraq, et al) only to admit to the nefarious nature of such acts well after anyone might give a damn. Here's to George W. Bush, and here's to all of us getting the chance to see just how bad things really are.

you know what? These quotes have nowhere near the stupidity of Clinton/Gore's quotes. All of GW's errors are stupid little symantic errors. Do we need remind you of the Gore holocaust quote? Or what about the internet? GW's quite the public speaker compared to those folks.

RE: George W. Bush-America's Greatest President
George W. Bush's syncopated diatribe is reminiscent of Shakespearean iambic pentameter, so eloquent and genteel. When He speaks, His lips move with a sensual grace capable of seducing Desdemona. The hypnotic tone of His voice can bend any and all heads of state to His will. The American public has no choice but to bend over and take it up the a$$ and somehow He seems to make it feel good. Perhaps it has something to do with His choice of lubricant, being an oil man and all. I guess all we can hope is that we don't catch anything in the mean time.

Vile Heinous Atrocious Madman Evil Regime of Bush Junior IMPEACHED and CONDEMNED for Unconscionable Outrageous Mass-Murdering and Subversive Crimes against graced Life


Posted by Anr on October 17, 19102 at 09:36:14:

Wicked intolerable monstrous grotesque Bush Junior says he is "hunting" globally and confesses to his operation in Afghanistan already killing 200,000 Asians to backfire with destroying hatred of the most offensive USA which is on a tragic course of ruinous violativeness and sinister violent backwardsness. Fascist American joiners of this mad wrong negativity and impossible inimicability against better life are damned to oppose security, peace, sanity and dignity with foul attacks against health and life-support. The perverse twistedness of subscribing to destructions in an ignorant misunderstanding of "security" and "defense" is a hapless losing sadistic mockery of competent intelligence which evades them with their deficiency and mental defectiveness. This is a miscreant chaotic disgraced association of misfiring unacceptability and oppositeness to viable passing adequacy. The horrid monstrousness of the American movement which attacks the sane mind with police state forced quack poisoning and distressing sickening abuses is enemy anathema which must be ended championingly for justified vindicated purposes of well-being which is rightly positively favorable.

GEORGE BUSH: PROBLEM OF AMERICAN CHICKEN MEAT IN RUSSIA UPSET MANY PEOPLE IN USA BUT THERE WILL BE NO WAR WITH RUSSIA

US president George Bush stated that the problem of deliveries of American chicken meat onto the Russian market upset very many people in the USA.

Bush stated this in the White House on Monday during the conversation with a group of Polish journalists on the eve of the visit of president Aleksander Kwasniewski of Poland to the USA.

Very many people in the USA believed that an obligation to let American chickens into Russia had been assumed, and they began to be supplied to Russia, but all of a sudden, quite unexpectedly they ceased to be supplied, said Bush, according to whom the US side managed to frankly and bluntly raise the question of deliveries of chicken meat before the Russian side.

Fortunately, we are debating on chickens but not on war, on chickens but not on missiles, as was the case before, the president stressed and noted that Russia and the USA have become friends and that it is easier for countries on friendly terms to find solutions for issues.

In the past, differences between opponents could lead to war but there will be no war between Russia and the USA, the head of the White House stressed.

According to the data of the US Council on Export of Poultry and Eggs, about 1.35 million tons of poultry meat are annually supplied from the USA onto the Russian market, which makes up half of the whole US export of chicken meat.

From March 1, 2002 the Veterinary Service of the Russian Federation halted the issue of permissions to import poultry meat from the USA, and a ban on supplies of all kinds of poultry meat from the USA to Russia came into force from March 10. It was done after Russia had sent an official inquiry about the use of disinfectants, stimulators and antibiotics by the US poultry meat producers in growing chickens and processing poultry meat. The USA had to submit the full list of medicines and stimulators, which are added to chickens' feeds, before March 1, 2002. The answer was not received in time.

On April 10 the USA submitted to the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia documents on meeting the demands made on the quality of chicken meat supplied to Russia, and from April 15 the State Veterinary Service of Russia lifted the restrictions on import of poultry meat from the USA.

At the same time the Veterinary Service of Russia prohibited import of poultry meat from four states of the USA (North Carolina, Virginia, Maine and Pennsylvania) in which the virus of poultry grippe was found, and excluded 14 American enterprises producing poultry meat, in whose products salmonella bacteria were found, from the list of exporters.

From August 1, 2002 deliveries of poultry meat from the USA to Russia must be accompanied with new veterinary certificates.

Russia and the USA are now discussing a new veterinary certificate for poultry meat deliveries. The new demands of control include first of all an analysis of gene indicators, antibiotics and other components.

how so? You know when you have one of the myopic New Conservatives in a corner, they start calling you a liberal.

Iraq has NO connection to terrorism, the CIA admits this publicly, we can find no evidence of WMD, we admit there are no nukes in Iraq. Yet we are mobilizing against them.

Korea has sold weapons delivery systems to countries that harbor terrorists (public knowledge), we know they have a nuclear program, we believe they have the bomb, they have threatened us, we have called them a member of the Axis of Evil.... we're gonna be paying for their oil

Sadam is cruel despot - don't pity him. The Iraqi people will be better off without him. Make no mistake - the WMD justification that Bush touts is completely disingenuous. However, there are several real geopolitical benefits to going to war with Iraq:

1) Control of strategic oil resources.

2) Eliminating Chinese influence in the region.

3) The ability to apply real pressure on Saudi Arabia and Iran.

4) Leverage over Russia through control of oil prices

5) Kicking the French out of Iraq.

Yeah Saddam is a dick, so is Castro, so was Noriega, the list goes on. Whenever the U.S. kicks out a government and puts their own in place we end up in a bad place.

Russia (although these were recently cancelled) and France hold all foreign oil contracts in Iraq. We hold none... Bush is working 2 plans:

1)kill the dude that tried to kill his dad

2)Using the U.S. military to make more money for big oil

Hopefully he won't start another Korean conflict
Donman

2)Using the U.S. military to make more money for big oil

Undoubtedly, but controlling the oil market would be worth it.

Hopefully he won't start another Korean conflict

Or through his inaction.

Actually, my opinion is we should finish the Korean War - before we tackle Sadam.

Has anybody read the book, 50 Reasons NOT to vote for Bush?

Even though, like Farenheit 9/11, it goes over some concepts most of us know it's still pretty amusing at times. Here's a few of the reasons:

1. He stole the 2000 Election
7. He's bankrupting the USA
17. He's a coward
18. He's a wimp
19. He's a dumbass
20. He's full of #&%!$
21. He's a psychopathic killer
47. Cutting the forests to save them
49. He's pro-life: When the baby isn't his

49 was definetely an eye opener. Until I read the book I did not realize credible sources had come forward with info. to dispute good ole GW's position on abortion. You'll have to read the book if you want to know more.

I saw a PBS documentary where they showed Flynt basically being completely freaked out over his money because George Bush was in office and he wouldn't get away with all of the illegal pornography that Clinton let him get away with.

I think you guys have gotten the wrong idea. Check some other threads for my anti-Kerry statements. I don't like either of these guys. I just thought the book was interesting. I've been meaning to read Unfit for Command as well but a co-worker just happened to have this one. Now, do I believe GW paid for abortions in his day? Yes. Do I believe you can have a change of heart? Yes. Do I believe a wealthy man who can have this done when it's illegal for the rest of the country has any say in the matter. No. Plain as day, GW is a liar and it's pretty easy to believe he could be this manipulative.

Since your argument that he's a liar is based on the fact that you think he got an abortion for his girlfriend, it would be nice if you could show me 2 things.

1. a credible source (let's be real here) that proves (reasonably) that his girlfriend actually got an abortion

2. a credible source that says he denied it happening

I doubt you have to look that up since you already know he's a liar, so please let me know the sources. Thanks in advance.

My statement was meant to read, "Bush has lied from day 1. He has been and alway's will be a liar. Therefore, I do not find the concept of him having paid for an abortion to be a stretch of the imagination." I should have know you would read the first word and fill the rest in yourself.

Now, are you saying there weren't lies about the # of people unemployed? Benefits of his grand tax cut? Children left behind? WMD's? He's a politician. It's his job to lie. He's just not very good at it. With his record I don't expect him to ever come forward or admit this. Knowing that he has the connections to make proof dissapear (DUI in Maine) your going to ask me for it? How about the fact somebody made the claim to begin with? It worked when Clinton was in office. One intern spilled the beans and all of the sudden anybody that ever dreamed they slobbed his knob was coming out of the woodwork. Do you believe they all told the truth? Some of them? None?

As for proof, what has been gathered is on the table. Take it as you will. I know that somebody came forward claiming this woman had an abortion. After some research it was found that she was in the hospital having a "DNC" at the time it supposedly happened. This either means the witness is mistaken, or that the doctor wrote it up as a common procedure to keep out of trouble for performing an illegal procedure at the time. Coincidence is hard to swallow on a regular basis and GW has forced enough down our throats.

Oh yes, you were nice enough to point out the U.N. earlier. You should look into the U.S. Biospheres and World Heritage Sites. Since 1978 our government has been handing land over to the U.N. If Bush is our great protector from the U.N. then why hasn't he taken the land back?

He did reverse Clintons decision to sign the ICC treaty though. This was only after he devised the Patriot Act, which has the same effect on the people as the ICC. It only changes who has the ability to strip us of our rights when they please and it no longer protects foreigners in our lands from unjust treatment by our justice system. Of course, if we're so just already then we wouldn't have anything to fear by signing the treaty in the first place, right?
