President Bush: ‘I’m The Decision-Maker’
In remarks to reporters this morning, President Bush said he would ignore Congress’ opposition to his escalation plan, saying, “I’m the decision-maker.” Watch it:
UPDATE: Flashback to 4/18/06: “I’m the decider, and I decide what is best.”
Transcript:
One of the things I found in Congress is that most people recognize that failure would be a disaster for the United States, and — I’m the decision-maker. I had to come up with a way forward that precluded disaster.

America, this is YOUR spokesman.
Proud?
January 26th, 2007 at 10:55 amI thought he was the “decider.”
January 26th, 2007 at 10:56 amThe Executive is Article II of the constitution, Congress is Article I. Congress “decides” when to make war. Someone give Bush a 3rd grade civics lesson.
January 26th, 2007 at 10:57 amDoes his way forward preclude disaster, because he said it had too?
January 26th, 2007 at 10:59 amWhatever.
January 26th, 2007 at 10:59 amMr Bush keeps prostituing the english language while he sparks new fires all around the world.
Dick Chimney is is what…the “decision-applauder-cheerleader” ?
January 26th, 2007 at 11:00 amChange ‘precluded’ to ‘included’ and you have the truth, America.
New Pearl Harbor, anyone?
January 26th, 2007 at 11:01 amIs it time? He has not convinced me he even has a plan let alone one that will work. Is it time? Et tu, Brute?
January 26th, 2007 at 11:01 amChimpy sez:
Well, at least he’s been told that ‘decider’ isn’t a proper term…
Let us know when you have. (Hint: the ’surge’ isn’t it. Keep trying.)
January 26th, 2007 at 11:01 am“I’m the decision-maker. I had to come up with a way forward that precluded disaster.”
Please Mr. Bush, define for us, what is DISASTER ?
January 26th, 2007 at 11:02 amHow does one “preclude” disaster when disaster has already occurred, and is ongoing?
January 26th, 2007 at 11:03 am“I’m the firestarter! Twisted firestarter!”
January 26th, 2007 at 11:03 amGeorge W. Bush: Making the other two branches of government irrelevant since 2002.
It’d be comical if it weren’t so mind-blowingly scary/sad/pathetic/frightening.
January 26th, 2007 at 11:03 amI thought he was the “decider.â€
he was against it before he was before it. I guess he decided the whole “forrest gump” routine isnt playing out well these days….
he tried the same thing twice before and it didnt work, but this time, he’s got “D1ck’s magic beans”…
I guess the whole “we create our own reality” thing isnt working too well for them.. funny thing is, I beleive its very possible on some quantum level that we do create our own reality in a way.. however.. testing out this kooky and highly hypothetical theory on the world stage is a level of insanity im not prepared to accept..
January 26th, 2007 at 11:03 amSo, Bush is gonna ignore Congress?
Who’d a thunk…
January 26th, 2007 at 11:03 am“I’m the decision-maker.”
Ah, yes, GDumbya! I think you have finally put your finger on the problem.
January 26th, 2007 at 11:04 amPreclude: To prevent the presence, existence, or occurrence of; make impossible.
“I’m the decision-maker. I had to come up with a way forward that [made disaster impossible].”
Yes. Thank you for making a decision that prevented disaster. I’m so happy that you made this single disaster-preventing decision, and I’m not at all dismayed that it took four years to make and I am confident that it will distinguish itself from other decisions that created the current disaster that needed your decider-ing.
January 26th, 2007 at 11:05 am*head-desk*
2 more years of this still…
January 26th, 2007 at 11:05 amI think the man is becoming unhinged, reminds me of a two year old who isn’t getting another cookie. Impeachment is the only option anymore.
January 26th, 2007 at 11:06 amI’m waiting for the day someone says “You’re unconstitutionally ignoring Congress and—-” “I’M THE F%&KING DECIDER, BITCH!”
January 26th, 2007 at 11:06 amMr. Decider,
Just how have all those decisions of yours pan out?
100% wrong.
HINT: Let someone else help you make decisions, okay?
January 26th, 2007 at 11:06 am“precluded disaster”
…
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
January 26th, 2007 at 11:08 amSIGN IT!
January 26th, 2007 at 11:10 amHe is the disaster.
January 26th, 2007 at 11:10 amWho you get in a car with this dry drunk?? Cheney and Bush need to be placed in prison.
January 26th, 2007 at 11:10 amYou may hate Bush, but it wasn’t the American people’s fault they had to vote for him. The Dems put canidate’s (Gore and Kerry) that couldn’t win as they were creepy and didn’t look “in touch” with the average joe on the street. It was doubly sad when Kerry ran. YOu guys could have taken that race with even an average canidate. Instead, you choose a complete loser. Please get it right this time and choose someone that will win. Don’t go even more crazy and nominate Edward’s or something unless you just want to lose again. You nominate Obama and you win by 8 points minimum.
January 26th, 2007 at 11:13 amComment by Roger_Roger
Gore won the popular vote (and the other one to but thats another story)… go away now thanks.
January 26th, 2007 at 11:15 amRoger_Rhetoric sez:
The is ample evidence of election fraud in both 2000 and 2004. Don’t tell us that it’s ‘our fault’ Chimpy is president, when it’s obvious that the elections were stolen.
January 26th, 2007 at 11:17 amHi Roger,
I think Kerry is a douchbag too. But Gore, well, you are wrong about him. He did win. Oh yeah, were supposed to get over that.
January 26th, 2007 at 11:17 amCan somebody PLEASE “fire” this mofo…
January 26th, 2007 at 11:19 am“I’m waiting for the day someone says “You’re unconstitutionally ignoring Congress and—-†“I’M THE F%&KING DECIDER, BITCH!â€

January 26th, 2007 at 11:20 amWas he for the decider before he was for the decision maker?
January 26th, 2007 at 11:22 amGeez, I’m confused.
Hopefully, soon he’ll be the ex-decisionmakerdeciderfailedpresidentcriminalinmate.

Sweet Jesus that would be funny. I have to revise my earlier post, it is more like a spoiled girl at on her 16th birthday party saying “its my birthday, and I say what we do”
January 26th, 2007 at 11:23 amYou may hate Bush, but it wasn’t the American people’s fault they had to vote for him. The Dems put canidate’s (Gore and Kerry) that couldn’t win as they were creepy and didn’t look “in touch†with the average joe on the street.
…yes, because America is a country full of dumbassed high school students and the presidential election is like voting for prom king.
Riiiight.

January 26th, 2007 at 11:24 amthe decider strikes again…….. am I living in a comic book here>
January 26th, 2007 at 11:24 amWe should not give such descriptions so much attention, the most important thing to watch is if we are going to enter another war with a huge conflict with Iran or not….The media seems to gradually now feeding the public with Iran war news to swallow daily more than any time before,some right wing media blending both wars of Iraq and Iran together looking for the ‘clash of civilizations’..some want ‘armageddon and Rapture’ as a divine fulfillment…The Congress should be careful about being thrown into another conflict of a bigger magnitude and destruction. A conflict that might bring a great energy crisis that the world never seen like before . If the Persian Gulf becomes the war theater…..then a big energy crisis will be a big possiblity,with a huge impact on world economy from productivity,to employment and currcencies values. Not to forget the number of people will be killed in such war.

Excellent pic, at first I thought it would be another photoshop pic. But that’s a classic, says so much.
Bush is a child. We didn’t allow a child to be President. He’s a selfish little spoiled brat. He makes Jeb look like a friken saint.
January 26th, 2007 at 11:25 amIf congress is now irrelevant, why are we paying them to be in Washington? I want my money back.
January 26th, 2007 at 11:26 amRoger gets shut down at every turn, why does he keep coming back here?
January 26th, 2007 at 11:26 amKrazny -
The lyrics
“It’s my party and I’ll whine if I want to,
whine if I want to,
You would whine to if you lost both houses of congress”
I know, doesn’t rhyme, but Bush wouldn’t know how to rhyme anyhoo…
January 26th, 2007 at 11:27 amHe looks drunk.
January 26th, 2007 at 11:28 amthe more he proclaims that he’s essentially a dictator, the more his party will suffer at the polls. the american people don’t take kindly to that crap.
January 26th, 2007 at 11:29 amThe Dems put canidate’s (Gore and Kerry) that couldn’t win as they were creepy and didn’t look “in touch†with the average joe on the street.
Instead, you choose a complete loser. Please get it right this time and choose someone that will win.
Comment by Roger_Roger — January 26, 2007 @ 11:13 am
Roger, you are so comical today!
Creepy, out-of-touch Gore was chosen by more people over Bush. The people didn’t elect Bush; the electors in the Electoral College did. And chew on this for awhile:
While it’s 99.999% improbable, keep in mind that each elector is not bound by any law or requirement to cast his or her vote for the candidate that won a majority of the electoral votes.
So there was always the slim chance that Gore still could have been elected. And you can bet that Bush and his boys would have mounted a legal challenge to put the one in Florida to shame.
January 26th, 2007 at 11:29 amIf Bush is the sole decision maker then there is no need for a Congress and Supreme Court, the King has decided. We’re not talking about fart jokes here. This is serious business and our “leader” is delusional.
January 26th, 2007 at 11:30 amBush is right. As commander in chief he does make these decisions. Congress can fund or defund but not command the us armed forces. They do declear war, but they do not fight the war.
January 26th, 2007 at 11:31 amYes, George- We all know you think you are “The Decider“. Well, I have also decided something: that you are a worm. It’s too bad your mother did such a bad job raising you while your dad was off playing Mr. Spook. I hope that one day, you can forgive her for being such a bad mommy. But for now, you just need to seek some help. Check yourself into a Republican Rehab facility and find the answers to some of your illogical questions that have oviously been causing you some distress. Good luck, George- You’re gonna need it.

He’s like the abused wife or girlfriend who insists on staying with their mate because she “loves” him.
January 26th, 2007 at 11:33 amYou guys are still chirping about “stolen” and “rigged” elections? To funny. If you would have picked decent canidates, they elections would not have been even close. It is your fault you lost those elections. Gore did win the popular vote, but that isn’t how presidents are elected. Kerry was just a grade A loser canidate. Pick a good one this time and you will roll to victory without a problem.
January 26th, 2007 at 11:33 amThe population of the US is nearly 300 million, including many of the best educated, most talented, most resourceful, humane people on earth. By almost any measure of civilized attainment, from Nobel prize-counts on down, the US leads the world by miles. You would think that a country with such resources, and such a field of talent, would be able to elect a leader of the highest quality. Yet, what has happened? At the end of all the primaries and party caucuses, the speeches and the televised debates, after a year or more of non-stop electioneering bustle, who, out of that entire population of 300 million, emerges at the top of the heap? George Bush.
January 26th, 2007 at 11:34 amYes,
Barbera “beautiful mind” Bush raised a whole litter of morons and phuck ups. I think Jeb was the only one who resembles some sense of human-like qualities. I would guess Barb is very mean, cold, and heartless. Just a guess, how would I really know? Heh.
January 26th, 2007 at 11:35 amso whatever happened to I am the First Public Servant?

Yet Congress holds the power to toss Bush out on his sorry ass. Oh the irony.

Waiting……
Try something different, or sane, sometimes that will work.
January 26th, 2007 at 11:38 amHe’s the douche-cider.
-GSD
January 26th, 2007 at 11:41 amHey hey hey Rog,
Don’t blame either party. It’s the dumb shits who voted not once, but TWICE for this idiot who are to blame.
Thanks.
January 26th, 2007 at 11:41 amGood…
Bad…
It doesn’t matter. He’s the decider.
And stop focusing on the BAD decisions - they’re in the past… and we are worried about the future… but you can’t question the future these decisions might bring because they haven’t happened yet… so by the time they happen they are in the past… and we are worried about the future… but you can’t question the future these decisions might bring because they haven’t happened yet… so by the time they happen they are in the past… and we are worried about the future… but you can’t question the future these decisions might bring because they haven’t happened yet… so by the time they happen they are in the past…
Anyone else sick to their stomach from the logic loop?
January 26th, 2007 at 11:44 amOne would think the “Decider” might want to re-think some of his decisions given the lack of support in the USA and world-wide.
January 26th, 2007 at 11:44 am#58 The dems didn’t give the American public a choice really. Kerry was an obvious no vote for many Americans. Sadly, you had canidates last time that would easily have won. This time your in the same situation. Obama would win easily. Clinton would have a much harder time, but could pull it off against the right repug. The rest would get destroyed like Gore and Kerry.
January 26th, 2007 at 11:45 amYou guys are still chirping about “stolen†and “rigged†elections? To funny. If you would have picked decent canidates, they elections would not have been even close.

And if you’d pick candidates that wouldn’t lie their asses off to the public about how they are going to bring honor, trust, and integrity back to the White House, how they are going to have the best equipped military in the world, how the U.S. is not going to be the policemen of the world, how America is not going to be in the business of nation building…well, things might be different, too.
So tell us, Roger. Where are all the reports about electronic voting machines selecting Kerry when the voter obviously chose Bush? I’m sure you can find them on the Fox Noise Channel’s Web site. They have a great archive, but damn if I couldn’t find any good news stories out of Iraq. I’ve heard there are thousands of them.
And don’t lecture us about losing, Roger. The Democrats held on to one or both houses of Congress for over 40 years. Your dear Republicans could barely hold on for 12. Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
January 26th, 2007 at 11:45 am61 Rog,
If you voted for him, YOU’RE to blame. Don’t blame others for your mistake. ;)

Well, it certainly didn’t help Kerry’s chances when we had an ass for a vice president telling America that we would surely be attacked again if Kerry were elected. Same as Bush this past election by saying the terrorist win if the Dems take over Congress. Pure bullshit and you know it. And it didn’t help that Bush raised the terror alert many times over the objections of Sec. of Homeland Defense Tom Ridge, who argued that the evidence supporting such actions was flimsy.
Bush’s message? “Be afraid. Be very afraid!!!! Now, go shopping.”

You’re extra full of crap today, Roger.
1) Gore - won the popular vote and would have won the election if the vote hadn’t been rigged in Florida. How was it rigged? Katherine Harris and Jeb Bush purged tens of thousands of voters from the rolls as ineligible, falsely claiming them to be felons. There were 8,000 that had misdemeanors on their records but no felonies. Some just had a name similar to that of a felon. More than half of them were African-American. 91% of the African-American vote that WAS counted in Florida went to Gore. If you don’t believe it, maybe you’d believe the lawsuit that the NAACP filed against Jeb and Harris because of it, and won.
2) Kerry - according to the official vote count, got the second greatest number of votes ever recorded for a presidential candidate in U.S. history. In Ohio, 239,127 votes for President of the United States were thrown out as “spoiled ballots”. 90% of those were cast by African-Americans. I’d love to give you the whole rundown on how Kenneth Blackwell repeated Katherine Harris’ 2000 stunt in 2004, but it would take pages to dump it all on you here. In all likelihood, Kerry would president right now if Ohio hadn’t been rigged.
You just go and take a good long look at Bush and what he’s done and what he would do if he didn’t have any resistance from Congress. If you don’t think that’s creepy, you and the rest of your little 28% club don’t know what creepy is.
January 26th, 2007 at 11:51 am#51…the world is also asking the same question…

You are making the assumption that thinking was involved in the first place. It wasn’t. Politics was… and still is.
January 26th, 2007 at 11:52 amRog and the typical Neo-conservative attitude: It’s not my fault!
You blame the Iraqi’s for the problems in Iraq, which YOU started.
You blame the other political party when you choose and elect a shitty candidate?
You fit the mold LIKE A GLOVE!
January 26th, 2007 at 11:53 am#61 Roger spin is HILARIOUS!!! He would blame the women in a domestic abuse case for having the gull to put her face in the way of the spouses fist.
No conception of accountability. Spin away Rogver your f*cking HILARIOUS and showing your true traits as a Rape-Public-Can.
January 26th, 2007 at 11:54 am#63 Just nominate a canidate this time that I and others could actually vote for. Nominating some Elitist Lefty from Mass. or California will get you no play in Middle America. You have some pretty damn good canidates that want your nomination. Simply let one of the “good” canidates run for president and you win in a landslide. Stop nominating duds like Gore and Kerry.
January 26th, 2007 at 11:54 amRoger x2, still preaching your sister-sleeping values? You talk as if Kerry lost by a landslide when in fact he lost due to a few hundred thousand in my State who were more concerned with actually denying rights to a group of people who also happened to vote for Monkey Oil Jr. Funny that coorelation: Bush Voters == right deniers. Go figure.
January 26th, 2007 at 11:56 amIt’s too bad Barbara’s “beautiful mind” doesn’t take into account the face and body. I heard that when George was young and his older sister died, Barbara went out the very next day to play golf. Her “beautiful mind” just couldn’t wrap itself around or cope with the death of a child very well. She teed-off marvelously, though. I don’t usually like to act so callous and cruel, but you gotta consider the source, here. There are a lot of things about the world in which we live now that I don’t like. Ironically, it’s a bizzaro world partially created by the Bush family. So, I raise my glass to them- a toast, to a man I wish WAS toast! Good ‘ole “Decider” George.
January 26th, 2007 at 11:58 am#61 Roger_Roger
And the only way–the ONLY way–that your beloved moron could win either of those elections was by cheating. It’s proven.
By the way, since you’re blaming the Dems for not having put up a better candidate against Bush, are you willing to concede that the Republicans had a better candidate in 2000 in John McCain but stuck us with this idiot instead? Way to go, assholes.
Unfortunately, McCain’s mind has since turned to mush and he wouldn’t be much better than Bush.
January 26th, 2007 at 11:58 amBush is right. As commander in chief he does make these decisions. Congress can fund or defund but not command the us armed forces. They do declear war, but they do not fight the war.
Comment by sonofdy
And since they never declared war then they can easily repeal their authorization to use force against Iraq without ANY Constitutional misgivings whatsoever….
January 26th, 2007 at 12:00 pm…and they think Gore is a dud?
I guess they’ve NEVER watched George Botch, huh, the Posterboy for Weakness, Failure and Ignorance - in Presidential terms, a disastrous dud.
January 26th, 2007 at 12:01 pm#71 Roger_Roger
Just nominate a canidate this time that I and others could actually vote for.
Nobody should be playing to idiots like you who actually think Bush is a good president. I want to see someone with guts who won’t pander to the numbskulls anymore.
January 26th, 2007 at 12:01 pmWe Republicants have only ourselves to blame for not having good enough congressional candidates for 44+ years in a row! Wooooo dogggy - I’m horny - time to go find my sister! Hail Dubya
January 26th, 2007 at 12:02 pmActually the more Bush does this sort of thing, the more I love it.
With his numbers down in Nixon range, this type of arrogance can’t do anything but hurt him even more.
He may think that his posturing is goint to allow him to stand up to Congress, but I think he’s in for a very rude awakening. Republicans are breaking ranks with Bush and this type of thing is only going to make the fissure wider.
As with Nixon, it won’t be the Democrats that cause Bush’s downfall, but his own Republicans. He’s alienated enough of them that they want their payback. From the firing/timing of Rumsfeld to this type of thing. Bush is going down for a fall.
January 26th, 2007 at 12:02 pmRoger,
Stop blaming the Democratic party. Given a choice, YOU voted for the incompetent moron who’s lists of positive achievements was and is non-existant. The problem is YOU.
Voter, heal thyself!
January 26th, 2007 at 12:04 pmBush needs to decide to STFU for a change. Let’s watch his approval ratings sink into the teens. And let’s also be entertained by watching Roger Roger try to form a complete and grammatically correct sentence lol.
January 26th, 2007 at 12:04 pmenough excuse-making Roger- real conservatives detest excuse-making, and so do people like me, born and raised in the heartland of middle america - defend and support YOUR president, or STFU.
Also, who deserves more to be slapped hard across the face than ol’Dubbie?
January 26th, 2007 at 12:05 pmYour looking at it the wrong way. Sure Bush is a horrible president. Sure Gore and Kerry would have done very very well. The problem is electability. Kerry and Gore were creepy old men that acted robotic. They were not the type of man you look at and say “I could go hunting or go out for a beer with that guy”. They came off as “I am better then you”.
You might have a canidate that would go amazing things if they were president, but you still need to get them elected. Gore and Kerry were 2 very obvious blunders for the Dem party. Neither had a reasonable chance of winning as there personalities were severely lacking.
January 26th, 2007 at 12:07 pmdear rest of the world:
he doesn’t speak for us. we are not all as stupid as he is.
p.s. send help
January 26th, 2007 at 12:07 pmNominating some Elitist Lefty from Mass. or California will get you no play in Middle America.

I dont know about everyone else but I dont want to “hang” with the president. I want a president that is a thinker and a technocrat. Someone that spends his time trying to engineer a model of what his plans should be. Someone that is doesnt even consider if he is better than others or more cultured or anything like that. I want someone that takes pride in the job he does and concentrates on that job regardless of his popularity index. I dont see FDR as being someone I could be friends with … but he had the brains to see that the warnings coming from geeky scientists like Albert Einstein should alter his thinking and even drive forwards a massive Manhattan Project… not for political gain but because it fits into the PLAN he and his assistants have engineered….. THIS is why I like GORE… he has been long before I was into politics a geeky thinker that was trying to solve problems not just get his face turned just right for the camera.

…it has something to with that definition of…
…”insanity”…
…we’ve been hearing so much about lately…
…the one about “doing the same thing over and over”…
…or hell, maybe in that “REALITY” his gods Bushiva and L’il Dick have created for them…

January 26th, 2007 at 12:25 pmHere is the backdrop for “the Decidion-Maker” in chief.
We currently have a string of 6 consecutive months where Americans killed in Iraq have been at 65 or greater. 6 straight.
http://icasualties.org/oif/
We have earlier had 2 stretches of 3 months where 65 or more had been killed. One was the period of the battle for Fallujah and the other was the run up to the last election in 2005.
What this tells us is that what used to be defined spikes have now become the floor for American deaths. In other words, this string of consecutive months can be expected to continue. It has not been explained to me how “the new way forward” will have a positive impact on the number of Americans killed. If anything, it will cause that number to increase. I find this to be an odd definition of success.

We can’t get through the wood, folks!
Roger, Gore won the popular vote by over half a million. Let me say it again: 500,000+ more Americans preferred Gore to Bush. I don’t care that Bush won more electoral votes. Electoral votes don’t measure a person’s popularity. Popular votes do. “Popular.” “Popularity.” Do you see the connection between those two words?
Your lame attempt at “Yeah, but Gore was robotic” or “Gore was creepy” is utter bullshit. I know it’s near impossible for you to do, but just try to ignore the electoral system just for 2 seconds, OK? More people preferred Gore. You got that? More people chose Gore for president. Bush was the unpopular choice. Do you understand?
January 26th, 2007 at 12:28 pmThis comment makes me sick-
We need to impeach this man to show the rest of the world that we are being held captive by a dictator….
Even if nothing came of the process at least it would go down in history that the president was not listening to the nation he serves!
January 26th, 2007 at 12:29 pmImpeach Bush and Cheney!
January 26th, 2007 at 12:29 pmIf Bush doesn’t keep his Iraq war going for another 2 years he and his buddies will lose millions in personal gain from war profiteering. He will not let this happen. America will never leave Iraq as long as he is president.
January 26th, 2007 at 12:31 pmYes both Bush and Cheney - they are the true access of evil

Right on Techno!
…I’m already OVER…
…what I haven’t even experienced yet…
January 26th, 2007 at 12:36 pmSo you want to talk about elections and George Bush, Roger? Yes…let’s.
Picked from dailykos.com:
Rep. Jason Altmire (D) ousted Republican Rep. Melissa Hart in a Pennsylvania district Bush won by 9 points in ‘04.
Democratic Rep. Heath Shuler beat eight-term Republican Charles Taylor in North Carolina’s rural 11th District, which Bush won by 14 points in ‘04.
Rep. Tim Walz, D-Minn. ousted six-term Republican Gil Gutknecht in a rural district Bush won by 4 points.
Rep. Nancy Boyda (D), whose sprawling Kansas district went for Bush in ‘04 by a whopping 20 points.
What was it that the trolls on TP were saying about Democrats can’t win elections?
And I especially liked this, from contributor Devilstower on dailykos today:
It’s obvious even on the right that Bush’s mock bipartisanship is only a civility of convenience. If he is so concerned for congressional advice on the war, why has he so studiously ignored all such advice? If he wants a bipartisan solution on health care, why did such a bill never take root among a Republican congress? Why not work on energy when he held all the cards?
All the issues on which Bush now asks Democrats to solve, were in Republican hands these last twelve years. Only the Republicans couldn’t find time to deal with supervision of Iraq, or immigration, or Social Security, or extending health care to more Americans. Oh, and Republicans certainly couldn’t take care of “earmarks,” as the ballooning growth in those pork rinds happened while Republicans had every control for stopping them. I guess they had just too much on their plate, what with railing against flag burning, gay marriage, and all the other important issues.
It’s clear to everyone that the Republicans are the biggest purveyors of “do as I say, not [as] I do.” They’re that kid who, when falling behind in a race, suddenly shouts that it really shouldn’t be a competition. They want from Democrats everything that they wouldn’t, or couldn’t, deliver over more than a decade in power. There’s another word for that –hypocrites.
January 26th, 2007 at 12:37 pmI know Bush is profiting off this war, but our loved ones are dying for his bank account.
We all need to write or congressmen, scream, yell, email until the impeaching process starts -
Maybe then he will remember who is boss is….. US THE PEOPLE…..
January 26th, 2007 at 12:39 pmElitist?
rog wants a man in office he can shoot the shit with, someone he can kick back,
watch the ball game and drink beer with. Never mind the notion they may actually
know what they’re doing. Ignore the fact that they just may be qualified for the
job. And look who you got! hah! you didn’t want an elitist? Just look at his freakin’
last name, fool.
eat it, rog.
That’s the exact reason we are where we are right now. The republicans
pandered to the lowest common denominator. They put a slick gloss on the package and marketed it to all you fools who voted for this sh*tbag. They sold
a polished turd sandwich, and fools like you gobbled it up.
TWICE!
And now you point your finger and say the dems are to blame? Because
they couldn’t come up with a bigger a**hole with a sillier swagger?
You’re a fool, rog. You voted for yourself, and now this is where we are.
The dems dont need a more polished candidate.
You need to wise the f*ck up.
January 26th, 2007 at 12:41 pmElectoral votes don’t measure a person’s popularity. Popular votes do. “Popular.†“Popularity.†Do you see the connection between those two words?
So why not elect the head cheerleader. She was popular.
Hey, it is not a popularity contest. We are supposd to vote for who will get the job done. Looks like maybe we f-ed up.
Some say tht the 2000 election was stolen. But remember, we live in a REPRESENTATIVE REPUBLIC, not a DEMOCRACY. And our representation put Bush in office (the electoral college) and the Supreme Court (heavily Democrats) upheld it.

All of Floridas votes were counted about a year AFTER the election was all over… GORE won. The electoral votes belonged to Gore also … Gore offered Bush to have the entire state recounted and Bush declined.. if Bush had been honest and agreed Gore won.

We all know the 2000 election was fixed, a plan laid out long before Gore. They put Jeb in as governer, so truth and doing things legally would not happen.

Hey, it is not a popularity contest.
Comment by hacker bob — January 26, 2007 @ 12:45 pm
Not sayin’ it is. But it is called the popular vote. Some definitions of the word, courtesy dictionary.com:
- Regarded with favor, approval, or affection by people in general.
- Suited to or intended for the general masses of people.
Bottom line…Gore was the choice of the people. By over half a million votes. Roger would have us believe otherwise.
January 26th, 2007 at 1:16 pm#84 Roger_Roger
The problem is electability. Kerry and Gore were creepy old men that acted robotic. They were not the type of man you look at and say “I could go hunting or go out for a beer with that guyâ€. They came off as “I am better then youâ€.
You’ve failed to prove your point about electability. Repeating it will not make it any more valid. Gore got more votes, even with Bush’s cheating. In light of that, it’s impossible to say he was unelectable. Bush, getting fewer votes was less electable. And, apparently, there were a whole lot of people who didn’t relish the thought of going out for a beer with George W. Bush. How many would have wanted to hang out with him if they’d known in 2000 what the media refused to report: that he was a deserter?
And, please go look up the word “elitist” before you use it to contrast Bush with Gore and Kerry.
Bush: Has his dad fix it so he doesn’t have to go to Vietnam, gets to jump to the head of the line to get into Air National Guard. Gets into Yale solely on the basis of legacy.
Gore: Enlists in the Army, probably could have gotten his dad to keep him out of Vietnam, but neither Al nor Al Sr. were like that. As soon as the dad loses reelection to the Senate, Al gets sent to Vietnam.
Kerry: Also could have had someone pull strings to keep him stateside. Instead, he enthusiastically signs up and eventually ends up in one of the most dangerous duty assignments in Vietnam.
Which one’s the elitist, Roger?
January 26th, 2007 at 1:21 pmgore had the votes. the rothchilds and the other major players STOLE that election so they could easily work on accomplishing their mission they have set out to do since the early 1900’s.
just like the ohio debacle during kerrys campaign. fraud is what put bush back in office and i won’t undermine the STUPID american folks voting for him.

Thanks for the correction. I was wrong. But was it 5-4 or 7-2. Your numbers conflict.
I know the Gore won the popular vote, if only that actually counted for something. But again, Our representatives in the electoral college put Bush in office and the Supreme Court up held it. That is the way the system was designed.

But it’ll work this time. Because I told the gen’rals it has to work. And I’m the Decider. So when I decide it’s gonna work, it’s gonna work. And I decided. It’s gonna work. It has to work, or my legacy’s gonna be screwed.
oops…did I just say that?
If it doesn’t work, I’ll convene another study group…bye-partisan…with McCain and Lieburman… and then I’ll send in more troops…maybe 40,000 the next time…either that, or I’ll attack Granada…that worked for Reagan…I haven’t decided yet.

“A way to avoid disaster…” As if he hadn’t created that inevitable outcome himself. The self-aware computer from the Terminator series has nothing to fear from this most un-self-aware president.

January 26th, 2007 at 1:57 pm19 Muslims with boxcutters taking down the Trade Towers, attempting to take down the Pentagon is JUST AS MUCH as a CONSPIRACY as this Gov’t committed the worst act of violence on it’s own people. (See : Operation Northwoods, Gulf of Tonkin).

We may not be the happiest with the Iraqi democracy, but they have one and their government wants our asses out. Congratulations. Mission Accomplished. I thought that was the goal? Let’s freaking get out already. Stabalizing a civil war is not a part of that package.
This won’t make the US military look weak. Staying and continuing to lose lives DOES. When the proper strategy by a COMPITENT commander-in-chief is applied and the proper number of INITIAL troops are used, and we spend the right amount of money on PROTECTING THE SOLDIERS, we can kick ANYBODY’s asses.

Vote rigging in Ohio went to Bush (two were sentenced to prison

That being said - I don’t want a president to have a beer with me.
I don’t want a president who is not smarter than I am. I want a guy who can think on his feet, who exercises logic, reason and who thinks carefully about serious matters (decisions). I want a president who can understand the complexity of domestic issues, not to mention the world. I want a president who isn’t afraid to listen to opposing views - a president who knows he may learn something.
I want a president who treats other leaders with respect, though he may despise them, because communication must remain open.
Bush is the antithesis of the above. A worthless, ignorant, trigger-happy, arrogant fool.
January 26th, 2007 at 2:35 pmActually, it is the American people who are the decision makers. And we decided to rid our government of the republican scum last November. Now, we will decide to impeach the republican scum that is George W. Bush. And our elected officials had better listen.

Congress has the power only to decide to prosecute a war. In the AUMF, this decision was made. If Congress wants to stop the war, they MUST either stop the funding or impeach the president. They do not get to decide how the conflict is executed. Never have, never will.

Bush is commander in chief. That’s the deal folks.
If congress and the dems are so angry, vote to cut-off funding. Too cowardly for that methinks.
Unfortunately the country has become too polarized and angry. We’re at war. I don’t recall people questioning FDR when Eisenhower chose Normandy to invade Europe. There was no partisan cry as to why declare war on Germany when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor.
It’s really sad that American’s can’t in this polarized age come together and put their shoulder to the wheel for victory. All this dissension just encourages the terrorists and others.

January 26th, 2007 at 4:05 pmLIBERALS HATE TRUTH
Liberals never let facts get in the way of a good argument. That is just one of the undeniable truths of life that must be accepted by all conservatives. A recent posting on this web site from a chronic Bush hater called “bushisacrook†offers up W’s “resume†and accomplishments as president. Unfortunately this posting was full of lies and half truths, witch is the typical basis for a liberal arguments. It would take to much space to address them all individually,
GEORGE W. BUSH RESUME
ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS PRESIDENT:
1. I attacked and took over two countries. Yes, this is what Bush did. Without being provoked, George Bush took it upon himself to attack and take over two countries….and we would like to apologize to Canada and Mexico.
2. I spent the U.S. surplus and bankrupted the Treasury.
I shattered the record for biggest annual deficit in history.
I set an economic record for most private bankruptcies filed in any 2-month period. I set the all-time record for the most foreclosures in a 12-month period. I set all-time record for biggest drop in the history of the stock market. Hey, did you hear? We’re bankrupt. I guess the Wall Street Journal missed that story, and for the record, the deficit, as a percentage of GDP, which is the only important measuring stick, is still lower than it’s been in decades. (It’s called Economics 101. Take it. Learn It. Live It.) It is an economic fact that George Bush inherited a U.S. economy that was stalling and beginning to tumble and had to deal with a world that was in a death spiral from Germany to Japan. Then 9/11 wreaked havoc on the the economic center of the universe….All in all, I’d say Bush has done a pretty good job protecting us from a Carter-like malaise.
3. In my first year in office I set the all-time record for most days on vacation by any president in US history. After taking the entire month of August off for vacation, I presided over the worst security failure in US history. Any third grader probably understands that a president, never has a vacation. Ever. All they do is move the headquarters for the running of the free world from one location to another. If you call having constant, 24 hour, security presence and daily briefings from everyone who works for you a vacation, then you’re right. ( What a bullshit complaint. I probably shouldn’t even have acknowledged it.)
4. In my first two years in office over 2 million Americans lost their jobs.
I cut unemployment benefits for more out-of-work Americans than any other president in US history. See Economy 101. And for the record, in the last 8 months nearly 1.5 million new jobs have been created, thanks to Bush tax cuts and economic policy.
5. I signed more laws and executive orders amending the Constitution than any other president in US history. After Economics 101, check out Civics 102. Amending the constituion requires a super majority vote of both houses of congress, then ratification by the legislative branches of two thirds of the states. It’s a little harder than just a pen stroke.
6. I presided over the biggest energy crises in US history and refused to intervene when corruption was revealed. I presided over the highest gasoline prices in US history and refused to use the national reserves as past presidents have. Are you starting to understand why school vouchers are so important. Apparently the person who posted this was not alive when Jimmy Carter was president. I remember gas rationing and the “odd/even†method of being told what day you could buy gas. If Bush would have emptied the national oil reserves the day he took office, it would be making it to the pump right about now….but then again, you’d have to understand a little bit about how the oil industry works to get it.
7. I set the all-time record for most people worldwide to simultaneously take to the streets to protest me (15 million people), shattering the record for protest against any person in the history of mankind. It’s good to be the king.
8. I dissolved more international treaties than any president in US history. Thank you. And would the jackasses who kept us in those outdated, irrelevant treaties please stand up.
9. I’ve made my presidency the most secretive and unaccountable of any in US history. How do you know? I mean, wouldn’t the most secret and unaccountable presidency, still be a secret….and unaccountable?
10. I am the first president in US history to have all 50 states of the Union simultaneously go bankrupt. Again, the Wall Street Journal must be sleeping on the job to miss this one.
11. I presided over the biggest corporate stock market fraud in any market in any country in the history of the world. No, that would be Bill Clinton. On two counts. The Enron and World Com debacles were at fever pitch under Clinton….and do you recall under which administration Ken Lay and all his ilk were exposed and prosecuted?…..
12. I am the first president in US history to order a US attack and military occupation of a sovereign nation, and I did so against the will of the United Nations and the world community. Okay take Economics first period, Civics second period and American History third period. We’ll leave the schedule open after lunch.
13. I rendered the entire United Nations irrelevant. The United Nations rendered itself irrelevant by failing to do what it said it would and then actively try to thwart enforcement of it’s own directives. By the way, you should also do some reading on the Oil For Food scandal that receives virtually no media attention in this country. The reason the U.N. fought against invading Iraq is because so many U.N. officials and world leaders were making so much money off Sadam being in power, to lose it would be unthinkable.
At this point I’m just tired. If there were at least some factual basis to the remaining claims made by this crazed Bush hater I might enjoy the debate, but when an argument is based on lies, ignorance and willful distortion…there is no debate. In fact, there is nothing worthy of debate, a point I prove with a final challenge.
Our visitor wrote; In a little over two years I have created the most divided country in decades, possibly the most divided that the US has been since the civil war. This is from the same write who called Bush a liar, a crook, a drunk, a deserter, a murderer and a moron. Who’s dividing the country?

Well, fryguy. Let me put it to you like this. The notion of being by your “side” in this vainglorious war, makes me feel a bit empty.
I find the thought of it discouraging, to say the least. Who are the others? The boogie man, Chucky, Ralph malph, and the blob?
Get ahold of yourself, man.
January 26th, 2007 at 4:07 pmGood Post’s Marie and many other’s…..I agree with wanting some one in office with more working brain cell’s than all the one’s in now…..Deplomacy and caring about our country and the world are a must…Never mind voting for a dolt ” one you want to have a beer with”, look what that got us….Kind of unbelievable to me the extreme fundamentalist’s fell for all this crap, if they are as they claim, christian’s…
Gore was and is a good choice, he would get my vote again above Hillery, if he runs…..Those of the critical reich will blast any and all with their delusional blather, no matter…..I’m busy with Impeacheness….Blessings
