‘The Decider’ boasts again.

‘The Decider’ boasts again.

During the course of an hour-long speech today, President Bush used the word “decisions” — or a derivative of it — at least 30 times. At the outset of his speech, “the decider” (aka “the decision-maker” and “commander guy“) declared:

My job is a decision-making job. And as a result, I make a lot of decisions. And it’s important for me to have an opportunity to speak to you and others who would be listening about the basis on which I have made decisions, to explain the philosophy behind some of the decisions I have made.

Watch it:

[flv http://video.thinkprogress.org/2007/10/bushdecider.320.240.flv]

The AP writes he elaborated more on that point later in his rambling speech:

”I delegate to good people. I always tell Condi Rice, ‘I want to remind you, Madam Secretary, who has the Ph.D. and who was the C student. And I want to remind you who the adviser is and who the president is.’

”I got a lot of Ph.D.-types and smart people around me who come into the Oval Office and say, ‘Mr. President, here’s what’s on my mind.’ And I listen carefully to their advice. But having gathered the device (sic), I decide, you know, I say, ‘This is what we’re going to do.’ And it’s ‘Yes, sir, Mr. President.’ And then we get after it, implement policy.”

    I think Bush is feeling less the decider guy, and more the lame duck he is. Must be tough to go from the most popular president of all time, to the village idiot.


  3. Candyce says:

    Please make it stop. Please.


  4. Wayne A. Schneider says:

    Is that what he thinks is happening? How cute.

    *****What a pile of BS.The guy has a one track mind.


  6. electricphoto says:

    To bad he is impotent when it comes to matters of truth… I suspect he practices his speeches in front of one of those fairy tale mirrors that say “oh George, you are the most important decider in the kingdom”.


  7. Leftside Annie says:

    Pass the barf bag. I’m gonna hurl.


  8. Veritas says:

    What he fails to tell the audience is how many decisions of his have been wise ones. That number would be around zero.

    Anyone can make decisions – we do it all day long. The fact is he has botched major decisions which have resulted in the denigration of this country.

    If I were him, I’d hardly boast about what a decision maker I am when the facts stack up to prove that he’s far from having the ability to make wise, good, or even prudent decisions during his entire term of office.


  9. Veritas says:

    This is ‘BUSH BRAINWASHING 101′ – COMING TO YOUR NEAREST TOWN SOON! (Pass me a barf bag, too, please).


  10. Leftside Annie says:

    Rory, dearest, it’s not that we don’t understand that he makes decisions. Please, that’s just stupid.

    On the contrary, sweetbuns, it’s just that we think that his decisions run the gamut from incredibly stupid to absolutely heartless.

    Get the diff, sweetie?


  11. Veritas says:

    His buddies on his side of the aisle must either be laughing their hineys off or running as far away from this toxic gent as possible if they are running for re-election. This is comic relief at it’s finest.


  12. Veritas says:

    Bush is becoming totally toxic both to this country in general (how do his handlers and shrinks permit him to be out there displaying his profound delusion?). Get this guy some meds quick! And what’s really scary is that he does it with a smile on his face.

    Guess that’s the sign of a true psychopath. He doesn’t know that he doesn’t know. He also doesn’t know that the world is laughing at him. Sad.


  13. republicans are the Fear and Smear Party says:

    We know he’s stupid and now he feels the need to tell us why.


  14. Leftside Annie says:

    Rory, sweetheart…*has* he “taken out the Taliban”…?

    I think NOT.

    Try again.


  15. Veritas says:

    This proves that Bush is “unconsciously incompetent” which is about the lowest mental function possible.


  16. Krazny says:

    I think Bush has made plenty of wise decisions (two of them are sitting on the U.S. Supreme Court).

    Comment by Rory — October 3, 2007 @ 6:36 pm

    You are also a rightwing loon, whose thinking is suspect. What is your point?


  17. republicans are the Fear and Smear Party says:

    Rory, take your meds and try to stay on topic. I know it’s difficult for you but please try. Thank you.


  18. wolfy says:

    Must be how he makes energy policy. Phd’s can be such pencilnecks! (not that I don’t identify with the 2.9 GPA…)

    I suppose it’s all about the money…

  19. Veritas says:

    I see our village moron is sadly attempting to engage anyone and everyone he can on this thread. Talking about human jokes….


  20. tarazan says:

    Ya, he sounds like a guy who listens..!


  21. texaslady says:

    Now that is not what the author Draper said from his interviews with Bush. Bush demands servility from all his aides. He has a volitol temper so either they are afraid to approach him or they use flattery to begin their conversations so he doesn’t get mad.

    Makes me want to work for this guy. In fact Josh Bolton begins the day with “thank you for allowing me to serve at your pleasure” surely this can’t be true.


  22. Leftside Annie says:

    Why, yes, Rory. I call that REALITY.

    Too bad you can’t see it.


  23. Krazny says:

    Bush’s decision to not finish off the taliban, and capture Bin Laden was incredibly stupid.


  24. Veritas says:

    The only point a lowly troll CAN make is the point at the top of their head. Clearly, they have nothing on the positive side of their ledger to boast about so hijacking becomes their MO. Ignore the troll and they’ll slime themselves into the nearest corner.


  25. Wayne A. Schneider says:

    You know, the way he describes, I almost get the impression that he is not taking the advice he gets from the “Ph.D.-types and smart people around” him. That’s why his decisions are so incredibly bad. I shouldn’t say that. He did listen to Karl, but that’s just another reason why his decisions were so bad. Here’s hoping the Supreme Court stays healthy as long as this “idiotic decision” maker is in office.


  26. texaslady says:

    As we saw in February if his advisors do not agree with him, he simply fires them. Get a new General what the hell. Now why would we doubt Gen Petraues report? Could be he needs a few more years to get that chunky retirement?


  27. rocks911 says:

    A moron as decider, America has never been in such sad shape, and my generation let this happen.


  28. Lefty Patriot says:

    So, taking out the Taliban was which one: “incredibly stupid” or “absolutely heartless”?

    Comment by Rory — October 3, 2007 @ 6:38 pm

    Incredibly unsuccessful, heartlessly snafued. Osama says hi, by the way.

    rightards are so easily manipulated.


  29. texaslady says:

    Bush admits to a C grade however he made a score of 25 on his exam for a pilot. C could be a stretch.


  30. Krazny says:

    His decisions have often been poorly made. That would be the problem. Now Bush is insisting like a spoiled 4 year old, that he decides. Perhaps President temper tantrum needs a time out.


  31. Leftside Annie says:

    Why, Rory, aren’t you going to tell me about how the Taliban has been completely obliterated in Afghanistan vis-a-vis our Beloved Leader and Decider Guy’s oh-so-wise decisions……..?

    I was soooooo looking forward to that. Damn.


  32. Marie says:

    The boy-king.
    He really is a fourth grader in the Oval office.
    I know plenty of fourth graders who are better than Bush. And they are innocent children!
    He is incredibly stupid, and he is guilty of war crimes, he is guilty of hubris, arrogance, greed, selfishness, and, like the schoolyard bully — he lets everyone know that he is King of the Mountain.
    What an insufferable oaf.


  33. Lefty Patriot says:

    I thought the “topic” was liberal upset about Bush boasting about being the Decider? I was trying to understand exactly what there is to be upset about that.

    Comment by Rory — October 3, 2007 @ 6:43 pm

    Because it’s embarrassing to the whole country to be represented by an idiot. Only another idiot like you could fail to see that.


  34. Veritas says:

    I like where this moron mentions “PhD types” since he hasn’t a clue about what the credential means. How he ever made it through college is a miracle but then, money moves mountains and garners college degrees, too.


  35. Lefty Patriot says:

    Comment by Veritas — October 3, 2007 @ 6:46 pm

    it’s not just money, it’s Rich White Trash affirmative action.


  36. Veritas says:

    Guess his formal college degree was from the same mill that his military record came from?? It’s time to get back to those lies he’s paraded as truth, too. The people have not forgotten about all of that.


  37. Lefty Patriot says:

    At least Saddam and the Taliban aren’t still in charge of Iraq and Afghanistan.

    Comment by Rory — October 3, 2007 @ 6:46 pm

    Nor is Bush. good job.


  38. Veritas says:

    LeftyPat: right-o!


  39. Leftside Annie says:

    Oh, Rory, Rory, Rory….you foolish, foolish boy (or whatever you are)!

    Saddam may be gone, but what we’ve left in Iraq is much worse: Shia death squads busily going about their ethnic cleansing and civil war.

    And Karzai is simply a powerless puppet who is damned lucky nobody has assassinated him yet.

    Dear me. You’re so naive!


  40. Krazny says:

    Comment by Rory — October 3, 2007 @ 6:49 pm

    Bill Clinton will forever be a more popular president then Bush. Sad but true. Sorry Rory, that pig doesn’t fly.


  41. Veritas says:

    The “delegation” part is also pretty interesting. From every member of his cabinet who has either written a book or commented publicly, they are all consistent with one fact: Bush delegates to no one! After all, if you delegate, then you have to listen to what the experts have to say. This egomaniacal ‘decider’ could never do that.

    He fancies himself to be some savvy executive with a board surrounding him of people expert in their fields when the fact is that he sits there totally alone, reading My Pet Goat, and hearing voices which tell him what he needs to do. (Bipolar Disorder with Psychosis?)


  42. Lefty Patriot says:

    Now you know how embarrassing it was for us to be represented by the Pervert-in-Chief.

    Comment by Rory — October 3, 2007 @ 6:49 pm

    Hey, it was your guy that printed all that soft porn. Nobody knew about it until Ken Starr decided that all the nation’s children should know the meaning of blowjob, and, by the way, the embarrassment we felt was because the rest of the world thought that you repigs were ridiculous to even bother with that, like so many repressed little sex police. Not to mention the jealousy raised by the fact that you people even have to pay prostitutes double. I was proud of clinton, and, on top of that, their marriage is still intact. How many of your perverts can say that? The number grows smaller every day.

    You lose.

    Hmmmm, being represented by a man guilty of sexual indiscretion or a retard…. I’ll take the President that oversaw the longest period of economic growth in American history, whereas the village idiot has the dollar where? The dollar is becoming a joke! Nice work W, now go scuffle back under mommy’s skirt.


  45. kelso says:

    Some claim that Bush jr. is actually a somewhat intelligent guy, but if that’s so, why is that he consistently makes himself look and sound like a bona fide retard?

    If it’s just an act, then he deserves an Oscar.

    So now you’re a professional historian? Because historians completely disagree with you, child. The hard decisions require competence, otherwise you pull a RayGun, and support terrorists in central america, train and fund Taliban/Al Qaeda in Afghanistan, and sell arms to Iran – all Ronnie accomplishments…


  55. StratRat says:

    At least Saddam and the Taliban aren’t still in charge of Iraq and Afghanistan.

    Comment by Rory

    Two things before I split:

    1) Saddam was a balancing force to irans influence and ambitions. Now that he is gone, the whole ME is in flames.

    2) Taliban IS in charge of many parts of Afghanistan and is making Murshariff run scared in pakistan. Pakistan is in real trouble.

    My God, don’t you even bother to review the days events (not of faux news) at all? You are an embarassment to thoughtful poeple everywhere. I don’t mean to be dis-respectful, but you have to do a better job of learning about current events before you write things the whole planet might read. Its ok to be simple with your own friends, but do not display your lack of understanding to us here at TP. Please try and learn.

    Well, if he decides to do that instead of this stoopid and sanguinary occupation of Iraq, perhaps some good might come of it. Time will tell. But I suspect he won’t even try.

    And the reality is, Bush doesn’t gather any advice that he doesn’t already want to hear – much like you, little girl.


  61. Lefty Patriot says:

    That’s not the embarrassment we Republicans felt about Clinton boinking an innocent intern in the Oval Office. Like I said YMMV.

    Comment by Rory — October 3, 2007 @ 6:55 pm

    No, it was envy. And no boinking was done, by the way, and the “innocent” intern admitted that Clinton was her target. You rightards are allergic to facts, aren’t you? Reagan brought down the Soviet Union, that’s a funny one. Speaking of blowjobs, his wife was famous for them throughout Hollywood.


  62. Ryan Neat says:

    I disagree with you, rocks911 (so does Margaret Thatcher).
    Comment by Rory — October 3, 2007 @ 7:01 pm

    That’s because she took co-credit, also discredited by History.

    Politicians often claim victories that aren’t their own, much like trolls.

    Reagan had Alzheimer’s symptoms before his 2nd term.

    Do you libs not think that the President of the United States makes decisions? I don’t understand the complaint. Comment by Rory

    You mean Rove isnt Bush’s Brain as so mnay conservatives proudly proclaimed?


  65. Ryan Neat says:

    Sorry Rory, but you expertise about RayGun, are as out of place and inaccurate as your smear of Murtha, or defense of the indefensible Rush.

    Some claim that United States President Ronald Reagan’s escalation of the arms race between the superpowers caused the USSR to bankrupt itself and collapse. In reality, massive Soviet military spending during the 1970s had caused the USSR’s economic problems. George F. Kennan, former US ambassador to the Soviet Union and father of the theory of containment of the same country, asserts that the suggestion that any United States administration had the power to influence decisively the course of a tremendous domestic political upheaval in another great country on another side of the globe is simply childish. He contends that the extreme militarization of American policy strengthened hard-liners in the Soviet Union. Thus the general effect of Cold War extremism was to delay rather than hasten the great change that overtook the Soviet Union.

    I agree with the esteemed expert, Rory, you’re a child.


  66. Lefty Patriot says:

    The official White House transcript reads: “But having gathered the advice…”

    Comment by Rory — October 3, 2007 @ 7:00 pm

    And we all know, having read the news, unlike you, that the White House routinely doctors Herr Bush’s grammatical idiocies, fact-free lies and foolish boasts. It’s been going on for many years, now.


  67. Leporello says:

    After reading the ‘high points’ of this speech I’ve come to the following conclusion. Every Democratic member of Congress must be locked in a room with a loop of this speech repeating endlessly for 24 hours. They will then come out and, after recovering from beating themselves senseless, will tirelessly work to Impeach Bush! Not, as I endlessly refrain, to Save the Constitution, but to Salvage Something of our Self Respect as a Nation! Then they’ll Impeach Cheney to Save the Constitution. Finally, they’ll resign en masse out of shame that they’ve been such unmitigated doormats and allowed this to go on!
    They did one hell of a job picking the audience for this shindig! Any person with the IQ of a hamster should have been horrified just considering what they were hearing! And the “Liberal Leftist Media” will Never, in 10000 years, touch this story, guaranteed. January 2009, Hurry and Arrive!


  68. Saint Augustine says:

    How pathetic that the great decider gets to talk to the Lancaster Chamber of Commerce. I suggest he try visiting a fewToastmasters groups, he might at least improve his speaking skills.


  69. rocks911 says:

    Margaret Thatcher was/is a punk. All she did was break unions and ship jobs overseas like her retarded American counterpart. Remember the dramatic rise in the homeless under Rayguns administration? Punks both of them.

    The Soviet Union spent a lot of resources in a futile invasion of Afghanistan, remember? Killing the local civilians, lots of soldiers dying, billions wasted in a useless war… Sounds familiar?

    Oh, and the US trained Osama bin Forgotten in terrorist tactics, in order to attack the Soviet soldiers, too.

    Comment by Rory — October 3, 2007 @ 7:10 pm

    I already gave you the evaluation of historians, what politicians claim is as flawed and irrational as what you post. The facts show you are wrong.

    The Pope is your source of ‘history’? Hehe, the same guy that denied there was widespread pedestry in the priesthood?

    Nope, but they still control large swaths of the country.

    How do you think I can know enough to post if I don’t even bother to review the days events (I don’t watch Fox News either)? We disagree about the definition of “embarassment” too. No skin off my nose. Comment by Rory — October 3, 2007 @ 7:10 pm

    Well, considering you have no shame, no one ever expects you to be embarrassed by your ridiculous posts! That would require decorum, social skills and an intellect that was beyond that of a 3rd grader!

    Nope. The books were just a little more advanced in graduate school. What’s your highest degree?
    Comment by Rory — October 3, 2007 @ 7:14 pm

    Rory type phuck heads are phucking the world into the ground using their massively concentrated ignorance!!!


  87. Wayne says:

    Zbigniew Brzezinski, National Security Advisor to Jimmy Carter, predicted the collapse of the Soviet Union way before Reagan ever got into office. In fact the first time was his Masters Thesis in 1950.

    Basically, the Soviet Union collapsed under the weight of it’s own government and the cost of the Cold War/Nuke race.

    Reagan actually delayed it with his warmongering stance, that the Soviets felt was a threat.

    Read some history, rory


  88. texaslady says:

    They can find the truth, they just refuse to pull their heads out of their nether regions long enough to do so. It’s willful delusion.

    It’s a case of mass delusion, brought on by fear and a repressive childhood that forces them to seek out overbearing ‘parental’ figures to compensate for their low self esteem. Just dig under Rory’s bed, and you’ll find the demons of an abusive childhood glaring back at you.

    Jake… I mean, Rory, can’t find the difference between “no boinking” and “not touching”. Typical black-or-white, us-or-them mentality.

  94. StratRat says:

    My original point was that the Taliban is not in charge of a rouge state anymore (c.f. pre-9/11 blowing up those Budda statues). How do you think I can know enough to post if I don’t even bother to review the days events (I don’t watch Fox News either)? We disagree about the definition of “embarassment” too. No skin off my nose.

    Comment by Rory

    I certainly agree that we can disagree, but what you write does show where you are coming from (philosophy, not location). The comment you wrote seemed to be not that well thought out IMHO.

    Saddam was a bad guy, but he was helpful in keeping Iran’s ambitions in check, to a degree. Now it’s a free for all.

    The Taliban are bad guys, but they are not diminished in their ability to topple a government (Pakistan). That makes me more frightened about the whole area. Pakistan has nukes and Mushariff doesn’t seem to be in complete control over there. So I disagree the Taliban doesn’t control a rogue state – I believe they pull lots of levers within the Pakistani government. Now it’s starting to look like a free for all.

    BTW, I am glad you don’t watch Fox News. And I do try and be respectful in my comments back and forth. The way you commented on this subject caused me to wonder about whether or not you do check the facts on current events.

    You actually want to play the intellectual game with liberals – oh, now that’s funny! The fake, undereducated, poorly informed fake GOP hack, pretending to out-degree and out-intellect liberals! That’s almost too painful to watch little girl!

  103. Juan C. says:

    StratRat, I agree with your comment and I think you use the term “bad guy” for brevity; however, may I suggest that this “bad guys” and good guys” is somehow the way the US was brought up to this point, where we have a Pres of the greatest superpower in the world, saying there is an AXIS OF EVIL, and every conflict is oversimplified by the use of good guys and bad guys.

    Saddam was a terrible dictator supported by CIA in order to destabilize the region, which we all know it is the real job of CIA: destabilize countries.

    However, Saddam put Iraq above all Arab countries in terms of education and health services, even winning an UNICEF recognition.

    No, you only think you’ve won the argument, because your lack of education hasn’t prepared you to understand the difference between truth and propaganda.

    Comment by Lefty Patriot — October 3, 2007 @ 7:39 pm

    Rory is trying to infer that TP doctored a transcript. I am just trying to find out which official transcript he is using to make that inference.


  131. pbg says:

    1)The man who brought down the Soviet Union was named Mikhail Gorbachev. The Soviet Union’s economy had been failing for decades–arguably since Lenin. To hear the Right talk about it, the Soviets were going great guns until Ronnie decided to up defense spending, and suddenly the economy collapsed. Not even conservative historians believe that. Mikhail Gorbachev was the first Secretary who wasn’t part of Stalin’s old crowd. (Remember Chernenko? An eighty-year old guy who might not have moved under his own power for his entire reign?)
    Mikhail Gorbachev saw the rot, and, to his immense credit, enabled the old system to collapse without a civil war and mass destruction. Reagan didn’t force the collapse–the Soviet Union was always able to build their military, even while starving–the lesson of the Great Patriotic War. Neither was he the first to encourage Gorbachev–he was pushed into it by Thatcher, quite publicly.
    2)The mere fact that you use the metaphor ‘take out’ is exactly the problem with the Taliban. Driving Afghans out of cities and back up into the hills is not ‘taking them out.’ The Russians can tell you that. The British can tell you that. And what should have been the prime purpose of the foray into Afghanistan–getting Osama–was done largely with totally untrustworthy Afghan warlords and a drizzle of American troops.But George decided that it was more important to conquer a country than to catch a mass-murdering terrorist.
    3) Can you really support a President who supported the Dubai Ports deal and nominated Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court? Those were not right wing decisions, they were abysmally stupid ones.


  132. Keith says:

    The reason W says decider or decisions so much is because the process is very problematic for him. Just like the way he is always telling us how clear he is making himself and how much he understands something. It is all psychological.


  133. impeachcheneythenbush says:

    Comment by Candyce — October 3, 2007 @ 7:41 pm

    Ah, you don’t think she actually read a real transcript do you? ;)

    Rory is the type that just picked up a talking point from her favorite wingnut propaganda site, and just copied and pasted it. She isn’t smart enough, effective enough or competent enough to actually do her own homework! She was on all of the Rush threads whining about not seeing the ‘real’ transcripts, a completely easy thing to find… Poor little lost girl, what a sad example of why good parenting is so critical to the development of a well socialized and intellectually competent person!


  135. VerbalKint says:

    These are the ramblings of a genuinely stupid person. Bush does not have a clue about the process of arriving at a sound decision. He is woefully lacking in critical thinking skills. Left on his own without speechwriters, coaches, and handlers, he simply cannot form a cogent explanation for his gut-level, uninformed, and often reactionary decisions. Even if this failed human had an ethical backbone he wouldn’t be remotely qualified to serve as President. What a profound embarrassment to his office and this country.


  136. mongo says:

    Rory: “So, taking out the Taliban was which one: “incredibly stupid” or “absolutely heartless”?”

    How about “unfinished”.

    In case you haven’t been keeping up on current events, the taliban are still around, assassinating people in afghanistan, and declaring defiantly that they’ll never give up.

    So that does not equate with “taking out”.


  137. Keith says:

    Yet another comment showing that Jake doesn’t have a clue what is going on. No one disputes that Bush makes decisions, you nitwit! What a non-sequitur! It is about HOW he makes decisions, and how that process results in consistently BAD decisions.

    You are quite right. And he didn’t hold a gun to her head. She was a consenting adult and so was he. Sorry that’s over your head, but then the truth usually is.

    This is a never ending source of amusement to me that the Right Wing Loons get their panties in a wad about consensual sex between two adults and yet they see nothing wrong with the mass murder of hundreds of thousand innocent Iraqi’s. Priorities, theirs are certainly fu*ked up.

    The Bible is kinda strange that way.

    What does the Bible say about murder, now that Bush’s invasion has killed as many Iraqi civilians as Saddam did?

    Human Rights Watch reports that Saddam killed 100,000 Kurdish Iraqis (another 500,000 are estimated to have died in Saddam’s needless war with Iran i.e., non-civilian deaths attributable to needless war). Bush’s invasion of Iraq has caused, by conservative estimates, 100,000 civilian deaths.

    So Bush, who claimed the invasion was necessary to prevent Saddam from killing his own citizens, has now killed at least as many civilians as Saddam did.

    All for the sake of poor George’s personal Oedipal neurosis. What a tragedy.

    And, according to your Wiki link, she didn’t start the affair with Clinton until November of that year. Do you think that being 22 years old somehow disqualifies her from making choices about who she has sex with?

    I know extremely well we don’t stone people for adultry. I told you that the Bible says women who have sex outside of marriage should be stoned to death—-because you said we should follow the Bible.

    I asked what you thought about Eisenhower having sex with his chauffeur, Nancy and Ron having sex before their marriage (Patty born six months later and not premature), and GHWB’s long-time affair with Jennifer.

    Clinton did not have sex with that woman given the prosecutors’ definition of sex which did not include a hummer.

    Yes Bush did something right even if he can’t speak English. The Iran President had low polls in his country for this up coming Iran election. Then Bush and other Jewish Leaders had an idea to embarrass
    and set up the Iran President when he visited the UN.
    Well the set up was all over the media and around the world as the United States showed total disrespect for
    a visiting leader. But God stepped in and now thanks
    to the set up the Iran President is a hero around the
    world. He is seen as a great leader who stood up to
    the true Axis of Evil and showed class.
    Now I hope Bush doesn’t go to Iran to speak they really would know just how dumb he really is. He said he knows alot of smart people even if he’s as dumb as a door knob. Maybe he can ask Bill Clinton to go in his place at lease the US would be represented by and educated respectful leader. He can’t send Clarence Thomas because he’s still crying about seeing dead people and Gonzales is busy looking for a job.

Further, a just war can only be fought with “right” intentions: the only permissible objective of a just war is to redress the injury.”

    The Just war doctrine is a theory, Rory, some 340 years AD.

    The strict conditions for legitimate defense by military force require rigorous consideration. The gravity of such a decision makes it subject to rigorous conditions of moral legitimacy. At one and the same time:

    * the damage inflicted by the aggressor on the nation or community of nations must be lasting, grave, and certain;
    [Iraq did not attack the united states]
    * all other means of putting an end to it must have been shown to be impractical or ineffective;
    [No Sanctions have come against Saudi for the extremists]
    * there must be serious prospects of success;
    [Bush has no exit plan whatsoever]
    * the use of arms must not produce evils and disorders graver than the evil to be eliminated. The power of modern means of destruction weighs very heavily in evaluating this condition.
    [We are creating more terrorists. More Iraqis have been killed than in a hundred 9/11s]

    All that crying and scourging is a real turn-off.

    Why do you think they were asking Clinton questions about Lewinsky in a deposition that had nothing to do with Lewinsky or BJs?


  263. Candyce says:

    adultery by the President which led to purjury and obstruction of justice was indeed worse than the butchering of one million innocent civilians, costing $2 Trillion

    That’s the most obscene thing I’ve ever seen typed on these pages.

    I also stated that we no longer stone (just impeach) conservatives or liberals who have sex outside of marriage.

    Yeah, that’s her. She was posting under Ms. Neo-Con but if I remember correctly, she was signing off with something that started with a P at first. Then went to Ms. Neo-Con. Anyhoo, she’s still a very misguided Neo-COn.

    I’m not a lawyer. Maybe that’s why I never really understood why it mattered to Clinton defenders so much whether Monica was an unpaid intern or a paid employee (like Jones had been). If Clinton had been sexually harrassing Monica, that indeed would seem “relevant” to the case at hand (no pun intended). Of course, I’m not a lawyer.

    Of course you’re not. Then what is this?

    Only “lawyers” use language like that. Normal people don’t.

    “recognized at common law and in every state criminal code as well.”

    That’s in no way connected to standard English. Nice try, though.


  282. gummitch says:

    BTW, gummitch, even assuming Frohnmayer wins, he will be one of two Independents in the U.S. Senate. You really think he’s going to deliver on that campaign promise to impeach Bush? That simply leaves Cheney as the REAL President. Honestly, are you guys going to try to impeach, and conduct a trial, in January of 2009?

    Comment by Rory — October 3, 2007 @ 9:32 pm

    You’ve been a busy little “mom”, haven’t you?

    And, somehow, you’ve dismissed the entire year of 2008.

    Hey, face it, you’re busted. Why not slink off and pretend none of this happened?

    You assume a lot. Maybe that’s why you keep confusing an affair with an obstruction of justice charge? You know, like how Bush obstructed justice on the 9/11 commission and Iraq Invasion investigations?

    I am also not going to “slink off and pretend none of this happened” either.
    Comment by Rory — October 3, 2007 @ 9:40 pm

    None of what happened? Bush lied in order to invade a nearly helpess country, while hanging out with gay hookers in the whitehouse?

    People who are overly concerned about other’s possible lies, are usually liars.


  299. Keith says:

    You lied when you said Clinton was guilty of perjury and obstruction of justice because Republicans in the Senate and Republican Judge Susan Weber Wright said he was not—plus she said it was immaterial to the Paula Jones case—which was dropped with no admission of guilt. I’d pay that thing a large amount to leave me alone, too.


  300. Keith says:

    Comment by Zooey — October 3, 2007 @ 10:07 pm

    It was about two months ago when someone here put up her myspace link. But there was disagreement over whether she was actually MA and VV. Since you are usually the expert on everyone, I thought I’d ask you.

And when somebody builds a new building somebody has got to come and build the building. And when the building expanded it prevented [sic] additional opportunities for people to work.

    CaptainMantastic: Is what he saying not true.

  321. newpantaloons says:

    Rory (he/she/it), Captain Mantastic (?), Godfather 2: People, these are all PAID trolls, though how the Repubics think this changes the minds of thinking people is beyond me. They all come from Liberty University or Pat Robertson U, both “phoney” colleges and then are recruited to come onto these websites and after taking a “loyalty pledge” to George Bush, they begin to spout Republic talking points or the ‘bible’, that are mostly meaningless. I mean, can’t they come up with intelligent arguments about something else than Bill Clinton, a president that actually governed?? And, about that so-called “just war” being “right” and the killing of thousands (Some say a million or more) being OK, well, I just don’t really know how to respond to a statement like that! It is obscene in the worst possible meaning of the word. Is this what they teach in bible college? This is somehow different than what they teach in maddrasses in the ME? That is the statement and the mindset of a “terrorist”.
    And, oh by the way, Captain Mantastic (really?), about those two elections that our dear leader ‘won’, well most thinking people would say he ’stole’ them. I guess that makes you Republics the “sore losers”.


  322. nanlichi says:

    Well of course he’s the decider. And in his stumbling drunk path to where he’s at he has made a lot of decisions.

    Deciding to let Daddy use his influence to keep the sot out of Vietnam.
    Deciding that even showing up for duty was not as important as that eight ball.
    Decisions that drove his oil company belly up.
    Deciding to invade Iraq for Jesus.
    Deciding to spend money killing Iraqi kids instead of saving American kids.
    Deciding that one more BJ for Jeffy Lube Gannon would be ok.

    Maybe he could make one more decision and decide to take the Adolph exit?

    At least he would have made that one decision that we could all agree was the right one.

    F*ck Bush.


  323. JoeTX says:

    but, sinse (sic) Bush isn’t running in ‘08, wouldn’t it make a whole lot more sense turning the spotlight on republican candidates that will be on the ballot?

    Comment by CaptainMantastic

    Since Clinton hasn’t been in Office for SEVEN YEARS, wouldn’t it make since to find a more RECENT excuse for all the problems Republicans have caused????

    Most of your arguments are morally and logically bankrupt. At some point, you really have to move on from the “Clinton did it too” argument. Last time I used that type of argument was in GRADE SCHOOL!

    When somebody has to stress to you how many decisions they make, you have to wonder if they are over compensating for the lack of decisions they actually make. Since all the info has come out on how much control Cheney has, its no wonder that George is feeling powerless, and no more than a puppet on a string…


  324. Keith says:

    Rory,
    You did not quote Judge Wright saying Clinton was guilty of perjury and obstruction of justice—-because she specifically said he was not. She also said that all his testimony about Monica was immaterial to the Jones case and therefore could not possibly be perjury nor obstruction of justice, either way!

    Does it really make sense that Clinton was guilty of perjury and obstruction of justice and yet Republicans in the Senate voted that he was NOT?

    Just because you hear something repeated many times, doesn’t make it true.

    You still have not said what should be done with the many millions of conservatives who have sex outside of marriage. You said we must follow the Bible and the Bible says the women (not men) MUST be stoned to death.


  325. pintosahab says:

  326. pintosahab says:

    And oh, to all you right wing nut jobs who were only all too happy to jump on the burn-Clinton-at-the-stake joy ride….no one died when he lied about Monica. Just a reminder.


  327. Keith says:

    ….when he lied about Monica….
    Comment by pintosahab — October 5, 2007 @ 10:18 am

    He did not lie. He used the prosecutors’ definition of “sexual relations”—which did not include what they did. That’s why he apologized for misleading.

    But you’re right—when Rory and others think this is worse than killing needlessly over a million innocent people, they are really loudly proclaiming their own sexual hangups.
