Yes, in fact, I did invite his whole bleeping family to stay on the riviera of Iraq for the trip of a lifetime (which would likely not be long), without pesky secret service guards squandering tax dollars on BIG gov't.

T'was a very difficult letter to write. Not for lack of words mind you, but for avoidance of being justifiably detained in guantanomo bay for my 'free speech protection' coutesy of Dept of Homeland terrorism.

His secretary was swift in her reply, thanking me for my contribution to democracy with a laser jet form letter.

Ironic there have been grounds for impeachment on much flimsier evidence/issues. Had this man been practicing politics or business locally, his fate would be a jail cell. I did express my sentiments to him directly at the white house, and I'm certain he'll never dare to knock on my door. I told him he should be forced to live in exile in Iraq.

As dumb as he's been portrayed, this couldn't be accomplished by the finest of charlatans throughout world history. How'd that work out for you, America?
This was one of the best single sentence summations of the Bush dynasty that I have heard so far. Bravo!

"Continuing the process of hamstringing middle class to favor obscene wealth, nullifying enforcement arm of regulatory agencies in favor of business, encouraging a climate of economic hemmorage through profiteering in oil/middle eastern industrial military complex and getting by with an illegal war based on premeditated lies/manipulation. "

I would add... successfully aiding and abetting the 9-11 attacks, but oh my, what flak I get for that!

Actually the sub prime lending started around 1998, under Clinton.. Subprime Lending Hurts Homeowners using the argument that even poor people who cant qualify for a mortgage should get one. Great.. you should know by now that Bush is responsible for the worlds problems...

Tell me what exactly Bush did to cause the increase in sub-prime loans to be issued?

You get "flak" for lack of proof.

Well, there's plenty of proof that the 'official' story is very flawed. Few of the so-called 'educated' class in this country want to even bother to investigate how 3 steel framed towers can fall at free fall speed, due to fire, with one not even hit by a plane, when not one steel framed skyscraper in history has ever collapsed, never mind at free fall speed, in the history of the world. A lot of the so-called 'educated' class in this country seem to really want to suspend the laws of physics in order to placate themselves that the government would never do such a thing.

gorgeet the educated class in this country who did give their input were surpressed. Departure of CIA/FBI disgusted by the whole thing should be enough evidence. Same with experts in WMD insisting their point to deaf ears. Beligerance is the hallmark of leadership? Works for fox news.
You cannot educate or reason with the unwilling, so New Yorkers discovered post 911 trying to send their wishes to washington DC. NY knew they couldn't afford the dubious agendas afoot, and said so resoundingly with their vote (across the ENTIRE political spectrum).
I surely wish there were an ignore feature for city data. I'd swear these people aren't capable of conversing- too busy grandstanding on soapboxes, incapable of considering anything they haven't been fed already. Maybe they've tilted their brains, no room left at the inn. I think the founders of our country would be ashamed of this perverse parade.

I'm sorry, whats does a steel tower falling have to do with Bush's accomplishments again?
