A question that may lead to introspection regarding Bush
If a Democrat agreed with you on every issue and you really believed they were sincere about it and you liked the personality they presented BUT:

they were AWOL from the National Guard during a time of war,

had shady business practices not once but in every business they ran,

came from a family of criminals,

were an addict who wasn't in a treatment program

lied about a DUI

stole land to build a baseball stadium

and was completley disengaged from the process of running the country

would you vote for them?

Ya know, spelling it all out like that makes it pretty obvious doesn't it? The man could be for unvirsal health care, free abortions on demand, waging peace all over the world, be IN a gay marriage and give his entire salary to Habitat for the Humanities and he still wouldn't be fit for office.

Please, no matter who you are supporting for the Dem nomination...when it comes to November help get rid of this ninny.

Its the least we can do for the rest of the world.

1. You are absolutely right
I've known con men in my life, and they can be personally very charming, but that doesn't mean that you trust them, especially in high office.

4. Im not sure he is a sociopath
.....Antisocial Personality Disorder is also known as psychopathy or
sociopathy. Individuals with this disorder have little regard for the
feeling and welfare of others. As a clinical diagnosis it is usually
limited to those over age 18. It can be diagnosed in younger people
if the they commit isolated antisocial acts and do not show signs of
another mental disorder.

Antisocial Personality Disorder is chronic, beginning in adolescence
and continuing throughout adulthood. There are ten general
symptoms:

not learning from experience
no sense of responsibility
inability to form meaningful relationships
inability to control impulses
lack of moral sense
chronically antisocial behavior
no change in behavior after punishment
emotional immaturity
lack of guilt
self-centeredness

People with this disorder may exhibit criminal behavior. They may
not work. If they do work, they are frequently absent or may quit
suddenly. They do not consider other people's wishes, welfare or
rights. They can be manipulative and may lie to gain personal
pleasure or profit. They may default on loans, fail to provide child
support, or fail to care for their dependents adequately. High risk
sexual behavior and substance abuse are common. Impulsiveness,
failure to plan ahead, aggressiveness, irritability, irresponsibility,
and a reckless disregard for their own safety and the safety of
others are traits of the antisocial personality.

.....


Because I don't know of any high risk sexual behavior.

But he IS a lying scumbag and a coward. Not to be disrespectful of scumbags and cowards.
