Bush and his "strong feelings"...

....Has anyone else noticed that whenever Bush is giving a persuasive talk, he always makes constent reference to things that he "feels strongly".

Then he'll repeat several times how he believes in something very strongly.

You know what? Hitler felt very strongly about things too. What do "strong feelings" have to do with anything except to appeal to people's emotions?

Dispicable.

1. It's the old "trust me" bullshit. He's the last man I trust.

2. he's been doped up on Ambien, remember?
Bush is on drugs everyday. It explains a lot of their behavior honestly.

8. "On Ambien"? Not to defend Bush*, but Ambien is a sleep aid.

3. or "deeply troubling," is another of his emotional repeats.
He has the depth of a house plant. I find Bush grossly obscene to humanity.

5. How about his classic: "there must be a consequence".
Of course, that applies to everyone else, not him.

10. Oh yeah...and another...


"When America says something, it means it!"

Or it might be when the President says something, it means something...
or something.

Totally idiotic.

4. His target audience experiences life this way
They don't reflect or analyse or use reason, they have "strong feelings." This is why many Bush supporters are practically insolvent, poorly paid, hard working people without health insurance. They have strong feelings rather than thoughts. These feelings come from television and radio.

6. Those feelings also come from
Rush and his evil helpers.

11. I think this is on target...

...People who don't like to think about complicated things and get confused find it easier to resort to their feelings.

7. I wonder if this is a coded reference
to "Gawd told me to do it"

justifying his politics with his "religion"

9. Or maybe the other Guy told him to do it. Bush is too stupid
to be able to tell them apart.

Personally, I don't believe Bush acts because he thinks Gawd is talking to him. All his actions are scripted by others. He's following orders.
