the utter f***ing GALL of that ASSHOLE BUSH

[Skittles]

he had THIS to say about the passage of that piece of SHIT bankruptcy bill: “If someone does not pay his or her debts the rest of society ends up paying them.”

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA unfreaking believable coming from an incompetent MORON who is running up the greatest defecits in America's history. WHO THE F*** DOES HE THINK WILL PAY *HIS* DEBTS??????

*puke*

[jean]

1. he firmly grasps the cause and effect - society has paid his debts, always

[efhmc]

2. Double speak and hypocrisy thy name is bush.

[Wapsie B]

3. It's just slash and burn politics as usual.

When the tab comes to pay his debts he'll be long gone.
Remember up is down and black is white.

[laylah]

21. Just like his

brother, Neil, and the S&L debacle! We are STILL paying for that Bush rip-off! :mad:

Jenn

[Hissyspit]

4. He's never had to pay his debts his whole life. He has always been

bailed out. Absolute hypocrisy on his part. Worthless human being.

[NAO]

5. You think he was referring to his brother Neal and the S&L bailout

the taxpayers took a huge bath on that one. Talk about not paying your debts.

Or maybe he was referring to one of the bailouts of industry or some kind of government handouts (aka industry subsidies) or some such thing that those shiftless corporate wealthfare cheats are always resorting to when they drive their companies into the ground.

[Skittles]

8. OMG NAO

I REMEMBER IT WELL. The f***ing GALL of conservatives just KILLS me - it is just UNBELIEVABLE.

[NAO]

11. So why don't the Democrats, or at least some progressive PACs point this

out - loudly, publicly?

If they want to be an opposition party; if they want to effect damage control, they need to be aggressive.

Conservatives don't worry much about ticking off voters and it seems to work pretty well for them.

Also, this would tie into the "Bush and his corporate cronies are waging class warfare against us" theme that I believe should be the battle cry of the Democrats if they want to win back the majority of Americans who have to work for a living.

6. Eeeyep

He's mocking us. Every minute. Every thing he says...

I'm a big fan of googling "bush silverado" and "bush failed businesses". Try it if you haven't. Watch the profit rise from the ashes of taxpayer bailouts.

[Karma]

7. US ! (in the U.S !)

[Gelliebeans]

9. that is exactly what I

thought when I read that. The utter hypocrisy. He has some nerve to make that statement in the middle of this huge debt he and his cronies have created.

[RobertSeattle]

10. Bubble Boy Bush

Out of touch

[uppityperson]

12. See? He's not stupid and tells the truth. What an asshole(Gwb)

told you so. He tells the truth and it gets pushed off as a bushism or misinterpreted or doublespeaked. I hate him.

[opihimoimoi]

13. Shit Happens......its name is Bush

[Benno]

14. He also had this to say

About General Motors recent announcement of a first quarter net loss of $1.10 billion with a subsequent fall of their stock value:

"going to have to learn to compete."
"In other words, if the consumer starts saying 'we want a different kind of automobile,' they're going to compete once again with, say, the Japanese automobile manufacturers to ... keep their lion's share of market demand,"

Thanks for the wisdom George...

[jayctravis]

19. What would he say about

consumers saying "we want a different kind of President"?

[ClassWarrior]

15. Yeah, just keep nibblin' at that bait on the end of Karl Rove's line...

...cuz it tastes soooooo good to call the guy a moron. Then, suddenly - YANK!!!

When are people going to learn that Bush** is NOT A MORON. HE PLAYS ONE ON TV. Don't keep lowering expectations for this criminal!! Joe Sixpack LIKES him because he's a "moron." If Joe Sixpack REALLY knew that he was being sold down the river by this master criminal, he'd have a different opinion of the situation entirely!!

Read Sun Tsu.

NGU.

[Skittles]

17. I LIVE IN TEXAS, HAVE PUT UP WITH THAT DIPSHIT FOR 10 YEARS

I HAVE EARNED THE RIGHT TO CALL HIM A F***ING MORON

[ClassWarrior]

27. You have the right to drive a spike through your own skull too.

Whether or not it's a smart idea is a whole different debate.

NGU.

[Skittles]

33. that man is as dumb as a bag of hammers

he is a g.d. puppet - the brains behind bush DO NOT BELONG TO BUSH

[ClassWarrior]

34. Whether it's true or not isn't what's important.

What's important is that promoting the idea that he's stupid CUTS HIM A TON OF SLACK. Is that your goal? To cut Bush** some slack?

I'm guessing it's not.

NGU.

[Skittles]

38. there's no "promoting the idea he's stupid"

he just IS

[ClassWarrior]

40. No, and there's no such thing as smart strategy, either...

...just because you wish it's so.

<LOL>

NGU.

[Fovea]

39. Cutting the stupid some slack.

I am all for it. Find them a job they can do comfortably, if they are capable, but don't let them carry the football.

Judging by the Mike Malloy show last night, even the freeps can't kiss the pig anymore.


Not even Karl can make Murikins happy about what ** has been shoving down their throats since his big mandate. That came out last night clearly. Sure they hate libruls worse than ever, but they have caught on that it's evening in America, and ** likes it dark.

[Skittles]

45. you know it, realplitik

I'll never cut that thieving bastard one bit of slack

[ClassWarrior]

46. That's the point - when you call him stupid, you cut him MILES of slack.

People think, "Well, he's stupid, give him a break..."

If people start thinking of him as a criminal instead of an idiot, maybe they'll start holding the fuck accountable.

NGU.

[FreedomAngel82]

16. Ugh

I can't stand him. :mad: He's never had to pay back for anything! And he won't have to pay back what he's doing now! :banghead:

[funflower]

18. W knows a thing or two about debt

From an online bio:

>>snip

Before going into business, however, Bush took a quick detour into politics. In 1978, he ran for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. Bush lost the election, but he won the confidence of relatives and family friends who agreed to support Arbusto, his oil-exploration firm. From 1979 to 1983, dozens of investors poured millions into the company and its successor, Bush Exploration. Unfortunately for the investors Arbusto, however, turned out to be a financial failure. By April 1984, the company was $3.1 million in debt.

In 1984, Bush sold his business to another Texas oil and gas exploration firm, Spectrum 7. As part of the deal, Bush became Spectrum 7's chief executive officer. But once again, business success eluded Bush and those around him. Two years after the merger, in 1986, world oil prices, whose decline had hurt many Texas oil producers, plunged even further. Spectrum 7, deeply in debt, was in need of a bailout. Bush found one.

In 1986 Harken Oil & Gas, an oil exploration company based in Irving, Texas, bought Spectrum 7. For his part Bush earned $600,000 from the initial sale. He also became a director and was paid as much as $120,000 in annual consulting fees and received stock warrants worth $131,250 even though he spent much of 1987 and 1988 working on his father's presidential campaign.

On January 30, 1990, Harken reported that it had just signed an agreement with the government of Bahrain: "Harken Bahrain Oil Co. has concluded a Production Sharing Contract with the Bahrain National Oil Co. The agreement gives Harked the exclusive right to carry out exploration, development, production, transportation and marketing of petroleum throughout most of Bahrain's Arabian Gulf offshore territories" The offshore fields were bordered on one side by a Saudi Arabian deposit with proven reserves of about 7 billion barrels, and a field belonging to Qatar with 2 billion barrels. The Bahraini offshore reserves had the potential to be enormous. (Ultimately, test-drillings found no oil on the offshore Bahraini fields.)

Harken ran into financial problems while Bush served on the company's board. In August 1990, Harken posted a quarterly $23 million loss from its consolidated operations, sending its stock price on a downward spiral. Bush had unloaded two-thirds of his holdings on June 22, 1990, for $848,560. He used the money from the sale to pay for his share of the Texas Rangers.

29. Eagle to CONDOM.........

The bush admin. today it is changing the countries emblem from a Eagle to a Condom because it accurately reflects the govts. political stance! A condom allows for inflation

31. Nice point - where's the usual Republican outrage????????????????

These damned hypocrites have been telling us for years that the Government needs to curb spending, now they are telling the individual to curb spending!!!!!

UNBELIEVABLE!!

[BreweryYardRat]

32. Gah!

That fucking hypocrite!

[Arugula Latte]

35. As always happens

a Democrat will eventually have to clean up his mess by raising taxes, thus saving us from crippling deficits. Then the pukes will squeal about "those lib'ruls taking your money, blah blah blah."

[CBHagman]

36. He's such a phony.

I have no idea why the press just plays along with his artificial compassion, his artificial nice-guyness, and his artificial concern for society. He's run up a deficit, made America hated around the world, and fixed us with a weak dollar, mountains of debt, and a huge trade deficit. And every time there's a chance to side with Joe and Jane Sixpack -- every single time -- he chooses to side with the wealthiest and kick Joe and Jane right in the teeth, and then send them a bill for the damage to his shoe.

He is truly a disgusting specimen.

:mad:

[dxstone]

37. Bush & his Boys are Hyper-Hypocrites...

Set the Reality-Spin at Warp Factor NINE!
Seriously, though... what do you people expect from this Devilish Douche-Bag of Duh-Duh-Dumb?



Hypocrisy is the "new" Hip.

41. Yeah, like those taxpayers in Texas who paid for his adventure

...in baseball. Will he be returning the obscene profits he skimmed from them?

Didn't think so....

[AuntiBush]

42. It's OK for his RICH, BIG CORP $$$, but not the minons...

If there is a hell, hope he & co rots at the top of it!

47. Hate is not a Progressive value.

Don't hate him. Exile him.

And read Sun Tsu while you're at it. We only lose when we lose control.

[Donailin]

52. Can't control the visceral reaction

that I get when he opens his gob. I have prayed for the man countless times in total earnest. I have tried over and over to understand that he didn't become an asshole on his own, and I have imagined his own brokenness and poverty of conscience as his own cross to bear.

None of that lasts very long. I simply cannot stand the man.

And for the record, we haven't lost anything. It was STOLEN from us.

Read TruthIsAll.

48. Typical hypocrisy

Bush and his larcenous gang expect all the hard-working everyday Americans to work twice as hard and be screwed ever more each day-- while Bush and his cohorts make off with the loot.
