CNN poll: Would you pay $4.95 to hear a motivitional speech from George W. Bush?
69% say no. (Apparently FUCK NO is not an option.) If you feel like it, head on over and pile on.

2. Actually, he's very good at motivational speaking.
Every time he spoke, I was always more motivated to donate my time and money to Democrats.

13. Quote from when posting a new thread: "Good citizens check for duplicates!"
Any story that is hours old here at DU is no longer news and there is no reason why additional posts could not have been added to this morning's thread. Adding posts to that thread would bring it to the top of its forum where it could be seen anew.

That's so what.

9. I would.
But I've yet to hear anything coming out of George Bush's mouth that would motivate me to do anything.

11. See, when you motivize somebody, that means you're increasing motivation.
To kind of, increase their motivation to do things. I like to call that, "motivating." So that means that you all are motivationed. Your motivation is a motivation that's higher than most are.

16. For those who answer yes, they should have a link to where
they can buy the recording. If they don't buy it, their vote should be changed to no.

24. Wrong: I voted 'no' on the site.
But I answered 'yes' here and explained the circumstances. Neither will I pay for the Dubya shit nor say 'no' here.

18. Not Hell NO but Hell to the No. I would not walk across
a street to hear, see, or talk to him. Just thinking about it gives me a headache. I am a Texan, not a Conn. Born wannabe transplant will GWB. AKA Georgie Boy.

19. I would if he were standing in a docket, trying to motivate a jury not to find him guilty.
Especially if, after hearing that speech, I could then hear the jury deliver a "guilty" verdict.

39. Can't say as I would. For five bucks you can pick up a terrific CD on
one of the on-line sites and enjoy it for years.
