His daddy bought him the job of being governor in Texas. The man hasn’t any ability and certainly isn’t a leader. It was a safe job since the governor of Texas actually has very little power to do anything. More or less, it is just a position for show. So, Dubya really couldn’t hurt anything. Or, at least that is the theory.
But, to put this man in the posititon of the most powerful man on Earth. Good God, People, you had best wake up by Tuesday. Read the below and send this near idiot back to Austin or wherever he came from in Texas.
Could there be a bigger one then the words "President George W. Bush?"
Let's look at a few other Bush principles and what Bush might really say if stripped of pre-scripted sound bites:
PRINCIPLED HYPOCRISY: "I believe that the principle of respect for the rule of law demands that the harshest possible penalties be imposed against those drug offenders who do not get away with it like I did."
DUTIFUL MALFEASANCE: "I served with honor in the Texas Air National Guard during those times I was not AWOL."
CARING INDIFFERENCE: "Poor people? What poor people? I never saw any poor folks...now wait just one minute. It isn't that I don't care. Don't say I don't care. I care a whole big bunch. I will cry for poor people, I mean, if I ever meet any."
EXPENSIVE FREEDOM: "I am opposed to campaign finance reform, because it would deny the huge multi-national corporations supporting my campaign their constitutional right to buy the election."
GENTLE CRUELTY: "It is true that I do get kind of giddy and excited when I talk about having someone put to death. And I have been known to crack a joke or two when signing a death warrant. But there is nothing wrong with that. After all, being a compassionate conservative doesn't mean I can't enjoy my work."
CHARITABLE NEGLECT: "Unlike Mr. Gore, I believe in the people, not in the government. I believe that poor people, if there really are any, can decide on their own how best to be poor, with out the government telling them how to do it."
HAZY CLARITY: "I want to clearly answer your question about agriculture, sir, by saying that we need to rebuild our military forces."
SENSIBLE FOOLISHNESS: "I have proven that I am qualified to be president, because I have memorized the names of a lot of foreign countries."
AFTER-THE-FACT PREVENTION: "We shouldn't rush in to this global warming thing. We don't want to put a bunch of effort in to trying to prevent a world wide environmental catastrophe until after it happens."
CUNNING STUPIDITY: "Having Texas come in 50th in things like health care for children is not so bad. No one ever talks about all those states that did worse."
CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP: "I want to take the power away from Washington and give it back to the corporations where it belongs."
And this one from me.
FOREIGN TRADE: We are getting more and more of our imports from overseas.
This is very close to his statement but may not be verbatim. I had it and some others I had saved written down on paper. Well, I lost the paper in one of my computer room cleaning binges.
Anyway, just suffice it to say - if this guy is the best the nation has to offer, then we are seriously in trouble as a nation. The best thing one can do is prepare one’s self
for complete shame of country if he does become the - crap, can’t even hardly think it, let alone write it - Oval Office occupant.
Compromised the best I could but if this sucker does end up buying the presidency, I will never call nor think of him as President). He will be nothing but a coke-snorting, drunken
spoiled rich brat who had a daddy quite adept at greasing the palms which formulate national policy and fill political offices with those that are corrupted or corruptible.
