Impeach George Bush


Why Bush Thought He Could Do the Job

George Bush isn't as stupid as I think he is. He is smart enough to know he's not smart enough to be president. So, Why did he think he could be President?

Source: Linda Lindauer, 2004-04-13

Candidate: Republican Party


The answer has to start with Ronald Reagan.

George W wasn't part of the Reagan Administration, but he was close - close enough to see what was going on.

Ronald Reagan is currently suffering from Alsheimer's Disease. The Dirty Little Secret is, Ronald Reagan was suffering from this disabling disease while he was serving as president. Yet that fact was kept from the public.

George W's father was among those that kept that secret.

Imagine the joking around the Bush family dinner table at Reagan's expense. They probably called him "The Old Man" and made really ugly remarks about his "not playing with a full deck" or "don't let him wander too far from Nancy."

Of course, these kinds of ugly, mean-spirited jokes were really at the expense of the American People who were leaderless while their government was looted in the most indicted administration in the nation's history. With no one at the helm, the Reagan Administration wandered aimlessly through the later half of the 20t

h Century.

It wasn't until George HW Bush took over the office of President that all of the thieving of the Reagan Administration came home to the American People. The Savings and Loan Scandals, the Bush Pardons of the indicted Reagan Administrators, that awful recession and the huge National Debt all happened during the first Bush Administration. And he was roundly rejected.

Bill Clinton, that rascal, has a great intellect. He made being President look easy. He turned the country around in every way and is beloved to this day by the vast Middle Class. During the Clinton years, the rich got richer and even the poor got richer. The Bush people hated him. But who could they run against him?

It fell to George W. You can imagine how he whined that he didn't want to run. But his Mom and Dad told him they'd surround him with their old friends and everything would be alright.

Well, its not alright, is it. He's made a real mess of things and he doesn't have a clue how to fix it. If

it weren't that so many people have died because of his awful arrogance, I'd feel sorry for him. But he is a personal and national failure and he should be ashamed of himself and resign.

Go home, Mr. President. Just go home.

Ok, impeach Bush and try Clinton and former secretary of state madeline not-so-bright for treason.

Kaydee - you don't get it.  There are no saints in politics.  Demonizing Bush, Clinton, Allbright, Gore, the whole damn gang is not going to make this world a better or more safe place to live.

Trust me, I know, having been a former campaign worker for Bobby Kennedy.  Politics is a game.  The country needs to be run like a business if any of us are going to keep the majority of the money we work so hard to earn in our pocket and not Uncle Sam's. Sounds pretty lame I know, but that's pretty much the bottom line.

Is Kerry a good businessman?  He certainly has a lot of money to manage for a guy whose only job has been in politics.

 :rofl:

[kaydeejaded]

do you think that I don't know politics is a game?

Kerry:

Bachelor's degree, Yale University, 1966; law degree, Boston College, 1976
 

Offices Held:  Massachusetts lieutenant governor, 1982-84; U.S. senator, elected 1984

Throughout his career, John Kerry has been a top leader on the environment, fighting to clean up toxic waste sites, to keep our air and water clean, and to protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and other pristine wilderness areas. In addition to supporting important environmental initiatives, John Kerry has turned a spotlight on the Bush Administration?s rollbacks of our hard-won environmental gains and their outdated, old-economy notions that our environment must be sacrificed in the name of short-term profit.

Kerry won the Purple Heart three times for wounds suffered in action and was awarded the Bronze Star and the Navy's Silver Star for gallantry in action.

When Kerry returned home a highly decorated soldier, he joined the Vietnam Veterans Against the War, becoming a prominent antiwar spokesperson. He challenged the Nixon administration and as Kerry's public popularity soared, the FBI considered him a subversive. Brinkley reveals how White House aides tried to discredit Kerry. Refusing to be intimidated, Kerry ran for public office, eventually becoming a U.S. senator. He never forgot his fallen comrades. Working with Senator John McCain, he returned to Vietnam numerous times looking for MIAs and POWs, becoming the leading proponent of "normalization" of relations with Vietnam. When President Clinton officially recognized Vietnam in 1995, Kerry's three-decade-long tour of duty had at long last finally ended.

The Washington Post reports that Bush joined the National Guard 12 days before his student deferment would have expired, and that in spite of his low score on the pilot's aptitude test (25, the lowest score allowed), and in spite of the waiting list that some kids spent years on, Bush was sworn in as an airman the day he applied.  Indeed, so giddy was Bush's commander, Col. Walter B. "Buck" Staudt, that he later staged a special ceremony so he could have his picture taken giving Bush the oath, instead of the captain who actually had sworn Bush in.  Bush spent two years learning to fly airplanes in his home state of Texas.

As the 2000 Presidential campaign moved along, angry veterans in Alabama claimed that George W Bush never performed any military service in that state, as stated on his campaign website.  They offered a reward of $1000 (which rose to $3,500) to anyone who could prove that he had.  No one came forth with any proof.

WASHINGTON -- Democratic military veterans in the US Senate lashed out yesterday at Governor George W. Bush of Texas for failing to explain his apparent extended absence during his tenure in the Texas Air National Guard.

"The question is, where were you, Governor Bush?" said Senator Daniel Inouye, Democrat of Hawaii and a World War II veteran.

"What would you do as commander-in-chief if someone in the National Guard did the same thing?" Inouye asked during a telephone address to supporters of Vice President Al Gore in Nashville yesterday.

Inouye joined several colleagues, Senators Bob Kerrey, Democrat of Nebraska, and Max Cleland, Democrat of Georgia, in raising harsh questions about Bush's role during the Vietnam War.

The remarks were in response to a Globe article this week showing that Bush stopped flying after 22 months within his unit of the Texas Air National Guard. Further, the article reported, Bush failed to show up for required Guard drills during a six-month stay in Alabama, and he was lax even after returning to Houston.

"At the least, I would have been court-martialed. At the least, I would have been placed in prison," Inouye said.

Bush "made a commitment to the Texas Air National Guard, and God bless him for doing so," said Kerrey. But "if you're going to make a commitment to join the Guard, especially at that time, you've got to keep that commitment," Kerrey added.

Bush has refused to be interviewed by the Globe on the topic of his military service.

Thank You For Choosing United, Mr. Bin Laden
April 14, 2004

Last week, 9/11 commissioner John Lehman revealed that "it was the policy (before 9/11) and I believe remains the policy today to fine airlines if they have more than two young Arab males in secondary questioning because that's discriminatory." Hmmm ... Is 19 more than two? Why, yes, I believe it is. So if two Jordanian cab drivers are searched before boarding a flight out of Newark, Osama bin Laden could then board that plane without being questioned. I'm no security expert, but I'm pretty sure this gives terrorists an opening for an attack.

In a sane world, Lehman's statement would have made headlines across the country the next day. But not one newspaper, magazine or TV show has mentioned that it is official government policy to prohibit searching more than two Arabs per flight.

Meanwhile, another 9/11 commissioner, the greasy Richard Ben-Veniste, claimed to be outraged that the CIA did not immediately give intelligence on 9/11 hijackers Nawaf Alhazmi and Khalid Almihdhar to the FBI. As we now know -- or rather, I alone know because I'm the only person in America watching the 9/11 hearings -- Ben-Veniste should have asked his fellow commissioner Jamie Gorelick about that.
 
In his testimony this week, John Ashcroft explained that the FBI wasn't even told Almihdhar and Alhazmi were in the country until weeks before the 9/11 attack -- because of Justice Department guidelines put into place in 1995. The FBI wasn't allowed to put al-Qaida specialists on the hunt for Almihdhar and Alhazmi because of Justice Department guidelines put into place in 1995. Indeed, the FBI couldn't get a warrant to search Zacarias Moussaoui's computer -- because of Justice Department guidelines put into place in 1995.

The famed 1995 guidelines were set forth in a classified memorandum written by the then-deputy attorney general titled "Instructions for Separation of Certain Foreign Counterintelligence and Criminal Investigations," which imposed a "draconian" wall between counterintelligence and criminal investigations.

What Ashcroft said next was breathtaking. Prohibited from mounting a serious search for Almihdhar and Alhazmi, an irritated FBI investigator wrote to FBI headquarters, warning that someone would die because of these policies -- "since the biggest threat to us, OBL (Osama bin Laden), is getting the most protection."

FBI headquarters responded: "We're all frustrated with this issue. These are the rules. NSLU (National Security Law Unit) does not make them up. But somebody did make these rules. Somebody built this wall."

The person who built that wall described in the infamous 1995 memo, Ashcroft said, "is a member of the commission." If this were an episode of "Matlock," the camera would slowly pan away from Ashcroft's face at this point and then quickly jump to an extreme close-up of Jamie Gorelick's horrified expression. Armed marshals would then escort the kicking, screaming Gorelick away in leg irons as the closing credits rolled. Gorelick was the deputy attorney general in 1995.

The 9/11 commission has finally uncovered the proverbial "smoking gun"! But it was fired by one of the 9/11 commissioners. Maybe between happy reminiscences about the good old days of Ruby Ridge, Waco and the Elian Gonzales raid, Ben-Veniste could ask Gorelick about those guidelines. Democrats think it's a conflict of interest for Justice Scalia to have his name in the same phonebook as Dick Cheney. But there is no conflict of interest having Gorelick sit on a commission that should be investigating her.

Bill O'Reilly's entire summary of Ashcroft's testimony was to accuse Ashcroft of throwing sheets over naked statues rather than fighting terrorism. No mention of the damning Gorelick memo. No one knows about the FAA's No-Searching-Arabs counterterrorism policy. Predictions that conservatives have finally broken through the wall of sound coming from the mainstream media may have been premature.

When Democrats make an accusation against Republicans, newspaper headlines repeat the accusation as a fact: "U.S. Law Chief 'Failed to Heed Terror Warnings,'" "Bush Was Told of Qaida Steps Pre-9/ 11; Secret Memo Released," "Bush White House Said to Have Failed to Make al-Qaida an Early Priority."

But when Republicans make accusations against Democrats -- even accusations backed up by the hard fact of a declassified Jamie Gorelick memo -- the headlines note only that Republicans are making accusations: "Ashcroft Lays Blame at Clinton's Feet," "Ashcroft: Blame Bubba for 9/11," "Ashcroft Faults Clinton in 9/11 Failures."

It's amazing how consistent it is. A classic of the genre was the Chicago Tribune headline, which managed to use both constructs in a single headline: "Ashcroft Ignored Terrorism, Panel Told; Attorney General Denies Charges, Blames Clinton." Why not: "Reno Ignored Terrorism, Panel Told; Former Deputy Attorney General Denies Charges, Blames Bush"?

Democrats actively created policies that were designed to hamstring terrorism investigations. The only rap against the Bush administration is that it failed to unravel the entire 9/11 terrorism plot based on a memo titled: "Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States."

I have news for liberals: Bin Laden is still determined to attack inside the United States! Could they please tell us when and where the next attack will be? Because unless we know that, it's going to be difficult to stop it if we can't search Arabs.

***I have news for liberals: Bin Laden is still determined to attack inside the United States! Could they please tell us when and where the next attack will be? Because unless we know that, it's going to be difficult to stop it if we can't search Arabs.***

Oh, please. Ann needs to get her head out of the sand. Has it ever occured to anyone that OBL might be a patsy for the powers that be in the US gov't?

The Bush and Bin Laden families have very close ties- Carlyle Group, etc. The day of 911, or day after (can't remember);while airports were shut down all over the country, Bush sent a jet around to pick up OBL's siblings and fly them out of the country. Hmmmm. Why might he have done that?
If the US wanted Bin Laden, they'd have him. They passed up several opportunities.

Now, think about this. If OBL was 'captured', who would those powers have to scare Americans into going along with the One World Order plan to rape and pillage at home and abroad- fill the pockets of the war machine- Haliburton, et al? They desperately needed a bad guy to justify EVERYTHING they are doing- and who better than an elusive Arab who hides out in caves- with his dialysis machine of course. Without a bad guy, the drama would end. Make sense?

Nope, there is no effort to find OBL. And, I think it's very plausible that they may have actually employed him to play the role of 'bad guy' in this drama, assuring him of complete safety. Saddam (who they really wanted- rather his country's resources) wouldn't have accepted that role, and never was a true threat, so out of left field comes OBL. Whose whereabouts will remain unknown until he dies of kidney failure. I figure that gives the Bush/Bin Laden/Cheney families etal ample time to take every penny they can squeeze out of the American public, strip us of our rights, and to gain control of the natural resources in Iraq- which was the goal all along.

I agree, not a nickle's worth of difference.

Ya'll might want to keep an eye on the Libertarian convention.
http://www.lp.org/lpnews/0405/national_convention.html

But even if a Lib delegate were to miraculously sweep the election, it still wouldn't make a whole lot of difference. The US president isn't like a king (except, of course, for possible inbreeding in recent years) But they don't get to overturn laws or really to do a whole lot of anything that their swarm of legal experts don't authorize. The office itself has momentum.

What we need is more involvement on the part of tax paying, voting, competent adults on the local and state levels. We need to quit sending half our earnings to those lunatics inside the beltway. All they do is get into trouble w/ it then whisk their beloved families off to safety while sending ours overseas to kill and die.

Patriot, I admire your grit and am grateful to you for your willingness to serve. But I think you're quite gullible. Sorry, I do. I don't think any US military action in the last 5 decades has been worthy of the blood of dedicated American soldiers.

I agree with what you are saying Ginger, although I am a realist when it comes to war , it sucks but it happens. National defense is necessary as far as the WMD deal in Iraq damed if ya do damed if ya don't its a messed up situation. I don't always support what opour government is doing I support my fellow soldires bottom line. Afganistan, we were rightly justified in going in 911 dictated that, they haven't found Bin Laden but hopefully they will. Look Jeraldo Rivera was one of the most anti-war Liberal people you could find, but after he went to Afganistan he changed his mind completely on the war on terrorism. War is reality it has been since the beginning of time, I am no war monger but I believe our country has to defend its self unconditionaly because if we don't and sit back and tie die our clothes and have love ins
and ignore threats to our way of life we will be spending Yen in the grocery store or standing in line for bread. The opening scenes of Saving Private Ryan is a good example of what people have died for to allow us to even have a open forum like this today. War sucks but it is reality , a utopian society will never exisit. As far as gullible well hey to each their own defense is necessary If loving my country makes me gullible I stand guilty, but that doesn't mean I agree with my goverment being a Patriot is a love of ones country and countrymen please don't confuse that with being gullible.[ This Message was edited by: thepatriot on 2004-04-15 08:51 ][ This Message was edited by: thepatriot on 2004-04-15 09:00 ][ This Message was edited by: thepatriot on 2004-04-15 09:01 ]
