In order to be recognized, (or as a diversion), people have something else to talk about, hence the chaos ensued his election. I'm not really a conspiracy theorist, but I'd be damn if I don't believe in one (and you all know what it is).

I'd like to see some solid evidence of this. Otherwise, stop being another bush basher.


The question isn't "what did a politician do for you" - it should be - what did YOU do for your country

Ah, but who said that famous qoute? :)

Yes, very.... But the bastards I'm talking about are the billionaires of Oil, Contracting and other industries that benefited from this rape that's going on. So Mr. Billionaire dirtboy, what did Bush do for you?

obviously made him filthy rich, hence the nickname.

Yea, cause my nickname has everything to do with the amount of wealth I have. :p

Nothing, but then again I don't need politicians to do things for me.

I doubt poor people can afford a brand new $30K Honda Accord. :)

Owning a new Honda Accord means your rich? :confused: Does Dave & Co know that this is the new measure of wealth in America??

That's a nice assumption you dreamed up. Also, what were you assuming would happen if Saddam did stay in power a little longer? Would he launch his nuclear weapons we took away from him at us?

Rhetoric aside, the UN is not powerless. I don't remember them getting in the way in the first Iraq War.

Besides, what could France have done about a new resolution in regards to the recent Iraq conflict? I remember them stating they would not use their veto, so why do you put so much blame on France? It's obvious many countries were opposed to the possible war, for reasons you really don't know- but you'd probably just claim it was all in their 'economic interest'. It's funny how that works- you're so cynical about other countries- everything they do is in their -self-interest' while America is just going around doing everythign for other people, just to help them out, right?

Really? I thought I remembered France threatening to use their veto which scared some countries from coming out to support the resolution. But then after the resolution was shot down, they denied they would have ever vetoed it

More supposition (scaring countries part). Threatening to use a veto != using a veto.

Yes its != using a veto. BUT it is also != stating they would not use their veto which is what you said

Well, you got me there. I should have said "..remember them stating they would not have used their veto" change tense. :)

You want evidence? Take a look around, and open your eyes, and your minds while you're at it. Shiet, a monkey could do a better job than that bumbling baffoon.

As for what have I done for my country, look at posts above. And yes, I have paid my due.

Are you a politics major? Do you know for a fact that a monkey could do better than Bush? I would bet not. It's more like you are just slinging mud.

Bush's economic policies are merely an extension of the Reagan/GHWB economic policies- cutting taxes at the top will allow for trickle down effects, theoretically, anyway. The problem, of course, is that it doesn't really work that way, only massive debt acquisition by the govt has provided the illusion of effectiveness...

Real purchasing power of the average worker has remained stagnant since 1973, while the share of income and wealth has shifted radically towards the very top percentiles. So has the % of taxes paid, but not in proportion to the increase in incomes.

The whole operation is a form of looting- borrowing to allow huge tax "cuts" for the wealthiest americans, buying complicity from average voters with a few scraps from the feast...

While they're planning the collapse of the middle class, the dollar, and the financial power of the govt, the chumps are crowing over their pissant tax "cuts"- they're not "cuts" at all, just minor payouts in the greatest ponzi scheme ever perpetrated...

Under BusH I actually recieved several tax rebate checks back from the IRS

To think the goverment actually returned some of MY MONEY to ME

My tax rates have been lowered under Bush.

Do you Bush haters even pay taxes?

Do you Bush/Rich people haters REALLY THING our country would somehow be better off if you "stuck it to the wealthy"

Hey tax cuts may not trickle down, but Sh*t does. You destory Americas "rich" and might corporate structure and you wish to God you hadnt. America's greedy upperclass have afforded the rest of us a standard of living the rest of the world can only dream of.

Thank God for hard working, driven capitalists who made this country great.

In my opinion the rich should be the first to get tax breaks. Why? Because the top 1% of the most wealthy (350k and above) pay 34% of all of our taxes.

what we need to do is get rid of welfare, or sizeable cut it down. Put that money into job training. Welfare is acceptable in certain cases, pregnant mothers comes to mind, but it's being exploited the poor and lazy these days. We need to get these people off the streets and in the workforce of America.

you should wake up every morning and thank God for "rich" people..
they pay the overwhelming majority of taxes that provide you with all the goverment services you take for granted.
without "rich" people, the Democrat Party wouldn't have anyone to take income away from and redistribute to you!
God Bless "rich people", we need more of them, not less..

just remember the capitalists did it all by themselves right? t hey grew the money on trees.

or did they have the help of the highly educated workforce, educated with tax dollars, using infrastructure, research institutions paid for by tax dollars. their fortunes kept safe by government workers, policemen, firemen, soldiers all paid for by tax dollars. society creates the conditions which make wealth possible.
