A record to be proud of...
Hi all,
Quite a season we've been having, huh?
I just had to post this again.
Bush makes me sick. The fact that so many americans buy into his warped sense of righteousness and entitlement has me thinking so little of our society right now.
Blurred Elevens, regardless of your views, you come off as such an asshole.
George W. Bush, The White House, USA
LAW ENFORCEMENT: I was arrested in Kennebunkport, Maine in 1976 for
driving under the influence of alcohol. I pled guilty, paid a fine, and
had my driver’s license suspended for 30 days. My Texas driving record has
been "lost" and is not available.
MILITARY: I joined the Texas Air National Guard and went AWOL. I refused
to take a drug test or answer any questions about my drug use. By joining
the Texas Air National Guard, I was able to avoid combat duty in Vietnam.
PAST WORK EXPERIENCE: I ran for U.S. Congress and lost. I began my career
in the oil business in Midland, Texas in 1975. I bought an oil company,
but couldn’t find any oil in Texas. The company went bankrupt shortly
after I sold all my stock. I bought the Texas Rangers baseball team in a
sweetheart deal that took land, using taxpayers money. With the help of my
father and our right-wing friends in the oil industry (including Enron CEO
Ken Lay), I was elected Governor of Texas.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS GOVERNOR: I changed Texas pollution laws to favor power
and oil companies, making Texas the most polluted state in the Union.
During my tenure, Houston replaced Los Angeles as the most smog-ridden
city in America. I cut taxes and bankrupted the Texas treasury to the tune
of billions in borrowed money. I set the record for the most executions by
any Governor in American history. With the help of my brother, the
Governor of Florida, and my father’s appointments to the Supreme Court, I
became President after losing by over 500,000 votes.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS PRESIDENT: I invaded and occupied two countries at a
continuing cost of over one billion dollars per week. I spent the U.S.
surplus and effectively bankrupted the U.S. Treasury. I shattered the
record for the largest annual deficit in U.S. history. I set an economic
record for most private bankruptcies filed in 12-month period. I set the
all-time record for the biggest drop in the history of the U.S. stock
market. I am the first president in U.S. history to enter office with a
criminal record. I set the all-time record for most days on vacation in
any one-year period. After taking-off the entire month of August, I
presided over the worst security failure in U.S. history. I am supporting
development of a nuclear “Tactical Bunker Buster,” a WMD. In my State Of
The Union Address, I lied about our reasons for attacking Iraq, then
blamed the lies on our British friends. I set the record for most campaign
fund-raising trips by a U.S. president. In my first year in office over
2-million Americans lost their jobs and that trend continues every month.
I set the all-time record for most foreclosures in a 12-month period. I
appointed more convicted criminals to administration than any president in
U.S. history. I set the record for the least amount of press conferences
by any president since the advent of television. I presided over the
biggest energy crisis in U.S. history and refused to intervene when
corruption involving the oil industry was revealed. I presided over the
highest gasoline prices in U.S. history. I have cut health care benefits
for war veterans and support a cut in duty benefits for active duty troops
and their families—in wartime. I have set the all-time record for most
people worldwide to simultaneously protest me in public venues (15 million
people) shattering the record for protest against any person in the
history of mankind. I’ve broken more international treaties than any
president has in U.S. history. I’m proud that the members of my cabinet
are the richest of any administration in U.S. history. My “poorest
millionaire,” Condoleeza Rice, has a Chevron oil tanker named after her. I
am the first president in U.S. history to order an unprovoked, pre-emptive
attack and the military occupation of a sovereign nation. I did so against
the will of the United Nations, the majority of U.S. citizens, and the
world community. I created the Ministry of Homeland Security, the largest
bureaucracy in the history of the United States government. I am the first
president in U.S. history to have the United Nations remove the U.S. from
the Human Rights Commission. I withdrew the U.S. from the International
Criminal Court. I refused to allow inspectors access to U.S. prisoners of
war detainees and thereby have refused to abide by the Geneva Convention.
I am the first president in history to refuse United Nations election
inspectors (during the 2002 U.S. election). I am the all-time U.S. and
world record-holder for receiving the most corporate campaign donations.
My largest lifetime campaign contributor, and one of my best friends,
Kenneth Lay, presided over the largest corporate bankruptcy fraud in U.S.
history. My political party used the Enron private jets and corporate
attorneys to assure my success with the U.S. Supreme Court during my
election decision. I have protected my friends at Enron and Halliburton
against investigation or prosecution. More time and money was spent
investigating the Monica Lewinsky affair than has been spent investigating
one of the biggest corporate rip-offs in history. I garnered the most
sympathy for the U.S. after the World Trade Center attacks and less than a
year later made the U.S. the most hated country in the world, the largest
failure of diplomacy in world history. I am the first president in history
to have a majority of Europeans (71%) view my presidency as the biggest
threat to world peace and security. I changed the U.S. policy to allow
convicted criminals to be awarded government contracts. I have so far
failed to fulfill my pledge to bring Osama Bin Laden to
justice.
RECORDS AND REFERENCES: All records of my tenure as Governor of Texas are
now in my father’s library, sealed, and unavailable for public view. All
records of SEC investigations into my insider trading and my bankrupt
companies are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view. All
records or minutes from meetings that I, or my Vice-President attended
regarding public energy policy are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for
public review.
Please consider my experience when voting in 2004.
