BACKGROUND

THE CRIMINAL:
Arrested (no. of times unknown) for DUI and cocaine possession (erased from his criminal record).

PRE-PRESIDENCY

2000: STEALING THE PRESIDENCY WITH BROTHER’S HELP:
Leading up to the November election, Florida’s Secretary of State, Katherine Harris and Governor
Jeb Bush remove tens of thousands of citizens from the voter rolls. 54% of those removed were
African-American.

The Florida Republican party claims those barred from voting were convicted felons, but almost none were. In the 2000 election, Al Gore received over 90% of the African American vote for President, but "lost" Florida.

2000: STEALING THE PRESIDENCY WITH FATHER’S HELP
Loses the popular vote by over a half a million votes but still becomes president, thanks to a Supreme Court decision against a Florida recount made by Bush Sr/Republican appointees.

removed from the Human Rights Commission. Cut off negotiations with North Korea to contain their growing nuclear weapons arsenal.

world community. First president in US history to order an attack and military occupation of a
sovereign nation.



wake up! (i wrote the last two words myself.

*The nightmare continues...

Rick, I guess you were happy to hear that they were going to name a submarine after Bill Clinton. They had to change their minds when they found out no one wanted to go down on the Bill Clinton. They were going to call it the US Slick Willie.

Rick, I'm not sure if you were a Clinton fan or not. Do you think Bill was as bad as Dubya?

Sorry, stream of consciousness, not a cut and paste, I apologize in advance for any inaccuracies.

JonR

what is untruthful about this.

does drivel mean you disagree with something.

well, your answers are klopners.

I think Rick actually loves GW. This and all his other posts pick on him the way a young school boy picks on a girl he secretly likes.

plabonte

you and i have a totally diffent viewpoint about drinking and parenting.

Rick,

"not a fan of Clinton..." which f---ing President do you like anyway? Teddy Roosevelt or Abe Lincoln or honest old Lyndon Baines Johnson? LMAO

Charlie

Why don't you share that view then Rick? Unless you can't post unless its a cut and paste. Where they out doing cocaine? Where they physically abusing someone? Are they in a gang? What are their grades in school like? What are their moral beliefs? Do they go to church? Do they treat other people with respect and dignity?

I'll bet you don't have the answers to these questions. But then you don't need them. You know they drink underage so there must be bad parenting.

You ever drink underage Rick? You ever do anything wrong underage? Or can you not remember that far back?

This need not be a condemnation of Rick.

Rick hates President Bush. We know that.
Many inaccuracies drift freely on the web. We know that.
Rick embraces anything resembling an attack on Bush. We know that.

Now, we also should know that mixing untruths and innuendo with facts does not make them any more factual.
To imply that the middle east drama was somehow escalated because Bush won the election is ridiculous. To blame him for North Korea or China is imbecile, and to say that our spy plane forced a fighter jet down is just plain ignorant.
I could go on, but you get my point.

This isn't about President Bush and his terrible deeds. It's about Ricks hatred skewing his vision of reality.

plabonte

are you suggesting using phoney id cards and drinking are signs of good parenting and that w is a good role model? the need to drink, which is what they seem to have, is not healthy at that age, or any age for that matter. i'm not talking about drinking per se, but the NEED to drink, otherwise why go to the trouble of obtaining illegal, phony id's in order to drink. is it not possible to go out with friends without drinking? if not, there is a problem and the going out is simply an excuss to drink and/or get drunk.

if you go to church, then is it ok to get drunk?
and please don't try to hand me any sh*t, that they are not trying to get drunk, they just like the taste of booze.


is cocaine use ok? do you believe that all the information available about w using it are all wrong? he is and was clean and sober.

drinking held some fascination for me in the late 70's and early 80's, only in vegas and for a few years.

"remember that far back" why wouldn't i? my sport at 17, was drag racing at night on back country roads with the lights out. want to sit in the copilot seat at 100 + without lights or safety belts and go for a little spin. how about passing one trolley and getting between it and the trolley coming at you with a few inches to spare on both sides. what got you going at 17?

i write insurance for a living, and i have seen more of these young drunken little **** then you will in a lifetime. their common denominater is lack of respect for themselves and the danger they pose on the road to others, and the bitching about their civil rights being violated when the police asked them to take a sobriety test.


some of them do grow out of it and become of some use to themselves. one young little rascal called and asked for "rick what should i do, man? i just got out after a year for too many dui's, and i got one the fist night out."

Charlie

the buck may have stopped with truman. it's a shame.

tailgater

i don't feel condemnation from your post.

my vision of reality is not skewed. it is also not affected by pictures of w gingerly jumping from an airplane. i don't hate bush, he knows not what he does. he is a spoiled little simpleton in charge, sort of, the hen house.

i don't like what is being done to our country, and lucky for you, you can't see it, sad for me, i can.

Why do you feel that some teens drinking is evil and riding at 100+ MPH is fun?

Drinking at a party is far less dangerous than reckless driving. And unless I'm mistaken, the Bush twins have not driven while inebriated.

Hypocracy does not become you.

tailgater

from what don't i see

patriotism, the last refuge of a scoundrel.
i too noticed the freshly vacumed carpet and the clean, streak free windows.
functional, it does appear that they get along with each other.
values, clinton may have been accused of rape, but bush is raping the country and there is not one democrat that is pointing it out to the public.

nadar was correct, this is a one party country, the republicats.

sketcha, what about Cathleen Willy, Paula Jones, and the "others". I can't remember them all... You truly believe he did not abuse women?

tailgater

they were lousy parents. mother too self absorbed. father gone a lot, show business.

i will give you one example from 54 years ago. when i was 16 i got interested in driving and knew i had 365 days to go before i could get my permit and marked the calander with x number of days to go. on my birthday i got my permit, but my father was too busy to give me any lessons. neighbors taught me to drive and my father taught me to abuse his cars anytime i had permission to use them.

when i bought my first convertable in over 20 years, in 1974, we had been driving family cars, 2 or 4 door rambler, chev, whatever, i parked it in the driveway, top down and looking cool. ross who had been driving abou 8 months asked if he could use it. i told him the keys were hanging on the key rack. i did not follow him to the car or examine it when he came home. it was transportation to him, pretty snazzy transportation, but not a toy.

my parents simply not prepared to have children. they were too young and hadn't found themselves. they never did find peace in their lives.

no forgiveness, they were aftr all responsible for what they did. i do understand the why's and because of that, toby and i married late, me 31, toby 27. our children were raised to their advantage. we broke the chain of bad parenting that had existed in both our families for generations. ross and bradley were kept away from the families until they were old enough to not be influenced by them. ultimately they were brought to family functions when they could say, wow, these people are interesting.

their children and grand children will never have to deal with parents who shouldn't be parents.

Hey Rick I'm in Denver so I didn't have time to respond sorry.

When they were caught in the bar what was their blood alcohol level? Were they drunk? Believe it or not some people get fake IDs so they can get into the bar and NOT drink. They do it just for the social value. Some of the best dance clubs are 21 and over. I'm not saying that is the case here but I'm saying it is a posibility.

Drinking is a scially acceptable behavior, and legal (if you are a certain age). All these kids are trying to do is grow up a little faster. In my mind that is a perfectly normal behavior.

You smoke. That is bad for you. It is unhealthy and therefore not normal. (same in my mind as drinking) Does that mean you had bad parents because you are doing this. By your logic yes.

sketcha, standing by, your silence speaks volumes... If you agree that your points were bogus, then please do not respond and I will accept your silence as admittance of error :-)

plabonte

no internet in denver, better tell gore.

you are too kind. they were there to drink and party, not just to have a sociable drink which they are still not legally able to buy.

here's the acorn, here's the tree. pretty close to each other, aren't they.

Oy Vey!

I for one try not to overlook anything. I just don't see what baring his daughters have on his presidency. I just think as some other folks have said here, if you look hard enough, you can find fault with literally anyone in virtually any situation. Especially if you ad in the spin factor. Rick, the original post was so laden with BS it's difficult to tell what to address and what to ignore. And I for one have to throw a BS flag on your statement that you don’t hate Bush!

Like Lou Reed? How about Lou Reed's..."Rock and Roll Animal"?

Charlie

I know who
Eddie is? Just had to hit with the Lou Reed R & R Animal.

Charlie

Good shot Joe! So damn true!

Charlie

I think he's doing the best he can with what he has. i.e., econ on the way down when he came in, planes in bldgs, world primed for trouble, etc... I think he's doing a pretty good job, yes.
