Bush's Farewell (Good Riddance!)

George Bush has been busy trying to repair his image before he leaves office, giving interviews and speeches to try to change the bad taste Americans have in their mouths from the last 8 years of his failed presidency.

Tonight Bush gave his "farewell speech" to the nation. He takes credit for keeping us safe from terrorism (except for 9/11) and for spreading democracy (except in Iraq, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, etc.) and for America's reputation as a defender of human rights (except for Guitmo and some waterboarding...)

Here are a few things he left out of his record:

The Bush Years Jan. 01 Jan. 09

Unemployment 4.2% 7.2%
U.S. Budget + $237B - $1.2 Trillion

Consumer Confidence 116 38
Uninsured Americans 40 M 46 M

Except for the illegal invasion of Iraq, the growing quagmire in Afghanistan, Katrina and New Orleans, and the Second Great Depression, things are just great...

Congress Rating Plunges!

Congress Ratings Plunge in Gallup Poll

Congressional approval ratings have sunk to their lowest point in three decades according to latest Gallup Poll!
According to the poll, 14% approve of the job Congress is doing. That's HALF Bush's 28% job approval.
The political analysts blame the economy, the Democratic leaders blame Bush...
None of them even mention the main reason: The Democrats have FAILED to stand up the the most unpopular President in modern history! They failed to stop the war, they failed to impeach Bush and Cheney or even hold them accountable for their crimes: illegal war, war crimes, illegal torture, wiretapping, abuses of the judicial system for political gain, outing CIA agent Valerie Plame etc. etc. etc.
The Democratic Party is pathetic! Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi should step down or be replaced!

Are Republicans Really this Stupid?

Are People (Republicans) Really This Stupid??

Today at work I got into a political discussion (which we aren’t supposed to have) with a woman (a WOMAN) who couldn’t understand why the American people did not support the war because the soldiers support it and we should too. I tried to explain that MILITARY polls and surveys shows that military soldiers overwhelmingly opposed the war now, like the general public, and disapprove of George Bush. Furthermore, over 1,000 of our soldiers in Iraq have committed SUICIDE. She responded that maybe they enlisted “to get a free ride” !!!
I could not believe people could be so blindly supportive of Bush that they would even dismiss the opposition of the troops they claim to support.

She laughed when I said the Iraq War was illegal and Bush LIED (misled) congress and the country into it. (He didn’t Know.. She said)
He KNEW! He knew Iraq didn’t pose a “clear and present” danger to the U.S.! He KNEW Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11!
Bush KNEW that Iraq had NO TIES to Al Qeda!
Bush has committed IMPEACHABLE CRIMES! (Iraq, illegal torture, wiretapping, etc..)
How can people still not KNOW these facts!

This same person is racist. She wants to move from her house because of the “neighborhood” (i.e. Blacks).
She thinks all poor people are lazy and are popping out babies to get welfare checks.
Rich people deserve to be rich, poor people are just too lazy, etc.
She thinks labor unions are evil, and Wal-Mart is a great company to work for..
She thinks Bush is a better president than Bill Clinton, who she hates...

Is this the “typical” Republican today?
And why is it that most of the SUV’s I see with “W” and Bush/Cheney stickers driven by WOMEN?

Sorry I had to vent... I just don’t understand how people could be this stupid.
