Bush is an idiot anyways....yeah I voted for him cuz I didnt like Kerry but hes still a frickin idiotIf he is an idiot, I do not want to know what you are.........he is more educated, experienced, wealthier, and has more vision than any of us. But we still call him an idiot. Like I have stated before "an idiot would not be a millionaire, own a baseball team, and be a governor of a state, nontheless texas." You need to think before you type, because obviously you are more of an idiot to call him an idiot. Hell I did not even vote for the guy.........no matter what, whoever is president we as a country will bitch over every little thing.

...and I thought Bush couldnt speak in front of a camera. Why is this all his fault anyways? The state can deploy the gaurd on their own to save/help/protect/rebuild ect. Wasnt Mississippi's national guard deployed by the governor before the storm even hit? maybe it was Alabama?
(take big breath) I think Bush doesnt like PEOPLE(not black people) who spend fifty bucks in a bar the night before a storm of that magnitude is about to hit land when they could have spent that money on a bus ticket or a cab ride to safety then float down st charles ave screaming for a handout because the whole city is underwater just like a very smart man predicted in 2001 in his very factual book about the risks the city was taking by neglecting upgrading their system.
edit/ If you drive an SUV into the front of a jewelry store and come waltzing outside with two fists of "ICE" durning a state of emergency then you probably should be shot.

that quote by kanye and a few other black people i have seen complaining about racism on tv are part of the reason there is still supposedly racism in america. white people for the most part have dropped it and forgot about it, but most blacks on the other hand bring up racism every chance they get.
and the reason all the blacks didnt have enuff money to leave N.O. is cuz 90% of them were on welfare or living off some other government fund. they lived month to month with no extras. WHOS FAULT IS THAT? NOT GEORGE BUSH. its there own damn fault.
i feel bad for all of them that died, cuz they couldnt afford to leave, but dont ask for any sympathy. -
Kanye should just stick to rapping. No one in hollywood or show business should get the spotlight when it comes to politics.

Like I have stated before "an idiot would not be a millionaire, own a baseball team, and be a governor of a state, nontheless texas."Well, I've going to disagree with you on the bush portion of this quote by proving that you don't need a wealth of knowledge to achieve the above listed.
Education: Bought and paid for with daddies money. Like the son of a high ranking washington official isn't gonna graduate college
Experience: This doesn't mean shit, you can wash dishes at, let's say, wendy's for 10 years but that doesn't make you an intelligent person, an idiot yes but definately not intelligent, nor does it make you good at it.
Wealthier: It's easy to make money when you already have money and "the people handleing the money (not G.W.)" are experts at making more money.
Vision: This is what a hardcore bush supporter would say. My opinion, Tunnel vision, with lots of $$$$ and ass kissing at the end of the tunnel.
Milionaire: See above:Wealthier
Owning a baseball team: WFT! All that takes is money. See also above:Wealthier
Governer of Texas: Um let's see, Made lot's of money in the oil business + Texas is practically floating on oil + Long standing family background in politics = and the survey says........Governer of Texas. NFS.
The above and below statements are based on my opinions and my opinions alone, Unless of course you agree with them.
Unlike the masses of sheep that seem to have somehow thought it appropriate to vote people like the forementioned into office I have the ability to make my own judgements based on a logical thought process and not by just what I'm told by other sheep of the like. Using my this process I came to the conclusion.......Not to vote, PERIOD.
Sterling Archer: Oh my god! You killed a hooker!
Cyril Figgis: Call girl!
Sterling Archer: No Cyril! When they're dead they're just hookers!

With W., we keep our freedoms and our guns.

I agree with you on the Vision thing...but I don't think he was entirely to blame for the slow response in N.O. Lots of blame to go around and most of it is probably uncalled for, its easy to dish it out in hindsight.
Actually, I believe Bush managed to run two oil companies to the point of bankruptcy by his inability to run an oil company....something about not being able to find any oil in Texas.
By not voting, you really just gave up your right to bitch about any decisions. No one political figure is going to be right about everything. The best that they can do is do what they THINK is going to be the right thing and hope that it is. I honestly think that Bush does just that. I may not agree that he did the right thing, but I think that he honestly believes he is doing the right things or attempting to do the right things. I have a lot of respect for him in this regard, however I think that he so caught up in presenting a "I don't make mistakes" image that he is afraid to make changes to his plans as the situations change.

You seem to be forgetting the fore fathers who established these rights and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers that died to protect them many many years befor he was born.

Nope, no sarcasm besides the part about the patriot act protecting freedoms.

Ichiban-
The fact remains he graduated from college. Have you? He has experience running a state, baseball team, and many businesses. Have you? Do you honestly think that it doesnt take vision to become president......you make it sound so easy. He might have a lot in his favor, but that is why not everyone with money and charisma makes the top office. He has made some smart moves to become president. I just cant see how you can think he is an idiot. If i had to choose who was a bigger idiot bush or yourself, I would choose you. Same if we compared him with me or anyone else on this board. He may not make the best decisions or be the best public speaker, but if any of us were presidents we would have people saying the same thing about us. I would be willing to bet that half the people who think he is an idiot do worse stuff themselves. Who would be the idiot then? I guess it does not matter who is president, he will be called an idiot by a bunch of idiots who think they can run the country better.

Fair enough statement there Brian. How about if I go on record saying that while he may have more vision than me and may have more of an aptitude for running a country than me, he is still one of the dumbest presidents we have ever had in office? No, on second thought I still think he's an idiot, if he didn't have his political handlers we'd (somehow) be in worse shape than we are now (generally speaking, no one event referenced here). Anyone ever hear his speech on what sovereignty means to him? Kinda funny, google it and have a nice laugh at his inability to answer a basic question. Just because someone is book smart doesn't mean that they are smart or do logical things. Some of the biggest idiots I know were 4.0 students in college.
Being elected to public office, while not easy, isn't real hard assuming you don't have too many skeletons in your closet and usually it comes down to who can repeat their bullet points most convincingly. The Republican sound machine (Rush, Hannety, etc...) is phenomonal. They are very good at damage control and always seem to find a way to blame Clinton for everything that is happening now (admittedly he may be to blame for some things). I blame the media (right wing and left wing) for royally fucking up the political process. Listen to 2 different talk radio shows and you'll hear the same topics only with different people to blame for the same problem. Its too bad that their aren't more (any) straight down the middle as they see the issues type of talk show hosts. Its actually too bad we even have talk show hosts really as they all seem to be pushing an agenda.
I can give you a recap of the two major Left and Right wing talk shows for the past two years:
Rush: "Bush can do no wrong and shame on you for questioning him"
Schultz: "Bush is an incompetent idiot who hasn't done one positive thing for this country since he stole the election in 2000" -
Oh, by the way, no I don't think I could run the country better than he is, but I do think the person I voted for could have.

id·i·ot ( P )
n.- A foolish or stupid person.
- A person of profound mental retardation having a mental age below three years and generally being unable to learn connected speech or guard against common dangers. The term belongs to a classification system no longer in use and is now considered offensive.
There is the definition. He may have done foolish things or something stupid, so he could be an idiot, but then everyone in this world would be one. I am in the middle and am sick of us bashing our leader everytime we get a chance. He is not against the United States, he is for us. The whole basis of him being an idiot is that he screwed up in some speeches and didnt respond fast enought to a city wiped out by a hurrican and then flooded for two straight days. What and idiot!?! But all in all he is less of an idiot compared to most of the USA
