If or when bu$h is defeated, will he go back to live in Crawford?

[maveric]

Or move back to cushy hotel in Houston?
That ranch is nothing but a front and I cant see him going back there.
Where was his residence before he moved to Crawford?

[swag]

1. He'll go back to Crawford

If he didn't, he would miss digging up the dirt and looking for bugs too much.

[molly]

2. The "ranch" has had lots of "work" - it is a multi-million-dollar

home.

[gmoney]

3. he'll enlist an go fight in Falluja

yeah, right

[agates]

4. I wonder where he'll build

his presidential library? It won't take much space...

[anarchy1999]

6. All he has to do is ask for space in Daddy's at A&M.

Just another God help us all.

[mrbill]

24. mrbill want to bet a hundred bucks at 10-1 that.........

The presidential library with the coloring books will be located at Southern Methodist University, on the east side of the campus overlooking the central expressway canyon.

The houses in that area are toast.

Where will chimpy live? Where's the head office for baseball?

[anarchy1999]

5. God, we hope not. This family has never been from Texas.

Please give us all a break. He hates the farm more that we hate having him there, "clearing the brush", or bike riding. What a dip.

[vetwife]

7. We will never get him out of Cheneys Bunker !

Are you kiddin? Kicking and screaming !

[Dagaz]

8. Oh yea, he's a Texan

41 was really a Northeasterner but W loves his ranch. he won't pull a Clinton and find a new state.

[kohodog]

9. kenybunkport

bwaaaawaaaawaaaa

[KC21304]

10. I think there may be a room waiting at Leavenworth.

If there is real justice in this world.

[AngryLizard]

12. I don't care where he goes

As long as I never, ever have to see him again. Never.Ever.Ever. But I would like to know where he is, so I can avoid going there.

I cannot STAND that man.

[ochazuke]

11. Yes, and he'll start drinking again.

[hlthe2b]

19. if it is a real Kerry landslide, I'll bet he will start drinking again...

and try as I might (and I really am trying) I'm finding it impossible at the moment to feel badly about that prospect....

[spanone]

13. Crawford is a set. He bought it in 1999. So it ain't home.

Maybe he'll move to Alabama and finish his guard duty. Naw.

[Libralabrat]

Hello, now a soldiers opinion

First off, Hiya swag...lol. How is LNF?


With that beiing said. Most soldiers want Kerry to be our next president. That is because Bush is a bonus baby, National Guard string pulling draft dodger.

He looked us in the face after his big photo op landing on the carrier, and said Mission accomplished. I have had two friends wounded since the "mission accomplished".


A shaved chimp would be a better CIC>

[Longhorn]

16. Welcome to DU, Soldier!

Thank you for your service! :toast:

[wellstone_democrat]

20. welcome to DU

plenty of active duty, vets and relatives of vets here as well

[newyawker99]

25. Hi Libralabrat!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[anarchy1999]

21. Thank you, Crawford is a movie set, at stage, this man never wanted

near a ranch, much less a pig farm. It was just a large piece of property that was available and easy to use to make him look like a good 'ole boy. Just another necessary piece in the puzzle of GW.

[mediaman007]

14. The ranch will be up for sale before November 15th

Now Bush* can go back to his alcohol and pretzels. I can't imagine him being a productive as Clinton or Carter. His dad won't want to involve him in the BFEE.

Perhaps he will go from school to school, reading "My Pet Goat."

[Longhorn]

15. He lived in the governor's mansion in Austin before D.C.

It was his father who lived in a hotel in Houston. Before Austin, * lived in the Dallas area, I assume, and before that, Midland, I believe.

But I seriously doubt he'll stay in Crawford. That whole ranch thing is a farce.

[GOPisEvil]

26. His Chimperial majesty lived in the Park Cities in the D/FW area.

My guess is he'll ditch the "ranch" ASAP and get a place in Kennebunkport.

[spooked]

17. A great article about how the "Ranch" is a phony stage

PHONY TO THE CORE: The "Ole Family Ranch" in Crawford is a Set Completed the Same Day the Election was Stolen
By Cheryl Seal

Have you seen all those article and pictures of Bush "at home on the ranch" in Crawford - the ones that imply that he is "just an ole ranch hand" more comfortable on the family homestead than in the "Big City," be it Austin or D.C.? Well, if you bought this image, you've been royally snuckered. The Bush family homestead in Crawford is nothing more than an elaborate set. The house, built in 2000, was designed to be ready for Bush to step into - like a set awaiting an actor - during the 2000 presidential election. Not only was the "ranch" created in 2000 - so, essentially, was the "town" of Crawford! Before then only about 400 people lived in the area. The Crawford Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture were formed shortly after the ranch was finished.

The 1,600 acres on which the "ranch" sits was purchased in 1999 for an undisclosed price, but it was a helluva lot less than the current real estate agents' appraisal of $1.2 million. Yep, worth $1.2 million, but G.W. has a sweet deal at the tax appraiser's office, where the property is valued at about $988,000. Oh, and that "homey ole ranch house?" It's actually a 10,000-square-foot single level mansion/compound that won't even be 2 years old until this November! The compound features a swimming pool for daughters Jenna and Barbara, who apparently loudly demanded it - the Bushes call it the girls' "Whining pool." Btw - we hear Bush got a sweet deal on the house construction, (the cost, of course remains undisclosed): the builders came from a religious community in El Mott, Texas. The original completion date of the house was November 7 - election day 2000. In other words, the curtain went up on the set on schedule for "show time." The very timing of this event indicates that Bush was absolutely confident that the election would be successfully engineered in his favor.

The whole idea behind the ranch set, of course, was so that the public could be treated to footage of Bush seeking a quiet "retreat" at the family ranch. Americans would thus assume that the ranch was a rooted family homestead or compound like the one Kennedy's had in Martha's Vineyard or FDR had at Campobello. But when Bush retreated into his "homestead" in November, 2000, he was merely walking onto a prepared set upon which the paint had barely dried, let alone even the barest of roots put down! When we see photos of Bush bombing around the ranch in his leather jacket in his "ole pickup," supposedly knowing every tree and bush - it's all pure fantasy! If Bush knows every tree and bush after actually spending, all told, a total of about 2 months on the ranch (if you put the odd days end to end) since it was bought, then I''d like to know when he found time to hold all those endless Crawford press conferences! Seems to me he'd be way too busy introducing himself to trees and bushes.

Until Bush and handlers decided that a rural ranch would be a slick bit of PR for the presidential campaign, Bush had no interest in a "home on the range." Instead, his preferred weekend retreat was to the Rainbo Club, an exclusive lakeside hunting club in Henderson County, about an hour south of Dallas, much closer to the comforts of Austin. When a Bush run for president began to look like a pretty good bet, the 1,600 acres were bought and the Bushes started making weekend trips to a 60-year-old ranch house that existed on the property - not of course, before refurbishing it! - so they could build the "lore" that would take in the American public, hook, line and sinker.

18. A Potemkin ranch.

Phony to the core, just like its owner.

[anarchy1999]

23. And here you go, for a "birds eye view".

I'll probably have a knock on my door tomorrow for this but here it is:

Go and have some fun.

33. "the Whining Pool"

Gosh, what darlings those Bush girls sound like! And what marvelous parents they have, to have brought them up so well!

[Swamp Rat]

22. It doesn't matter where he goes. His legacy will be:

the worst president in U.S. history and the most hated man worldwide of the 21st century. He is going to drink himself to death.

[niceypoo]

27. he bought the "Ranch" as a prop

during the 2000 election.

[mrbill]

28. the lone star trust bought the ranch as a prop

that farm/ranch isn't in chimpy's name.

[kskiska]

32. Like the Reagans

They've never owned their own home since Ronnie was governor. Nancy refused to live in the Victorian Governor's Mansion in Sacramento, so a bunch of rich buddies purchased a more suitable house for them to occupy that suited Nancy's tastes. After the White House, buddies bought them a house in Bel-Air that Nancy still lives in.

[ChickMagic]

29. The word around town

is that he plans to move to Dallas. Pickles' family lives here. I can't stand the thought of sharing the bad air here with him.

[derby378]

34. I don't fancy Jenna driving our streets...

...sticking her tongue out at everyone she cuts off while she barrels down to Gator's in the West End.

[kodi]

30. No, no. There is a comfy little room awaiting him at the Hague

bush is a war criminal and should be treated as such.

[RobertDevereaux]

31. I second that! n/t

35. What's wrong with Guantanamo?

Perfectly nice hoods they have there.
