Ok, you lurking freepers and DUers - Name one positive thing
that * has done as pResident.

It ain't peace and prosperity, that's for sure. And don't give me the lame tax rebates, because if you could really think, you would realize there are no tax cuts. IT'S A LOAN! Paid back to the IRS.

Who the hell gives tax rebates during a war?

To be fair, I will give him one - the Amber Alert! (course they had to twist his arm).

10. Actually, that is his real accent
He grew up in WT during his formative years, and the West Texans talk like that. Doesn't mean they are all dumb or all smell like slop, they just have a twangy accent.

20. Are you from West Texas?
I am, and if you listened to my mother, you would recognize it, especially if you have live away for more than a dozen years

24. born in Lubbock, raised all over...
he's faker than a 3 dollar bill in my book. I think he puts it on, and when I say 'why doesn't he sound like anyone else', I mean his family! I can imitate just about any accent too, but not consistantly over years and years. Listen to sound bites from the Richards debates, different accent. He's a big fraud. I think he's an offense to real texans, like you, your mama, and me!

22. We are discussion accents
he's geniune, and he's very Texan. Only the wild, wild southwest of Texas would accept him and his ilk. I have a brother in law in the Hub of the South Plains that cannot stand any of us Dems.

23. Now I sound Like W
Instead of properly typing "discussing", it reads just like my fellow West Texans or South Plainers prounounce "discussing" as "discussion" meaning talking. :bounce:

25. are you serious?
he's full of shit. Nowhere near a real texan, he's afraid of horses! Texas is full of strong Dem's! Last I looked, the state didn't go 100% to the dark side.

7. Didn't he pay off the debt to the U.N.?
I think that this was right at the beginning of his term; but not being an avid watcher of his (we have to keep our eyes on his troublous poodle over here) I may be mistaken.

Other than that, he's given the whole world a lesson in what not to do as a leader; and has provided much material for comedy script-writers.

16. Why I’m so Proud of President Bush
It takes real courage for a leader to stand up and make the right choices. Only a visionary like President Bush understands that the greater glory of America, and of the hundred families that own this great nation, require sacrifices on the part of the underclasses.
As a classic example, I cite President Bush’s recent decision to eliminate all funds from the Federal Traumatic Brain Injury Act. Some people are whining that the government is denying medical care to wounded veterans of the Iraq war, many of whom have severe head injuries. Yes, of course. That is the point. These shortsighted fools apparently do not see the clear, uncompromising wisdom of the Bush Administration’s action. Very little of this money would go to members of the ownership classes, who stand in desperate need of further tax cuts, and who seldom suffer from brain injuries; almost all of the money would have been wasted on badly damaged veterans who are of no further use to the American Empire.

17. why, why, why . . . he has restored morality and dignity to
the orifice of the prezduncy

he has brung freedom and democracy to all the inferior brown-skinned nonbelievers-in the-*real*-one-true-gawd throughout the entire Middle East. They deserve freedom too, even if they believe in the wrong gawd.

he has put gawdjeezis's name back into our gummint

he has saved our Conomy with his sheer genius and foresight by giving all our money to rich people for safekeeping

he's going to save our future retarment by destroying social security

see! there's one.

27. He's made it possible, I think
not to run again in 2008.

(that is unless he concocts something to justify eliminating the presidential term limit amendment, or say the 1st term didn't count because he was selected and not elected.)
