Geesus-h-kay-rist....Do the People Realize What is Going On??
Read an article in my local paper taken from the national press. It says that political scholars say that Bush has done more power grabbing and consolidating power into his own hands than any president in US history...ever!! It's one thing if Lincoln or FDR or some such president did this. BUT this is the hands-down, most goddamn stupid, drug and booze brain-fried, ignorant puppet that ever occupied the office. AND it's the only president that was never elected in the first place (perhaps a reason he has no respect for the constitution, the people or the government??). And now we are on the verge of dumping the whole shittin' caboodle into the hands of this flunky. How ignorant can this nation be?? Is this who people want to determine their future?? He detests M/M America and thinks all (blue and white collar) should be busted to the ranks of peon so that his billionaire friends can stuff more money into their back pockets. He's dumping the whole financial burden of this country on the working people and letting off the rich. And this is the clown that they want to give MORE power to?? Hopefully, the children of these American morons will have such a bleak future that they will stage one mother of an anti-establishment revolt in this nation and detest the parents that sentenced them to no future.

10. Yes, that's very helpful.
I'll look for it when I get on my wide and fast surfboard (I use dial-up from my home in the Sticks)
Thanks!

6. Historians are wrong...
Ford was the only President that was never elected. Before the Shrub, that is.

8. Ford was elected as VP
Edited on Mon May-23-05 06:41 PM by Gilligan
Under Nixon...

If you want to go that way into history you have forgotten LBJ and all the other vice presidents who took over for assassinated presidents and the ones who died in office...
McKinley, Garfield, Lincoln, Roosevelt (FDR) - (natural causes)
Harrison (died of pneumonia) and Zac Taylor - all presidents who bit the dust in office -- If I missed anyone, sorry.

12. By God, you are correct!
How soon we forget...

I guess it may be a case of senility...

I am happy to be corrected!

Thanks-
