None of these behaviors of Smirky's surprise me in the least.IMO it is totally in character for him .The thing that continues to bother ,bewilder and boggle my mind is that a significant amount of people bought into his insanity and some continue to do so .Aren't his approval ratings still over 50% in Texass and the deep South?What he has managed to do is destroy my faith in the good judgement of quite a few Americans.

I dislike him intensely but not because he swears and flips the bird--Tori Amos does that when she doesn't like something, and she gets thunderous applause (and I think she's pretty cool). Bush should continue to be criticized for his decisions, not necessarily for his personality or the "colorful" way he chooses to express himself (although it is telling). Anyway, I'm rambling.

I don't hold Tori Amos to the same standard as the leader of the free world.
That said, President Johnson used to hunt from the back seat of his Lincoln Continental with his rifle and a plastic cup of scotch between his legs. Nixon used to talk to the portraits of former presidents. And I'm sure everybody's heard the stories about Kennedy and the White House pool. At least Johnson, Nixon and Kennedy were capable of leading.
In Nixon's final days, the "football" that contains the codes for a nuclear attack were taken from Nixon because he was deemed unstable. I'm thinking Bush never had the codes.

Nationally, Bush is polling LOWER than Nixon at the time his articles of impeachment were being drawn (about 1 percentage point).

I guess in a way I feel a bit sorry for him...he is doing what he thinks is right and doesn't he have a right to think the nation wants it too? I mea more than half of the country did still re-elect him.

I don't agree with Bush, but I think this kind of muck is excruciatingly painful to read because it is totally vague and slanderous.

WRONG! the voting machines were tampered with, people were prevented from voting...Ohio was the 2nd Florida and I cant believe more people arent PISSED about it. Diebold manufactured this win, and the first time, the Supreme Court handed it to him. He's NEVER been my president, hes a USURPER, a Poseur, a POD PRESIDENT. I loathe him. I despise him. I wish I had my own bull**** protectors. I throw mental tomatoes and catbox offal at him daily. He is singlehandedly the WORST thing to EVER happen to this country, bottom line.

What I just don't understand is that why if there is all this uproar was he re-elected?(ok maybe I shouldn't use that term but I will) What I am trying to say is that like or not when you vote for someone you vote for their policies...
I also don't think that it is right regardless of who you are for their to be totally unverified allegations of mental instability being directed towards you.

Tynan, he WASNT reelected. he was GIVEN that win. For the first time in my life I am EXTREMELY unhappy that more Dems didnt stand up and HOWL about the skullduggery that went on with those freaking machines in Ohio. Those GOP stragegists are brilliant, they knew which state to target and went right in and saw to it by hook or by crook that W would again seize the White House. Those machines had been set to default a vote for Bush and even when people voted for Kerry, they saw their vote registered as "Bush". Something rotten here.

I will forever have major respect for Representative Conyers and Barbara Boxer and that other Congresswoman from Ohio for being the ONLY Dems with BALLS enuff to demand an inquiry.

Sorry...I totally understand that you don't think he won...pfft...I wouldn't vote for him LOL, and I (along with 2/3 of the world) were pretty apalled to see him back in office (elected or not) but the main point I am making is that they are pretty hard accusations being made, and I just can't see how it is right for anyone to be subjected to such totally (at least in this article) baseless facts.

In our English classes we are taught to provide examples to help back up our case, all this story is is hear say, and slanderous hear say at that, and I don't think anyone should have that against them...you know it doesn't come down to political alliance and I am sure he has done it to other people, all I want to say is that I don't think it is right in any case.

I can tell you that there is proof positive that Bush flipped off journalists as it was caught on camera and a picture still from the film clip was posted on this forum. the title was "Bush flips off media"


as for the "baseless" accusations, since we know that part is true, I believe the rest is as well. I find it highly believeable that Monkey Boy is losing his cool now that the proof of his idiocy is glaringly apparent. He is an arrogant jerk who is drunk with power (at the very least). I couldnt hate him more for what he's done to this country and he isnt finished yet..........

Did they? Or was there voter fraud that was never discovered; or discovered and covered up?
