2. Maybe because he has put this country in peril, and he has not
done one thing good or that works.

4. Beyond being the worst administration ever, they are also the
most evil. You should look at both of these guys' resumes. Anyone else would be doing time in Leavenworth.

We LOVE Bush and Cheney!


Love them so much, some of us are planning on gift-wrapping them and air-dropping them into Fallujah as a gift, a gesture of good-will, from the American people.

A true gift is to give away what you love most :) And this gift would be the ultimate sacrifice on our part ;)

12. I have 3 kids and i'd like them to have a future (more)
- giving money to the wealthy at average taxpayer's expense

- taking us into an unnecessary and tragic war

- taking away our freedoms - in the name of "homeland security"

- deficit

- lost jobs, high unemployment

- that smirk ( both of them )

- inappropriate comments

- I've never been embarrassed to be an American before now

- vacation/fundraising more than he is on the job (maybe this is a good thing.)

- cowboy lingo "bring it on" etc

- won't attend funerals of those who he has condemned to die for his war for oil

- PNAC
- and the list goes on.... and on... and on...

with ethics, compassion, and integrity... who wouldn't sacrifice the lives of human beings for political and financial gain... who think that patriotism requires criticism of political figures... who refuse to ignore injustice...

17. Down? They are doing a marvelous job of protecting our freedom.
And saving us from Weapons of Mass Destruction Program Related Activities. So what if I haven't had a job in months? So what if they are killing thousands of innocent people? They are protecting my rights and freedoms as an American by taking out an evil dictator who had RAPE ROOMS! And none of them have sex.

19. because
they have accelerated a foreign policy that is bringing the world to the brink of unending war, and making the citizens of the us big ass targets for a pissed of world population

because they have accelerated a domestic policy that takes away human right from people, and they have tried to turn all types of legit descent and the people who engage in that descent, into terrorists.

to put it in a nut-shell, real qwik 4 ya

31. That message wasn't directed at you, it was
directed at the original post.

So nice, that you have a job. Don't you wish that the millions of people who lost their jobs in the last few years could be so lucky?

my retort was directed at the ORIGINAL poster.

Oh...I see...you're the guy who thinks you wouldn't be working if it wasn't for "Tax Cuts for The RICH(tm)"

And you have a Master's Degree, too...How sweet. Business Administration, I suppose?.

36. You need to look at the
right side at the top of posts where it says "response to original message" or "reply to post #..." so you won't be confused about which post is responding to which.

37. Well, I, for one, am specially peeved because ...

they backed off on their Moonie-inspired Mars trip;
they've only begun three wars in four years;
and they haven't started enough inconclusive self-investigations.

Others may be grumpy about less important things, but that's my basic 3AM list.
