Bush FAKES sincerity and warmth better than anyone I've ever seen! |
|
He's on CNN now thanking Americans for contributing to aid of Tsunami relief....I have NEVER seen anyone who can act the part of a caring, compassionate person better than he can....I stress ACT THE PART!!.....:puke:

1. You're giving him too much credit |

I always saw through him, and, obviously, so do you. This has just as much to do with a whorish, slavish sycophantic media and a brain-addled public.

Nobody believes me because he mangles words, but he really gives a great performance. He's adapted the style of evangelical preachers. Just ripped them right off, and he's a good mimic.

11. I don't think so. Reagan was politicall, a good actor, hence his |
|
appeal, but Bush's appeal is something spookier.

Honestly, I can't see anyone falling for his phony "compassionate" BS. :shrug:

5. When I asked my father |
|
what drew him to Bush --- he said he sees honesty.
I almost threw up.

6. It is all an act. He's learned the body language and the words |
|
in order to convince people that he's "one of them," a nice, down-to-earth guy. But you can often see glimmers of his underlying contempt showing through.

10. To me what gives him away is the cruelty in his eyes |
|
There are times when his eyes look like black, bottomless, pits.

9. I don't agree. I think he's terrible at any attempt to act as if he has |
|
empathy for anyone else! Most times his facial expressions and body language are entirely inappropriate.

12. In my day we used to call it being two-faced, a person |
|
who was all smiles and friendliness to your face while he was stabbing you in the back.

13. He might be the best at looking like he is acting. |
|
He is the least best of being convincing of anyone I know.

I don't think he even acts it very well. He's as transparent as Saran Wrap, as fake as my Aunt Dot's fingernails.

15. Bush is a politician. |
|
Is there a more dishonorable profession?
I don't think so. Well, lawyers are close second, used car salespeople are third, preachers are fourth, ...

16. I don't find him at all convincing myself, BUT I am not one of the many |
|
Americans who have a deep psychological need to believe in his goodness. I don't understand them; they don't understand me. We're not using the same parts of our brains... :shrug:
