Bush just said: "Businesses are putting patriotism ahead of profits"

[Solly Mack]

in his speech to military families in Nampa Idaho

August 24, 2005.

Just making a note for history.

1. Oh yeah!.... Halliburton is sacrificing so much

and not taking hardly any profit so our kids are safe and well fed over there, and don't hurt themselves, tripping over all those rose petals..

[Solly Mack]

4. the mind wobbles

and they clapped for this lie too....his audience

[jackstraw45]

2. "I can't stop lying"

Impeach Me, please. I can't stop lying

[Solly Mack]

8. Now there's the truth

[brentspeak]

3. It's a good thing I'm not drinking a hot beverage

I'd snarf myself 2nd degree burns.

[Solly Mack]

7. I was drinking....

and swallowed painfully hard...

[Al-CIAda]

[tanyev]

6. The oil companies are going to donate all of their record profits?

:rofl:

[Solly Mack]

10. Yeah, that's must be what he meant lololololol

[Roland99]

22. Who do you think is going to fund those NCLB unfunded mandates?

Why, ExxonMobil, Unocal, etc.


Why, what generous corporate citizens!

[jackstraw45]

9. Bush: "Gravity is a myth created by Satan"

And the hand-picked crowd goes WILD!

:eyes:

[Solly Mack]

14. I wouldn't be surprised if that happened

[tridim]

12. Check out the backdrop

"Honor and Dignity" & "Fighting for Freedom" over and over and over.. Is he saying he still represents "honor and dignity"? You've got to be kidding.

[Solly Mack]

13. just noticed that....unreal

Bush was right about one thing...he IS nothing but a media creation

[flakey_foont]

15. did he say in which country?

[Solly Mack]

16. LMAO!!!

[Sydnie]

18. ROFL!!! n/t

[Adams Wulff]

17. LIAR!!!

The oil companies in this country just posted $7.7 BILLION in pure PROFIT in this last QUARTER!!!
Then there's this:
http://www.globalpolicy.org/security/oil/2004/0128oilprofit.htm

Table 2 below uses the four variables to estimate potential profits for the oil companies in Iraq. In order to understand the magnitude of these profits, it is useful to know that the worldwide profits of the world’s five largest oil companies in 2002 were $35 billion. Our estimate of the “most probable” annual profits in Iraq are $95 billion, three times this sum! Total company profits in Iraq, over time, would be an enormously large sum – ranging from a low of about $600 billion to a high of about $9 trillion.
Click on the link to see table 2.

and this:
http://reid.senate.gov/gasprices0504.cfm

"The big oil companies control the supply, and they know that families really have little choice in the matter ... they literally have consumers over a barrel.

While consumers were paying record prices, the oil companies were reaping record profits.

The first quarter profits for the big oil companies were recently released. What a shock - the refining and marketing profits of the big four oil companies have increased by a staggering amount over one year ago!

BP – up 165%
Chevron-Texaco - up 294%
Conoco-Phillips - up 44%
ExxonMobil - up 125%"

This is "patriotic"? That's the second time this week this word was bastardized in the media and from the administration. Is there any doubt that they are using the same playbook?

[Solly Mack]

19. I know. It was truly a "moment of zen" for TDS

[SalmonChantedEvening]

20. I'm guessing the businessmen are laughing themselves SILLY

over that line

"We ARE? Wow! we're really something aren't we? Quick! raise the price of gas another 25 cents a gallon, we're patriots!"

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[Solly Mack]

21. Exactly...it's not high price gas..it's patriot gas...it's freedom gas

[SalmonChantedEvening]

24. Garlic gives me more decent gas n/t

[patdem]

23. Did he expound on that bit of wisdom..or just leave the bumper sticker

bullshit to stand alone? I would love to hear an explanation of that and the 'noble cause'...and 'WMD' 'Freeing the Iraqi's'...and now 'the only way to honor those killed is to kill more'? :eyes:

[Solly Mack]

26. He was talking about how businesses in America are

showing more concern for the people and soldiers than their profits...among other things...soldiers aren't being fired for going on deployment...even though stories of that very thing happening are known.

[Solly Mack]

25. Oh, another one...Bush said - MUST READ

"The terrorist Zargawi says 'you're with us or you're our enemy'
and then Bush says "that's why he(Zargawi) will lose because that's his grand vision"

Hello???

you're either with us or against us" ring a bell??????

I'm paraphrasing but that IS what he said

[applegrove]

27. Wow! Did they anti up and agree to pay their fare share for this war?
