Major Peculiarity of the Bushist Regime

[BurtWorm]

We all know the Bush boy is a twit royale (insert obligatory nod to his alleged political "skills" as supposed evidence he's not a total moron), but he was sold during the campaign as someone who had resolve--and this was supposed to be a good thing, even when what he was sticking to was demonstrably idiotic, like the war in Iraq, and then the date for Iraqi elections. I think they are now painted into a serious corner on this resolve thing. I don't think they have any problem sticking to any policy no matter how stupid or dangerous. They just demonstrated this recently when Bush insisted that he would rather mortgage the next seven generations rather than raise payroll taxes a little bit to provide a simple fix for Social Security, because that would make him appear "unresolved" on blowing a third of the public retirement fund on the stock market--which will be taking a dive when investors realize the consequences of the government's borrowing trillions of dollars to make the Bush boy look "resolved"--like he said he would. The Bush boobs in the "heartland" just love it when Bush sticks to his guns even as he's shooting himself and every one around him in every limb. They think it makes him a "man." So even though the Bush boy is essentially a lame duck, the Bushists will not be changing this game plan as it seems to buy them a nice big fat constituency of suckers. They may have to feed Bush with idiotic policy to stick to, as he can't be trusted to come up with it himself, but once it's in Bush's pea brain, the bee won't budge.

Now here's the problem for them: what if Bush keels over and dies between now and the next inaugural day? It's not entirely unlikely, given what a target of revulsion they've made him. And who knows what this job is doing to his delicate lazy-assed constitution? So he really might die any day now in the next couple of years, and then what? Will they try to make us believe that Cheney has that same idiot's resolve? With Cheney, the whole chemistry changes. He's not God's chosen. He could even beat Bush in the race to the worms (no relation).

So, you see, they have to hope Bush stays alive so when all hell finally breaks loose to the point that the media actually can't paper it over with stories about murder trials and brawls between fans and professional athletes, the faithful can still be counted on to admire the Bush boy's continuing resolve.

1. i don't think bush is a twit boy

i think he's a very intelligent sociopath that has risen to the top as the result of a decades long plan that we will never fully understand, with a well coordinated mass media assault, aided and abetted by corporate news and the segment of the population that is easily coerced by hate, fear, and egocentrism.

the last thing i want is for him to die. then they'll enthrone him forever on our money. that would suck even more than the next four years will.

i would rather bite the bullet, be prepared for massive inflation, a draft, actual terrorism (not the CIA and mossad events in NY), and a wrecked government, just to see 59 million people pull the plug out of the back of their heads and wake up.

when john-boy and billy-bubba-joe get drafted to go fight in fallujah, their mee-maw's and pawpaw's are gonna have somethin' to say about it. and i reckon it won't be good. mebbe' they'll even turn off the tv an' start thinkin'

2. No evidence whatsoever

that he's "very intelligent"; sociopathic or otherwise. The evidence however is very good that he's a psychopathic liar.

3. good point

i had heard that he was intelligent; that wouldn't surprise me, i am by no means lauding him, but i am starting to believe that this guy is a master manipulator that convinced half the registered voters in this country that he's roscoe p coltrane, and convinced the other half he's divine. the wedge thing always works: it couldn't be that coincidental that half were saying "he's picking his nose" and the other half were saying "he's picked by god"
at this point, i can no longer believe that he's barney fief with an array of handlers and puppeteers.

i think this guy is the real thing. i know everybody here posts "fascist, fascist, fascist" and they are so close, yet so far away. i think what we actually have is a brilliantly twisted sicko, who has surrounded himself with the best, brightest, and most unscrupulous, to continue the path that Sr., LBJ, and the Reagan, Carter and Kennedy cabinet started. What it is, I don't know. But it exists: Ed Ball/St. Joe, the S&L scandals with all the middle eastern investors - tied right in to BCCI and Iran-Contra, freemasonry, the rise of the police state, wars, defense contractors, the middle east again, land deals, pharmaceuticals....it's a 5000 piece floral puzzle, and we have a few of the outside pieces to start with.

and i think our little dry-drunk, "pull the wings off flies" president is just as much an active part of an ongoing 40 or more year conspiracy, not the chauffer. but we can't disregard him as a dumb-dumb and assume it's the people he surrounds himself with.

5. Low cunning more than intelligence

characterizes his thinking and that of all the Bushes.

7. Oh, he's not that dumb , but he is a dummy.

Groomed and chosen years ago to be a puppet with an earpiece. None of his 'ideas' are original, and the brilliant but utterly evil criminals surrounding him were either picked by his father, and/or are the same batch of criminals behind the old man.

And don't forget- the reason he won this and the last election is simply because they were rigged, with MSM complicity that goes back years. Smart or dumb, puppet or not. A dried dog turd would have won with that backing, and Jesus Christ himself would have lost.

8. none of his ideas are original, that's why i think they are willing

to do anything, like hijacking airplanes..., to get this same group of people back in the whitehouse over and over again. baker III, rumsfeld, armitage, etc.

it can't be "just" oil, money, and global hegemony: they're already there, and it's too simplistic and blatantly done. i think there is some bigger agenda that we are missing.

i'm not familiar with MSM, enlighten me?

11. MSM = Mainstream Media

aka The Media Borg.

6. and not a particularly good one, at that. nt

9. I'd rather have him on our money than all hell break loose.

If that were the actual choice that is. (He won't be on our money in our life time, unless the Dominionists succeed in forcing a theocracy on us somehow.)

4. his "resolve" will "dissolve"

in January 2009 -- unless they change the constitution and allow him to be selected yet again

what you have to realize is the problems that bush* has created to date WON'T be his problems to fix after 2008 -- the mess will be in someone else's lap

bush* just has to keep his head above water long enough to increase the repug stranglehold on congress through the 2006 midterms, and pump up the hot air long enough to get another repug in the the whitehouse in 2008

I keep flashing back to a story I read during 2000 campaign -- it told of a particular sticky situation regarding bush*'s texas tax cuts while governor -- the way the tax cut was written, there would be some big boomerang bomb that would kick in. bush* was told about it and asked how things should be handled --- bush* shrugged and smirked and said "...won't be my problem..."

10. That's exactly how Bush operates all the time.

Not his problem.
