George Bush: Worst American president in history



Recommended Posts

Morsaille: Please continue posting. I've been reading all this and am seriously depressed. Reading about your cousin made me giggle.

I agree....best post in the whole damn thread.

Great post, Morsaille. I fear that you are preaching to the choir, however.

Like your clueless cousin, Bush supporters will simply turn a blind eye to any evidence that does not glorify and support their man's snake oil show.

It breaks my heart to see how this man has taken advantage of the trust so many have placed in him. He does not care a fig about the average American. He does not care about children, or the poor, or the elderly. His agenda is to enrich the wealthy, and if the only way to do that is at the expense of the lower and middle classes, then that's fine with GWB. He simply does not care.

I agree wholeheartedly that GWB does NOT care about this nation!! I have a paper my friend wrote around here somewhere that compares his ideology with that of Hitler's...I will post as soon as I find it.

Peace Out

Yes, and Bush haters will simply NOT find anything to like about the man, no matter how many times anyone here posts their reasons for supporting him! There is not even respect for the differences in our beliefs, just sarcasm---so disappointing. We supporters can post as many articles FOR Bush as you all can post AGAINST him. But what would be the point, at this point?

This is the reason this smilie was created::deadhorse:

I am tired of flogging.... knock yourselves out, guys.

I agree as well but I am keeping very quiet these days. This is because I did totally and completely lose it the other evening.:think (Green has anger issues when it comes to dealing with people who have 'dealing with the facts' denial problems.)

Bravo to Morsaille!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Bravo, Bravo to Morsaille!! I agree with Carlene - best darned post - but I'd go so far as to say in any thread!

For Bush supporters to deny that the Morsaille post is true could only be because of lack of exposure or just plain ignorance of the facts. I have lived it every day for the past 34 years, with a gap of four prior to that, and then the 3 years prior to that. TOM should jump on this bandwagon. He's seen the numbers and studied it over the years too.

All of the economics is bad... really bad. But the worst part and the part that we just can't get around is the DEATH and INJURIES of American soldiers!!!!! How in the blinking hell can George W. Bush sleep at night? I'm afraid he sleeps like a baby.

Green: Give yourself a break. We all get pushed to the limit here from time to time. I frankly appreciated the fact that you became that passionate and engaged in the discussion. It honestly doesn't seem possible that there are still people around who do continue to flog the horse about George Bush's fine attributes and sterling decisions. I guess they've all bought into the idea that Bush is the "decider." You know what Forest Gump says... stupid is as stupid does. Run Forest, run!

Hey, I tried. But you have to remember, the B&$%#@* was governor of Texas before he set his sights on the White House. So my opinion of GWB goes back a LONG way, and with with good reason.

There is not even respect for the differences in our beliefs, just sarcasm---so disappointing.

This statement is absolutely not true. Just because we don't respect the shrub does not mean we don't respect you, and your right to support him. You shouldn't take our Bush bashing personally. It is not directed at you.

We supporters can post as many articles FOR Bush as you all can post AGAINST him.

No, I don't think so. The majority of the posters here are not Bush supporters, just like the majority of Americans these days. His popularity is WAY down. In the cellar down. And he earned every bit of it.

I'm about to post something I know you guys are going to love but it has to be said. the reason Clinton had so much of a surplus (in my opinion not a surplus. If there is still a national debt there is no surplus.But anyway) The reason is Because he was still running off 12 years of regeanomics.

when you support big business, by taxs breaks it causes more jobs because they have more capital and on goes the economy. And so goes our current economy.

I could only read half of the rhetoric in Moresailles post. but from what I read it seems to say dod spending is up and rich are geting richer and the poor left out.

which may be right. but you left out the whole thing about unemployment is going down and economy getting stronger( And for the record the last year of clintons era we were heading in to a recession) This President Has had plenty to deal with. War, financial strains from 911 (9 months in office) many natural disasters But the economy still is going up.

Sorry 396power, I disagree. Reganomics, pseudonomics...simply a way to fatten the wallets of big business.

Peace Out,

396: Don't you remember how Clinton closed military bases? How he redirected a big portion of the defense budget to domestic programs? Why are you saying that our economy was good under Reagan? Mostly it wasn't! Bill Clinton and that Congress worked hard to figure out a way out of the debt we were in and they managed to do that. He didn't inherit a good governmental set of economic standards from Reagan.

Your comments help me to understand where you're coming from in your support of Republicans and Dubya.

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
