I am not opposed to “Dubya” for his conservative mentality as much as for his astounding inarticulation, ineptitude and immaturity.
I will admit my own behavior on the SDMB and in real life is not always mature and sophisticated. However, I am not the President of the United States either. I expect a US President to behave in a manner much more befitting the highest office in America.
I disagreed with President Ronald Reagan on a great many political issues, but he spoke well and behaved in a dignified manner. I remember after the Challenger disaster, President Reagan made a short speech late that afternoon concerning the tragedy. Granted, he couldn’t bring back those 7 lives, but his words conveyed the sorrow and also a feeling of hope.
By way of comparison, I cannot think of anything memorable that “Dubya” said on or after September 11, 2001 to reassure the American people. The only reason this guy got to be President is that he “chose” his parents wisely.
I’ll go you one better. Several people here on the Dope would be much better presidents. The only difference is, none of us were born with silver spoons in our mouths. You elect a spoiled frat boy, you get a spoiled frat boy. I could forgive inarticulation, ineptness and immaturity. I will not forgive arrogance, dishonesty and spitefulness.

And just to help out a fellow Doper, here’s how to make superscripts.
To make something like this 10[sup]17[/sup] use these tags as follows 10 <sup>17</sup>
except of course substitute [ for < and ] for >
See, I also hang around GQ where scientific notation comes in handy.

Oh I’ll definitely agree with you on that and I like your inclusion of arrogance, dishonesty and spitefulness.
As I’ve said, Dubya is the spoiled neighborhood brat that got elected to the highest office in the land.
Having not hit bottom, I’m not yet ready to hang it up. I fear what that bottom might be though.
Well, that’s a tough call. Maybe I could, if he would shove Cheney out the door and replace him with HRC or JFK, and then commit seppuku in the Rose Garden, that would go a long way for me.
Zoe? Yoohoo! You wanted a Bush-bashing Monster Mash?
:: sigh ::
Resetting to 00:00 for me.
There was no pretzel.

Danceswithcats: Is it true that if a Republican bites you turn into a Republic? I always mix this stuff up… does garlic keep president Bush at bay, or is it books that do that? Is it the light of the sun or the light of truth which causes Bush Regime members to burst into flames? Does Bush look down on gays, or just the gays who aren’t straight? Does he pander so much as he suckles black worm juice from Satan’s cock?
I’m curious.
Surely our society does not have any problems with how it deals with war…
More importantly, does dicky look like he’s gained weight?
Do you have a problem with how rummy reacted to the news that his puppy had died?
Furthermore, Shrub is not a Nazi.
But he does keep misspelling ‘grand moff’ as ‘grand muff’. Fucker thinks its funny.
But to be fair, rummy took back the position and called no backsies.
No, no no! That’s not part of my Master Plan[sup]TM[/sup].
It’s gonna’ be Condi Rice as Prez with with that guy from the Factor, Bill O’somebody for a VP boy-toy.
Then we’re gonna’ flip the Senate, you’re gonna beat Frist in Tennessee, and Zoe will be Senate Majority Leader. It’s all about BALANCE.
After all that’s done, I’ll relax and go fishin’. 
Well, damn, don’t that beat all! Here we are, red-blooded Americans, being taken to school on Bush-bashing by a goldurn Yurpeen! Now that’s a crying shame, we should eat Amarillo road kill and wash it down with a 6-pack of Coors before we’d let something like that happen!
Ain’t we Americans, don’t we have vast reserves of strategic venom? Where is the American spirit of entreprenuerial invective? You gonna let him get away with that?
Geez Louise! There ain’t nuthing new under the sun! Thanks, ETF! I love the photo that goes with it!
I would agree with you. This isn’t one of them. Review my offer to John Carter of Mars. It wouldn’t be the first time I have voted for a Republican – although never for President before.
There are far worse things in this world than being juvenile. Among some of the worst possible things to be if you are the President of the United States is vengeful, gullible, short-sighted, selfish, cowardly, shallow, stubborn, inarticulate, ignorant, and cocky.
And he lies.
**And he has an agenda.[/2]
Oooh! I just previewed and have delicious links to follow!
Sorry, JC. Stanford needs Rice more than we do. How about McCain and Kerry?
"How about McCain and Kerry?
Nah, I gotta’ get Homegirl in the whitehouse. Hey! Condi & Kerry. That’s even got a ring to it.
Headline: “Condi and Kerry carry the Country.” Or somethin’. :eek:
“Kerry Me Back to Old Virgin…”
Good grief. It’s after 1:00 am and I just snorted a Bloody Mary. Quit that, luci or I will start using smilies.
Who’s Yurpeein? Let’s just hammer them with WMD claims and call ‘em a bunch a freedom hatin’ cheese eatin’ surrender monkey girly men. Goldurn furriners.
Nixon’s approach requires intellectual discipline.
And patience.
W lacks both.
As to why we are “cluttering up the forum” or whatever–that’s what it’s there for. Threads. What would you like to see on the front page of the Pit?
(on second thought–don’t answer that!)
Now for the 12 steps. Can’t. I’m a renegade basher in deep denial.
B-bashers, repent!
Methinks he should spread the good news and make the same speech in the middle of downtown Baghdad.
Red Fury, thanks for the good news! Mission accomplished, I guess…
John Carter of Mars, here’s an idea: McCain and Tuberville?
(I hope that you don’t mind if I point out for some our Northern friends that you are a Conservative male from Alabama supporting a Black female for President of the United States. You are screwing with some of their stereotypes.)
Actually, it might be interesting to see what she is like out from under Dubya’s thumb. But I’d rather see her at work with a more moderate leader first.
