Looks like you went to Michael Moorer's movie? If the post wasn't so funny, it'd be hilarious. I am still looking forward to seeing Kerry's divorce records!

Bush will win by 4 points. I am only telling you this now so you have the next 3 months to prepare yourself. I don't want it to come as a shock.

Whatever happened to the 3 million jobs that Kerry was whining about only 2 months ago? Oh, I know, the truth came out that another 1.5 million have already been added back. What you guys seem to forget is that 9/11 caused the loss of most of the jobs. That and the internet bubble which created lots and lots of paper millionaires.

During the CLinton years, everybody was taught about easy money and decided to live their lives above and beyond their means. That is why you see the bankruptcies and foreclosures. That and the change in the bankruptcies laws have encouraged people to "file early" to take advantage of the less strict laws now on the books.

I could go through that "thesis" line by line and debunk everything in it.

:eek2: I'm in shock. I'm with ya on this one.

It's very few times I see a political opinion I agree w/ 100%.

Pretty funny resume though. :)
 
I couldn't resist piling on... :ban:

Worst president in history?


(The following appeared in the Durham, NC local paper as a letter to the editor.)

Liberals claim President Bush shouldn't have started this war.
They complain about his prosecution of it.
One liberal recently claimed Bush was the worst president in U.S. history.

Let's clear up one point: President Bush didn't start the war on terror.
Try to remember, it was started by terrorists BEFORE 9/11.
Let's look at the "worst" president and mismanagement claims.

FDR led us into World War II.
Germany never attacked us: Japan did.
From 1941-1945, 450,000 lives were lost,
an average of 112,500 per year.

Truman finished that war and started one in Korea.
North Korea never attacked us.
From 1950-1953, 55,000 lives were lost,
an average of 18,333 per year.

John F. Kennedy started the Vietnam conflict in 1962.
Vietnam never attacked us.
Johnson turned Vietnam into a quagmire.
From 1965-1975, 58,000 lives were lost,
an average of 5,800 per year.

Clinton went to war in Bosnia without UN or French consent.
Bosnia never attacked us.
He was offered Osama bin Laden's head on a platter three times by Sudan and did nothing.
Osama has attacked us on multiple occasions.
Over 2,900 lives lost on 9/11.

In the two years since terrorists attacked us,
President Bush has liberated two countries,
crushed the Taliban, crippled al-Qaida,
put nuclear inspectors in Lybia, Iran and North Korea without firing a shot,
captured a terrorist who slaughtered 300,000 of his own people.
We lost 600 soldiers, an average of 300 a year.
Bush did all this abroad while not allowing another terrorist attack at home.

Worst president in history? Come on!

The Democrats are complaining about how long the war is taking, but...


It took less time to take Iraq
than it took Janet Reno to take the Branch Davidian compound.
That was a 51 day operation.

We've been looking for evidence of chemical weapons in Iraq for less time
than it took Hillary Clinton to find the Rose Law Firm billing records.

It took less time for the 3rd Infantry Division and the Marines to destroy the Medina Republican Guard
than it took Teddy Kennedy to call the police after his Oldsmobile sank at Chappaquiddick.

It took less time to take Iraq
than it took to count the votes in Florida!!!!
 
I've always enjoyed political posts on car boards. The key is to keep it non-personal. A good example of that is on Fox. Oh, I know, Fox, the Horror. But on Hannity and Colmes, they go after each but they don't do it in a mean-spirited way. Hopefully this forum can help to increase the thinking on both sides of the aisles.

Keep it clean. Do some :Fand have some fun. No personal attacks and try to keep it as factual as possible (I know that may be impossible for some viewpoints, LOL.). Personal opinions are not only permitted but encouraged.

I agree with the humor in the post. That is why i said it was pretty hilarious. I didn't say truthful. My wife only works a day or so a week and I regret her going to work. She comes home with all the liberal garbage. Bush is taking overtime away from us. Bush is stopping kids from going to nursing school, etc. etc. I have to spend a 1/2 hour debunking each piece planted in her head just to get her back on the right track and to keep her from slitting her wrists with all the misery she is told is around us. Try living in a 3rd world country if you want to see misery. I've been there. Even the lower and middle class in America live like kings compared to the rest of the 3rd world.
 
Wow, I was just dropping it in for a laugh. With as in depth as you can get into the politics and who is the best candidate, it is nice to sit back and laugh at it a little bit. But at least a nice conversation has come of it. :)
 
This "resume" is just another internet exaggeration that has been going around for a while. Snopes.com gives a short explanation and a couple of links for those who actually want to waste their time with it. The resume is very clever, though, because it has so much information on it that most people will just assume it's true. But it's one big, fat, ugly mud pie thrown at the president to make him look bad. How 'bout trying to make Kerry look good instead of making Bush look bad?
 
Josh, thanks for posting that. It pretty much looks like the Democratic platform for the upcoming convention. LOL. No harm intended to you in any way. Thanks for posting it.

Like I said, it was good for a laugh. Both sides can take things to the extreme. That is where the humor comes in. Conspiracy theorists are the best. That is what made Clinton so much fun. Turn around is fair play.

Kbob, I agree with you. I wish I knew at least one thing the Democrats are proprosing to improve things. All anybody who says they are voting for Kerry says is that they hate Bush. I just want to see something of substance instead of the hate mongering. Then we can have a discussion on the merits.

You guys make me want to put warnings on some of this stuff! It's in "The Bar" and not in "Politics & Current Events" for a reason. Everyone relax, I have my own personal opinion about the election too. I just don't care to share it. If you can not deduce that this "résumé" is a joke and contains misinformation, I am truly appologetic...if you decide to vote. I'd hate to think our next leader would be chosen by ignoramuses that can't tell fact from fiction.

How true, very true... from BOTH 'sides'.
 
Hey Josh, this thread may have been moved, then, cause this is the politics forum. Don't think that I don't love a good joke at Bush's expense. Watching SNL right after Bush was elected, Will Farrell was playing Bush and he was hilarious. He'd say with a straight face: "compassionate conservatism", then crack up. Then he'd say: "Dick Cheney", then he'd crack up again and say "I just said Dick". You just had to be there, but take my word for it, it was a riot.
 
Truman finished that war and started one in Korea.
North Korea never attacked us.
From 1950-1953, 55,000 lives were lost,
an average of 18,333 per year.
This is untrue.... North Korea started the war by attacking S. Korea. Truman didn't start the war there. You could say we carried on the Korean war. Essentialy we joined in to help S. Korea, and to prevent the "spread" of Communism, the same reason we joined in Vietnam...
 
I moved the post because I thought it would be more appropriate in the politics section because I didn't know it was posted as comic relief until I emailed Josh. If you guys would like it moved back to the BAR and have some posts removed, let me know. I wouldn't mind seeing a thread consisting of lots of politcal comedy. Some of the cartoonists are really great at taking serious subjects and playing with them. So, however you guys feel, let me know. This site is all the members that choose to participate here. Ask and within reason, you shall receive. Thank you.
 
So who would drive a Lincoln or a Cadillac
Bush? Kerry?

But if you are the president you don't get to drive. :steering: Always someone doing it for you. I wander if Bush pardoned his driving records from Texas LOL.​

Ok here we go Bush vs Kerry in a 1/4 mile. I think Bush might have the edge here. Something tells me that he's had some wild times as a youth.

Remember all the trouble his daughters use to get into when he first became president! Party Animals - and I am not talking about Political Parties.

I bet they have a good time at the Republican convention.
 
Either way this is going to be a very sensitive election. More than I am used to (which does not say too much im only 22). Bush seems to be quite intent on his beliefs and is not swayed by anyone even if it is stepping on some toes. It seems as though he may have stepped on some toes.

Remember there are two things you should never bring up in casual conversation

religion, and politics

(that last part was a sarcastic joke and lesson for me with the girlfriends family that involved yelling and unpleastantaries)

oh yeah and i made up a new word. unpleasantaries
 
I hate politics just for this reason. Every war we've ever engaged in has either been over religion or political beliefs. So lets see, no religion + no politics = no war


BTW The presidential limo has always been Cadillac

A lot more than that is wrong, man. Have you read any of the rest of the post? It's a joke. :p

Yea, it got moved. Not a problem. I just didn't want anyone getting their panties in a bunch over a joke. I think it has moved on from just a joke, and opened some decent conversation, so this forum is better suited for it now.

Like I said above, I think it has moved on from just a joke, and opened some decent conversation, so this forum is better suited for it now. This has turned into a pretty good talk, and any other "laughable" additions I would greatly enjoy. Thanks for helping to keep things moving along, man.
