bush bashing and politics |
Why do we have to listen to all this Bush bashing when he will never be
president again? So far all I have heard is whining and bitching and moaning
about Bush. Why don't these people do something constructive like come up
with a solution to the problem or is that is far too difficult for them?
Instead of bashing Bush, why not work on finding a good democratic candidate
and extolling his virtues. 2008 isn't all that far off.

Well, he can dictate his whims with the full force of the law.

Maybe so, but I certainly don't see YOU demanding that he be tried. I
don't see anyone making an appointment to see either an Asst. US Attorney
or a US attorney to discuss the matter. Make an appointment to see a Asst.
US Atty. When you do, would you please provide a transcript of the
conversation? i am most interested in what he or she has to say about the
matter.
I know...let's impeach him! It was fun the last time we impeached a
president. I do love the end results we had from Clinton's proceedings.

Where are the filing of the lawsuits? Where are the criminal charges?
Where is there any legal action being drawn? There isn't any. Why? Lazy
whining jerks just want to ***** like a bunch of old ladies.

That is the lamest excuse I have heard so far. Your attitude is quite
pathetic. What is wrong with you? Was grade school was an eternity times
two? High school was an eternity too? College another eternity? So far
we are up to 4 eternities.

Take it literally if you wish, but watching an administration with nearly

The reality is that for bush to "get in trouble" he has to do something
that will get him "into trouble". It sounds over simplistic, but there is
a difference between immoral, indecent, and illegal. The premise behind
www.savetoby.com is not illegal. It is questionable morally, and some may
find it indecent,, but it certainly isn't something that one could file
criminal proceedings over. The same with GW. The fact of the matter is
he has not broken any US laws.
Lazy
whining jerks just want to ***** like a bunch of old ladies.
Why would the single-party administration take legal action against
itself?
Do you really think the Justice system suspends all laws for the
administrative branch for agregious crimes? Don't make me laugh. If a
AUSA could successfully convict the POTUS, he would be able to write his
own paycheck in the private sector. All it takes is one big case, and a
competent AUSA will be set for life.
Find the laws that he has broken, present them to a Asst. US Attorney and
tape the conversation. I want to hear what he has to say. I am willing
to bet you never even call the nearest US Attorney's office let alone make
an appointment to talk to him.
Instead of bashing Bush, why not work on finding a good democratic
candidate
and extolling his virtues. 2008 isn't all that far off.

Oh please. Your excuse for inaction is still lame. If some fruit loop in
California can get laws passed on ridiculous stuff, you certainly could
effect a much larger change with real issues.

I'm sorry for criticising Bush.
Someone who used his position to avoid military service while at the
same time was in favour of the Vietnam blood fest need never expect to
be criticised.
Someone who used his governorship to assist industry avoid cleaning up
its' mess should never be criticised.
Someone who killed 152 people as Governor should never be criticised.
Someone tells lies to get himself an illegal war should never be
criticised.
Someone who calls the UN "irrelevant" because it did not give the
Article 51 endorsement to make the war for oil legal should never be
criticised.
Someone who kills 100,000 Iraqis plus 1,500 Americans should never be

Someone who grant contracts to his mates without proper tender to
repair the country he destroyed should never be criticised.
Someone who uses his position to avoid the rap for Hacken reporting

Someone who steals elections should never be criticised.
No we should shut up and let the Leo Strauss fascists get on the the

criticism is going to make that job so much harder.

The criticism is not the problem. It is the total lack of a practical
solution to accompany the criticism that is lacking.
I encourage the people that work for me to ***** all they want provided they
offer a possible solution in addition to the complaint. I discourage
bitching without a solution as that is destructive behaviour. The rules of
rational thought also dictate that the complaint and the solution accompany
each other.
I glanced over your litany of complaints and wish to point out something. As
governor of Texas, he was powerless to stop executions as the current
governor is. Many, many years ago a corrupt governor was pardoning condemned
criminals for large sums of money. The Texas legislature voted that the
power to pardon a convicted criminal be removed from the governor and to this
day that ruling stands. I suggest you investigate the rest of your
criticisms to see which of them are truly his fault. I think you will find
at least one that you attribute to him to be quite unjust and unfair.
As long as I am on the topic of executions, I have always had a problem with
executions as they illustrate the blatent and obvious hypocricy of the
christians that comprise the majority of the populace. I have read the bible
many times, searched concordances, read the papers of biblical scholars and
never did I find any exception to the Commandment "Thou shalt not kill".
Never did I find even a hint of an exception. I have yet to find one person
that can logically explain to me why the majority of christians want true
revenge when it is clearly stated "Revenge is mine sayeth the Lord". How can
this be? How is the illogic of the situtation be so easily resolved in the
minds of so many?
One more question if I may. What do you propose you or others do regarding
the actions of GW? There are a number of ways that I can think of that would
resolve your grievances but I also believe you an intelligent fellow and as
such can find vast and varied possible solutions. What do you propose?

Don't be silly.

Then you will never hear about problems from your people that need to

My suggestion is to stop limiting feedback to yourself.

True - the governer of Texas has almost no power - that was why they
put Bush in to the position from what I've been told by people who
lived there. Bush's own party didn't trust him.

Speak up and complain about his actions. Complain to your party -
complain to your congressman. People who don't speak up when they see
something wrong, deserve what they get.

Someone who steals elections should never be criticised.
No we should shut up and let the Leo Strauss fascists get on the the
job of trading US democracy for global hegemony. There are still
millions of people who have to killed in the coming resource wars and
criticism is going to make that job so much harder.
/me slaps myself.
The criticism is not the problem. It is the total lack of a practical
solution to accompany the criticism that is lacking.
Don't be silly.
If people don't point out that someone is has acted unethically, they
are tacitally accepting the crime.
Then why must they repeat it ad nauseum? Once was informative, twice
redundant and three times or more a waste of time and space. There are a
great many checks and balances. Look for them. Ask the question why of
the right people. you will be surpised at the answers you get sometimes
and more often than not you will understand why and agree with the
decision.
The obvious solution is not to act unethically.
That is prevention, not a soltion.
I encourage the people that work for me to ***** all they want provided
they offer a possible solution in addition to the complaint. I
discourage bitching without a solution as that is destructive behaviour.
The rules of rational thought also dictate that the complaint and the
solution accompany each other.
Then you will never hear about problems from your people that need to
be addressed. You do a very bad job of managing.
I hear about more problems than most managers. Why? Because the people
that cme to me with a problem come away with a solution or if a personal
issue, some reasonable advice based in fact.
You apparantly have a reading comprehension issue.
I am a terrible manager? My paycheck, bonuses, awards, department morale,
etc. would indicate otherwise. I operate on the idea of management by
fact. That philosophy has saved our company millions and improved morale
over the old 'management by perception' philosopy. Try it sometime. It
really does work and works to everyones benefit and satisfaction.
I suggest you carefully re-read what i wrote. I said I discourage
complaints without a solution. I will listen to everyone. Everyone can
come to compalin but they know that they will be talking to me for more
than a minute as we will discuss possible solutions. Unless one is
prepared to offer possible soultions, nothing ever gets resolved or it gets
resolved to the mutual dissatisfaction of the parties involved. Why must
engineeering decisions be left to a MBA or an accountant. That is
ridiculous.
The people that I manage like my management style. They feel they have a
say in what happens and they do. they see problems, come up with ways to
solve it, and they do a damn good job of it. If there is a large issue, I
call a meeting, moderate it, and we adress problems and solve them.
Everyone s happy most of the time. There is always the exceptional case
however.
I do guarantee one thing. If you are a competent, honest worker with a
good attitude, you will find me one of the very best bosses to work for. I
thnk I am fair, keep the upper mgmt BS away from them, and I trust them to
do their jobs. These people are reasonably intelligent adults and I treat
them accordingly. There is nothing worse than to have people nder you you
cannot trust. I didn't pick these people. They were there already. My
predecessors did a wonderful job in hiring the right people and firing the
losers before I got there.
My suggestion is to stop limiting feedback to yourself.
I deny that allegation. I have an open door policy. I talk to my people
and they talk to me. If they cannot find a possible solution, then we work
together to find one. It is pointless to complain unless a solution is
desired. Complaining by itself is pointless.
It is a good thing you aren't a manager where I work. You wouldn't last
but about 6 months with 3 months of that time being the "honeymoon" period.
90 days and you would be out.
I glanced over your litany of complaints and wish to point out
something. As governor of Texas, he was powerless to stop executions as
the current governor is. Many, many years ago a corrupt governor was
pardoning condemned criminals for large sums of money. The Texas
legislature voted that the power to pardon a convicted criminal be
removed from the governor and to this day that ruling stands. I
suggest you investigate the rest of your criticisms to see which of them
are truly his fault. I think you will find at least one that you
attribute to him to be quite unjust and unfair.
True - the governer of Texas has almost no power - that was why they
put Bush in to the position from what I've been told by people who
lived there. Bush's own party didn't trust him.
Now that "trust" issue is a ridiculous assertion. If his own party didn't
trust him then why did his own party make him a presidential candidate?
Please use a little deductive reasoning.
As to why he got elected I can tell you why and it is quite simple. His
predecessor would not sign a concealed handgun licensing bill. She refused
to do it. GW whole platform was to sign that bill allowing private citizens
to carry a concealed weapon. That promise alone got him elected and it was
an easy win for GW. He did make good on his promise to sign the bill BTW.
I don't know who you are talking to but they certainly do not have their
alleged "facts" straight. Not even close.
As long as I am on the topic of executions, I have always had a problem
with executions as they illustrate the blatent and obvious hypocricy of
the christians that comprise the majority of the populace. I have read
the bible many times, searched concordances, read the papers of biblical
scholars and never did I find any exception to the Commandment "Thou
shalt not kill". Never did I find even a hint of an exception. I have
yet to find one person that can logically explain to me why the majority
of christians want true revenge when it is clearly stated "Revenge is
mine sayeth the Lord". How can this be? How is the illogic of the
situtation be so easily resolved in the minds of so many?
One more question if I may. What do you propose you or others do
regarding the actions of GW? There are a number of ways that I can
think of that would resolve your grievances but I also believe you an
intelligent fellow and as such can find vast and varied possible
solutions. What do you propose?
Speak up and complain about his actions. Complain to your party -
complain to your congressman. People who don't speak up when they see
something wrong, deserve what they get.
Talking in a special interest newsgroup/forum is near pointless. Writing
letters, making phone calls, and the like is much more effective. Be sure
that what you are doing will have an effect. No sense in talking to the
town drunk. You have to talk to the business owners and once they agree
with you, then they can have a remakable effect at the local lever and even
at the state level. You would be amazed at who is someone's uncle, nephew,
aunt.
While loud noisterous yelling will get one noticed, it is the moderate calm
person that really gets things accomplished. I have proven that fact time
and again.
Isn't it better to talk about possible solutions, refining those solutons
so that their effectivness is maximized , etc? As far as a possible
impeachment goes, you might want to talk to a few people in congress that
feel the sane way you do. Find out if your representative or senator feels
the same way you do. If he/she does, ask them what you can do to help.
Ask them for advice. The trick will be to get them to say anything useful.
The best advice I can give is learn how to present a question to a seasoned
politician.
While I do not share in your quest, I do still wish you good luck. I have
a different quest or two of my own that must take priority over matters of
presidential policy.
I still think that O'Bama would make a fine POTUS and he would do a damn
fine job of it too. Now if we can get some of those southern bigots to
just wake up but that is another whole can of worms.
Good luck

Why do we have to listen to all this Bush bashing when he will never
be president again? So far all I have heard is whining and bitching
and moaning about Bush. Why don't these people do something
constructive like come up with a solution to the problem or is that
is far too difficult for them?
Instead of bashing Bush, why not work on finding a good democratic
candidate and extolling his virtues. 2008 isn't all that far off.
I'm sorry for criticising Bush.
Someone who used his position to avoid military service while at the
same time was in favour of the Vietnam blood fest need never expect to
be criticised.
Someone who used his governorship to assist industry avoid cleaning up
its' mess should never be criticised.
Someone who killed 152 people as Governor should never be criticised.
Someone tells lies to get himself an illegal war should never be
criticised.
Someone who calls the UN "irrelevant" because it did not give the
Article 51 endorsement to make the war for oil legal should never be
criticised.
Someone who kills 100,000 Iraqis plus 1,500 Americans should never be
criticised.
Someone who grant contracts to his mates without proper tender to
repair the country he destroyed should never be criticised.
Someone who uses his position to avoid the rap for Hacken reporting
discrepancies should never be criticised.
Someone who steals elections should never be criticised.

Those are questions of ethics. The question is - why aren't you
appalled?
So why aren't you appalled?
The obvious solution is not to act unethically.
That is prevention, not a soltion.
OK then, the obvious solution is to stop trusting the unethical
people.
I encourage the people that work for me to ***** all they want provided

that cme to me with a problem come away with a solution or if a personal

So what - you've stopped any complaints that don't have a solution the
person can or will give you,.
You apparantly have a reading comprehension issue.
I am a terrible manager? My paycheck, bonuses, awards, department morale,
etc. would indicate otherwise. I operate on the idea of management by
fact. That philosophy has saved our company millions and improved morale
over the old 'management by perception' philosopy. Try it sometime. It
really does work and works to everyones benefit and satisfaction.
I don't know why - obviously you aren't oriented towards greater
effeciency and a better work place - you just want quietness.
I suggest you carefully re-read what i wrote. I said I discourage

So stop bitching about bitching and try listening to the person who
stood up and had something to say about our common problem - the
current administration. It's your job as a citizen to complain to the
government when they are messing up. Otherwise they will assume you
think they are doing fine.
The people that I manage like my management style. They feel they have a
say in what happens and they do. they see problems, come up with ways to
solve it, and they do a damn good job of it. If there is a large issue, I
call a meeting, moderate it, and we adress problems and solve them.
Everyone s happy most of the time. There is always the exceptional case

So you don't insist on a solution before someone can complain.
I do guarantee one thing. If you are a competent, honest worker with a

thnk I am fair, keep the upper mgmt BS away from them, and I trust them to

Complaining by itself is not pointless, or you wouldn't have an open

bitched. Doesn't the idiot know about open door policies?
It is a good thing you aren't a manager where I work. You wouldn't last
but about 6 months with 3 months of that time being the "honeymoon" period.
90 days and you would be out.
Apparently Ross Perot didn't think so.

That's been their pattern for a while now.

Well no - it's a place to vent, to see what the other viewpoint is to
get information from others.
I'm sorry you think you are no better than the town drunk.
While loud noisterous yelling will get one noticed, it is the moderate calm
person that really gets things accomplished. I have proven that fact time
and again.
And I have discovered it's the person who stands up and states the
truth without fear, that is the person to trust. Only good workplaces
would value that and encourage it.
Not to mention - this isn't a workplace. This is the place to discuss
issues. I'm sorry you don't like that people are doing that.
Isn't it better to talk about possible solutions, refining those solutons
so that their effectivness is maximized , etc? As far as a possible
impeachment goes, you might want to talk to a few people in congress that

Better be careful about your priorities. The last thing I heard was
the republicans were talking about planning to remove funding from all
the lower courts in a effort to disempower the court systems. They
depend on us citizens not bothering to pay attention.
I still think that O'Bama would make a fine POTUS and he would do a damn
fine job of it too. Now if we can get some of those southern bigots to
just wake up but that is another whole can of worms.
Good luck

Nothing per se but complaining by and of itself will do little to nothing.
So, do both if you must but unless some sort of positive action is done to
remove GW, you must realize that you will have him as president until 2008.
Given the above, I have to ask why continue to complain unless it is simply
'therapy for the soul' so to speak.

There's also the matter of keeping people informed. Many people don't
hear about the stuff that the Bush administration gets up to (and it's
usually up to something it shouldn't be) unless it's drawn to their
attention. Even some of the posts in here have been informative,
providing links to news stories about corruption that I might have
missed. You might consider those to be more 'Bush bashing' but if we
don't know what the problem is and can not discuss it, coming up with
a solution is going to be a bit tricky isn't it?

The "problem" has been plastered all over usenet for over 2 years now.
Isn't it time to actually start discussing a solution? How long does it
take to state there is a problem before one moves toward a solution? 3
years? 4 years? 8 years? ...oops, we waited too long, no more problem.

torture of prisoners in both Iraq and Guantanamo Bay.
More bashing.
Instead of bashing Bush, why not work on finding a good democratic
candidate and extolling his virtues. 2008 isn't all that far off.
And in the mean time?
I don't see a candidate. I don't see a solution. All I see is more
bitching and bashing. I don't see anything constructive. I dont see a
solution or even an alternative.
Look at it this way.
1) Bush is not going to be reelected.
2) Bitching never resolved anything unless coupled with a solution.
3) Bush is the elected president. He is going to do what he is going to do
and there is little to nothing that you and I can do about it.
4) Stating that something is illegal doesn't make it so. If it were
illegal, then why hasn't someone at least indicted Bush and friends. I can
tell you why, because they don't have a legal leg to stand on. If you
still think it is illegal, then get an attorney to file a law suit. Please
let me know who you get to represent your side.
Now, where is that candidate? What would he do? What is his name? What
has he done in the past? Where does he stand on the many issues important
to you? Why keep it secret? Why can't we see a solution now? Must we
always wait for the convention? What about O'Bama? He seems like a
decent fellow. What about Kerry? Maybe the 2nd time around is the charm.
I recently told my sister pretty much the same things I mentioned above. I
added that she should not let her hate consume her as no one likes a
whiner, right or not.
Ask not what your country has done for you, but what YOU have done for your
country (besides ***** about it).
Don't sit in your nice comfy chair in your comfy home complaining, DO
SOMETHING that WILL make a difference! "Like what" you may ask. You are a
smart person, I am sure you can figure that out. If you are at a loss, ask
around.

UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW. Which the sociopathic bully who imagines he
is thje world's leader flouts. Why do you think he is so disliked in
the rest of the world? Not just for the illegal war which apparently
you support, as you support his lies, but also the various
international treaties he has withdrawn the US from.

why sit and ***** and bash, do SOMETHING! ANYTHING would be nice. Hell

I haven't seen your charges filed yet.
I see nothing constructive.
I have given no indication of what I support and that topic is outside of
the scope of, and has nothing to do with, this conversation.
The truth is rarely popular. True justice, doubly so.
Why don't you get off your dead ***** and do something instead of
complaining, bitching and moaning about something that you apparantly
refuse to try to do anything about. Is it that you just want to complain
and aren't happy unless you are complaining? Maybe that old adage is true.
A bitchy soldier is a happy soldier. Yack, yack, yack. Talk, talk, talk
and do nothing about it. The more you ***** the more you appear like an
old lady with nothing better to do.
Curse the darkness all you want. I lit my candle long ago and have a ready
supply of candles.
Have a nice weekend.

Maybe you aren't looking. The Democrats aren't the answer. The answer
is coming at the grassroots level and there are a lot of activist
groups out there to look at.
Besides, do you really need a candidate? Can't you run your own life
without a big government or corporation trying to regulate every aspect
of it? A lot of people hate the concept of government and corporations
because it serves the interests of only the very powerful.
Look at it this way.
1) Bush is not going to be reelected.
Irrelevant for the next 2 1/2 years.
2) Bitching never resolved anything unless coupled with a solution.
Here's the thing: nobody really knows how to make the world the best it
possibly can be. Nobody. Anyone who tells me they do have a solution
is, without question, trying to sell me a load of nonsense. Which is
why I find voting a waste of time.
But some ideas can lead to better results. And to find that, you'd
have to look elsewhere than the Republicans/Democrats.
3) Bush is the elected president. He is going to do what he is going
to do
and there is little to nothing that you and I can do about it.
Therein lies the problem.

Who said anything about illegal actions? It's the stuff he's legally
allowed to do which enrages so many people.
Now, where is that candidate? What would he do? What is his name?
What
has he done in the past? Where does he stand on the many issues
important
to you? Why keep it secret? Why can't we see a solution now? Must
we
always wait for the convention? What about O'Bama? He seems like a
decent fellow.
He's the Senator of my home state and he probably won't be elected for
one reason: his skin color. The "red states" would never vote for a
half black person to be president.
What about Kerry? Maybe the 2nd time around is the charm.
Could he get a fair chance without being smeared by Fox News? Nope.
I recently told my sister pretty much the same things I mentioned
above. I

Good advice, but there are some serious problems. It's better we
"*****" about it (more like discussing problems) then get violent and
do something stupid.
Ask not what your country has done for you, but what YOU have done
for your
country (besides ***** about it).
Here's the thing: you don't fix a broken car by focusing on what is
working perfectly. You focus on what is wrong with it.
BTW- Unless you're one of the upper 5% in this country, you really
shouldn't be loyal to the government at all. Be loyal to your family,
friends, and neighbors. But don't hold the illusion that your
government cares about you one bit. It doesn't. It'll take from you
whatever it can and will spit you out when it's done. Think of the
government more like a puzzle to solve in which one should find ways to
getting what they can out of it because that's exactly what they're
doing to you.
I'd ignore the government as the stupid, evil, and wasteful thing it
is, but it has armed thugs which won't let me.

That certainly is a defeatist attitude. Don't you think it would be better
to start changing those attitudes NOW! I think you would be surprised what
people will vote for.

Good advice, but there are some serious problems. It's better we
"*****" about it (more like discussing problems) then get violent and
do something stupid.
Violence is rarely an answer. Beat them at their own game. Start filing
suits. Start by offering alternatives. Why not write the leaders of all
the countires involved and telling them to stop. Sometimes one letter,
well written, can srike the right chord to really touch the most hardened
heart.
Ask not what your country has done for you, but what YOU have done
for your
country (besides ***** about it).
Here's the thing: you don't fix a broken car by focusing on what is

To curse the leaky water pump doesn't get it changed.

I'd ignore the government as the stupid, evil, and wasteful thing it

The country and the govt are two different things.
I think govt is entirely too big and too controlling. It is almsot as if
the US Govt is now the communists of today.
During the years of the cold war there was a saying that was repeated over
and over. "The Russian people are great, wonderful, friendly folks. The
Soviets are the ones you have to worry about."
Ignoring a problem doesn't make it go away. Complaining about it doesn't
make it go away either. Doing something to change it can make the problem
go away.
