Exactly one year to go!
Posted by GOPBasher on Sun Jan-20-08 09:37 AM

We have exactly one year before this piece of crap leaves office. One year to go. Breath. Perhaps meditate, or do yoga (if you ever get some time off of working your three jobs to pay for groceries and transportation –i.e. gasoline -- to get to those three jobs). Get some therapy (unless you’re one of the 47 million uninsured, or the millions more underinsured, or the majority of the remaining “middle class” who still have a hard time affording health care even with insurance). If you’re religious, read the scriptures of your chosen theology (but make sure it’s one of those nice passages about loving others, the golden rule and how everything will turn out fine, not the ones about killing everyone different than you, because that may make you want to vote Republican, which would make things worse than they are). Another option is prescription medication (though that tends to put more money in big pharma, which gives money to the Republican party, and then ... ok, you see where I’m going).

Damn. I’m trying to think of ways we can feel better, but our current leadership took them all away. Alright, here’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to quickly summarize that past seven years. I’m going to dive in, and try my hardest to simply accept the harsh reality of the unmitigated disaster that has been the Bush presidency. I’m writing in second person point-of-view, in a letter form, as if I’m talking to President Bush himself. Here we go; wish me luck.

Dear President Bush,

You haven’t fooled me. I see right through your smirk, you know, the one you wear every time you’re lying. It’s funny that approximately 30% of the people have yet to see that. Yes, you can fool that 30% all of the time, and you can fool 90% some of the time (such as September of 2001), but “you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.” That’s your harsh reality, Sir. And your legacy will be this:



•An unnecessary, unjust, immoral and illegal war based on outright lies
•Gross incompetence in handling that war
•Rampant corruption and cronyism
•$3 trillion added to that national debt in seven years, the vast majority coming in the first six years, with a “fiscally conservative” (say that with straight face) Republican congress (this debt coming despite cuts in social programs, such as SCHIP)
•Soaring trade deficits, hitting $763.3 billion in 2006
•A severely weakened dollar
•A health care crisis you did nothing about – sky-rocketing costs leaving 47 million uninsured, millions more under insured and even fully insured middle class families in dire straights in the event of serious medical problems
•An energy crisis you did nothing about – especially the continued reliance on oil, the rapidly escalating costs of which are tricking throughout the economy
•Failed educational policy
•A severely degraded environment, jeopardizing the ecological sustainability necessary for future prosperity
•Stagnant wages among all workers, even degreed professionals, and steadily disappearing manufacturing jobs
•Severe restrictions of liberties essential to democracy, such as freedom of speech and religion
•A massive raping of the constitution of the United States, even as you wrap your smiling skull in a flag
•Imprisonment without any actual charges, without any representation, without any hope for those who may not be guilty of anything
•Use of torture
•Katrina
•The Valerie Plame incident
•Cutting veterans benefits while simultaneously creating many more veterans
•Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo Bay
•A war on science, which is essential to human prosperity
•“Mission Accomplished,” and “Bring ‘em on,” you infintile jackass
•The list goes on and on




I’m not sure if a worse president is even theoretically, let alone practically, possible.

Sincerely,

(Name deleted for fear of NSA killing me for exercising my first amendment right)

but whose counting.....

Wait I thought Chimpy McCokespoon was going to declare Marshall law and become dictater for life.

A year from now no matter who is President and that includes,God forbid,a democrat DUmmies will still be an irrelevency on the political scene.

They will never grasp that fact either.
Their own party wants nothing to do with them except get their vote and money then like a used tissue into the garbage.

DUmpster really is an appropriate name.

Yeah and I also thought "Chimpeachment!!11" was a foregone conclusion as well.

I'm still trying to get past the part of the rant where the Predident is responsible for everyones health insurance...

I didn't know Bush was so powerful he could do that much, especially in areas that have nothing to do with him.

Well, I saw a few blades of grass the other day and I see we haven't sent all the poor people to debtors prison and Haliburton-owned orphanages and clearly the liberals haven't been sent to those Exxon-owned reeducation camps so it is clear Bush didn't complete all his plans. 

But we still have a year so there is always hope.

[franksolich]

Oh my.

I take it the goober primitive doesn't care much for George Bush.

One wonders if the primitives have now given up on impeachment.

Alas! the poor primitives! Alas!

After eight years, only one minor scalp (Scooter Libbey), and that one gotten under the most disingenuous means!

Only one scalp! and the primitives hoped for a harvest of hair!

But just one tiny little itty-bitty scalp!

Alas! the poor primitives! Alas!

From the tv show "Hee Haw" sung by Buck Owens and Roy Clark...

Gloom, despair, and agony on me,
Deep, dark depression - excessive misery,
If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all,
Gloom, despair, and agony on me.

Masturbate (if you're like 99% of DU).

Fixed!

Sheesh, thought I was reading Nance or Will. This one has certainly perfected the long-winded,arrogant, angst-filled whine guaranteed to lower the reader's IQ.

This is coming from a site where a majority of the members would rather spoon with terrorists and illegal immigrants than support their own country. Evertime I see links to that site and a read a couple of threads, I want to laugh. They need to change their name to Under Ground Traitors; It would be more fitting.
