    Any one who votes or even talks about the election should read this. THIS IS FANTASTIC, MAKE SURE YOU READ EVERY WORD AND REGARDLESS WHAT YOU THINK OF BUSH, WHOEVER WROTE THIS IS 100% ON THE MONEY.
    BUSH'S RESIGNATION SPEECH

    The following 'speech' was written recently by an ordinary Maineiac [a resident of the People's Republic of Maine]. While satirical in nature, all satire must have a basis in fact to be effective. This is an excellent piece by a person who does not write for a living.


    The speech George W. Bush might give:




    Normally, I start these things out by saying 'My Fellow Americans.' Not doing it this time. If the polls are any indication, I don't know who more than half of you are anymore. I do know something terrible has happened, and that you're really not fellow Americans any longer.

    I'll cut right to the chase here: I quit. Now before anyone gets all in a lather about me quitting to avoid impeachment, or to avoid prosecution or something, let me assure you: There's been no breaking of laws or impeachable offenses in this office.

    The reason I'm quitting is simple. I'm fed up with you people. I'm fed up because you have no understanding of what's really going on in the world. Or of what's going on in this once-great nation of ours. And the majority of you are too damned lazy to do your homework and figure it out.

    Let's start local. You've been sold a bill of goods by politicians and the news media. Polls show that the majority of you think the economy is in the tank. And that's despite record numbers of homeowners, including record numbers of MINORITY homeowners. And while we're mentioning minorities, I'll point out that minority business ownership is at an all-time high. Our unemployment rate is as low as it ever was during the Clinton administration. I've mentioned all those things before, but it doesn't seem to have sunk in.

    Despite the shock to our economy of 9/11, the stock market has rebounded to record levels and more Americans than ever are participating in these markets. Meanwhile, all you can do is whine about gas prices, and most of you are too damn stupid to realize that gas prices are high because there's increased demand in other parts of the world, and because a small handful of noisy idiots are more worried about polar bears and beachfront property than your economic security.

    We face real threats in the world. Don't give me this 'blood for oil' thing. If I were trading blood for oil I would've already seized Iraq's oil fields and let the rest of the country go to hell. And don't give me this 'Bush Lied; People Died' crap either. If I were the liar you morons take me for, I could've easily had chemical weapons planted in Iraq so they could be 'discovered.' Instead, I owned up to the fact that the intelligence was faulty.

    Let me remind you that the rest of the world thought Saddam had the goods, same as me. Let me also remind you that regime change in Iraq was official US policy before I came into office. Some guy named 'Clinton' established that policy. Bet you didn't know that, did you? Now some of you morons are considering another and more evil Clinton for president !!!! Go figure that one!! She wants to take your kids away and let the 'Whole Village' raise them! i.e. governmental indoctrination .. Look this one up you dumb asses!

    The rest of you morons want to be led by a junior senator with no understanding of foreign policy or economics, and this nitwit says we should attack Pakistan, a nucular ally. And then he wants to go to Iran and make peace with a terrorist who says he's going to destroy us. While he's doing that, he wants to give Iraq to al Qaeda, Afghanistan to the Taliban, Israel to the Palestinians, and your money to the IRS so the government can give welfare to illegal aliens, who he will make into citizens, so they can vote to reelect him. He also thinks it's okay for Iran to have nucular weapons, and we should stop our foreign aid to Israel. Did you sleep through high school?

    You idiots need to understand that we face a unique enemy. Back during the cold war, there were two major competing political and economic models squaring off. We won that war, but we did so because fundamentally, the Communists wanted to survive, just as we do. We were simply able to out spend and out-tech them.

    That's not the case this time. The soldiers of our new enemy don't care if they survive. In fact, they want to die. That'd be fine, as long as they weren't also committed to taking as many of you with them as they can. But they are. They want to kill you, and the bastards are all over the globe.

    You should be grateful that they haven't gotten any more of us here in the United States since September 11. But you're not. That's because you've got no idea how hard a small number of intelligence, military, law enforcement, and homeland security people have worked to make sure of that. When this whole mess started, I warned you that this would be a long and difficult fight. I'm disappointed how many of you people think a long and difficult fight amounts to a single season of 'Survivor.'

    Instead, you've grown impatient. You're incapable of seeing things through the long lens of history, the way our enemies do. You think that wars should last a few months, a few years, tops.

    Making matters worse, you actively support those who help the enemy. Every time you buy the New York Times, every time you send a donation to a cut-and-run Democrat's political campaign, well, dang it, you might just as well FedEx a grenade launcher to a Jihadist. It amounts to the same thing.

    In this day and age, it's easy enough to find the truth. It's all over the Internet. It just isn't on the pages of the New York Times, USA Today, or on NBC News. But even if it were, I doubt you'd be any smarter. Most of you would rather watch American Idol or Dancing with Stars.

    I could say more about your expectations that the government will always be there to bail you out, even if you're too stupid to leave a city that's below sea level and has a hurricane approaching.

    I could say more about your insane belief that government, not your own wallet, is where the money comes from. But I've come to the conclusion that were I to do so, it would sail right over your heads.

    So I quit. I'm going back to Crawford. I've got an energy-efficient house down there (Al Gore could only dream) and the capability to be fully self-sufficient for years. No one ever heard of Crawford before I got elected, and as soon as I'm done here pretty much no one will ever hear of it again. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to die of old age before the last pillars of America fall.

    Oh, and by the way, Cheney's quitting too.That means Pelosi is your new President.You asked for it.Watch what she does carefully, because I still have a glimmer of hope that there are just enough of you remaining who are smart enough to turn this thing around in 2008.

    So that's it. God bless what's left of America.

    Some of you know what I mean. The rest of you,kissoff.


    PS - You might want to start learning Farsi, and buy a Koran.

    I can tell that's satire; 90% of that can easily be proven as false. For example:

    Polls show that the majority of you think the economy is in the tank. And that's despite record numbers of homeowners, including record numbers of MINORITY homeowners

    One is not dependant upon the other but does make up the parts of the sum total. For example, the economy IS in the tank. Even the great Mr. Greenspan said we may not be in a recession, but the economy is acting like it. The Dow hit the lowest point in 20 years and we have record unemployment.

    Insofar as homeowners are concerned - yes, we have a record number of MINORITY homeowners. But that, my friend, was based upon risky loans which began to unravel in 2007 causing the current mortgage crash and a record mortgage default rate.

    It is almost comical that people read things and take them for truth without doing research. I think that's the big problem with America. People don't question the government enough. From what I have seen in this microcosm of the real world website, GOP supporters post things like the above. However, all one would have to do is pull out the good ole' research book and you can find the holes. It's not a slant, it hard numbers. Now, there are things that could be subjective and for that you can't find fault in the person for having an opinion. But when such objective things as the current economic value is debated, there really isn't much to question. It is what it is. Is the unemployment rate high? Is the market low? Those things are black and white. Now, Bernanke might come and say we're not in a recession. But almost all the other bread and butter economists - to include Greenspan (who won't say it is, but says we are on the cusp) - believe if it walks like a duck, talks like a duck and look like a duck....


    Now, I'm not saying that the world is at an end, but it is time for a change.

    I feel out of place on this board. No, not being a liberal/libertarian. I mean being one that talks about the issues.

    Penguin,
    The polite (an armed society should be a polite society) may refuse to debate or discuss politics with you (a lib
    53316517.jpg
    )
    out of respect or not wanting to offend a (LOCAL) fellow firearm enthusiast

    If you weren't a local or a gunny we would unleash the hounds of hell on you ::muhaha::

    Cest la vie...........

    Personally, I cannot for the life of me understand how a moderator gun guy could support and vote for those who would disarm us (under jackboots) and tax us to death (to feed da lazy)

    on another note, your boat looks sweet!

    Because I don't ascribe to only one political party. I've voted for all under the sun for what I believe is right and ethical. For smaller elections it usually isn't bad (although the totality of those smaller ones can and do have an impact on the bigger societal scene) but with the bigger, there are more issues at stake and I have to make the line with where I stand. There may be issues that I loathe about that candidate, but there are bigger issues than the one I loathe.

    If there is a debate, I'm there. I'll even argue with you about your not wanting to debate a debate...lol On a serious note, though: I believe debates should be held with fervor and passion but with the benefit of study and research. Nothing more irks someone trying to have a debate that doing it with someone who bases it on nothing more than their theories. Anyone can do that. Hell, look at Gore..ahahahaha... I think he is right, but a little to dark and life-ending about it. I don't think the world will end as soon as he thinks, but we also have to look at the other factors out there. It's like brooding a herd. At sometime if you're doing a lot of culling, you need to replenish the stock. That may mean not hunting during certain parts of the seasons so the herd can replenish (that's such a liberal move - conservatives might argue the herd can never run out...lol).

    Penguin, this post shows how great this country is. We disagree and thats ok. We can discuss our opposing points of view civilly and that can be healthy. Liberals have good points and some not so good points. Same is true for conservatives. One point on the mainstream liberal adgenda is gun control. We can all agree on this one. :D

    I agree with you penguin. Its just easier for some to do what they are told, instead of questioning why. Heaven forbid people start voting their own principles, instead of what the tv tells them to do.

    So if someone does not vote for the liberal agenda they are not voting their principles? Conservatives are mindless drones that follow the TV talking heads platform. I'm a conservative and I question why. Why certain people want to violate my constitutional rights and take away my guns. Why are my hard earned tax dollars supporting people who choose to not work and have kids they cannot afford? Why is it if you don't agree with certain lifestyles and you voice your opinion without malice it's considered hate speech. Why cant we drill off of the East or West coast while gasoline skyrockets to $5.00 per gallon. One more big why. Why do I bust my ass to be successful while certain politicians set up tax schedules that penalize me for it?

    Conservatives are not mindless drones that follow the talking heads platform, NeoCons are. The liberal agenda is the Socialist/Communist agenda. See when the correct words are used it starts to make sense. (Im speaking in general terms and not suggesting you are using the incorrect words) NeoCons and Socialists are whats wrong and I feel they are pushing this country to the edge. I consider myself a Democratic Republican. They were real, and were the dominant political party until around the 1900's. You are right on in questioning why, I'd like some answers to those questions myself. In my opinion we have morphed into a Corporate Republic. What Corporations want, politicians will lie, cheat, and steal to take from us to give to them.

    I find it odd that you can break apart the GOP base and say "well, only this faction is as hard core as you present it to be" but can't understand the same about liberals.

    See when the correct words are used it starts to make sense. (Im speaking in general terms and not suggesting you are using the incorrect words) NeoCons and Socialists are whats wrong and I feel they are pushing this country to the edge. I consider myself a Democratic Republican.

    That's more of a fair assesment. That the NeoCons and Socialists are what's wrong. Not the conservatives and liberals. There are extremes on both sides of the coin.

    They were real, and were the dominant political party until around the 1900's. You are right on in questioning why, I'd like some answers to those questions myself. In my opinion we have morphed into a Corporate Republic. What Corporations want, politicians will lie, cheat, and steal to take from us to give to them.

    That's a liberal position.

    I was misunderstood, my own fault. I meant the slur "liberal" agenda. Not the dictionary definition of liberal. I should have cleared that up, my apologies, you are correct in finding it odd, it was not what I meant. Thanks for pointing it out. There is nothing the matter with Liberals and Conservatives, its the NeoCons and Socialists that are mucking things up.

    They disagree too. Just like the Repubs and the Dems. It's funny to watch a Parliament debate. The oohs and aahs and such. :D
