freethefly 6 #7 December 19, 2005 He is an idiot and a totaliterian. A very dangerous combination. This guy would like nothing better than to place listening devices and cameras in every home. Right now he is talking of Osama. Why wasn't he talking about Osama and not Saddam after 911. Osama is making him look like an even bigger idiot as he did the best thing he ever could had done for Bin Laden - attack the man that did not attack the US."...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black."

sioux 0 #13 December 19, 2005 Does anyone else find it strange that Bush is being complimented lately for being "realistic"? I am not sure this is a compliment. I haven't seen such convoluted lines of conversation and such expert chronicling thereof since my days of all day bong marathons in college. ~ Lindercles Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hell neither would Bush or any of his cronies take a bullet for anyone and almost to a man this administration avoided doing so when they were young enough to step up and do so. Now, 30 years later those same cowards denigrate those like Sen John McCain who did put their asses on the line and DID serve.

Amazon 7 #16 December 19, 2005 QuoteFounder/CEO of oil and gas company, 1975-1987; managing general partner, Texas Rangers baseball team, 1989-1998 Oh yeah.. and tell me.. who was it who bailed him out of that when his management of them ran them into the ground. http://alaric3rh.home.sprynet.com/science/bceo.html Arbusto, an oil exploration company, lost money, but it got considerable investments (nearly $5 million) because even losing oil investments were useful as tax shelters. Spectrum 7 Energy Corp. bought out Arbusto in 1984 and hired Mr. Bush to run the company's oil interests in Midland, Texas. The oil business collapsed as oil prices plummeted by 1986, and Spectrum 7 Energy was near failure. Harken Energy acquired Mr. Bush's Spectrum 7 Energy shares, and he got Harken shares, a directorship, and a consulting arrangement in return. Harken, under Bush, brought in Saudi real estate tycoon Sheikh Abdullah Bakhsh as a board member and a major investor. Over the next few years, Harken would turn out to have links to: Saudi money, CIA-connected Filipinos, the Harvard Endowment, the emir of Bahrain, and the shadowy Bank of Credit and Commerce International. A 1991 internal SEC document suggested George W. Bush violated federal securities law at least 4 times in the late 1980s and early 1990s in selling Harken stock while serving as a director of Harken. This is essentially the same kind of activity that Martha Stewart is going to prison over. Except at the time of the investigation, Mr. Bush's father was president and the case was quietly dropped.

Sounds like someones daddy pulled a few strings. His Havard MBA, well, just look at his business deals as they speak of his ability to conduct a succesful business. As far as his business went it flopped, partly due to the oil crisis and partly due to his inability to handle business properly. His business was bought out by Harkin, buddies of his daddy. He was later accused of insider trading. After he sold his shares the company, Harkin posted a major loss. I would love to read the SEC report on this. His stint with the Rangers was mostly in part due to a group of his daddy's friends, again. He made money, but it is widely known that he was not the brains behind the scenes. I flat out do not like Bush. He is anti-working man. Anti-union. He does not care for the poor, sick and dying. He is a person to scorn. Not idolize and follow blindly. In all fairness, I do not like Clinton, PoppaBush, Reagan, Ford nor Nixon.
