you know.....all over the world there are people that are political and apolitical, meaning they don't give a crap who wins. It's still hard to beleive that the american people, and I lived in the good ol' USA for 12 yrs, have not yet realized what really happened in the Bush-Gore election...... it's a simple case of brother helping brother. Why do you think Gore dropped out of politics....disappointed in the system.

All over the world we are paying record high prices for gasoline and in the USA in some places is almost $3 per galon when before Bush it was under $1, and guess who is the ONLY person responsible for that....yes, Mr George W. what surprises me most is that the american people do nothing about it, when almost 40 yrs ago Nixon resigned for sending people to break into a building. can someone see the difference here???

HE'S AN OIL MAN, with close links to the saudi royal family..........GUESS WHY?????

How does the oil market work???? prices rise due to instability in the part of the world where oil is produced. Guess who made it more unstable?????? yes, Mr. George W. again. by invading a country like Irak when ALL HE HAD TO DO IS CAPTURE BIN LADEN!!!!but I guess that's the hard part as he is friends with his family and has done business with them.

But the USA is a democracy and he was elected by "the people" so he should be there. But wouldn't it be nice for the rest of the world not to pay the price for the "mistakes" of the american president???

anyway, that's my 2 cents worth. God help us

 

I hate political threads... but will leave you americans to discuss your presidency

 

I absolutely despise Bush, but I think you went a little too far with the conspiracy theory reading. Every president has connections somewhere and a secret agenda. We aren't the only ones paying ridiculously high gas prices, maybe it's for the better as it sort of reduces the use of big *** trucks and SUV's and promotes research into alternative fuel sources which we would eventually need. Out of every bad thing is a good thing.

Barack Obama for President 2008!

 

Lose someone?

Just wait till the worlds econo juice runs out. Things are going to be real fun then and Bush will be the last thing on all our minds then.

 

As a person i got nothing against Bush. As the president i think he is a dumbass

 

im sorry...im not a bush supporter either...but that is some of the most un-educated and/or un-informed pile of bull**** ive ever read or heard on either side of the current presidency argument.

first off, gas hasnt been under $1 for more than a week in the past twenty years, and you know it. the entire first decade of my life i spent looking at gas prices hovering around 1.40-1.60 a gallon.

second off, gas is way over $3 a gallon in most places of the US. when i was in colorodo at the end of june, gas was around 3.09 up there, then when i got back to South Carolina it spiked up to 3.29 a gallon...more or less. its still hovering about 10-20 cents over 3 a gallon.

third, why do you care about gas prices in america if you 'lived' (past-tense being the key) there? shouldnt you be more concerned about where you live? gas prices in america are waaaaay lower than in most other countries. (and guess who we have to thank for that? le gasp! bush!)

fourth, nixon didnt resign because he had people break into watergate, he resigned because he did it and then lied about it under oath on public television, and then was impeaced for it. he resigned before the impeachment went all the way through. anyway..what he did was illegal. bush has yet to commit any crime that will put him up for impeachment.

fifth, oil prices were rising long before the war and bush. back before i even hit double digit ages people were complaining about the $2.10 gas prices. its not bush creating instability in the world, its OPEC realizing they can make way more money than they are because the gas market is inflexible, meaning people will buy it no matter what the price is. its not only opec, its the gas companies themselves. say gas starts at $3 a gallon. then at noon the next day the price for crude shoots up ten dollars a barell, well thats going to make gas prices skyrocket. then lets say that by eight that night the price for crude goes back down to the original level (which is what really does happen...it will fluxuate all day). the price of the oil may be down, but gas companies will keep gas prices up, because they figure they can. they'll then settle it down to around $3.10 a gallon, wait for crude prices to rise again, then shoot it up another 20 cents, bring it back 10, shoot it up more, and before you know it we're paying $6 a gallon.

sixth...its iraq. not irak. thats almost as bad as 'v-tech'

seventh...bin laden is in afghanistan. and hunting for a single man in afghanistan is no walk in the park. ever been there? there are millions of caves and hills, valleys, infinate places to hide in that country. bin laden knew that when he attacked us and knew we'd never be able to catch him.

eighth, everybody has to pay for the actions of everybody. we live on the same planet and nothing is going to change that. if the UK attacked france, somehow Japan would be affected. if saudi arabia attacked india, america would be heavily affected. its just the way it is.

im sorry i had to bother typing all that...its just your statement was so blatently retarted that i had to.

do not flame me for this message. it will be a waste of time. this is the last time i will post in this thread. politics dont belong on web forums.

 

+1 and +1 with everything nail said. lol took the words right outa my mouth man...

 

Nail from my standpoint you are wrong on a few things. I am 25 this october, born in 1981, started driving in 1997. When I started driving gas was right at $.85 a gallon. Going up and down untill the attacks on 9/11. Sometimes as low as $.79 a gallon. When 9/11 happened gas went in a 24 hour period from $.95 a gallon to $1.75 a gallon and has been on a steady increase ever sense.

I do not blame Bush for oil prices, what I do blame him for is being helpfull and turning a blind eye to large corp. that are doing things that are not only illegal but immoral. OPEC has the oil industry in a vise, putting a monoply on it. Illegal, Bill Gates got taken to court for trying to do the same thing with major computer software when he tried to corner the market. The thing is, Bill Gates is not kicking money to the government left and right but OPEC is lining everyone in Washington DC's pockets, this is why they go free.

Bush's only problem IMHO is that he directs his attention, our resources, and the public eye to other things going on to avoid putting the effort forth to fix our own country. He is putting all the attention on "The War on Terror" because his domestic polocies suck, completely suck. Our economy is in shambles, you can pull all the graphs and read all the crap reports from places like Ny and L.A. or where ever says we are doing good but out here in the blue collar parts of the country the economy sucks ***.

Fact, Bin Laden and the Bush family have long ties. Dating back to when Bush Sr. was Vice President under Regan. Bush gave both Bin Laden and his terrorist group funding, wepons, and training to fight Germany(this was around 81/82) Bin Laden got treated at a U.S. sanctioned feild hospitle just a couple days after the 9/11 attacks. Bush has pushed us into 2 wars at one time(Afganastan and Iraq) and is on the verge of pushing us into 2 more with Iran and N. Korea(which I must say neither of them will be anywhere as easy, will cost way more money, and will take way more of our troops lives then Iraq or Afganastan)

Bush is by no means the worse guy in the world, but he is greedy, pig headed, and totally blind to what the American people truely want. We are doing nothing in the Middle East but pissing more people off which in turn makes for more potential terrorist attacks against us. The only 2 reason we keep our noses buried over there are oil and Israel. Israel has made it perfectly clear that they can and will stand up for themselves and we have the ability to get all the oil we need on North America. We need to totally withdraw all troops from all countries, stack them on our borders(which would also help with the illegal's problem we have), regroup our resources, and build this country back into the powerhouse we once were.

Walk silent and hit hard, dont say **** to anyone, you **** us off and we send planes with bombs in the middle of the night, bomb your ***, and leave. Dont start anything and there wont be anything. Let them people in Europe deal with their crazy *** buddies in the mid east. Do you think for one second that one of them countries would be the first on the scene in Mexico or Canada if they started doing stupid off the wall crazy **** like over there......hell no.

 

How is Bush to thank for that?

If I recall, there's a team of legalists that have been working on this for a while. I'm not sure what he did exactly, but I've heard about it here and there for some time. I think it may have to do with breaking some laws of the Geneva Convenition in some regard to Iraq. I really haven't researched it.

As for having nothing against Bush as a person, tell that to the thousands of American's who have lost family and friiends in Iraq. And don't bother coming back with "A soldier's job is to blah blah blah," "They knew what they were getting themselves into." I'm sorry but most soldiers either A) have no idea what they're getting themselves into, or B) trusts their government not to put them in a situation where they will face unspeakable horrors and possibly die fighting an enemy that poses absolutely no threat to the American people. If anything we're at more danger now than we ever were. A significant portion of the Iraqi people now feel that America is to blame for everything bad that's happened in Iraq in recent years, and that sentimate is growing throughout the Muslim world.

Also, are you not the least bit resentful of the fact that 2/3rds or some ridiculous amount of Bush's first year in office, he spent on vacation? (And guess who payed for it all.) He's the United States President for God's sake.

Or how about cutting vetern and soldier benefits? (And he tried to cut them more but Congress wouldn't let him.)

The list goes on and on. Imo, as far as quality of character is concerned, Bush may be the worst President the United States has ever known.
