If only this movie were true


That's all I have to say about it. At least then, there'd be some justice in the world. I wouldn't do that personally of course, but I and many other Democrats wouldn't exactly "miss" George W. if you know what I mean!

I find it interesting that you wish the death of a man you apparently hate yet have a signature that says 'stop right wing hate'.
Why don't you stop YOUR hate.

You know I'm really tired of this bush bashing, He was our president as is Barack Obama, I watched on TV when a crazed man tried to kill Ronald Reagan!!! That was not a fake movie like this crap death of a president is. funny he dosen't make a movie the death of the queen, but he does make one about a US president. You watch the video and you see also some other people get shot, One James Brady is now handicapped because of it. One Secret Service agent took a bullet for the president. You want JUSTICE, Funny how I never see anyone from the LEFT want saddam hussein dead or Osama bin laden.

The man(George W. Bush) was not perfect, no one is!!! Not even Obama, which I do not call him the president. Want to talk about stealing an election, The dems stole this one just like al franken is going to steal his. When you have a president not disclose any info on his past, to include a birh certificate which is probably the easiest document if it's true to present, but Nobama has not presented one.

JUSTICE. funny coming from someone who hates a former president. I want to know how your going to feel when you taxes get raised from all this spending that the US TAXPAYER never asked for, and bush had a hand in it also towards the end of his presidency, Espacially spending money the government dosen't have. How are you gonna feel??

And you wouldn't do it personally but wished someone would do it for you?? Obama had threats to him also but I didn't wish to see him dead. very sad.

Please elaborate on how the democrats stole the last election. Did they do it in a similar manner to what was done in 2000?

In regards to the original post, I'm glad this movie wasn't true. No matter how terrible of a president Bush was, having Cheney take the office of the most powerful man in the world would have been a disaster of epic proportions.

The election was not stolen in 2008. Nor was it stolen in 2000. The candidate in both years won fair and square.

Obama just happened to get both the electoral vote and popular vote this time. Whereas, Bush, a much better person with better morals (HINT, HINT), wasn't as much of a rock and roll star as Obama this past year.

Plus he didn't think the same as Obama either, which is a good thing.

reply

I think it is sort of stupid that you can win the popular vote but lose the electoral vote. Doesn't this seem strange? Maybe there should be a rehaul in that process, since no other office does that anyway.

reply

Etsm92, I find it odd that you say "Obama just happened to get both the electoral vote and popular vote this time," as if that's unusual. That's how it usually works---what's unusual is what happened in 2000 (and whomever said it *wasn't* stolen in 2004 is correct---Bush won both the popular and electoral vote in 2004 "fair and square" as far as we know, just as Obama "just happened" to in 2008).

And despite your capitals when you type "HINT, HINT," I don't get what you're hinting at. How has Barack Obama shown himself to have poor morals? So far, he's been an upstanding family family, from modest roots, without benefit of a wealthy or powerful upbringing, and spent a good portion of his career for the public good. HINT HINT what? If Obama were the alcoholic, I might think that's what you were alluding to, but he isn't, and a recovering alcoholic (as presumably GW is) is a person with a disease, not a moral problem. If Obama were responsible for Gitmo, I might think that's what HINT HINT meant, but...he wasn't. So please, I am curious what HINT HINT means.

I know that not every President is perfect, but Bush did tell lies of WMDs in Irag, and th e U.S. invades, and kills a bunch of innocent people, based on his lies. His lies, which never admitted to. There is no admission of guilt on his part, and he never owned up to it. Ne just denies. If he would actually admit his guilt and maybe surrender himself over to the Iraqi government with a guilty plea, to be arrested and tried for his crimes, I would then have respect for the man.

But until he does that, I consider him to be an evil, selfish man, and have not much sympathy for him.

reply

Me neither. It is amazing he didn't get assassinated in his last days in office. I have the feeling 9/11 contributed to it in this way: after that, there was tighter security, making it harder to assassinate him.

"You know I'm really tired of this bush bashing, He was our president as is Barack Obama"

...Later in the post:

"The man(George W. Bush) was not perfect, no one is!!! Not even Obama, which I do not call him the president"<------(HA!)

YES HE HAS. more right wing agenda pushed on you by fox news. You dont necessarily believe it but damn well want to. In fact, I could tell you to look here:

http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/born_in_the_usa.html

But you probably wouldn't. You would rather keep the bad attitude.



"You want JUSTICE, Funny how I never see anyone from the LEFT want saddam hussein dead or Osama bin laden."


Same ol' same ol' right wing crap. Just as bad as left wing crap. You dont care if they want them dead you just want to bash the 'other' side. Of course, if you would stick your head out of your own ass and talk to a left-ist person you would see that they DO want those names dead. They just want it done without a war (of course, now that Obama is president war is not such a bad thing. But thats a whole different story)


"JUSTICE. funny coming from someone who hates a former president. I want to know how your going to feel when you taxes get raised from all this spending that the US TAXPAYER never asked for"


The US taxpayer never wanted to pay for an 8+ year war
FACE.

Shame on you, brucecarson2008. I hate GW, I hate what he did to our country, I hate what he did to others in the world, and I hate what he did for our standing in the world. But to wish him dead? No.

I saw the movie, and it portrayed Bush, if anything, as a human being in a sympathetic light. So if anyone thinks the movie will just satisfy some liberal fantasy (I say that as a liberal), it doesn't. It shows murder. It shows chaos. It shows devastation.

And people SHOULD watch the movie and think about what we're stirring up in our own country right now.

I think it very presumptuous of you to speak for other Democrats, "if you know what I mean."

reply

Nobody assassinated George Bush because they knew Dick Cheney would end up president, and he was the real problem--him and Rumsfeld and the other a$$holes in the Cabinet. Bush wasn't actually responsible for most of the *beep* that went on during his president--he was merely irresponsible. He was weak, he couldn't handle the presidency, and he really had no idea what his actions were doing.

And that's why he's one of the worst presidents of all time: because he was so weak. His bigotry against anyone who wasn't Christian didn't help, either.

Two words: President Cheney.

Tell me, bruce, is your mental defectiveness congenital, like Fetal Alcohol Syndrome? Were you a crack baby? If so, then you are much more deserving of my pity than my wrath. That would even be the case if you were dropped on your head (multiple times, obviously) by your impaired parent(s).

But (and I fear this is the much more likely scenario) if you did this to yourself by huffing gasoline or doing lines of Ajax or whatever, then do everybody a favor and smoke a cigarette while you're huffing, or try a big fat rail of Drano.
