Bush should have thrown back, lol.

[Daniel Adams]

"Some Iraqi journalists stood up to apologise." Heartening.

[Angel of Death]

I normally never do this, but:

Insanely awesome freedom fighter.

And before you twist my words, you retards, no, I'm *not* talking about Bush.

At least he didn't visit the Baghdad City Zoo. There the monkeys would have screamed and thrown poo at him.

[Matt Damon™]

He's not actually the president.

[Ronnie]

He's not actually the president.

Really?  Wikipedia says he is:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_W._Bush

[Matt Damon™]

His getting power was illegal in the first place. It'll be good for America to have a real president for the first time in 8 years.

[Iosif]

It's amazing the amount of disrespect liberal jackasses have for the outgoing leader of our country.  These last eight years has suffered from the most childish partisan bickering in years - and the Democrats and the "Bush is a war criminal!" crowd are to blame.  Fortunately, when we are no longer in power we will not stoop to your level.  Even on the sidelines we will continue to support this country and our President.

Still hoping Obama gets shot?

It's debatable, and he is still your president, whether you like it or not.

[Matt Damon™]

Nope. Why would I recognize an illegitimate leader?

[Ronnie]

Whether or whether not he is your leader is not your decision, no matter how much you hate him.  The electoral college certified him to be our president, and so he is.  It's not open for debate.

[Matt Damon™]

The EC is a joke and a horrible anachronism. 2000 showed why it was outdated.

It's the law and there's nothing you can do about it.

[Matt Damon™]

Laws change...

[Ronnie]

Sure they do, but it's not an adequate reason to debunk the 2000 presidential election of Bush.  It was the law at the time.

The NYT did a study after the 2000 election which, after examining the ballots remaining, determined that had the Supreme Court not stopped the count Bush would still have won the count.

Yeah, THAT New York Times.  That Bush loving, RNC controlled, Rush Limbaugh parroting, right wing partisan rag New York Times.

Shut up with the we was robbed in Florida bit.  It has long since gotten waaaaay beyond tiring.

Actually....although I'm certain that Bush lost Florida......that was not even the argument here.....please learn to read. The debate was about the Electoral College.

Lets not let this thread get derailed.

I'll say it with a bit more force than my compatriots: Bush is less of a man than most of his critics. He's subhuman and his Christian followers are genetically-and-psychologically inferior weaklings incapable of confronting a world that does not conform to their metaphysical presuppositions. The man is objectively inferior in the natural hierarchy of rank; he is less valuable as a human being than many others. He is unfit for the office he stole and unfit for many others he did not.

[Franzl]

He's been legitimate for the last 4 years though.....terrifying, isn't it?

[Scam of God]

For all you Tinfoil Hat people, Bush won the 2004 election, remember?  Both in the electoral college and the popular vote.  And this is undisputed.

Well you certainly are forceful, I'll give you that, but forcefulness is not a virtue.  What is telling about this is the fact that you say Bush is "objectively inferior" in the "natural hierarchy of rank" (WTF?).  Less valuable as a human being than many others?  Now to me there is nothing more horrible than assigning "value" to people.  Einzige, when you condemn Bush as "sub-human" you condemn yourself.  Look in the mirror.  You may not like what is reflected back at you, but what is the purpose of a mirror if you see a false image?

I do not believe that "all men are created equally" (partially because men are not 'created'); every human is worth only as much as he can do or create. Bush, being of inferior intelligence and quite probably a dullard, is lower in rank than most of his better critics, all of whom seem to have at least some imagination.

an iraqi reporter is a liberal jackass? maybe the guy lost his family or something during the war. of course you were talking about the people here who as far as i can tell made only a few posts before you ranted about them all being liberal jackasses as for not stooping to the level of the dems i seriously doubt it as for one thing many of you already do and quite often but of course thats ok because they started it.

[Keystone Phil]

What a Presidency.

[Eraserhead]

I strongly disapprove of anything that creates sympathy for Mr. Bush.

By the way, is anyone else surprised that he successfully ducked it?
