Title: Bush's Resume
Post by: strk on January 17, 2004, 06:13:25 PM
George Bush Resume

PAST WORK EXPERIENCE:
I ran for the U.S. Congress and lost.
I began my career in the oil business in Midland, Texas in 1975. I bought an oil company, but couldn't find any oil in Texas. The company went bankrupt shortly after I sold all my stock.
I bought a share of the Texas Rangers baseball team in a sweetheart deal that appropriated land using taxpayer money.
With the help of my father and our friends in the oil industry (including Enron CEO Kenneth Lay), I was elected Governor of Texas.



ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS GOVERNOR:
I changed Texas pollution laws to favor power and oil companies, making Texas the most polluted state in the Union.
I cut taxes and bankrupted the Texas treasury to the tune of billions in borrowed money.
I set the record for the most executions by any Governor in American history.
With the help of my brother, the Governor of Florida, and my father's appointments to the Supreme Court, I became President after losing by over 500,000 votes.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS PRESIDENT:
I invaded and occupied two countries at a continuing cost of over one billion dollars per week.
I spent the U.S. surplus and effectively bankrupted the U.S. Treasury.
I shattered the record for the largest annual deficit in U.S. history.
I set an economic record for most private bankruptcies filed in any 12-month period.
I set the all-time record for the biggest drop in the history of the U.S. stock market.
I set the the all-time record for most days on vacation in any one year period.
After taking off the entire month of August in 2001, I presided over the worst security failure in U.S.history.
In my State Of The Union Address, I lied about our reasons for attacking Iraq, then blamed the lies on our British friends.
I appointed more convicted criminals to my administration than any president in U.S. history.
I set the record for least amount of press conferences of any president since the advent of television.
I presided over the biggest energy crisis in U.S. history and refused to intervene when corruption involving the oil industry was revealed.
I presided over the highest gasoline prices in U.S. history.
I have cut health care benefits for war veterans and support a cut in duty benefits for active duty troops and their families -- in war time.
I have set the all-time record for most people worldwide to simultaneously protest against my policies in public venues (15 million people)shattering the record for protest against any person in the history of mankind.
I've broken more international treaties than any president in U.S. history.
I'm proud that the members of my cabinet are the richest of any administration in U.S. history. My "poorest millionaire," Condoleeza Rice, has a Chevron oil tanker named after her.
I am the first president in U.S. history to order an unprovoked, pre-emptive attack and the military occupation of a sovereign nation. I did so against the will of the United Nations, the majority of U.S. citizens, and the world community.
I created the Department of Homeland Security, the largest bureaucracy in the history of the United States government.
I am the first president in U.S. history to have the United Nations remove the U.S. from the Human Rights Commission.
I am the first president in history to refuse United Nations election inspectors (during the 2002 U.S. election).
My largest lifetime campaign contributor, and one of my best friends, Kenneth Lay, presided over the largest corporate bankruptcy fraud in U.S.history. My political party used Enron private jets and corporate attorneys to assure my success with the U.S. Supreme Court during my
election decision. I have protected my friends at Enron and Halliburton against investigation or prosecution. More time and money was spent investigating the Monica Lewinsky affair than has been spent investigating one of the biggest corporate frauds in history.
The U.S. garnered enormous sympathy after the World Trade Center attacks yet less than a year later I made the U.S. the most hated country in the world, the largest failure of diplomacy in world history.
I am the first president in history to have a majority of Europeans (71%) view my presidency as the biggest threat to world peace and security.
I changed U.S. policy to allow convicted criminals to be awarded government contracts.
I have so far failed to fulfill my pledge to bring Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein(now in custody)to justice.

RECORDS AND REFERENCES:
All records of my tenure as Governor of Texas are now in my father's library, sealed, and unavailable for public view.
All records of SEC investigations into my insider trading and bankrupt companies are sealed and unavailable for public view.
All records or minutes from meetings that I, or my Vice-President, attended regarding public energy policy are sealed and unavailable for public review.

Please consider my experience when voting in 2004

Millions of vets who agree with Schlotz are angry because they believe the Bush administration has looked the other way when it comes to the aging veteran population.

But Bush’s $63.6 billion 2004 VA budget actually comes in at a whopping 7.7 percent increase over last year's allocation – the biggest VA increase in history. The bummer is, that’s far from enough dough to do the job.

Now for the facts regarding our last 3 years with the president:


Strengthening Our Economy. America's families and small businesses have more money to spend, save, and invest because the President proposed and signed into law the Jobs and Growth Act. Under this new law, 91 million taxpayers received, on average, a tax cut of $1,126. Since the President took office, 109 million taxpayers have received, on average, a tax cut of $1,544. 23 million small business owners received tax cuts averaging $2,209. This new law accelerated the tax relief signed into law by the President in 2001, including marriage penalty relief, an increase in the child tax credit, and tax rate reductions for every family that pays income taxes. It also provided new incentives for businesses, especially small businesses, to invest in plants and equipment and create new jobs.

According to the Department of the Treasury, without the fiscal measures implemented under President Bush, there would be as many as 2 million fewer jobs for American workers today.
President Bush's economic leadership is producing positive results. America's economy grew at the strongest rate in almost 20 years in the third quarter of this year. 328,000 jobs have been added over the last four months - the most robust four-month job growth record in nearly three years. More manufacturers are reporting an increase in orders than at any time during the past 20 years.
President Bush signed into law new free trade agreements with Chile and Singapore that will enable U.S. manufacturers and workers to compete on a level playing field and that will continue to open new markets to American products.
 

Making Prescription Drugs More Affordable for Seniors. For the first time in Medicare's history, a prescription drug benefit will be offered to more than 40 million seniors and disabled Americans. The historic legislation the President signed will create a modern Medicare system, providing seniors with prescription drug benefits and more health care choices so they can find the coverage that best meets their needs. It also makes Medicare smarter and more efficient, providing screenings to diagnose and treat health problems early. Beginning next year, seniors will save 10-25% off the cost of most medicines through a Medicare-approved drug discount card, which provides savings until the full drug benefit goes into effect. Beginning in 2006, seniors will be able to join Medicare-approved plans. Beneficiaries who lack coverage will cut their yearly drug costs roughly in half, in exchange for an approximately $35 monthly premium. The more than one-third of seniors with low incomes will be eligible for even

 

Making Health Care More Affordable and Available. The historic Medicare legislation that the President signed included a provision establishing Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) -- tax-free savings accounts that can be used to pay for medical expenses incurred by individuals, as well as spouses and dependents. These HSAs will allow more Americans to save for health care needs, and will allow more small businesses to help workers secure health coverage. This year, President Bush also took action to make it easier for generic drugs to compete with brand-name drugs, saving Americans an average of $3 billion in drug costs each year.

 

Maintaining Fiscal Discipline While Funding America's Priorities. The Fiscal Year 2004 budget funds the President's priorities of winning the war on terror and securing the homeland, while continuing to restrain spending in other areas. The President brought the rate of growth in non-security annual discretionary spending down from 15% in the last budget of the previous Administration to 6% in his first budget, to 5% in 2003, and now to an expected 3% in the current Fiscal Year. When the Senate passes the pending omnibus appropriations bill, growth in annual discretionary spending will be limited to 4%, the same growth rate expected in family income for this year. The President's pro-growth economic policies and fiscal restraint will put us on a solid path toward cutting the deficit in half, to a size that is below 2% of GDP, over the next 5 years.

Expanding Homeownership Opportunities for All Americans. Building on the President's goal to increase minority homeownership by 5.5 million families by the end of the decade, more than 1 million minority families have already become homeowners in the past 18 months. Congress responded to the President's request to help 40,000 low-income families purchase homes by authorizing downpayment assistance through the American Dream Downpayment Act, which the President will sign soon.

 Improving Education for Every Child. Parents, teachers, and principals are seeing a positive difference in America's schools. Signed into law by President Bush in January 2002, the No Child Left Behind Act is raising standards for students and putting the focus on student achievement. This year, all 50 states and the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico now have accountability plans in place for improving public schools and increasing student achievement. And the Bush Administration is investing more money in elementary and secondary education than at any time in American history. All 50 states have received grants totaling $1.8 billion to improve reading instruction and ensure all students are reading at grade level by grade 3.

 

Promoting a Culture of Life. President Bush signed legislation to end the abhorrent practice of partial birth abortion, a late-term abortion procedure that offends human dignity and is not accepted by the medical community. The Department of Justice is vigorously defending the new law in court.

 

Honoring Our Commitment to Veterans. America owes veterans and those on the front lines of freedom a great debt of gratitude. President Bush was pleased to sign legislation that resolved the issue of concurrent receipt in a fair and responsible manner. The President also signed the Military Family Tax Relief Act of 2003 to provide tax relief and other benefits to members of the armed services and their families.

 

Keeping America's Children Safe. President Bush signed the PROTECT Act in April, which gives law enforcement additional tools to prevent, investigate, and prosecute violent crimes against children. The bill strengthens child pornography laws and builds upon the steps already taken by the President to expand, enhance, and coordinate the successful AMBER Alert system across America. President Bush also signed legislation requiring states to conduct criminal background checks on prospective foster and adoptive parents. Fostering a More Compassionate America. The Administration has taken a number of steps to help our most vulnerable citizens by partnering with faith- and community-based charitable organizations.

Removing Barriers to Faith- and Community-Based Groups: The President's executive order to end discrimination against faith-based groups is being implemented and the barriers to faith-based groups are coming down. In September, 4 previously announced regulations were put in final form, making billions of dollars in federal money now available for fair competition. In addition, 6 new regulatory or policy changes were proposed so that all groups competing for federal grant dollars are treated fairly.
Supporting Local Charities: The President's Compassion Capital Fund provided $30.5 million in grants to 81 organizations to provide help and resources to faith-based and community organizations so that they can improve and expand their services. Fifteen faith-based organizations received $7M to support abstinence education.
Providing Mentors for Disadvantaged Youth: In his State of the Union Address, President Bush announced an initiative to provide mentors for disadvantaged youth - including the children of prisoners - to help guide them as they grow into adulthood. Since then, the Bush Administration has made available nearly $9 million in grants to 52 organizations to train adult volunteers as mentors to children whose parents are incarcerated. The Administration provided another $17 million to 121 schools and community-based organizations for school-based mentoring.
 

Building a Culture of Service. The President's initiatives have greatly expanded volunteer opportunities. Through USA Freedom Corps, more than 900 local communities have formed Citizen Corps Councils, doctors and nurses in 170 communities are now part of a new Medical Reserve Corps, Neighborhood Watch programs have doubled, programs providing volunteers to police departments have increased 900 percent, and Community Emergency Response Team training has more than tripled, expanding to 635 communities in 51 states and territories. The Peace Corps received its largest budget ever and has grown to nearly 7,600 members. Protecting and Preserving Our Environment. As part of the President's Healthy Forests Initiative, he signed bipartisan legislation to improve forest health and reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires while upholding environmental laws, restoring our nation's forests, and preserving the forest economy. The Bush Administration proposed stringent new rules on diesel fuel and power plant emissions, which will result in dramatic reductions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and mercury.

Enhancing Consumer Credit Protections. The President proposed and signed into law the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 to ensure citizens are treated fairly when they apply for credit. Consumers now have the right to receive their credit reports free of charge every year. In addition, the legislation creates important new tools to address the growing problem of identity theft by establishing a nationwide fraud alert system.

 

Establishing a "Do Not Call" Registry for Unwanted Telemarketing Calls. On June 27, 2003, the President helped launch the national "Do Not Call" Registry with the Chairmen of the Federal Trade Commission and Federal Communications Commission. Over 54 million phone numbers have been registered on the national list, protecting millions of Americans from most unwanted telephone solicitations.

 

WINNING THE WAR ON TERROR AND ADDRESSING GLOBAL CHALLENGES

 

Protecting Our Homeland and Making Americans More Secure. The Bush Administration has made unprecedented progress in making America more secure.

Reorganizing the Federal Government to Better Address the Terrorist Threat: The Department of Homeland Security officially opened on March 1, 2003, integrating border protection, transportation security, critical infrastructure security, and crisis response into a single department. In his State of the Union Address, President Bush also announced the creation of the Terrorist Threat Integration Center (TTIC), which will enable full integration of U.S. Government terrorist threat-related information and analysis, collected both domestically and abroad. Additionally, the President created the Terrorist Screening Center (TSC) which will drastically improve information sharing among and within federal and local law enforcement agencies.
Helping State and Local First Responders: In Fiscal Year 2003, the President allocated over $5.5 billion to state and local governments to assist in terrorism preparedness including training for first responders. The President will make over $5 billion additional funding available for Fiscal Year 2004, continuing to give our nation's first responders and public health system the training and equipment to prepare, prevent and respond to any future terrorist attacks.
Disrupting Terror Groups and Bringing Terrorists to Justice: The Department of Justice and the FBI have aggressively moved to disrupt terror cells and bring terrorists to justice, and the Treasury Department has frozen over $136 million from over 240 terrorist-related entities.
Addressing Emerging Threats: The President provided a framework for protecting our critical infrastructure by releasing the first-ever National Strategy for the Physical Protection of Critical Infrastructure and the National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace. He also created the National Cyberspace Security Division, the principal federal entity for all cyberspace vulnerability reduction and protective efforts. In March, the President directed the creation of a National Incident Management System to improve response capabilities of federal, state and local activities and the consolidation of multiple federal response plans into a single National Response Plan.
Project BioShield: In his State of the Union Address, the President announced Project BioShield - a major effort to develop new vaccines and other medical countermeasures to protect against the threat of biological and chemical weapons. Project BioShield is fully funded at $5.6 billion.
 
 
Protecting America by Acting to Address the Growing Threat of Saddam Hussein. President Bush led an international coalition to enforce U.N. Resolutions and remove Saddam Hussein's regime. By acting in Iraq, the U.S. and our allies freed 25 million people from a brutal dictatorship that developed and used weapons of mass destruction; cultivated ties to terror groups; harbored known terrorists; defied more than a dozen U.N. Security Council Resolutions demanding that it disarm; and threatened its own people, the region and world. Working with the Iraqi people, we are now learning the full truth about Saddam Hussein's regime, including: the mass graves of more than 300,000 victims of Saddam's brutality; clear evidence of Saddam's illegal weapons program; and previously undocumented ties to terror organizations.
 
Leading the International Effort to Stabilize and Rebuild Iraq. President Bush has clearly said America will stay the course and complete its mission in Iraq, so the Iraqi people can enjoy freedom and the state will not again become a breeding ground for terror. Congress passed both of the President's emergency supplemental budget requests to provide support for rebuilding Iraq and important assistance for our troops.

Building International Support: Our mission has broad support from the international community, including troops from 18 out of 25 current and future NATO countries. The Iraqi people themselves are the largest single contributor of forces and police for security efforts. Most troop contributors have also sent civilian personnel who are participating in the Coalition Provisional Authority's (CPA) reconstruction efforts. At the Madrid donors' conference, 73 countries and 20 international organizations joined together and pledged over $30 billion for Iraq.
Helping the Iraqi People Transition to Democracy: The U.N. Security Council unanimously passed a resolution endorsing the rebuilding efforts in Iraq and calling on the Iraqi Governing Council to present a plan for transitioning to democracy. The Governing Council has already appointed Iraqi ministers to supervise key day-to-day responsibilities. The CPA and the Governing Council have also reached an agreement on a plan that will enable the Iraqi people to take control of their country sooner, while providing time for the Iraqis to draft, debate, and ratify a constitution and create durable institutions acceptable to Iraq's diverse population.
 
 
Helping the Afghan People. America and more than 20 allied countries are working to help the Afghan people rebuild their war-torn nation. More than 15 million Afghan citizens have been freed from the brutal zealotry of the Taliban. The United States led the world in providing humanitarian assistance and reconstruction efforts in Afghanistan. The U.S. Congress passed the Afghanistan Freedom Support Act, which authorizes $3.47 billion for Afghanistan over fiscal years 2003-2006. More than 400,000 metric tons of food has been delivered since operations in Afghanistan began. The United States is assisting in the repair of more than 2,500 miles of roads, including re-establishing the critical Kabul-Kandahar highway link by the end of this year, reconstruction of more than 25 bridges; and the rehabilitation of over 6,000 water wells, canals, dams, and water systems. The fundamental rights and health of women have been a particular area of focus. Millions of Afghan women are experiencing freedom for the first
 
Hunting Down al-Qaida. Although the al-Qaida network remains a threat, it is being dismantled leader-by-leader, and members of the group are being hunted down one-by-one in dozens of countries around the world. Of the senior al-Qaida leaders, operational managers, and key facilitators the U.S. government has been tracking, nearly two-thirds have been taken into custody or killed. Counterterrorist activities against al-Qaida leaders have splintered that leadership and diminished the group's ability to plan and carry out attacks. With the help of allied nations, we have been able to disrupt the cadre of facilitators - movers of money, people, messages, and supplies - that have acted as the glue binding the global al-Qaida network.
 
Promoting a Forward Strategy of Freedom to Expand Democracy in the Muslim World. During his state visit to the United Kingdom, President Bush outlined 3 pillars for increasing the security and peace of the free world. The United States will work to strengthen international institutions and alliances to deal with terrorist groups and rogue states, ensure that free nations have the will and the strength to restrain aggression and despotism, and expand democracy throughout the world as an alternative to despair and terror. The Administration has also committed $129 million to the Middle East Partnership Initiative, a presidential initiative founded to support economic, political and educational reform in the Middle East and champion opportunity for all people of the region, especially women and youth. Leading the Fight Against HIV/AIDS. In his State of the Union Address, President Bush announced the Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief - an historic 5-year, $15 billion effort to turn the tide of the AIDS pandemic. The President's comprehensive plan addresses one of the modern world's most urgent needs by preventing 7 million new HIV/AIDS infections, providing life-extending drugs to 2 million infected people, and caring for 10 million HIV-infected individuals, including AIDS orphans. Only 4 months later, Congress passed legislation authorizing the Emergency Plan based on the President's proposal.
 
 
Building an International Consensus on North Korea. The United States conducted the diplomacy necessary to bring Japan, South Korea, China, and Russia to the table for unprecedented discussions with North Korea on ending Pyongyang's nuclear weapons program. This multilateral approach has strengthened U.S. cooperation with major Northeast Asia powers and has increased the pressure on Pyongyang to completely, irreversibly, and verifiably eliminate its nuclear weapons programs.

Reducing the Spread of Dangerous Weapons. In his September address to the United Nations, President Bush called for a new Security Council anti-proliferation resolution urging all nations to criminalize proliferation activities, to enact strict export controls, and to control any and all sensitive materials within their own borders. This call has received widespread international support. Also, over 50 countries have expressed support for the weapons of mass destruction interdiction principles embodied in the Proliferation Security Initiative, which the President announced in May. The U.S. has taken the lead on deterring and defending against WMD, including developing defenses against ballistic missiles and improving our capacity to protect against chemical and biological attacks, including creation of a network of environmental sensors to detect biological attacks against major U.S. cities.
 
ACCOMPLISHMENTS PENDING IN OMNIBUS APPROPRIATIONS BILL
A number of significant Presidential initiatives are contained in the omnibus appropriations bill that is still pending before Congress, including:

D.C. School Choice: Based on President Bush's request to provide funding for the Choice Incentive Fund, the bill contains funding for a School Improvement Plan for the District of Columbia, including a program to provide low-income parents with opportunity scholarships of up to $7,500 to enroll their children in higher-performing schools.
Funding for AmeriCorps: With passage of the omnibus bill, AmeriCorps is on track to reach the President's goal of 75,000 members after the House approved the largest funding level in the program's history.
Mentoring: Congress will make $100 million in grants available in the coming year for the President's mentoring initiative.
Drug Treatment Funding: In his State of the Union Address, the President announced an initiative to reach the thousands of Americans in search of drug treatment who currently cannot obtain care and who desire greater choices to personal recovery. With passage of the bill, Congress will make $100 million in grants available in the coming year to empower individuals to choose treatment programs that will help them the most, including faith- and community-based institutions.
Millennium Challenge Account: President Bush proposed the creation of new Millennium Challenge Account Initiative that links greater contributions by developed nations to greater responsibility and accountability by developing nations, in order to promote sound policies in the developing world. These sound policies include good governance (including eliminating corruption), investment in the health and welfare of the people, and sound economic policies promoting free enterprise and entrepreneurship. The omnibus bill includes $1 billion to fund the first round of Millennium Challenge Account.

Maintaining Fiscal Discipline While Funding America's Priorities



Come on Rip, even you don't believe that nonsense do you?

I pasted mine from another forum because we should be discussing our current president's hypocrisy and his service to his special interests.  

The president and those around him have lied to all of us to justify the Iraqi war.  That is clear and well documented.  

He didnt finance "no child left behind" and left the states with the bill for compliance, TWO huge tax breaks to the rich (no millionaire left behind), ; his enviro initiatives are a joke (no polluter left behind).

Record deficits, trillions in projected deficit (after inheriting surplus and projected trillions in surplus) AND unemployment numbers that remind me of his daddy's term in the white house.

Bush had the chance to be president.  He could have fulfilled his "uniter not divider" promise but instead he pandered to the far right.  He had too, because he was bought and sold the minute he ran for office.  He had to pay back.

Bush squandered the goodwill of the entire world and needlessly endangered american service men and women for a war we didnt need.  Meanwhile he cuts military benefits, even for veterans.  

Now we are mired in MORE freakin Debt, American jobs going to South America and Asia AND we are involved in two military actions.  WHat a mess

Bush could have been contender after 9/11.  Bush instead proved that he wasn't half the man he pretended to be.

i have no idea what got me a probation no contact was ever made.

my assertions about coacain addiction and military desertion have been stated many times befor and after. they are true


i believe my probation was because of my angry reaction to being called a deserter as a nee jerk reaction by a conservative who i might add is also on probation.

in the end bush is still a deserter and provably so.

stop pretending others writing is yours. if you are to idiotic to even try to say somthing dont spam with others uncredited ( stolen?) works.
Are you talking to Ripsnort or strk?

I know you realize this same thing applies to both of them... right?

Unfortunatly, you will have to vote for the lesser of two evils as the saying goes. Vote green party, because they won't win anyway. That way, your vote didn't really matter, but you still voted. w00t!

No, they aren't.

Well, not unless LDV is a devout disciple of Joseph Goebbels, the man that once boasted: ‘Tell a big enough lie often enough and people will believe it’s true.’


There's absolutely no record of Bush being disciplined for AWOL. NONE.

There isn't even an Article 15 in Bush's record for being AWOL. I'm sure LDV recognizes the A-15 is the lowest form of non-judicial punishment in the UCMJ.

But there is an Honorable Discharge in his records. Surely and eminent military expert like LDV can explain how someone who is AWOL recieves an Honorable Discharge?

I've yet to see civil or criminal records the charge "cocaine addiction" either.

So you go, Joseph LDV.

Whos article is that?  at the moment I could believe it was written by the whitehouse propaganda department created by Bush :D

Hey LDV,

I think Martlet was just looking for some proof to the accusation.  Googling 'Bush deserter' does bring up a multitude of hits, but all that I have seen is repitition of accusation, not proof.
Title: Bush's Resume
Post by: Toad on January 20, 2004, 08:37:05 AM
To LDV, any accusation IS proof. Well, if it agrees with his personal preconceptions.

He likes posting his BS but he just can't ever seem to provide and documentation that proves his statements.

Because there isn't any.

Yeah, LDV, to me it looks like you studied Goebbels' techniques. That sort of stuff is about all you ever post.

I'd say you were pretty much a Weazel clone, except every once in a while Weazel could actually support and document his statements. So it wouldn't be fair to Weazel to make that comparison.

Oh and before you come back with the only thing you can spew right off the top of your head, I'm not saying you're a Nazi. Goebbels just happens to be the guy that is credited with the "say a big lie often enough" statement. So credit where credit is due. It has nothing to do with his political affiliation; if Dick Nixon had said it first, I'd have given him credit for it.

Oddly, when I pointed out to him that by using his logic, he was a deserter also, he got a little upset.

PAST WORK EXPERIENCE:
I ran for the U.S. Congress and lost.
I began my career in the oil business in Midland, Texas in 1975. I bought an oil company, but couldn't find any oil in Texas. The company went bankrupt shortly after I sold all my stock.
I bought a share of the Texas Rangers baseball team in a sweetheart deal that appropriated land using taxpayer money.
With the help of my father and our friends in the oil industry (including Enron CEO Kenneth Lay), I was elected Governor of Texas.



ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS GOVERNOR:
I changed Texas pollution laws to favor power and oil companies, making Texas the most polluted state in the Union.
I cut taxes and bankrupted the Texas treasury to the tune of billions in borrowed money.
I set the record for the most executions by any Governor in American history.
With the help of my brother, the Governor of Florida, and my father's appointments to the Supreme Court, I became President after losing by over 500,000 votes.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS PRESIDENT:
I invaded and occupied two countries at a continuing cost of over one billion dollars per week.
I spent the U.S. surplus and effectively bankrupted the U.S. Treasury.
I shattered the record for the largest annual deficit in U.S. history.
I set an economic record for most private bankruptcies filed in any 12-month period.
I set the all-time record for the biggest drop in the history of the U.S. stock market.
I set the the all-time record for most days on vacation in any one year period.
After taking off the entire month of August in 2001, I presided over the worst security failure in U.S.history.
In my State Of The Union Address, I lied about our reasons for attacking Iraq, then blamed the lies on our British friends.
I appointed more convicted criminals to my administration than any president in U.S. history.
I set the record for least amount of press conferences of any president since the advent of television.
I presided over the biggest energy crisis in U.S. history and refused to intervene when corruption involving the oil industry was revealed.
I presided over the highest gasoline prices in U.S. history.
I have cut health care benefits for war veterans and support a cut in duty benefits for active duty troops and their families -- in war time.
I have set the all-time record for most people worldwide to simultaneously protest against my policies in public venues (15 million people)shattering the record for protest against any person in the history of mankind.
I've broken more international treaties than any president in U.S. history.
I'm proud that the members of my cabinet are the richest of any administration in U.S. history. My "poorest millionaire," Condoleeza Rice, has a Chevron oil tanker named after her.
I am the first president in U.S. history to order an unprovoked, pre-emptive attack and the military occupation of a sovereign nation. I did so against the will of the United Nations, the majority of U.S. citizens, and the world community.
I created the Department of Homeland Security, the largest bureaucracy in the history of the United States government.
I am the first president in U.S. history to have the United Nations remove the U.S. from the Human Rights Commission.
I am the first president in history to refuse United Nations election inspectors (during the 2002 U.S. election).
My largest lifetime campaign contributor, and one of my best friends, Kenneth Lay, presided over the largest corporate bankruptcy fraud in U.S.history. My political party used Enron private jets and corporate attorneys to assure my success with the U.S. Supreme Court during my
election decision. I have protected my friends at Enron and Halliburton against investigation or prosecution. More time and money was spent investigating the Monica Lewinsky affair than has been spent investigating one of the biggest corporate frauds in history.
The U.S. garnered enormous sympathy after the World Trade Center attacks yet less than a year later I made the U.S. the most hated country in the world, the largest failure of diplomacy in world history.
I am the first president in history to have a majority of Europeans (71%) view my presidency as the biggest threat to world peace and security.
I changed U.S. policy to allow convicted criminals to be awarded government contracts.
I have so far failed to fulfill my pledge to bring Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein(now in custody)to justice.

RECORDS AND REFERENCES:
All records of my tenure as Governor of Texas are now in my father's library, sealed, and unavailable for public view.
All records of SEC investigations into my insider trading and bankrupt companies are sealed and unavailable for public view.
All records or minutes from meetings that I, or my Vice-President, attended regarding public energy policy are sealed and unavailable for public review.

Please consider my experience when voting in 2004

I give credit where credit is due. Good or bad.  He wasn't my favorite choice for presidential nomination in 2000, and I've admitted holding my nose when I voted (both major candidates were lousy choices IMO) in 2000, however, the man has accomplished some good things.

Ripsnort,
     It seems that you vote the man and not the party, so I give you a lot of credit for that. I would have voted for McCain if he'd gotten the nomination, but alas, he didn't. I don't have a lot of respect for people that vote party no matter the candidate.

We think alike.  I vote the party, not the issue. Matter of fact, I have voted for Dems in the last few years, within this states races (but I won't admit which ;) Embarassed to say the least)
