"My hope is to change the culture from one that has said, if it feels good, do it; if you've got a problem, blame somebody else — to one in which every single American understands that he or she is responsible for the decisions that you make." President G.W.Bush
BUahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahah!

actually, I agree with that statement.
although I'm less than charmed by the little weazel, he does have lucid moments when he works from the prepared text.

Don't take it too personally, he is, after all, speaking of your culture that you grew up in, and are quasi-responsible for...I've been saying this very same thing for years on this BBS.
-
I agree!
I don't care what the left or the right say about him. He does what he says he would do and he blames the people who deserve to be blamed when things go wrong. Not who the left wants him to blame.
I don't agree with him on some things but I can't help but like him for sticking to his word. (as best as you can in politics)
-
IMHO he is correct.
He has also done something that hasn`t been seen for quite some time here.......that being showing some cajones instead of bowing to wants and snivelings of other little cowardly nations. His actions have been a great effort in protecting our country from future attacks that were most certainly to come and esclate if we continued to hold hands and bow to the olive branch wavers.
When some threat comes to you, you do not wring your hands and say "Gosh, I wish you old meanies would stop it". You kick their *** back to last week and don`t wait for them to build strength and backing.
He has been a real pain in the posterior for the sqeamish. That`s a good thing.

What culture is that?

I agree with the statement too.... It just is patently clear that Bush doesn't.
And which Country did you grow up in Rip?

Did not Bush take responsibility for Katrina recently? Turn off the Democratic underground once in a while and actually see whats happening in our country for a change.
What country did I grow up in? "The" country. Farm country. Apple pie, mothers and fathers that raised kids responsibly and value work ethics. We had no knowledge of the "Berkeley Culture" except for what we saw on the news in the evenings. Sorry to hear you may have been a part of that "Peace, Love and Dope" culture. Seems the mothers and fathers of that "Berkeley era" gave birth to higher school drop out percentages, abortions, increased divorces and lower the overall academic architecture of America....its very evident today, don't you agree?

This is one of the definitions of Stalinism. The thing they have been fighting since 1956 and finally succeded here: no noone is responsible for anything any more.

First of all.... Bush taking responsibility:
"Katrina exposed serious problems in our response capability at all levels of government and to the extent the federal government didn't fully do its job right, I take responsibility,"
If that isn't backhanded enough for ya... how exactly did he take that responsibility? By saying it? LOL. He's STILL got Brownie on the payroll.
How about taking responsibility for that lousy Supreme Court nomination.....
NOpe! He's blaming the Democratic minority in congress for asking for too many papers. Heheeeee. Dude! This is rich!
And as for me being in the peace love dope generation..... you don't know jack.
-
LOL.. yah; look at us all dodging the responsibility bullet.
This sorry bellybutton state of affairs happened on OUR watch gents. You, me, all of us are responsible.
Think about THAT on election day.
I know I sure as hell will be and I will never again shirk my duty as an American to vote, to speak out and stand in line at the polls.
Remember, politics starts in your home town, with your school board, with your county and town's elected officals.
Do yer damn duty, beiatch, moan, make a scene.. but lets all agree to do something besides watch the news and shake our heads.
Make the news happen. Don't sit on your helpless fat bellybutton and just watch it.

You can't pin this on me. I didn't vote for the current clown.
-
at least yah voted, sandy.
That's a big plus.
I don't give a damn if folks beyatch.. as long as they vote. Bless yah. Keep exercising the franchise. Find somebody you know that doesn't vote and get his bellybutton registered and make sure he gets to the polls. Lever the bastards outta the recliners.
Hum a few bars of 'Alices Restreraunt'.. I doin't give a tinkers damn what it takes.. but lets get the folks on YOUR block, MY block, every damn block in America to stand up and be counted.
You want the war over? You wanna Escalate? Don't give a damn. Find the guy that sings yer tune, get him or her registered, get 'em to the polls.
For once, lets see what a mandate looks like when the PEOPLE vote.

Taking responsibility for a nomination....oooookay. I think he DID when he MADE the nomination (Thinking of a good blonde joke here, but it would be editted). As for the democrat minority in congress, Uhhh, does Clarence Thomas ring a bell? The democrats just LOVE to find mud, any mud, to disrupt any nomimation...why do you suppose they do that?
Brownie is on the payroll, for another 30 days. We'll see what happens then. Remember it was the press that crucified Brownie...but naturally you'd trust them before anyone, and Dan Rather is your uncle...
Regarding your past...I think the content and opinions of your posts speak for themselves, loud and clear. ;) Rock on, dude. Peace!

Oh yes, let's vote for some other liars and cheats so we can all rally again at the next election. blah, blah, blah, rinse, repeat.
I am not going to be happy until we have the option to vote for "None of the above" and that option to be taken seriously.

Vote for Skuzzy! :aok

But what are the consequences of "No Government in power"? Seriously? We must focus our attention of the "lessor of two evils" then vote that direction. Can you imagine Kerry in office right now? I can't. Bush has screwed up, but I can't imagine him screwing up as badly as a liberal dem like Kerry could have...
-
If 50% of the people vote for "None of the above", then the parties must go back and pick someone else to run, and we keep doing that until we get a winner.
Otherwise, we are just changing the name of the people in power, and nothing else. One day the parties might get the hint, we are not going to take it anymore.
How else can, "we the people" send that message?
-
Incidently Skuzzy, this whole thread was just an attack on my signature that I've carried now for 3 months...maybe his conscience finally triggered an anger where he felt he must dedicate a thread with the subject of my signature. ;) Sometimes the mirror frightens us when we see our reflection.

I know why it started.

I'm for it. How do we get it on the ballot?

I'm for that. I'm also for some sort of compromise between "Electorial votes" and actual numbers counted.

You have just that opportunity coming up in Texas, Skuzzy. Don't vote in the gubenatorial primary elections. Then, sign the petetion to get Kinky Friedman on the ballot and vote for him in the general election.

Point one, if it will actually happen, and we have to have ‘re-election’ then who is going to cover the cost?
Point two. In order for that 50% to work, general population must be educated in the politics and actually sincerely care about its issues. Since both parties put forward blend of nothingness and neither party makes changes which affect people as a whole, no population will magically ‘care’ about something which does not affect its lives.

Blaming her withdrawal on the request for additional papers is hardly taking responsibility. Maybe it would be more honest to just come out and say it was a mistake? Maybe he should admit that he didn't have the votes to confirm her? Maybe you forget that the Dems were the majority party when Thomas was nominated.
Brownie has been reupped for another 30.. You like paying the salary of a proven liar and incompetant? (bet you can't answer that without a Clinton reference)
Regarding my past... you are on thin ice. I am the product of a WW2 Army Air Corps vet who became the CEO of a company with 1/2 billion a year in sales... without a college degree. And a woman who graduated summa cum laude from the University of Illinois in 1945. You know, back when women didn't do those things. Which one exactly would you call the peace love dope generation?
You continue to soldier on without the facts .... thats an admirable quality Rip..

Gimme a break. Its obvious the democrats would to their very best to block any nomination the prez puts up no matter who he puts up. Any way they can.
Even if he nominated The most qualified liberal democrat on the planet whos qualifications and intergrety were beyond any possible refute.
The democrats would try to block him anyway if for no other reason then he nominated that person.
Heh, speaking of Democrats and Republicans I heard a comedian the other night discribe our two parties perfectly.
The Republicans are full of bad ideas
And the Democrats have no ideas.
and there is nothing worse then when the two decide to work together
A republican will get up and say "I Have a really bad idea"
and a Democrat will get up and say "Wait. I can make it worse"
Pretty dern accurate I think

you know whats funny.
I know of several instances where people run for election for local offices with no opponent running against them.
To take it a step farther I've even seen therse people running (against zero oposition) going through the motions of bothering to put up "Vote for" signs all over the place as IF they had someone running against them.
Some of these people have been in office for years and years and nobody bothers to run against them
and this isnt for just one town either.

Make the parties responsible. Hit them where it will hurt (the wallet) and it will give them incentive to make sure they are putting their best foot forward. I would also be willing help cover election costs *if* I knew for certain we had some control over the people we have to chose from.
How many people either said or thought, "This is the best we have to offer for President?" in the last election? I, for one, believe we can do better, but *we* were not given a choice.

No changes required to the level of education, as the population currently votes as it is. Just add the option to the ballot and give us a real chance to make a good decision, rather than voting for the least of the evils.
You were quick to point out failings of the idea. Are you happy wih the status quo? Or do you have another idea worth perusing?

Not the same thing. Doing it after the fact, destroys any chance for continuity and is more disruptive. Take a look at any state who has booted a governor from office to realize it does not work and is far more detrimental to the state than to not have put a putz into office in the first place.
-
I think I get it... do the 'none of the above' on the Primary too... hell on every ballot for every office from dogcatcher on up.
I like it.
How do we do it?
-
And that is the larger issue Hang. We are not in control of it. I would really like to hear how we could do it.
-
I don't like Bush.
I voted for him only because there was a chance the other commie socialist buffoon would get in and make my life worse with more restrictions and commie big government.
Given the choice.... I would do it again the same way.
I was heartened by the fact that Bush did do as he said he would and kept his word on the gun issues. He made things better... the other guys woulda made em much worse.
It has been a very long time since I have voted for a candidate rather than against his opponent.
I believe that it is impossible for a politician to get into a large state of national election and have a chance of winning if he is not scum of the earth.
My only choice in voting is to pick the guy who appears to be able to do me the least damage.
This election was very important in that respect as it decieded some real important issues in the American system of power over us... the apointment of judges... the 2 supremes especially. I hope he has the guts to get a real live constitutionalist on now.

So that will force parties to find another way to get large sums of money…..I see so many wrong things with that….
What I’m saying is that people do not care. They will not care if there’s a N/A choice either. They learn of politicians from 30 seconds commercial which is moronic if you think about it. That 30 seconds usually does not cover a single idea, it just shows pretty and deceitful images. That’s why I ‘shoot down’ your idea, it will not accomplish anything. This issue has deeper roots than just a box on a ballot. Once people actually care about issues, we will not need a blank box… Maybe you are into politics, but general population is rather be stuck in front of a tube then to gather information about their upcoming vote.
-
It is really easy to shoot down every idea which proposes changes. It is much harder to make those changes than to accept the status quo.
You have to start somewhere or you never get anything done. You can never get a system in place which cannot be corrupted. It is not the system at fault. The fault lies within the people we employ to run our government.
To change who we trust at the helm, we need to have a system which will be intolerable of those who do corrupt it.
-
The none of the above option actually belongs in the Primary. It can be held far enough in advance so that the actual main electin can continue after the political party gets the message and regroups. As to how to get it on the ballot, that was covered in civics / social studies / government or whatever term they used to cover the classes on how the government is structured to work. Think petition and go from there. Secondly if you are interested in how any political party chooses it's cantidates go get involved at the local level. Every party has options at the local level for you to get into the "system" and work for what you believe. If you don't do this you really have done nothing but sit back and wait for someone else who did do that to make the decisions as to who will run at any level then serve them up to you like pablum.
On another related subject. If you didn't vote last election and you were eligable, you have no reason to ***** and or complain. You shirked your own personal responsibility to have a say in how things are done. Just simply STFU and go sit in the corner because you had a chance to participate but couldn't summon the backbone to do it. Don't complain because someone else was able to do more than the nothing you did and things didn't go your way.
-
Not everyone has the luxury of having the time to get directly involved with the process Maverick. I certainly don't. I, like most people, rely on those who can get involved to help make the right decisions.
So far, it ain't working. I wish I did have time to get directly involved.
The petition would only work at the state level, if memory serves. Without it being implemented nation-wide it would be an exercise in futility. Am I wrong here?
-
Skuzzy,
No one on this BBS is too busy to make a few phone calls, send e-mails or write letters. If they were, they wouldn't be posting here.
Primaries are all done at the state level. The primary is for you to tell the members of the party who you want placed on the ballot. Much of the work is done ahead of time but if you didn't do the petition, letter writing, caucasing etc. then you didn't make your voice heard before the pablum container came by.

This crap just keeps on getting funnier. You and I are almost the same age. Where exactly does that "generational" thing split?
Truth be known I was planning to do a riff on that Bush quote for a while. It is hilariously hypocritical. The fact that it was part of your sig only put frosting on the cake.
BTW... name calling must be something from your generation.
-
Maverick, I have done my fair share of letter writting. It all falls on deaf ears (I have written to state and federal persons and have never gotten a response).
I have participated in large organized protests and nothing (a coalition of over 1,000 business owners attempting to prevent large coporations from unfairly charging people for services being rendered on behalf of said corporations by smaller companies).
While it appears there are processes in place, many times they simply do not work, for whatever reason.

It is fairly easy here... we have phone numbers of our representitives. When a bill is being considered you can call the commie witch and tell her that you are for it or oppose it. some mush brained little commie in training will choke out a strained "thank you" and would ignore you except...
the rep needs to send you a letter thanking your for your support/opposition (check one) of the bill... if you don't get the letter... the little jerkoff that took the call tossed it.
I also tell people of like mind to call.
It isn't much but it feels slightly better to have done it... kinda like voting in that respect.
The last time I went on a "rally" was to oppose MTBE additive in gasoline. we had about 5,000 people but were ignored as everyone knows that MTBE is harmless and useful. I still feel better for doing it.
speaking out here is not such a bad thing either.. Don't know if anyones mind is changed but it often makes me do the research and rethink things... certainly others are affected the same way.
