View Full Version : Now We're talkin'
Quote[/b] ]"I don't know, it's hard to characterize the great moments. They've all been busy moments, by the way," Bush said, apparently trawling his memory for good times since 2001.
"I would say the best moment was when I caught a 7 1/2-pound largemouth bass on my lake," he said eventually.
After 5 years, this guy is making some sense. #Best moments include the greatest accomplishments in my books, and this is as good as it gets for Dubya.Article (http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/news/politics/14527019.htm)
When asked for THEIR best moments over the past five years, Democrats were COMPLETELY stumped.
Hard to show a highlight reel when you are batting .000.
Haw!
Out.

Whaddya know! I agree with Bush! Pulling out that fish definitely has been the highlight of his tenure.

What is not well known is that the largemouth bass was another Democrat swallowing the bait, hook, line and sinker.
Largemouth bass are Democrats - hence the name. Other Democrat fishies include the dubious brown trout and the ever present crinkled neck bass.
Don't Democrats realize that it's hard to win the game from the BENCH??
Demodoodz --- Put up a decent candidate -- or even a HALF decent candidate -- and many of us will vote for him. Gore? KERRY?? Your wounds seem to be kinda SELF-INFLICTED.
Well, just keep sniping at the PLAYAHS. You'll get some more swings at the plate after you wise up a bit.
Good day, sirs.

It would have been much more appropriate if he'd caught a Flounder. It would be the perfect symbol of his Presidency and the current Congress. Flounders have both their eyes on their right side, which explains their myopia.

Unless he threw the fish back, I'm sure the fish would agree that Bush's best moment was his worst.

I am surprised the Fish didn't somehow pull Bush in the lake and win.

I was wondering why I see so many largemouths at the tax-i-dermist.
This explains allot AND why I enjoy salt water fishing so much more.

Yes Bush is smarter than the average Bass. Now a Trout.. that may be a close one.

He's smart enough to know that acting stupid garners political support.
It doesn't cast our electorate in a particularly good light, does it?

But Bill.... They were elected TWICE! TWICE! They won because the Democrats ran buffoons against them.
Americans had a chance to re-cast their votes in 2004, and guess who won again?
I'm not claiming to be the biggest GWB fan out there, but look who the alternative was. Come on!
dit dit
Only in America do we refer to decorated war heroes as "buffoons", and highly revere deserters. Our forefathers would be so ashamed. Why should they have bothered to risk and give so much to see the nation tear itself apart like this? One of my colleagues says that he is satisfied with losing a few soldiers a day in Iraq because there are no terrorist attacks on American soil any more. What is this? Why should Butt Laden risk his or Uranus to lift a finger? Just have 3sy do the job. He does not even need a wiretapped phone call to do it. He already has sympathizers here.
How can anyone say that someone won an election when the votes were not all counted? That is absurd. You can't tell me that the votes were completely counted. I saw the Supreme court ruling.

Let's see now. Who was it who avoided the draft by leaving the country or otherwise went into hiding? Hmmm. No. I think Cheney used the excuse that he was getting married and the military cramped his style.
Who the heck are you talking about that was the draft dodging Vice President?

And elected our first convicted felon, complete business Failure, and Druggie who was grounded for not taking a drug test.
I lost a lot of faith that 51% of the American people could be bamboozled by Karl Rove to elect a known loser like Bush.

You forgot the reelection part.
2000 - Bush or the Clinton android.
2004 - Bush or a pathological liar. #
Now you can defend Gore or Kerry anyway you want but the overly simplified comparisons above were among the core reasons 51% of the people voted for Bush.
Please don't use the argument that the 51% were either stupid or bamboozled by Rove. #Rove is a rank amateur political trickster as compared to James Carville.
Like we've been trying to tell ya' give us a viable candidate from your party and you just might win by overwhelming numbers instead of losing by such a slim margin that you have to resort to whining like a bunch of ten years old that the other side cheated. #
The Democrats have a very good chance of winning the White House back - much like after Watergate when the Democrat candidate should have won in a cakewalk. #
In that general election, Carter started with a huge lead over President Gerald Ford, but Ford steadily closed the gap in the polls. The cause of this erosion appeared to be public doubt about such a little-known candidate. But Carter hung on to narrowly defeat Ford in November 1976. He won by 50.1% of the popular vote. #Despite some abysmal failings of his presidency, I don't recall any Republicans bitching and moaning the fact that they were cheated in the election.
Carter served one term - public distrust of him was so great that we elected a movie star to replace him!
Against Reagan, Carter carried only 5 states, WV, MD, GA, MN and HI. #Reagan carried 91% of the elector vote and 51% of the popular vote as compared to Carter's 41%.
My point: #As I mentioned, the Dems have a very good chance of getting the White House back in 2008 - Don't blow it by accepting the first gas bag that comes along. #Bush won two close elections - Yes - face reality - he won. #Had the Dems put someone else up for the presidency that didn't have ties to the corrupt Clinton administration, they might have won that election and the last six years may have been a lot different. #I say may have - because I suspect that 9/11 would still have occured and that we would still be in a war against terrorism today. #
I digress - give us a good candidate - one without strings attached and the Dems will have a sitting president. #
And please - no more southern governors from either party.

The other species of fish that relates to this story is the Sucker.
Suckers are bipartisan. A lot of them are true believers in this Administration, and think this Congress is actually doing something besides cutting taxes for billionaires.
The Suckers in the other party believe a lot of strange stuff, too. If they win the next election, they'll end up getting the blame for all the stuff this bunch has done. That's what happens to Suckers.
And so it goes.

I dunno. The way things go in this country, whoever takes over probably will get the blame for the mess. People keep expecting immediate results and generally don't understand that it takes time to clean up, and that it'll generally get worse before it gets better.
I predict that by 2010, whoever's in charge will be under fire for precisely this reason.

Yeah, but that would never happen. The party of college children, stay-at-home dads, alternate lifestylers, Internet geeks, aging ex-hippes, illegal aliens, gimme-gimme-gimme's, soccer moms, and criminal huggers seem to want Hillary Rodham-Rodham on the ticket. The Zell Millers and Joe Liebermans of the world don't have a chance at all.

Yeah. Zell Miller was one of the main victory factors for Bill Clinton. Good Choice!

Yeah, I'd vote for Zell except for one thing - he's already 74 years old and will be 76 by the time the elections roll around.
Lieberman would also get my vote but I suspect that a large percentage of the population wouldn't vote for him just because of his religious affiliation.
I suspect that we'll see Hillary trotted out as the choice for America and the other party will give us a Bob Dole look alike.
