EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE

LAW ENFORCEMENT: I was arrested in Kennebunkport, Maine in 1976 for driving under the influence of alcohol.I pled guilty,paid a fine, and had my driver's license suspended for 30 days. My Texas driving record has been "lost" and is not available.

COLLEGE: I graduated from Yale University. I was a cheerleader.

PAST WORK EXPERIENCE:

I ran for 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 the Texas Rangers baseball team in a sweetheart deal that took land using taxpayer money.

With the help of my father and our right-wing friends in the oil industry (including Enron CEO Ken 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. During my tenure, Houston replaced Los Angeles as the most smog-ridden city in America.

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 am the first president in U.S. history to enter office with a criminal record.

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, I presided over the worst security failure in U.S.history.

I am supporting development of a nuclear "Tactical Bunker Buster," a WMD.

In my State Of The Union Address, I lied about our reasons for attacking Iraq, then blamed the lies on our British friends.

I set the record for most campaign fund-raising trips by a U.S. president.

In my first year in office over 2-million Americans lost their jobs and that trend continues every month.

I set the all-time record for most foreclosures in a 12-month period.

I appointed more convicted criminals to administration than any president in U.S. history.

I set the record for least amount of press conferences than 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 me 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 Ministry 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 withdrew the U.S. from the World Court of Law.

I refused to allow inspectors access to U.S. prisoners of war" detainees) and thereby have refused to abide by the Geneva Convention.

I am the first president in history to refuse United Nations election inspectors (during the 2002 U.S. election).

I am the all-time U.S. and world record-holder for receiving the most corporate campaign donations. 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 the 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 ripoffs in history.

I garnered the most sympathy for the U.S. after the World Trade Center attacks and less than a year later made the U.S. the most hated country in the world, the largest failure of diplomacy in world history.

I am first president in history to have a majority of Europeans (71%)view my presidency as the biggest threat to world peace and security.

3. I am getting tired of seeing this "resume"
It is so full of misinformation, completely wrong information and lies.

There is plenty of truthful information to attack him on. We need not promote false information.

4. Oh, sweetheart,
Some of may be overblown, but a lot of it is spot on. There are paper trails for a lot of it.

5. I think their are paper trails to everything but I emailed a request to
Paperclips asking for the edits he would prefer.

He is correct that false stuff is not needed - but I do not know if there is anything false in the resume

for example - the resume says Bush AWOL - and their is a solid trail that shows he was a deserter - but as he was not charged and convicted of either AWOL or desertion, the GOP object to the use of those words -

A murderer that gets away with it is still a murderer - in my opinion - so I see nothing wrong with the AWOL -

but I do not know if paperclips is upset by this type of language choice - or if there are actual errors in the resume!

I await a reply to the email, or a post here.

7. Thanks - curious post - granted the equality question - why was he upset?
But it brought out the fellows who need to keep in their pants when discussing male-female equality.

An interesting discussion !

10. Some of the patently false info in "the resume"
Here are just a couple things in the resume that are absolutely false.

Bush didn't execute a single prisoner in Texas. And I'm not playing funny semantics, claiming that since he didnt inject the poison he didn't kill him. The Governor of Texas does not have the power to commute sentences or grant pardons. The only thing the Governor of Texas can do in regardes to death sentences is to stay the execution for 30 days, one time. That is it.


Largest drop in stock market history? Not even close. Both in terms of single day drops or over a period of time. The loss in the stock market on Bush's watch thus far does not even make it into the top 10 losses in history.

Top Ten Market Crashes from about.com
http://mutualfunds.about.com/library/weekly/aa102802a.htm


Biggest energy crisis in history? Hardly. I would suggest and many would agree that there was a far worse energy crisis in 73-74.


Highest gas prices in history? Not even close.
http://www.energy.ca.gov/gasoline/statistics/gasoline_cpi_adjusted.html

Especially when you compare the portion of cost that is not taxes.


Presided over the biggest stock market fraud in history? Well, Presidents "preside". But the accounting fraud that took place happened prior to Shrubs taking office. No one has shown a single shred of evidence that he was a knowing accomplice in the fraud. And while were on the topic of presiding, Bush presided over the Marlins winning the world series! Did he have anything to do with it? NO!

I could go on and on and one with things in this "resume" that are wrong, false, lies, etc... Do some research and don't be so gullible as to believe everything you read.

As we people have agreed, there is plenty of truthful info out there. Far more than we will ever be able to use.

But when people start promoting false information, and those you show it to realize or learn that it is false, when you do come to them with the truth they are not going to believe you.

11. Well, thank you for coming here to defend Bush
I also enjoyed your GOP talking points on the thread about government spending and your lame attempt at humor in the Dean is a metrosexual thread.

Enjoy your brief stay because it really seems to me you got lost on your way somewhere else. :hi:

12. Lame humor?
I suspect that you are not a fan of South Park. My comments on the Dean thread were quotes from the South Park episode on metrosexuals. Get a sense of humor will you.

Defending Bush? If you think pointing out LIES in information being spread by our side in an attempt to defeat Bush is a defense of Bush you are sadly mistaken.

As stated in my post, if we promote false information, when we promote true information it will be harder to get people to believe it.

14. Oh
and show me how I am lying and the resume is right on the matters I listed as wrong.

And I only listed a few. There are far more on the resume that are wrong.

8. It's true in essence...
A few details may be off.

For example, he never "bought" the Texas Rangers. He was only able to become part owner with his take from Harkin oil.

There's continuing controversy about whether he was "AWOL" or "a deserter" from the Guard; accurate terminology is important. Of course, the good stuff about how his father finagled him into the Guard is missing.

It's always heartening when a newcomer is full of advice about what "we" need to do!
