"George W Bush has conviction.......
you may not like what he says or does but at least he makes up his mind and he does it."

i keep hearing this (callers on CSPAN too)

are these people THAT DRUNK?

:wtf: does THAT mean?

i should support him because he DOESN'T listen to me? because he is an idiot who DOESN'T learn from his mistakes? THAT is something i should support?

:wtf:

15. A robot has conviction. You wind it up and goes until the batteries run
out. It doesn't think, reason, or care.

2. These callers must live in a fantasy world
where there are only good guys/bad guys, clear cut choices, and where once your mind is made up, you never have to change it.

BTW, at first I misread the title of the thread-hopeful thinking on my part-I thought it said, "George W. Bush is convicted...."

6. It's true
When he made up his mind that "My Pet Goat" needed to be read, then by golly, nothing was going to stand in the way of him reading "My Pet Goat". To heck with things going on around him, that simple-minded clarity of focus is what we're looking for.

A lesser person would have been distracted and never finished "My Pet Goat". Not our president.

And when failed foreign policy causes a quagmire or irresponsible tax cuts balloon the deficit, by golly he stands by those guns too.

But when it comes to the 9/11 commission or the Homeland Security department or funding No Child Left Behind or anything else, he'll do a 180 in a heartbeat.

7. Yeah, Jim Jones had conviction too.
I'm more and more convinced there is a collective psychosis going on in the Republican ranks - it just defies understanding.

10. Support him because he stuck by his decision NOT to read the Hart-Rudman
report on global terror when it was handed to him on Jan 30, 2001.

That's something only a truly great president concerned about the security of the nation would do.....

...in Bizarro World.

11. They've been watching way too many action movies
where the macho hero sizes up the situation instantly, when everyone else is running around in a panic. Then the ice cold, ultimately skilled hero quickly calms all the helpless under beings, assigns them nice soothing tasks and goes off to single handedly whoop the bad guys. Action hero man always knows instantly on sight who is a bad guy (the dark, arabic appearance in a sea of innocent white faces helps) and obliterates said bad guys in a blaze of flying lead without once hitting an innocent white face. And at the end, action hero man is grimly prepared for the next battle with evil doers that will surely come.

That's our georgie, don't ya know?

16. He BRAGS about this. I was reading something (maybe it was...
...an excerpt from his autobiography ?), and he was spouting some bullshit like, "I make up my mind and stick to it."

:wtf:

A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. ---Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)
