What has Bush done to deserve any sympathy from anyone ?

[kentuck]

He sure as hell wouldn't give any sympathy to anyone. He deserves just what he tries to give to his opponents and his enemies. He doesn't give any due to anyone. Why should anyone give anything to him?

Normally, I would feel sympathetic to anyone going thru what Dubya is experiencing at this time. But, by golly, he is so undeserving.

1. Nothing. eom

2. I got a tax cut

That my kids will have to pay back with interest.

And I sold my stockpile of military surplus body bags on Ebay last month.

3. He deserves nothing but the calumny he has so thoroughly earned. n/t

4. As a sociopath, he cannot be treated the same as a normal person...

It's like thinking a sex offender can be trusted with teaching a kindergarten class. It's not their fault they are twisted, but they cannot be forgiven or trusted because they will only do it again.

5. I can think of one thing but it doesn't count

When his little sister died he wouldn't go out and play with his friends because he felt like he needed to cheer his mother up.

He's blown up so many children now, though, that it's hard for me to sympathize like I did when I read that story a long time ago. It was a blessing to the little girl that she didn't have to grow up knowing that her father and brothers are mass murderers. Only the good (Bushes) die young.

6. There was not a lot of sympthy for Gerald Ford either.

Other than his pardon of Nixon, he wasn't even close to being the a$$hole Bush is.

7. I think Bush is besides the point, now. The real power play is happening

at the Federal Department/Congressional level.

Personally, I have no feelings about him either way, except to say he's a caricature of a President. Always has been.

Dismissing Pres. Bush as an ineffective and incompetent administrator and focusing on the rest of the crew who are actually in charge may be a good bet for '06...if not '08.

Bush will do what he does, I presume, and some Republican zealots will rant about "supporting the President"...but most folks seem to have a sense that this Administration is less about Bush - as far as operations go - than the Department heads and advisers who seem to be making policy and carrying it out.

'06 will be a telling time...will the RNC need Bush as a front man again? He was used in the past to rally a small, monied and effective cadre of religious conservatives. He seems to be losing support from both the military and intelligence communities within the government and is proving to be an embarrassment in the "world leader" department...

Bush is obviously not in charge, he's very rarely even home these days. I think we ought to move on that.

My quick 2 cents...

8. I felt a few drops on my head the other day. I think maybe Bush

was trickling down on me; but I'm not certain. Finances are still tight. :shrug:
