The one time W told the truth, "I'll run the government like a business!"

[Hubert Flottz]

He has run it exactly like a cat-house! Only the johns who contribute get all the good stuff. And Bush has put a million miles on AF 1, while out pimping his wares!

[niyad]

1. he ruined every business he ever ran, so he did just the same here

[Hubert Flottz]

9. Bush could maybe do okay if...

The Freepers would help him out!

[jayctravis]

18. ...run the government into the ground like a business...

[opihimoimoi]

2. The Reeps are going nuts trying to figure out HOW TO RECOVER

They got Bush in Charge of Recovery...

How to get the PUB MOJO Back?

Its like how to get a disease back once recovered...ya don't want a recurrance... But the Pubs still cling to Bush and his stupid decisions....

THE NATION IS IN A RECOVERY MODE FROM A 6 YEAR ILLNESS....WE DON'T WANT THE REEPS TO RECOVER...especially with BUSH IN CHARGE...

THEY GONNA GIVE US ANOTHER 6 YEAR MIGRAIN

[Hubert Flottz]

5. "But the Pubs still cling to Bush and his stupid decisions...."

How quickly the foolish fathful forget!

A week ago the last thing the GOPers wanted was for Bush to come and campaign for them. The ones he did campaign for LOST! So NOW...Bush is going to save them? That kind of planning on the part of the GOP is the reason we find our country in a world of shit!

The democrats are the only paddle in sight and America is miles up shit crik thanks to Bush's open for monkey bidness attitude!!

[opihimoimoi]

24. Steady now Hubert...them pubs are on line trying to denigrate the Dems by

saying the Dems are fighting among themselves....they are promoting divisiveness among our friends and Dem Leaders.

All Nancy has to do is deliver the goods...and she is doing just that. Contention and discussion is healthy for any debate...even among the DEMs....

Lets not forget the Sheep Pubs let Bush run with the ball for 6 years and for 6 years he failed to get a touchdown ... earned less than 30 yards a game.....

As such, only the brain comp'd listens to the dude these days....

Come, we go help Nancy and Reid...they need us....

[Hubert Flottz]

25. We gots to keep the full court press on the outlaw klan from Texas

Stampeed those StamPeeders back to the stone age. I think the sheeple are wise to the wolves out there in GOPer land now and even the pet goats are seeing how baaaaaaaaaaad bush really is.

I know the wheels turn slow, but you gots to crack the whip sometimes to keep them congresscritters movin'.

I just had a big bowl of home made veggie soup and a big slab of corn bread. Mighty fine groceries on a cold and windy November day! Willy helped me knock out that pan of cornbread and is in the kitchen barking treed, at the big soup pot on the cookstove.

[opihimoimoi]

26. FULL COURT PRESS is egzactly right...don't let them recover, rebound else we get more stuck in the

swamp called Conservatism....

And,,,they say they they wanna Rebound by "Going back to their roots"?????

Its like they wanna cling to a NightMare...don't these guys ever LEARN???

Damn, they do wanna cling..............
WHY is that man?

Are they victims of the Stockholm Syndrome.....The GOP thinks what they are doing is GOOD??? Even as they see the results...?

[Hubert Flottz]

27. The Pub's "VISION they're always harping about is always the

Same...OPTICALRECTITUS = a shitty outlook. From a totally narrow minded perspective.

A democrat may ask...Why are the GOPers so stupid and ignorant and DUMB? And a question like that would be what separates us from them. We ask many questions and we learn the answers about many things.

A GOPer only asks this one question, EVERY TIME, about EVERYTHING..."What's In It For ME?"

They are the ME party!

Democrats are the WE party!

[opihimoimoi]

28. Pearls of Wisdom from your mouth , my friend....simply marvelous...

Keep it up...and I don mean yo dick....LOL

[unpossibles]

3. that's something I've never understood - their desire to make it more like

a business, as if that makes it automatically more efficient or something. I've seen some seriously inefficient practices in business that make your head spin, not to mention that human greed and corruption can happen in any environment or system, so it's not like it would be inherently cleaner either.

I find it funny also that the righties I know trust "business" and distrust "government" without question and assume we are the opposite: that we trust government and hate business. Most lefties I know don't necessarily trust or distrust either as a concept, but do tend to try to trust the examples of either that work, and not trust the examples which don't.

I'm fine with a blend of whatever is necessary, and I do not understand fearing the government in a democracy (although I did start to do so under Bush, but that is because he as dismantling the safeguards).

Also, we get painted with the broad brush of socialism or that we hate success or anything remotely capitalistic or merit based, which is patently absurd. First of all, there are things to be learned from socialist practices, just as there are capitalist. They are systems, not god-sends or boogeymen. A free market does not inherently equal fairness at all, any more than creating a government safety net program equals becoming a hard-line communist. It disturbs me how much lingering McCarthyist fear there is, and how it is used as a barnd for the left by the right (including the MSM).

4. You misunderestimate Bush

He was telling the truth here, too:

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."

—Washington, D.C., Aug. 5, 2004

[Hubert Flottz]

7. Okay he told the truth twice...

You got me that time!

It's a lot easier to count the truths than the lies!

Edit...Do numbers go far enough to count his lies?

[Abies]

11. I dunno, numbers go pretty far

It would probably take a few lifetimes to count all the lies, though!

For the honest quotes, you could count them on one hand.

[Hubert Flottz]

12. Welcome to DU, BTW, rampaging_cynic

You came to the right place!

[Abies]

16. Thank you Hubert Flottz

I've been here awhile (mostly lurking), I just have a glacially slow posting rate!

[opihimoimoi]

14. "....and neither do we??????" Bush was right...he is thinking of innovative

ways to harm America.....Look at the evidence....

[Greyhound]

6. The incompetent tyranny of the MBA's.

He has, in fact, run the country exactly like an amerikan corporation, incompetently with no consideration of any consequences beyond short-term personal profit.

[Joe Chi Minh]

8. I think that was Reagan's bright idea, too. Let's sell the family

jewels, then get heavily leveraged! Heck, we can pass the taxation on to the rabble and their descendants.

[Hubert Flottz]

10. Reagan was a sorry excuse for a human being...

I'll bet he and the Devil are big pals now!

[Joe Chi Minh]

13. You rate him as highy as a mammal?

Somehow, I don't think anything as comforting as friendship will be available down there. Ever.

[Hubert Flottz]

15. Nixon, Reagan, Bush and Bush are the Devil's superfecta...

[radfringe]

17. he or a disciple of his must be running my workplace

I often compare the company as being in ICU and the doctors are wondering if there is a DNR order around...

I have a short list that I call the Rules of Business. In today's discussion with the co-workers - we added a rule #5.

The rules of business:

1. Logic does not apply

2. When the right person gets pissed, something will be done

3. If you don't own the company - you're expendable

4. If you don't know where you are going, you won't know where you are when you get there.

5. The Christmas rule: YOU do all the work, and the fat guy in the red suit gets the credit

[Hubert Flottz]

20. Rule #5. is one I've always seen in action everywhere I've worked

The ones that work the hardest go on the first layoff and the butt munchers stay the course.

The bosses seem like they thrive on cutting off their noses to spite their faces and then the blame is the only thing that trickles down in any large quantities in most cases.

BTW, I never did find a recipe for those low calorie atta-boys they hand out instead of raises!

[Old and In the Way]

19. He sure has.

He's raided the Treasury,replacing the cash with IOU's, and outsourced everything. Given his buddies fat, no-bid contracts. The stockholders (us) are going to be pissed when the next CEO opens the books and delivers the bad news.

[Hubert Flottz]

21. Dumbya's way of running a buisness, is a model that is ALWAYS ...

doomed to fail!

I've seen lots of business owners who operate just like Bush, go belly up. They write the big checks to themselves when the getting is good and give the workers very little. Soon they guys who operate like Bush are in massive debt, because of the taking and taking from the company and spending to build their own fortune and image amongst the other fat cats, without ever putting anything back into the company, to keep it going, so that everyone who works for the company, benefits from the work that was done.

The sad result of Bush's afflicted business model, is clearly visible, in New Orleans and even in the potholes that are tearing up your new tires and the front end suspension and steering linkage of your car and endangering your grandchildren's lives, every time they go bye-bye!

But Bush don't care, cause Bush got his loot! So now Poppy will try and save Junior's ass and the country can go to hell, as far as Poppy and friends care...Cause they got theirs too!

[subterranean]

22. It's true, he does run the government like a business

A business called Enron.

[Hubert Flottz]

23. I hear ya!

Fuzzy accounting and heavy duty shredding! I hope W joins Kenny Boy at the new nazi rach in South America real soon.
