3. He wants to eliminate people 'gaming the system'.
He actually said that. Meanwhile SPENDING FOR HIS WAR IN IRAQ IS NOT A PART OF HIS BUDGET.

4. "Gaming the system?"
That would be the corporations, his buddies that are "gaming the system." It's 'Welfare Queen' Halliburton, "gaming the system."

He is a Dim Son. Lucky for us, even the most intellectually-challenged are seeing through the bullcrap. He says one thing and then does another and the trickle-down effect is opening more eyes every day.

5. I don't know if we are lucky, though.
There appear to be nearly 59 million intellectually-challenged people in this country that cannot see through the bullcrap. (assuming the votes were counted correctly.)

7. You mean welfare mothers don't all drive Cadillacs?
Every Republican knows they do. It's an article of faith.

11. What system? The only system I see is the one where federal tax
cuts on corporations are being offset by increasing property, school, and other municipal and state taxes on citizens.

And the one where billions of dollars of US wealth are being funneled to corporations in Iraq to rebuild the infrastructure destroyed by the military.

And the one where we are being spied upon with no oversight and no restrictions.

And the one where lobbyists provide perks and financial incentives for elected representatives to propose and enact legislation favorable to their clients.

How can any partially conscious being accept what this lying sack-o-shit says on any level at all. :mad:

13. Translation: "I am gaming the system."
Bush speaks ALWAYS in projection and self-referral.
ALWAYS.

2. It's all part
of "drowning government* in the bathtub"

*government....bush and neocon "code" for New Deal Programs...also known to relate to any program that does not directly benefit Halliburton, Brown & Root, Jack Abramoff, The CArlyle Group or any member of the Bush family directly, or leads to a quid-pro-quo purchase of votes.

6. Gaming the system?
I guess those pesky Seniors and mentally ill folks don't need help, plus the $255 burial expense should be raised. Any Dem rebuttal yet?

9. Gaming the system: Northrop Grumman, Boeing, Exxon Mobil
Halliburton, Archer Daniels Midland, General Electric, WalMart . However, since a little old black lady someplace doesn't mean shit to them, it's her fault.
It's the very essence of republicanism.
