President Bush's mistakes
 

...

Mistake 1: Giving back a predicted surplus over a 10 year period (a paper surplus) with real money.

Mistake 2: Cutting taxes while increasing spending.

Mistake 3: Engaging in major combat operations without either recinding the tax breaks...and/or raising taxes...and/or cutting spending in other areas.

Mistake 4: Engaging in an invasion of Iraq without adhereing to the Powell Doctrine of warfare...without proper planning for worse case scenarios and making Rumsfeld the Secretary of Defense.

Mistake 5: Continuing on for year after year with the initial mistakes without any major adjustments.

This is a simplified version of what has basically put the country in the position it now finds itself in.

1a. faking his first election

Every recount of the pertinent counties involved in the controversy...made by multiple organizations...showed that President Bush won Florida by more votes than he was officially credited with. One or more organizations did a recount of the entire state and the results were the same.

We are talking about Florida, right?

Yes...I am.

Did you ever watch the documentary called "hacking democracy"?

here it is on youtube..

There is a lot of info in this film that shows there was more than likely fraud in the Florida election. Procedures were not followed and subpoenaed ballets receipts didn't match the real receipts.

Not to mention the voting machines could be hacked by a 10 year old.

Yes...I have watched it. The fact is that would be...could be...and actual fraud happens in every election as well as mistakes and various problems with one thing or another. I think that elections actually have less of the above than in years past. In past years when the political machines were controlled by people in smoke filled rooms fraud was...known and pretty prevelant...in certain cities/states more so than others.

Excellent post King:thumbsup

Bush is Lame.

being born

mmmm.... thread has failed to point out the most obvious mistakes, let me illustrate this for you:

.........dam gathering these pics has made me realize something, the problem ...Bush is not the problem, the problem is the stupid people who vote and re-elect retarded candidates like him...........

Bush is a mistake > understatement ...........:upsidedow

yes Bush isn't the problem because in a democracy people voted Bush in :(

Not having dissidents shot like other countries.

bush is the biggest joke of the 21st century

It's still amazes me that he was elected in the first place

Ahh...no he is not.

The vote count for both candidates kept going up as the hanging chads fell off.

The ballots were ultimately purchased by a college who did a recount based on who the voter was attempting to vote for, and Gore was the winner.

You forget 9-11
Katrina
gitmo
oil prices
deficit
the dollar
job loss
export to import
mortage implosion
recession
now he vetoes the torture ban

this guy is a real work of art

Can you provide a link? Up front I find it difficult to believe that anyone could do a count on who someone thought the voter was attempting to vote for. As I recall several news orgs and more than one University did recounts of the counties in controversy...and one or more did a recount of the whole state and all showed that President Bush won by more votes than was officially credited to him.

Btw hanging chads would be hanging because the voter attempted to vote for that person...so them falling off would raise the count. It was the counting machines that did not count hanging chads and that is what started the whole circus of counting hanging chads.

You forgot the biggest mistake made by Terrorist Bush:

actually acting on any thought he's ever had.


on a side note:

this is post number 911

let the conspiracy theories begin!!

Of course the whole problem with the first election would have not existed if Al Gore would have carried his own state. Maybe people in his state were aware of something about Al Gore the rest of the country was not aware of.

rigging the election probably helped too

If that's true whatever it was I'll bet they're sorry about it now. Somehow I doubt Gore is quite as retarded as W. Bush, and the Democrat as ruthlessly exploitative as the Republicans.

bush is a fucking moron and so are you.

President Bush's biggest mistake? He didn't pull out and shoot On barbaras Belly...

Oh wait you mean the CURRENT Bush

Bush's biggest mistake was not to abort his first son when Barbara got knocked up...

lol...funny thread!

If not for Gore's idiot wife, and her attack on the music industry, a lot of the folks who stayed home on election day would have got off their asses and voted for him :2 cents:

Bush made no mistakes at all. None, zero, nada.

Do you actually believe he got elected to further the interests of the US or himself? He's going to come out of his 8 years as President a lot wealthier in real terms than he went in.

Of course if you think he's there to forward your interests after the last 8 years you need to wake up and smell the coffee.

Well can't be that stupid, he fucked the rest of us.

We really have to give credit where credit is due. Because if he's the moron what does that make us?

President Bush is a graduate of an prestigious ivy league university and has a masters degree...he has been a jet fighter pilot...he is a millionaire...he has been a Governor of the second largest state in the Union...he is President of the richest most influential and most powerful nation on this earth. What is your claim to fame...sport?

You missed out he conned millions into thinking he would look after their best interests. :1orglaugh

The man deserves respect. :thumbsup

GWB's biggest mistake was to try to do the right thing.

Too many Americans want quick fixes and they want government to solve all problems.

:(

Bush will burn in hell!

;)

Your always there when I need a good laugh. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Al Gore is fucking everyone over far more than Bush is and he's not even the president. But for some reason everyone loves him.

I have to agree that his wife is a wacko and I am glad he didnt win for that single fact alone.

Tell that to the families of 100K Iraqis who've lost their lives ... or the 4000+ families of coalition troops that have died. Shall I continue?

Hey Al may be no saint, but saying he's fucked over more people than Bush is ridiculously absurd - even for the pro-Bush crowd.

2A) faking his death (RIP Pathfinder)

hahaha
