What I don't ..and DO...want to know about my president..

[SoCalDem]

I do NOT want to know:

what religion he is..and I do not want to see him with his BIBLE in hand
the "cutesy" stuff about his marriage
all the gory details of his kids' lives
what his "favorite or least favorite" foods are
what nicknames he calls his pals
what kind of underwear he wears..

what I DO want to know is:

did he had any scrapes with the law
when/how he "served" his country as a young man
who his "business" cohorts are/were..(birds of a feather....)
how he supported his family BEFORE politics..

The vetting process that candidates for the cabinet positions and the court appointments, is the process that ALL elected officials should be subjected to. A person who is to assume a temporary position like a cabinet post, is questioned and investigated, but the ones who CONTROL how we live our lives, skate by on "personality,looks,and charm"..

BEFORE they get elected we should have a right to know where they stand on the issues of the day.. Debates are not really debates, and they serve no purpose except to give temporary employment to the people who run around setting them up, and staging them.. The "questions" are dodgy and the candidates are not pressed to actually answer them..


We are much too "familiar" as a society and the 'celebritification' of the politicians who have the ultimate control of (over) our lives is just plain NUTS..

These people are OUR EMPLOYEES, and it's time that they started acting like employees..

Probably , most of us are/were workers for a large part of our lives. Ask yourself.. do/did you know what your boss' favorite color is, or his/her favorite food?? Do you care what he calls his/her wife/husband ??

Our paid employee legislators should do their jobs.. Job #1 for ALL of them, is to do OUR bidding..

California recall-mania has brought the whole thing into focus.. The repubes are TELLING US, in no uncertain terms, that they are ready/willing/able to "take out" any employee-legislator whom they feel is undeserving of their position. Should we be any "less vigilant"???

2. He is really Fr. look at the vacation time and.......

He is out to bring this country to it's knees. He used to use the bottle to lean on and now he has the bible to lean on.

4. Bush is acting like a blacked out wet brain drunk on a binge with someone

5. SoCalDem - You mean ....

you don't care about blow jobs?? :wow:

[nannygoat]

6. SoCalDem, how about adding results of a drug test to your list...

That way we might have found out about * before the election...

[Booberdawg]

7. An IQ test would have saved

...us a lot of trouble and an unecessary war. Before 2000, who would have thought to ask?? :shrug:

[Upfront]

8. Before 2000

If you couldn't see Bush for what he was before 2000, you did not do your home work. You were not alone. No flame intended, it is just the way it was. Similar to not knowing that Bush was lying about evidence for war, or who benefited from his tax cuts. The country as a whole has been asleep. Oh well, Bush is a moral man. Sarcasm off now.

9. "I" knew what he was, as did other DUers...

BUT....the mediawhores who "covered" him were blinded to the truth, and chose to present his as the affable "everyman", and demonized Gore, so what "we" thought did not even matter...


The falacy is that average people actually research the candidates.. Most do NOT.. They watch tv and read a few magazines, and they parrot the "tag lines" to their friends....

You're right.(I hope) The country has been asleep and I hope they have awoken..

The really sad thing, is that there has been a lot of damage dome in the almost 3 years since he hijacked our country...It will take a decade or more to "fix" it, and by then the country may amnesiacs again..:(
