Why I support President Bush

It hasn't happened yet, but I am hoping that some eager news reporter will ask me at the pump how I feel about gas prices, which will allow me the opportunity to extoll the virtues of our excellent President.


Reporter How do you feel about gas prices at the pump?

Me I think you have to look at the big picture. I'm a high income guy. What with the windfall tax cut I have thanks to President Bush, it would be churlish of me to complain about the $85 it takes to fill the tank of my SUV.


Reporter But don't you think these prices are a problem for most people?

Me I don't care about most people. I care about me. And for my money, President Bush is a guy who delivers. Considering what the President has done for me and my business, paying more for gas is all well and good. I only regret that I didn't see the gas price increase sooner so that I could get in on the action. Those oil and gas guys are making profits that are truely obscene.

1. it'd be a lot funnier if it weren't so true... n/t

[FreedomAngel82]

2. Really

"Compassionate conservative" my ass. More like selfish jerk.

[Penndems]

3. Typical right-winger: "I care about ME"

". . . and for MY money, President Bush delivers . . ."

This arrogant smartass is gonna find himself getting clocked, when he runs up against somebody who DOES care how much he pays at the pump.

Anybody with that attitude needs to get out of this country NOW. There's no room here from that type of self-centerness and selfishness. To think I spent twenty years in public service working for obnoxious, ignorant asses like this. It simultaneously boggles my mind and ticks me off. Talk about un-American! :mad:

This is nation of neighbors. We HELP each other. This clown is part of the problem, not the solution.

4. um, I think it's satire? (n/t)

[Penndems]

5. If it is, it's right on the mark as far as encapsulating the mindset

of the far right.

That group is America at its worst.

[Montauk6]

6. I'm sure it is.

But, Ima, fess up... wouldn't you like to find the "actual person" and pummel him mercilessly anyway?

[Gronk Groks]

7. It was a sarcasm rant...

...but oh so fun to read. I believe you failed to realize that even though it sounded like a typical Repug, it really wasn't.

Of course he did make it sound like one...

[Penndems]

8. He certainly did

His characterization was right on the money (no pun intended). :evilgrin:
