1. But he is busy...

He thinks about it everyday...then goes biking or cuts brush or perhaps even reads a book. He's tired from all that hard work he put in for us this year.

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

3. He has to 'get on with his life'... dunnit he?

:sarcasm:

RIP...

[bnr65432]

14. i didnt know he could read

he doesnt even care about the troops

[merh]

18. It's hard work.

:grr:

[SammyWinstonJack]

33. You forgot fishing.

A little fishing, biking, brush clearing photo op, swim, nap, din din, books on tape, lights out by 9:30. "A perfect day!"

[Stephanie]

2. Now he is going on a vacation from his vacation at a luxury resort

So we'll need to start a sub-count - how many were killed while Bush was on a vacation from his vacation?

[merh]

5. When did he go on his vacation from his vacation.

I'll keep count!

:mad: :cry:

[Stephanie]

7. Starts today

He's staying in Idaho at this resort. Doesn't it remind you of The Shining?

[merh]

8. I will definitely keep track.

And yes, it does look like the shining.

That man gives the game of golf a bad name! :argh:
Have I mentioned how much I hate him? :grr: :mad:

:cry:

[GreenPartyVoter]

4. To all of you, I am so sorry!

[merh]

19. ~

:cry:

[GreenPartyVoter]

26. *hugs* It's enough to make a person crazy, isn't it?

[merh]

27. I just am filled with so much hate for the weed that I can't stand

myself - how can they continue to let people die and not care? :cry:

[GreenPartyVoter]

28. I don't know. I am almost paralyzed fro my depression these days

[merh]

29. (((hug)))

Don't let the bastards get you down :hug:

[GreenPartyVoter]

32. I'll try not to :^)

[tives12]

6. republicans vote

i hope that republicans have a problem with this as much as we do. they were the ones who chose to keep this man in office.

[merh]

9. Do they even stop to look at the names and the numbers?

Do they even care to know the truth?

:cry:

[tives12]

13. I think they're content with lies.

[SammyWinstonJack]

34. "We don't care!" "We don't care!" So long as their sorry butts

aren't getting shot off, they couldn't care less.

[Roland99]

10. Well, it's hard work. Incredibly hard.

Need some wood?

[Hubert Flottz]

11. Why don't Bush ever have a $10,000 a plate fund raiser for the...

Gold Star Mothers and the fatherless children he keeps creating?

[merh]

12. The Gold Star Mothers are the have nots.

He doesn't waste his time on them or for them. :cry:

[Hubert Flottz]

15. Has he done one GOOD thing, since he stole Office?

I can't think of one single thing...

[merh]

16. Not one good thing that I know of.

History will not be kind to the weed or to his father.

[merh]

17. ~sigh~

:cry:

[Ellipsis]

20. Thank you for keeping track.

It's quite a shock. The last time I looked at your post it was in the 50's

Sigh indeed.

[merh]

21. At the suggestion of another, I added those killed in Afghanistan.

I am ashamed I didn't have them listed from the very beginning.

We need to bring all of our soldiers home, no more killings, no more war. :cry:

[Ellipsis]

22. It is always good to listen to others.

You have nothing to be ashamed of. It's good to see your posts.

[merh]

23. Thank you

and a belated welcome to DU :hi:

[Ellipsis]

24. Aw shucks.n/t

Thank you too.

:hi:
