BUSH on gas prices: "DON'T BUY GAS IF YOU DON'T NEED IT"

[Bluebear]

That's what he told only months ago. Let them eat fucking cake, right, "W"? While you promote the global instability that is driving prices higher and higher and higher. To the sheer delight of your rich oil buddies and your Saudi "family".

Keep on beating those war drums, "W". Keep destabilizing Middle Eastern countries one by one, "spreading freedom". Maybe we'll be up to $100 a barrel "right soon". (That's plain, down-home Texas talk, "cowboy".)

Still "want to have a beer with him", Bush voters? Still enjoying those pump prices on the way to church, fundies? Still have SUCKER stencilled on your foreheads? Or is enough fucking enough??????

1. OK.... HATIN' him. Danm, that pic sums up almost 6 years....

:cry:

[VolcanoJen]

14. God, doesn't it?

That picture makes my toes curl. Smug, glib, and evil.

[SammyWinstonJack]

49. Arrogant A$$hole, Big Time!

Anyone who paid the least bit of attention to what he did to the people of Texas while he ruled here, would have known what the was going to do to the rest of America. It didn't take a genius to see that he would screw us all for the benefit of his base, The Elite and his corrupt campaign contributors. Morans!

[bdamomma]

59. that arrogance and ignorance

will eat out his brain, just like Lee Atwater. What goes around comes around.

[driver8]

18. I agree -- he is a spiteful, hateful little man.

That picture perfectly fits his personality.

[saltpoint]

2. And who needs the stuff, anyway? Huh?

We NEED that energy to burn signs all night long along the interstates -- for Tire Kingdom signs, and the signs of other stores, too. Even if we don't really want to go tire-shopping at 4 in the morning, we want that sign ON, dammit.

Even if the store's CLOSED. Burn that sign! Let it shine over the hills and dales of the country!

We may have to bomb the piss out of Venezuela and likely thousands more innocent civilians will have to die or be maimed, but it's worth it so we can see the Tire Kingdom sign 24/7.
_____

Mr. Bush's ability to communicate is about as sharp as his Commander-in-Chief skills. I bet we could do without those all-night signs for closed stores, coast to coast.

3. What's with those splotches all over his face?

At this rate, the chimpy bastard will soon be splotchier than Bill O'Reilly. :puke:

42. Those are broken blood vessles from Drinking

ever seen a man who has drank most of his life? His nose is almost purple from the broken blood vessles... Looks like the shrub is on his way...

[Brazenly Liberal]

54. Could be eczema

As much as I'm tempted to assume he's back on the sauce - and God knows his actions would seem to back up that assumption - I get the same splotches and I don't drink at all. I get them from eczema

4. "Department of We Told You So."

http://www.bushwatch.com/gas.htm

"Department of We Told You So.

in today's New York Times..."WAYNE, Mich., June 27 -- Gov. George W. Bush of Texas said today that if he was president , he would bring down gasoline prices through sheer force of personality, by creating enough political good will with oil-producing nations that they would increase their supply of crude. "I would work with our friends in OPEC to convince them to open up the spigot, to increase the supply," Mr. Bush, the presumptive Republican candidate for president, told reporters here today. "Use the capital that my administration will earn, with the Kuwaitis or the Saudis, and convince them to open up the spigot."""

BUSH OIL SCANDAL? BUSINESS BUDDIES REWARDED.

"George W. Bush's call last year to help beleaguered independent oil producers resulted in a $1 million tax break for the company of former Bush business partner Richard Rainwater, according to state records. Pioneer Natural Resources Co., based in Irving, was the biggest beneficiary of the tax cut, which Mr. Bush expedited with an emergency declaration because of low oil prices. Mr. Bush urged the Legislature to take action to help small oil producers because of "desperate conditions" in the oil patch. According to state tax records, Pioneer reaped a $1 million savings in severance taxes, the most of any company that got relief. Mr. Rainwater engineered a 1997 merger that created the company and is its largest single individual stockholder.

"It's a practice we see throughout this administration," said Tom Smith of Public Citizen, a nonprofit consumer watchdog group. "We have to ask whether or not this is another opportunity for Bush to benefit his business buddies." ... Mr. Rainwater, a $100,000 contributor to Mr. Bush's 1994 gubernatorial campaign, was a partner in the Texas Rangers and other energy and real estate concerns with Mr. Bush. Records indicate the partnerships accounted for most of Mr. Bush's earnings before he was elected governor in 1994. The subsequent sale of the Texas Rangers in 1998 earned Mr. Bush $16 million on a $600,000 investment and has provided the bulk of his wealth, according to tax records. In a 1994 interview, Mr. Rainwater said, "George Bush happens to be one of about 100 people that can make the statement that their involvement with Richard Rainwater has had a very positive effect."

:puke:

[oasis]

29. Bushbots need to get off of the Kool-aid and get into reading Chimpy's

history with his petroleum pals. They can read your above posts for starters.

Thanks. :hi:

[Bluebear]

83. AND how! nt

[Bluebear]

7. "bring down gasoline prices through sheer force of personality"

Yeah that worked.

[xxqqqzme]

10. too bad he has no personality

he only knows how 2 belittle, tease & bully.

[Erika]

9. Yeah, he put Clinton down big time for not controlling

the cost of gas. Bushbots, as normal, will be silent.

[LSK]

5. yeah, people buy gas just because its fun

What a dumbass!

[Theduckno2]

11. Bush buys gas just for fun!

Every time we see him "cutting brush" with his chainsaw just so he can look macho.

If he had any cahones he would demand NASCAR shorten its races, to conserve fuel for those that really need it, seeing that there is a war on. Fat chance.

[AussieDave]

12. "DON'T BUY GAS IF YOU DON'T NEED IT" - Is that the same as

"DON'T SHIT IF YOU DON'T NEED TO" ???

What an asshat.

[SammyWinstonJack]

50. Maybe he should stop wasting fuel on AF1 running around the

Country selling his snake oil!

[Supersedeas]

57. pretty much

[Booster]

13. Wow, that's just simply brilliant. And everybody on DU thinks he's

not bright. Shame on all of you. (the Smilies table won't come up so I can click on the sarcasm thingy)

[Bluebear]

15. Be sure to tell your friends & neighbors this quote.

That if "they don't need gas, don't buy it".

Especially those who say Bush is "just like us" and "cares about people like me".

[mark11727]

26. I'll just explain it to THE CAR...

"...look, I know your tank's nearly empty and all, but gas is over three bucks right now... do you think you could hold out for another couple of weeks yet? Please?"

I didn't think so.

[0007]

70. Linda Tripp said the same fucking thing. "I'm just like you"

This saying must be a.....a.....selling point of the minds

[longship]

16. I'm lucky. I work at home.

I commute to work via the Internet. It means that I only fill up about every other month.

I feel very bad for commuters who are now spending huge amounts of money to drive to work. I just wish that more people had mass transit available.

[Bluebear]

17. 45 miles each way for me.

I get good mileage, but am feeling the pinch more and more every week.

Oh well, more for "W" and his people--- and less disposable income to pump into his booming economy. Good thing he enacted tax cuts on the wealthy to help with that end. :sarcasm:

[SammyWinstonJack]

51. Price of gas is reflected in everything. I guess the little pissant

doesn't realize that. Oh but he says he knows how hard it is for us to put food on our families Yeah right! :argh:

[drm604]

63. Yep

I now take the Septa train into Philly everyday. Gassing up has become something I do much less often. We need more mass transit as well as more companies allowing telecommuting.

[beam me up scottie]

20. I absolutely love

how you keep using that picture.

And the photographer who so cleverly captured the "real" Pissypants.

[caledesi]

21. What about NACAR, you idiot? nt

[pa28]

22. I still think back to 2000 . . .

Republicans were making a huge issue of gas spiking up to $1.79 a gallon (or something).

His solution: he would call up our allies in the middle east and "tell them" to "open up the spigot".

:rofl: can Crawford get it's idiot back now?

[oasis]

72. Yup. There's a link to Bush's "spigot" declaration on post #4.

[SpiralHawk]

23. k and r on account of

a revealing photo of commander AWOL to go with his absurd statement: "DON"T BUY NO FRIKKKIN GAS IF YOU DON'T NEED IT.'

Get a frikkin clue, connecticut preppy-wad.

[Protagoras]

24. Gas has always been an impulse buy for me

I'm usually picking up food or on my way to work and I get this craving...I think DAMN a tank of gas sure would taste good right now. I know I should refrain but my mouth begins to water and my tummy rumbles and I just can't stop myself.

[nonconformist]

25. I'm so glad he told me that

I go out at least weekly and fill up multiple gas cans, then dump them on the side of the road for sport. Thanks to Bush's wisdom, I will stop doing that.

THANKS BUSH!

[Bluebear]

28. LOLOLOLOL

GREAT post buddy. :)

[nonconformist]

37. Thank you, thank you

I'm here all week! :D

[Hekate]

27. It works for him: someone else gasses up Airforce 1 & someone else pays

Hoo boy that whole family is just so Marie Antoinette it makes me choke on my cake.

First he encourages every gullible so-and-so in the nation to buy a damn urban assault vehicle and write it off on their taxes (remember that thing about up to a hundred grand write-off if you bought it for your business?) -- and now he says don't buy gas unless you need it.

Q: How many Bushes does it take to fill up a tank with gas?
A: None. That's what they have the American people for.

Hekate

[wordpix]

64. haha, good joke.

[radfringe]

30. when is smirk-boy going to say....

"we need to make the tax cuts permanent so people can buy gas with their tax relief..."

:sigh: the last "tax cut" netted me $2.50 a week - which was quickly wiped out by an increase in my health insurance co-pay. Meanwhile - $2.50 won't even buy a gallon of gas in my neck of the woods

[SalmonChantedEvening]

31. I wonder if he'll say the same thing

When fuel prices push the cost of food through the roof as well.

Maybe he'll decidify what foods we're entitled to as well.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

32. Like Papa Bush. Anyone remember when Papa was Pres, while there

was a gas crunch, on weekends he would ride around in his super gas guzzling Cigarette boat? Totally out of touch with the American people.

[eShirl]

33. "Oh, and let them eat cake."

ass.

[stlsaxman]

34. Is there a soundbite? Anyone record it?

put it in a song.

my favorite soundsite of his is: "You may be lonely but I love'ya... what can i do to help lift your spirit?"

[AndyA]

35. Yet another example of Bush's problem solving abilities.

If you don't need gas, don't buy it.

Brilliant! This is about the best this man has to offer, though.

IMPEACH - PROSECUTE - INCARCERATE

38. His healthcare solution: Don't get sick.

Yep, he said that, too.

Oh, and take lots of walks.

Dumb prick.

52. It's Hard Werk!

61. and so ready

47. Why don't you go and kiss another Sheik

and explain to the american people why we are really paying high gas prices....

[Octafish]

48. In FLORIDA, they're starting to HATE him.

In southwest FLA, a the local radio classic rock station opened up the spigots and are letting listeners know what the deal is: "$3 a gallon gas and Bush is still working on getting it higher."

Greg Palast said the reason for the invasion wasn't to secure Iraq'a oil; it was to limit supply in order to drive up prices.

[shanti]

74. hello

follow the money trail...

[Brazenly Liberal]

53. Well, gee, George

If your f*cked up economics policies hadn't caused half the jobs in the county to disappear, maybe the spousal unit wouldn't have to drive 200 freaking miles every day to get to work and back.

[raccoon]

55. I'm going to print up a bunch of bumper stickers saying that,

And I'll sell them and make my living. I've been thinking about getting into my own business.

The American flag will be in the background of the stickers.

What a fucking Moran !

[The2ndWheel]

62. That analogy

is the exact reason we're all screwed, whether the supply of oil is running low, or if the companies are manipulating prices.

[LibertyorDeath]

71. Your right & it's both

"whether the supply of oil is running low, or if the companies are manipulating prices."

[Bluebear]

85. Perzactly. nt

65. Exactly who buys gas that they DON"T need?????

[napi21]

with ShrubCo! Park the SUV caravan, hanger AF1, and sit your A** in the oval office where you're SUPPPOSED to work!

[borlis]

69. $51 yesterday for 3/4 of a tank.

I know I read it here some time ago - some quote from Dickhead Cheney during the Clinton Presidency about how oil above $20 a barrel is the sign of a failed presidency. Oh how I wish someone would throw that back at him now.
