| Retired Posts: 7,312 | RESUME GEORGE W. BUSH 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, DC 20520 EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE: Law Enforcement: I was arrested in Kennebunkport, Maine, in 1976 for driving under the influence of alcohol. I pled guilty, paid a fine, and had my driver's license suspended for 30 days. My Texas driving record has been "lost" and is not available. Military: I joined the Texas Air National Guard and went AWOL. I refused to take a drug test or answer any questions about my drug use. By joining the Texas Air National Guard, I was able to avoid combat duty in Vietnam. College: I graduated from Yale University with a low C average. I was a cheerleader. PAST WORK EXPERIENCE: I ran for U.S. Congress and lost. I began my career in the oil business in Midland, Texas, in 1975. I bought an oil company, but couldn't find any oil in Texas. The company went bankrupt shortly after I sold all my stock. Bought the Texas Rangers baseball team in a sweetheart deal that took land using taxpayer money. With the help of my father and our friends in the oil industry (including Enron CEO Ken Lay), I was elected governor of Texas. ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF TEXAS: I changed Texas pollution laws to favor power and oil companies, making Texas the most polluted state in the Union. During my tenure, Houston replaced Los Angeles as the most smog-ridden city in America. I cut taxes and bankrupted the Texas treasury to the tune of billions in borrowed money. I set the record for the most executions by any governor in American history. With the help of my brother, the governor of Florida, and my father's appointments to the Supreme Court, I became President after losing by over 500,000 votes. ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS PRESIDENT: I am the first President in U.S. history to enter office with a criminal record. I invaded and occupied two countries at a continuing cost of over one billion dollars per week. I spent the U.S. surplus and effectively bankrupted the U.S. Treasury. I shattered the record for the largest annual deficit in U.S. history. I set an economic record for most private bankruptcies filed in any 12-month period. I set the all-time record for most foreclosures in a 12-month period. I set the all-time record for the biggest drop in the history of the U.S. stock market. In my first year in office, over 2 million Americans lost their jobs and that trend continues every month. I'm proud that the members of my cabinet are the richest of any administration in U.S. history. My "poorest millionaire," Condoleeza Rice, has a Chevron oil tanker named after her. I set the record for most campaign fund-raising trips by a U.S. President. I am the all-time U.S. and world record-holder for receiving the most corporate campaign donations. My largest lifetime campaign contributor, and one of my best friends, Kenneth Lay, presided over the largest corporate bankruptcy fraud in U.S. History, Enron. My political party used Enron private jets and corporate attorneys to assure my success with the U.S. Supreme Court during my election decision. I have protected my friends at Enron and Halliburton against investigation or prosecution. More time and money was spent investigating the Monica Lewinsky affair than has been spent investigating one of the biggest corporate rip-offs in history. I presided over the biggest energy crisis in U.S. history and refused to intervene when corruption involving the oil industry was revealed. I presided over the highest gasoline prices in U.S. history. I changed the U.S. policy to allow convicted criminals to be awarded government contracts. I appointed more convicted criminals to administration than any President in U.S. history. I created the Ministry of Homeland Security, the largest bureaucracy in the history of the United States government. I've broken more international treaties than any President in U.S. history. I am the first President in U.S. history to have the United Nations remove the U.S. from the Human Rights Commission. I withdrew the U.S. from the World Court of Law. I refused to allow inspector's access to U.S. "prisoners of war" detainees and thereby have refused to abide by the Geneva Convention. I am the first President in history to refuse United Nations election inspectors (during the 2000 U.S. election). I set the record for fewest numbers of press conferences of any President since the advent of television. I set the all-time record for most days on vacation in any one-year period. After taking off the entire month of August, I presided over the worst security failure in U.S. history. I garnered the most sympathy for the U.S. after the World Trade Center attacks and less than a year later made the U.S. the most hated country in the world, the largest failure of diplomacy in world history. I have set the all-time record for most people worldwide to simultaneously protest me in public venues (15 million people), shattering the record for protests against any person in the history of mankind. I am the first President in U.S. history to order an unprovoked, pre-emptive attack and the military occupation of a sovereign nation. I did so against the will of the United Nations, the majority of U.S. citizens, and the world community. I made sure that the only government building that wasn't looted or burned in Iraq was the Ministry of Oil. I have cut health care benefits for war veterans and support a cut in duty benefits for active duty troops and their families -- in wartime. In my State of the Union Address, I lied about our reasons for attacking Iraq and then blamed the lies on our British friends. I am the first President in history to have a majority of Europeans (71%) view my presidency as the biggest threat to world peace and security. I am supporting development of a nuclear "Tactical Bunker Buster," a WMD. I have so far failed to fulfill my pledge to bring Osama Bin Laden [sic] to justice. RECORDS AND REFERENCES: All records of my tenure as governor of Texas are now in my father's library, sealed and unavailable for public view. All records of SEC investigations into my insider trading and my bankrupt companies are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view. All records or minutes from meetings that I, or my Vice-President, attended regarding public energy policy are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public review. PLEASE CONSIDER MY EXPERIENCE WHEN VOTING IN 2004. PLEASE SEND THIS TO EVERY VOTER YOU KNOW. "...with like-minded people one cannot discuss. With like-minded people one can only participate in a church service, and you know how I feel about church services." Ayaan Hirsi Ali |

| Igneous Magma Posts: 232 | We have known these facts for 4 years and yet we find millions of people fawning and drooling over this man's history. What you didn't mention was the fact that all is sins and bad decisions have been removed from his personal record the day he became a Born-Again Christian! There were rumors that his girlfriend in college needed an abortion but knowing if this became known his chances of getting elected would disappear. What perfect timing! His vision of God showing favor to this spoiled reprobate was too much for many of us to buy but the GOP bought it hook, line and sinker!!! He will be reelected by every Christian and Jew in America because they need a religious leader; certainly not a Constitutional scholar! Americans are voting themselves out of business! I'm tired of fighting for American principles! Let the damn country fall! |

| Guest Posts: n/a | I'm an atheist. Do you think I want someone like Pat Robertson having any influence on legislation. If he were running things, I'd probably wind up burned at the stake. I don't like any kind of religious fundamentalism, whether Christian, Jewish or Islamic. At least Jewish fundamentalist haven't slaughtered millions of people like the other two dominant religions. Probably only because they haven't had the oportunity. |

I guess you haven't heard of Israel. They proved that people of all faiths or no faith are the same. They did it the minute they had the opportunity. "...with like-minded people one cannot discuss.

| Igneous Magma Location: Buffalo NY ( hell ) Posts: 196 | wow after reading that my view of him got even worse. i didnt really like him to begin with i just get a bad vibe from him. everytime i see him on tv i call him a bum because the onlyreason he is in office is because his damn father was president before. thats it he also promised all this crap that people believed why dont we go with a partial monarchy. look at britain they didnt have problems with war until bush stepped into office and they are gettign by just fine they have a fine country and a great leader in my eyes and everything goes through parliment there so. well one problem is the congressmen will not like that because they wouldnt get to pass laws that are good for them. My, my what a mess we've made Of our pretty little heads these days. It appears a heavy wind's blown through here recently. Best wishes have been made for you |

I mean they are not killing someone for not being Jewish, like Christians and Muslims have done for centuries. Christians definitely have the higher body count I believe, but the Muslims are catching up. | |

| Guest Posts: n/a | Okay they have. I'm trying to cut them some slack because they haven't racked up the serious body counts that the other two middle-eastern spawned major religions have. Jews may have killed several thousand, maybe a few tens of thousands, there simply weren't that many people available for them to kill back then. Muslims and Christians have had centuries of oportunities to murder heathens. Xians a few more centuries. Their body counts number in the millions. Making the Jews look like rank amateurs. |

I'm Jewish, and I definately will not be voting BUSH come 2004. That was a very dumb statement, and I belief the responses by numerous posters, including myself prooves this. I would appreciate it if you could retract or keep such presumptions and stereotypes to YOURSELF! Never assume that truth connotates purity or nicety. | |

It's the fanatics and extremists that push their religious axioms to justify actions contradictory to the fundamental beliefs of their seperate religions. NOT the orthodox/fundamentalists. Never assume that truth connotates purity or nicety. | |
