3. So if he is keeping us so safe why do we keep hearing "terror alerts"
on a daily basis?

6. But then, when nothing happens,
HE KEPT US SAFE!!!!!!

See how easy that is?

Make up shit about the "chatter" which of course no one can really talk about, when your poll numbers are going down, announce an imminent attack by picking and choosing some "chatter" (which he can't talk about) then when nothing happens, bingo!!! He saved humanity from annilation!!!

Spider Man, Super Man and Bat Man, all rolled into one doophus claiming to be a cowboy from Texas!!

11. REMINDS me of a joke...
a man walks into a london psychiatrists office for his first visit. throughout the interview the man keep snapping his fingers endlessly. Finally annoyed, the doctor asked why he was snapping his fingers. He says "to keep the dragons away". To which the doctor replied, "but, there are no dragons". to which the man answers "SEE! it works".

That' how I view the conundrum of "you're safer with bush" while simultaneously issuing terror alerts.

5. He cannot promise that.
And it would be foolish for anyone to believe him. Our Intelligence sucks and there is no way Bush can guarrantee that there will be no attacks. Promising that is just stupid.

But then we all know that Bush is stupid and so are the fools that take him at his word.

8. America's Environment
He sure is NOT keeping us safe from various kinds of polution.

Regarding terrorist attacks: Orange in CA., New Mexico, Wash. DC and NY. If any of those goes to red will that mean Martial Law?

10. Oh really? Well that's nice but I live in a small town with a 4 way stop
and I don't think the farmers pay too much attention to the color scheme that Tom Ridge has going. We're pretty insecure about not having any money in this country though, so maybe he could cut the bullshit and quit acting like the national budget is his personal trust fund.

We pay pretty good money for our school system but at the rate we're going in Michigan, it won't matter. Our kids will be leaving the state in droves because we won't have any jobs for them. Plus, what with all the money going into standards of accountability, most of them won't come to school much longer because we won't be able to afford busing. But what the heck, with the power of the rich and powerful media, George Bush's good buddies these days, all kids want to do is watch reality TV where a bunch of people eats bugs, worms and risk their lives for a million dollars. Makes sense to someone I know, educate, maintain accountability then let the media screw them up with 'reality TV. That's all a little scary and George Bush could throw some influence in that direction.

Our roads suck and its a nighmare to travel on them but I realize we should just be grateful that we can look up in the sky knowing our betters are setting a good example for all of us flying on private planes. Thank goodness we have a few cars left to put that oil in that he is so crazy about. Hmmm...fill the gas tank or fill the grocery cart, that's a pretty scary reality. But I know its something George Bush has to grow into, personal responsibility. After all this time we've lived without it for so long, we can now live without him too.

So its nice of George Bush to be so sympathetic but most of us are just concerned about whose next door neighbor's kid is going to get blown up in Iraq or Afghanistan because of his failed policies, lousy military leaders and all the other crap.

Crap is a very good word in this area of the county. We think it suits George Bush just fine. George Bush Crap. Just think what a marvel the presidency is. Go to good colleges, major in a c- achievement, go AWOL in the military, ruin 3 or 4 businesses, get elected Governor to kill a bunch of people and then steal a presidential election. That's real scary.

Thanks but no thanks, in this area of the country I can protect myself better from terrorists than I can from George Bush and his crap. I'll pass.

14. Over the last 3 years, it has been repeatedly demonstrated that

16. As We Say In Texas...
He couldn't hit the broad side of a bull's ass with a bass fiddle!

That is a very Texas colloquialism that sums up Dubya precisely.

and Dubya is a perfect name for him, because he's the boy who keeps crying Dubya - Oh - Ell - Eff...(wolf!!)

17. Howdy!
I'm a native Texan transplanted to the Midwest! Still have folks there who despise that sorry excuse for a *&%^$#! Texas IS getting it, I just don't think the */DeLay machine will ever let those votes see the light of day. (Desperately hoping I'm wrong!) :hi:
