I have political capital.......

Edited on Sat Nov-06-04 09:56 AM by Hotler

and I'm going to spend it. Smart mouth little turd. The first time he smirked during the first debate I nearly threw my TV out the front door. I wanted to slap that fucking smirk right off his face. I bet as a kid he was smart mouthed punk when his friends were around. And when they weren't, he had to run home just to keep from getting the fuck knocked out him. His smug attitude and cocky swagger, I want to back hand him the way my ol man did me when I failed to respect my mother. Edited for blunders sorry

1. politcal capitol (not clout)

it is a capacity one claims or seizes--not what one earns or is rewarded with---(see Peire Boudeau--a French philospher)

3. No more Mr. Niceguy

He doesn't get quite as much glee out of getting his way as he does out of taking things away from other people, humiliating them in public and reminding them of their forlorn powerlessness.

He is as deeply mean as an inherently shallow guy can be.

9. The exact quote:

http://russbaker.com/Guerrilla%20News%20Network%20-%20Bush.htm
“He was thinking about invading Iraq in 1999,” said author and journalist Mickey Herskowitz. “It was on his mind. He said to me: ‘One of the keys to being seen as a great leader is to be seen as a commander-in-chief.’ And he said, ‘My father had all this political capital built up when he drove the Iraqis out of Kuwait and he wasted it.’ He said, ‘If I have a chance to invade….if I had that much capital, I’m not going to waste it. I’m going to get everything passed that I want to get passed and I’m going to have a successful presidency.”

6. I thought he was over-budget on that already.

I wish someone would call in his loan.

7. I just cannot watch this guy!

How it is that people simply cannot see the lies and deceptions that are so very transparent on his face is beyond me. I'd love to play poker with him as his thoughts are there for all to see, "I won, Im soooo smart, Daddy buys me everything I want and neener, neener ,neener."

I would be less concerned about the radical right as , in the next four years, things are going to get so bad that people will worry less about Jesus and more about jobs and health care.
