Why are the Bush's still acting so arrogant?
What's the next trick up their sleeves that has allowed them to crawl out of their hidey holes and mock us every chance they get?

They act as if they are untouchable. As if they know no one can stop them? Or are they just that ignorant?

4. Who's acting? They ARE arrogant.
It must be difficult for them to keep it suppressed. Their real personalities have got to come out eventually.

5. Yes, it seems they can no longer conceal
their true nature?

I feel like we are in one of those old Dracula movies when I see them now. You know, when the scary music comes up and that nice man Mr. Dracula turns around and reveals his fangs.

6. "As if they know no one can stop them?"
Who's going to stop them?

The Media? The Democrats? lol! He's arrogant because he knows that his Administration can basically do whatever the hell they want, and you and everyone else will bend over and take it up the ass.

That's why.

11. PRECISELY.
Edited on Tue Sep-06-05 04:11 PM by BeHereNow
They are untouchable and grow increasingly
mocking of us with each passing day.
Think this point in time is bad?
Just wait until the full horror
of the new bankruptcy and credit card laws hit
this country.
Talk about a nation of "refugees..."
People will be every bit as devasted by the
economic hurricane as the people in New Orleans and the gulf region.
And guess what?
It is intentional, just as the neglect of the hurricane
victims is.
A LOUD "fuck you serfs" from the most
corrupt and evil group of corporate elitists
to ever hit the world stage.
Americans are in for a one way ticket
on the train to hell.

31. You left something out of the equation
Edited on Tue Sep-06-05 04:55 PM by Liberalynn
at least part of the "people." There are still those members of the population as well who continue to defend him even in light of all the horror that has happened because of his failure to act in LA and MI. People who still say we shouldn't be "criticizing" and blame everyone but him.

It makes me sick but sadly it is true.

7. Because they are.
Arrogant aristocrats. Old money snobs that successfully fooled America into thinking they're just "regular guys" in the last election.

10. It's not acting...
...they inherited that arrogance from grandpa Bush who laundered money for the Nazis and got away with it.

Shit, wouldn't that make you arrogant?

He may have been evil, but the Bush's are ignorant and evil. It's a bad combination.

22. Nixon was Jesus Christ compared to the Bushlers
Nixon was an American, in the end. He may have stonewalled and he may have squirmed, but in the end he was still shamed by being caught in a lie, in a crime.

The Bushes are NOT Americans, their reaction to being caught in a lie or crime has more in common with Hitler, Stalin, or Ferdinand marcos than it has in common with Nixon.

27. Oh you SO nailed it! They are NOT Americans indeed!
They are multinational corporatists.
They are thieves, liars and global thugs who
fully intend to destroy each and every "useless eater"
on the planet and amass and control every resource
and dime on every corner of the planet.

17. They are simply that arrogant, it is not an act
It isn't bluster, it is arrogance. The family has never had to be responsible, they truly believe what they say, it is simply unmitigated arrogance.

19. because they are dumb.
most of the overconfident people in the world are overconfident because they are too stupid to see their own limitations.

And high office and great power has a way of feeding fatal hubris.

24. They know they posess the "voting machines"
As that old Bushevik (with a slightly dfferent economic philosophy) Joseph Stalin said, "He who casts the votes decides nothing. He who counts the votes decides everything."

They are arrogant because they know that NO MATTER WHO OR WHAT THE IMPERIAL SUBJECTS OF AMERIKA "vote" for, the Buisheviks will still "win".

It's GOT to be a powerful feeling, no?

25. No re-election to worry about
And, it has taken many leaders/parties until they actually lost power to quit the arrogance. Some more calls for resignation might get to Chimp.

That, and as said, it's in their nature. :grr:

26. That is what they are.
They are being what they are, plain and simple.

They can no more comprehend the problems of people who are not ultra-rich and ultra-privileged than a human being can comprehend the mind processes of a flatworm. They have been raised from conception to believe that they are superior to the rest of the people on the planet, that Gawd Awlmighty willed it to be that way, and that they can do no wrong and cannot be held accountable for that reason.

28. He's an arrogant ass, no acting involved.
The question to be asked is why are his handlers permitting this? Do they honestly think it will make Americans feel better about him, or have they lost control of bush?

If letting him show his ass is their idea of taking control of the situation, I'm afraid to see what they do next.

29. That's the problem
his handlers don't care what we think any more. They feel they have enough control that they don't need to.

30. Yes, yes and yes.
And the Katrina disaster handling is the model
for the coming economic disaster.
