What would Bush have to do to gain your respect. BE HONEST.

We are stuck with this guy for another 4 years, given the current situation that we are in and barring his past mistakes, what would he be able to do, starting TODAY that would make you think differently of him as a president.

NOTE: Step down is not an option.

Discuss.

That would do it for me.

htuttle on this one.

...we have a winner!

Cheers,
Kim :toast:

be found dead in one of his drunken lying states.

restore the environment and stop dumping on gays...

and apologize for stealing 2000 and being a general crook and scoundrel.

to face his war crimes trial saying "please forgive me lord and man alike, let me pay for my sins"

that I would respect.

He is unethical, morally and physically a coward, incompetent, a liar, corrupt, and a fascist.

I have made it a point never to use the term "president" in connection with Pretzelboy's name. I will continue that practice for the next four years or until I move to another country, whichever comes first.

Get the troops out of Iraq
Start speaking as though he can think on his feet
Gain the respect of other World Leaders

And then, I still would dislike him, but would at least feel as if he wasn't out to kill me and my family

and brings other countries to the table regarding Iraq, it would be a good start for me.

Also, it remains to be seen whether or not his tax policies will really "kick start" our economy, I pray to God this kickstart happens sometime within the next 4 years, we've been waiting a hell of a long time.

He needs to swing back toward the middle, I'm hoping Republicans realize that and make a push for it during these next 4 years.

I am not sure.

2) fire Cheney, release the Energy Commission records, investigate Halliburton fraud, etc.
3) Expose the Plame leak.
4) Fire Ashcroft.
5) Put Ken Lay in prison.
6) 'Fess up to his Nat'l Guard irresponsibilities.
7) Rescind his tax cuts.
8) Call NCLB the mean prank that it is.

I could go on. I won't.

at the TV today on my lunch break watching that BS


another thing that it would take for him to make me think even a fraction of a percentage more of him-acknowledge that global warming isn't a fairy tale and stop raping the environment

I'll never respect that murderer.

including releasing the energy task force papers. giving up the one who outed valerie plame. take the blame for 9/11



at the end, step down because stepping down would be the honerable thing to do.




of course he never will

face up to reality by firing Feith, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and Ashcroft, and start listening to Powell. Then appoint a Democrat to a prominent position as a sign of bipartisanship, as Clinton did. Then appoint a moderate to the Supreme Court.

There is absolutely nothing that he could do now.

Admit he lied to us about the reasons for invading Iraq and that he really did it for reasons of vanity and ego and power. Personally apologize on his knees to the family of every soldier and every Iraqi who has been killed, and pay reparations to them and all the injured people from his personal funds. Go on TV and apologize to the people of the US and the whole world. But that will never happen, so I guess the answer is nothing. I will never respect him. He is not my president.

Never gonna happen, though.

He can never earn my respect. Not in a million years. Fuck that asshole.

And it's irrevocable.

I can't put it any other way. What could Hitler have done to get respect from America at the end of WWII? How could Stalin win us over?

With Rove, Cheney, and Rumsfeld with him.

the secret service protecting him.

Before that, of course, it will be announced to the Iraqi people what route Bush is taking for his walk.

eom

Sorry . No other options.

If Clinton can appoint Republicans to his cabinet then Bush can appoint some Democrats. He won't but he should in order to unite this country.

If he doesn't attakc any other countries, doesn't let us get attacked, and finally creates an independent Palestine, then he will gain my respect. Republicans are in a unique position of power here, and they use it for good...or lose it in 2 years.

1. find a working solution to both parties regarding Israel/Palestine
2. Appoint moderates to the supreme court
3. Further the cause of civil rights
4. accept stem cell research

that is a very small start.

take responsibility and come COMPLETELY CLEAN.

The 2000 Election, the smear campaign against McCain, knowing about 9/11, The oil pipeline in Afghanistan, The lying to war, Iraq, Halliburton, etc.

Then completely divorce himself from the neocons.

And put their svelte young frames into camoflauge outfits.

twins :)

End the war, and then resign.

from Iraq..

Basically turn into a miracle worker and undo all the crime he has done.

nothing he can do.

He could never earn the respect of any respectful person I have ever known!

That's what I want to know. Go to the middle? Or does he go, "I'm not running for re-election again, FLOOR IT!" Four more years that will make the last four look like a bike ride. That's what I fear.

If he did that, quite honestly - I would forgive him, and it would show balls.

But I don't expect that...

I don't expect that to happen...ever.

nt

I usually steer clear of violent shows, but I'd make an exception.

go to Iraq to transport tainted fuel in an unarmored vehicle behind ememy lines.

edit: to add text

We were bombing targets as the election was going on! He used to have my support, He used to have Some of my trust that he would not do the things he did. He lied to America, He lied to everyone. There are no WMD, we are losing our boys over Oil. This is a Dark day for our Country, this is a Dark day for the world. Saddam, Although a real bastard, had nothing to do with the WTC attacks. Now I am waiting for us to all get investigated because of the Patriot Act, we don't support Shrub, we must be terrorists. News Flash, I am as American as they come, I just think we are slaugtering our Troops to line his pockets. He would have to literally send one if not both of the Twins into fight HIS DADDY'S WAR! He would also have to make Cheney Resign, he would have to be Impeached for Lying to America. Hell Blill Clinton only got A hummer and got impeached. What pricetag should be on Lying to America? The world is laughing at Us right now. The Mad Cowboy Lives on, while the Distinguished Gentleman from Boston goes back to Boston. I fought for him, and had he been elected and we went to war, I would have Died for him and For America, I would have trusted him, and trusted that the reason we were fighting was a good one. I would have trusted that all other options had been carefully and fully exhausted. I heard a rumor one time about * looking for a way to Draft medical professionals to the age of 45...without anyone being safe. I am 11 years under that limit and I have professional Medical License, I am only an LPN, but I still have credential. I am scared to death of *, I am scared of the World's reaction to America right now. We aren't smart enough to elect someone else, what does that say for us? The fact that none of us here voted any other way, we are Still American, it wouldn't matter. I would like to thank all the Repugs and their little drones, I really would. Way to go, Idiots. Now, as negative as this all does sound, I do have some glimmer of hope that we might get through this next dark 4 years, and we may have a light at the end of the proverbial tunnel. I am not holding my breath.

By that, I mean that he turns into a liberal Democrat.

Here's how I'll view this, realistically: Shit in one hand and wish in the other. See which one will fill first.

It would never occur to me that I should respect *. He's the antithesis of all I value and honor. He's been wiping his ass with our Constitution for the past four years - and I don't expect that's a habit he'll break anytime soon. He has the blood of 100's of thousands on his hands - and there will be more. He's a psuedo-Christian with a sociopathic disorder, branded and marketed by the IMmoral Majority and his short-sighted Pappy. The only thing I'm likely to disrespect more are the bigots, idiots and corporate whores who voted for him.

there is nothing he could-more realistically would-do to gain or earn my respect. Or any critically thinking person's respect. That simply is not a part of his make up. It sits outside his skill set, which is highly specialised and very narrow. There is no room in there for pleasing us.

Replace them with REAL moderates - both Dem & Rep. Appoint Bill Clinton as new Chief Justice, and ask Kerry & Gore to head a blue ribbon panel to make recommendations for correcting our horribly broken voting system.

Yeah, right.

for the first time in his life.

It'll never happen.
