Dubya should have stayed on the fucking RANCH!!!
Just think how life would have been better if he just decided to stay on his Crawford ranch, not run for Governor, not run for President - and just host BBQ's every sunday.

Texans would love him as a nice guy. We wouldn't be at war. We'd have our surplus still. His ranch would be honored by President Al Gore as a "model of alternative energy" (it is...btw...) and he could all regale us with stories about raising twins and such.

1. He didn't even own the ranch until he decided to run for president.
It was purchased as a prop.

2. Very true...but
He has come to love that ranch. It's his security blanket. I honestly think he wishes he would have bought the ranch and not the presidency. I could see it during the debates - he had that "why am I fucking here?" look on his face. Same as poppy had in 92, only the media didn't pick up on it.

5. Yes, it's his security blanket - now.
After he leaves office, I think it will be quietly put on the market, and he'll never go there again.

13. It's a toy, a prop, a potemkin village.
I personally wish that he had dribbled down Babs' thigh and never grown into a curse on this nation, but that's just me.

3. Fate? Karma? Kismet?
Maybe it was just our turn as a nation to suffer, just like every other powerful "civilization" has throughout history.

This Texan never loved that arrogant, smart-ass and certainly never thought of him as a "nice guy."

11. The exit polls had Richards way ahead.
And georgie won by exactly the same margin as the exits had Richards winning.

What is it with * and exit polling error?
