The President wants us to "trust" him. Just a few of the reason I cannot.

The President is asking the American people to trust him on domestic wiretapping. Why should we?

In case we forget, there were no weapons of mass destruction. He told us we do not use torture and then we find out about Abu Gharaib and Guantanamo. He told us we were going to bring freedom and democracy to Afghanistan, but they are now the worlds largest opium producer, women can be killed for showing their faces and stoned to death for having been victims of rape.

He let the oil companies write our energy policy and the pharmaceutical companies design the prescription program. He outsourced our jobs, and now wants to hire foreigners to run our ports and screen our cargo. He refused to enforce mining safety laws while professing sympathy for dead miners. He has borrowed billions of dollars to finance his war while giving 50% of the huge tax breaks to the top 2% of the nations wealthy. He allowed corporations to move off-shore to avoid paying taxes and then gave those same corporations no-bid, multi-million dollar contracts in Iraq and the Gulf Coast. He told us he did not know Jack Abramoff, but refused to release the pictures of him at Republican fundraisers and the White House.

He thought Brownie was “doing one heck of a job”.

He touted government reports on employee productivity, which in effect means American workers are working longer hours for less money, while suggesting that we should give amnesty to illegal foreign workers. He told us he’s strong on homeland security but allowed members of his administration to reveal the name of an undercover CIA agent to discredit her husband. He told us he believes in civil rights but has used the FBI to spy on Christian peace groups and grandmothers that oppose the war. He sent our National Guard to fight his war and then tried to change the rules so he could use the regular military in times of crisis.

He commissioned a report on outsourcing and it’s long-term effect on our economy and then classified the report. He commissioned a report on global warming and it’s ecological repercussion and then had non-scientist administrators revise and redact the report when he didn’t like the results.

He sent too few troops to fight without body armor and without properly reinforced tanks. And then told us that the commanders got everything they asked for.

Now he tells us that we should “trust” that he is not spying on ordinary Americans. Well, Mr. President, trust, like respect must be earned.

How much lower can a man get?

"Fuck Saddam, we're taking him out!"

The downing street memo's say that war was inevitable, the run-up to which was to coincide with elections, and getting the UN to send inspectors in was just a game to "flat-foot" Saddam to give us an excuse for invasion.

He created a special group to "reinterperet" the evidence to support war, since it wasn't saying what he wanted.

His administration committed treason by exposing a CIA agent as retaliation for someone daring to state that a piece of our evidence against Iraq was an obvious forgery, something that the inspectors agreed with.

On the eve of war, before announcing that military actions would commence, Bush pumped his fist into the air and said "Feels good!"

And now he has the nerve to say he didn't want war, and the intel was wrong, not him.

Of course, the invasion cut short inspections, despite our feeding intel to the inspectors (which led them nowhere), despite inspectors saying Iraqi's were cooperating, despite the inspectors finding no WMD whatsoever and asking for more time to complete their job.

And Bush has the nerve to this day say Saddam kicked the inspectors out, not him.

The guy is a war criminal, and should be on trial right next to Saddam.

And now he wants the American people to trust him!!

K'd & R'd!!!

:kick: :kick: :kick:

Well done!!

trust..bush has never earned Anything.

The only followers bush has are the people who can't or won't think for themselves.

we fought a war (2 wars, actually) against the britsh many moons ago in order to create a government founded on the principle that government ought NOT to be trusted.

Ring any bells?

There is no way I can trust a man who sends other people's children to be killed, or maimed, in a war simply because Doofus wanted to be a "war" president. He started office with the goal of invading Iraq in mind. A man who would sacrifice so many lives, both American and Iraqi, simply to get his way is not a man to be trusted. It was bad enough when he ran his businesses into the ground, and had to get bailed out by his daddy's friends. I know people lost jobs, and suffered for his mistakes. Now he is doing the same to the United States, and Iraq, and there is nobody capable of stopping the destruction until he is removed from office.

I would trust.

that scare the boojeezuz out of me!!

are.

HELL! I'll never trust a person with the last name "Bush" for as long as I live!!! :mad:
