bush doesn't give a fuck about the suffering he's caused
he doesn't give a fuck about the soldiers, or their families. or about attending their funerals. or about helping them when they get back. or about caring for them now that they are blinded, disfigured, limbless, impotent, and made mad by battle. he doesn't even lose sleep at night over it.

he doesn't give a fuck about mari's suffering, and her son's fate. he doesn't even think about such things. or the gruesome number '1,000', or the horror at seeing marines approaching the door with sad faces. or the suffering of little children in iraq or afghanistan. or the torturous sufferings of the prisoners at abu ghraib. he just doesn't give a flying fuck.

what a man, what a peice of work. what a disgrace. i cannot stand to see him in my white house for another four long years. american just can't live through that. we give a fuck george, even if you don't.

15. To understand what's going on, you must understand this:
On December 24, 2001, Pat Robertson resigned his postition has president of the Christian Coalition. Christians saw this act as a revelation that the Bush administration was a government under God that was led by an anointed President who would be the first regent in a dynasty of regents awaiting the return of Jesus to earth.

Katherine Yurica wrote the above. She has done extensive research into the overthrow of the republican party by fundamentalist right-wing christians, led by Pat Robertson.

Here's what she writes in her piece "The New Messiahs":

Robertson believes that an important part of American foreign policy should be the overthrow of repressive governments around the world and that young Christians should be willing to fight and die in military actions. In fact, he believes that young men have been called by God to do so. Herb Titus, Dean of the School of Public Policy at CBN University told Robertson on the show on May 27, 1985: “I believe that those who believe in God will ultimately bring justice in all circumstances.” Should they die in the process, Titus said, they need only remember, “They still have eternal life in Jesus Christ.”

http://www.yuricareport.com/Art%20Essays/The%20New%20Messiahs%20Excerpts.htm

In another article, The Despoiling of America: How George W. Bush became the head of the new American Dominionist Church/State, she writes:

Gary North explained: “The point of Deuteronomy 28 is this: the way to wealth, both individual and corporate, is through systematic adherence to God’s Bible-revealed law.”<67>

Hence the idea that should a nation minister to the poor or attempt to lift the poor out of poverty or save people from poverty and ill health, that nation is contravening the will of Almighty God and such legislation is contrary to the laws of God. It is only one step further to say that if this is God’s attitude toward the poor, it is morally wrong to help them.


http://www.yuricareport.com/Dominionism/TheDespoilingOfAmerica.htm

Has anyone else read Yurica? If what she writes is true, this election is even more vital than I had realized. These people truly believe the only way to "save" the world is to return to "God's Will" as revealed in the bible. And, they see Bush* as leading the way.

4. I`ll tell you one thing...
I can not even find the words anymore to describe how much I abhor this man. Bush can`t even distinguish between reality and Rove`s talking points....we`re safer,we`re bringing democracy to Iraq, the economy is improving, blah....blah....freakin` blah.

9. Even though I doubt he has ever heard of PNAC, much less
understand it,he has absorbed the idea that he is one of the chosen Elites born to rule us the ignorant masses.Because we do not count (Remember "who cares what you think?"),he never bothers to think about our suffering.Special rules are made for him either at Colleges or Corporations or at the Air National Guard r even in the Presidential elections to smooth his way.He is indeed truly blest as the saying goes.Why would he care if we exist except in those cases where he needs some servants to do his bidding?

10. Isn't it obvious that many Americans don't care either?
...or why would they want to keep him in office?

11. People who respond to fear based
ideology are idiot boys' main followers...the rest are sadly uninformed...or at worst apathetic.

12. How about the suffering here at home?
He supports offshoring.

He insulted American workers.

He cut overtime pay benefits, which unlike what the Minneapolis Star-Tribune had said, WILL CAUSE AN IMPACT ON EMPLOYEES (especially in nursing where they all have to work 12+ hour shifts).

Millions of good jobs lost, replaced with piddle retail crap that can't even allow one person to support one's self, much less a family - assuming you can get one of those, they have profiling tests where a computer decides if you're good enough (instead of a human).

I could go on and on and on. But the point is clear.

13. No, he doesn't
He has no heart, nor compassion, or the ability to feel the suffering he has brought onto the American people in the last 3.8 years. Sometimes, I wish I was a religious person just to know that this piece of shit excuse for a human was going to get his in the end.

16. I just saw the STUPIDEST, MOST INSULTING
commercial on NYC local news. Bush was sitting there w/ Pickles (in a kind of blurry, gauzy shot) saying "I can't imagine having to decide which child to pick up first. It must have been terrible to have been one of those parents on the morning of September 11th...blah, blah, freedom, gotta protect our country, blah blah blah, etc. No emotion, it was so obvious he didn't give a shit and it came across as completely false and insincere.

My first reaction was WTF -it seemed so stupid, inappropriate and completely pointless considering what is going on NOW. Yes,RIGHT NOW, Chimpy!

If he thinks that he can run and win on September 11th, he's toast. It's obvious to even the most obtuse viewer that he stands for nothing and that his pathetic attempt at manipulating 9/11 for his political campaign is lower than low.

Well, I'm off, gotta go protest - I'm late!
