5. In a way I'm glad Bush stole the election, he has to live with...
...the mess he and his neo-con, Dominionists right-wing federalists have created and perhaps when the mental tide turns in the country, these people and their kind will be wiped out of existence.

AMERICA RULES! We're #1

By David Podvin

The World Health Organization has released a study that verifies the United States is the undisputed champion in mental illness*, dominating various pathologies ranging from anxiety to depression to poor impulse control. We easily vanquished underachieving Old Europe in post-traumatic stress syndrome, bipolar disorder, and bulimia nervosa. Additionally, our magnificent land trounced the supposedly productive Asian countries in both senility and agoraphobia, while coasting past Africa in pediatric hyperactivity. In fact, there would have been a gold medal sweep for America if Ukraine had not cheated by submitting doctored urine to edge us out in substance abuse.

In retaliation for Ukrainian treachery, “Chicken Kiev” will henceforth be known by every patriotic American as “Chicken Freedom”.

Distributing praise for America’s smashing victory requires giving the devil his due. Although liberals abhor complimenting the right wing, it is undeniable that without conservatives the United States would not even be one of the hundred craziest countries. This is especially true as it relates to the glamour categories of paranoia and psychosis.

Any nation that aspires to lead the world in mental illness requires a leader who is unabashedly mentally ill, and in this area America is truly blessed. Rather than educating himself on major issues of life and death by studying, George W. Bush faithfully listens to the voices in his head that have been keenly honed during a lifetime of not studying. Bush takes this approach based on his deeply held belief that only by remaining abjectly ignorant of all relevant facts can he possibly make a fully informed decision. His commitment to prioritizing fantasy over reality is strong and unyielding. The former Texas governor is a one-man psycho ward, and absent his sterling contribution the United States could never have achieved derangement preeminence.

10. Me too
Frankly I'm tired of seeing Democrats cleaning up elephant crap. America needs to be reminded that the Republicans only make messes they never clean them up. That's what Democrats are for. Not anymore!You don't go running into quicksand and yell help us! help us! Then the Democrats come to thier rescue, pull you them out of the quicksand, and take them to prosperity. Only to have them turn around and run right back unto the quicksand. Frankly I think the worst think the worst thing we could do to the Republicans is leave them in office and wait for the mobs to appear.

4. I'm surprised they don't do that anymore
:shrug: I guess since he was "re-elected" he doesn't have to worry about poll numbers and pleasing people. So how did he get re-elected again?

6. This is great; if true.
The more this administration is exposed for what their real agenda is the better. You'll still have the 'Bush-bots' and the 'Broken-glass Repubs' out there that think that Bush was ordained by God to lead this country --(gag), but I know that we can make a change if we just stick together. There are FReepers' over there posting their Opus's.
