Bush is a "fine Southern Gentleman"

[librechik]

as Naomi Judd memorably said before the 2000 election.

snip
"With a year to go until the election, a solid core of Americans emphatically back George W. Bush for a second term — no matter who else is on the ballot. They approve of his conservative values. Mostly, though, they admire his character.

Simply put: They trust him."

"Even if I don't line up with him exactly on all his policies, I want a president who stands up for what he believes in," said Robert Koerper, 44, a restaurant owner. "You always know where he's coming from. That's the kind of leader I want."

Southern citizens are using the "character" talking point to cover up for the obvious: they are racists, and they believe Shrub is a racist, and they are sticking with him the way a murder cult member sticks by its leadership. To do otherwise would reveal the criminal secret they share.

I spit on this "character" lie. The character these people feel they can trust is the hidden, mean character which snickers at a Christian begging for her life, that sends thousands to die in battle for a vicious, greedy lie, that would blasphemously claim to be sent by God to kill children in the Near East. Isn't it wrong to presume you know God's plan Isn't it wrong to the point of being thown to the lions to claim that killing is better than peace? These people are shamefully of the same mind, pretending to be Christians when in fact they are merely using the church to hide their diabolic acts and beliefs.

Not only that, he's not even Southern! He was born and mainly raised in Connecticut or Washington!

But these lying racists, as the writer points out, are "not about to change." Never ever ever. We need to expose their un-Christian sinful lying world, and help our brothers and sisters in the South who try to oppose this lethal attitude.

(I'm transplanting some of this comment from the original place it's buried at the end of a long thread--I've been meaning to address this issue for a long time)

3. Please don't stereotype Southerners

There's plenty of us in Alabama who despise * and his policies. And the numbers are growing.

Daily there are new LTTE in my local newspaper that are extremely critical of the Smirkmeister. In Sunday's edition they had an expaned section of letters and all were against Bushco and Judge Roy Moore.

We're not ignorant racists. I'm sure they still exist in my state but I would say they are in the minority.

4. "Fine Southern Gentleman" is a lie. AWOL is a Yankee bastard and

all you Southern bashers should admit he's yours. :evilgrin:

[WoodrowFan]

6. we don't want him!

that's why he got sent South. But if you want to deny he's southern and say he's really a TEXAN then that's fine by me! I don't see why the Carolinas or Virginia or the rest of the southeast need accept blame for him, besdiues the fact that they voted for him!! (not including Florida)

[elfwitch]

8. He is NOT a Texan !!

He just claims that to make himself look like a cowboy. He wasn't born in Texas. He could never be a Texas Ranger (gotta be born in Texas for this one). He is not a Texan.

He makes is mighty damn embarrasing to tell anyone I was born in this state.

[WoodrowFan]

12. let's take a vote

Let's be democratic and take a vote between states, is Dubya a Texan?

Ok, roll call, which states say Texas gets to claim Shurb as its own... (counting) Alabama, Arkansas, Alaska, ok, DC, you can vote too!, no Florida, you can't vote twice... ok, Maine, Marylnd, um, Oklahoma, please stop laughing and vote, ok, that's a yay.... (tallying votes) and the final results...

50 votes (49 states plus DC) say he's from Texas.
1 vote (Texas) says nay.

(bangs gavel) it's settled, Dubya is a TEXAN!

[elfwitch]

16. ummmm NO

If calling him a chimp is an insult to all ape kind, then calling him a Texan would be an insult to any of us that still remember when it was cool to be from Texas.

How about we say he's a freak of nature and only belongs in an oddities museum?

[WoodrowFan]

19. freak of nature? humm

freak of nature, hummmm, that works. ok, it's a deal!

[NewJeffCT]

13. His 200 campaign biography

Didn't even list that he was born in Connecticut... they don't want anybody to know that's his family has been New Englanders for generations.

[OKNancy]

5. A little off topic, but those Judds are one f-ed up family

Wynona got arrested for DUI this weekend after how much talk and bible thumping, but then you have Ashley, all nice and liberal.

[TacticalPeek]

14. cf. Ashley in "Ruby in Paradise"

An excellent movie.

[Mari333]

7. Im in Michigan and theres shitloads of Bushbots here

they come out of their bunkers in the winter and drive around in their pickups ..the ignorance is beyond my comprehension. They are everywhere. Like some seeping oozing virus.
Lets just say..anything South of Canada right now is too far south for me. Wish I was a Canadian!

[Tyler Durden]

18. You got THAT right.

I swear I want to swerve into the cars I see with "Sportsmen for BUSH" on them .

Now that Deer season is here, they all got new stickers.

9. the key "success" of the neocons in the 90's

was to demonize Clinton. He is widely thought to be dishonest, lecherous, unethical and sneaky.

The key failure of the Democrats is that we don't demonize the opposition's leadership.

This view of Bush is wholly ignorant and can be based only on a shallow acceptance of neocon propaganda.

[dennis4868]

10. not only neocon propaganda.....

but media propganda as well. The media is sponsoring this so-called presidency. Bush has a very bad and criminal past and his WH has committed many crimes in the past 2 1/2 years and the media gives him a free ride. If it was Clinton we would be in the middle of a constitutional crisis and impeachment hearing would be the story of the day!

[leftofthedial]

15. the media is a tool of the neocons

Goebbels was a Nazi.

Paula Zahn, Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reily are neofascists.

[TacticalPeek]

11. A carpetbagger of the vilest sort.

" . . I'm basically a media creation. I've never done anything."


Thanks, media. :mad:

[LoneStarLiberal]

17. Bush Is A Carpetbagging Chickenhawk

Or "CC" as I like to call him.

Fine Southern gentleman my ass. He's a stinking moron who doesn't have the sense to understand what being a fine Southern gentleman would entail.

[mmonk]

20. Are you trying to permanently lose the south?

[dreissig]

21. Flame War

Any time you connect Bush with the South it starts a flame war. I'm offering this as an observation, not as an endorsement.
