No mystery about what Bush will do.

[MaryBear]

Bush will do what he has always done.

Bush will do whatever he pleases.

He never did care what you or I thought,

and now he particularly does not care.

My prediction is that everything on his agenda

that he can do without congressional approval

he will charge ahead and do.

He has had an agenda

and consistently followed it.

Why change now?

[Kiouni]

1. your right, what's he have to lose?

his political career is over... he can't become a public speaker...hehehe After this it's over for him and his freaky little wife.

2. He'll even do things he can't do without congressional approval. And then

only stop if someone with authority challenges him.

There aren't many with authority when it comes to him.

[MaryBear]

4. LOL! You're right SharonAnn!

What might it take? Not impeachment. There is not enough time. Unfortunately, though I laugh it is a serious problem. I would be surprised to find he does NOT have a list: "Things I must do before my term ends, even if the Dems win both houses." He is an activist President.

3. He's accomplished just about everything on that agenda.

That's why I laugh when people say he is a failure. Sure, from our perspective, it's been a miserable six years.

But, if you combine the PNAC agenda with newt's "contract on america" about the only thing missing is the dismantling of Social Security. He's been a great success for the 1-3 per cent of the people at the top of the food chain. (his base, as he jokingly calls them)

And you're right, he's going to keep going. He doesn't care what the history books say about him ! Shit, he never liked school or books anyway.

[MaryBear]

5. Have you called Social Security lately?

Listen to the PR that is played while you are on hold. It goes something like, "We'll run out of money soon. Be sure to vote for another system to replace this one."

[4morewars]

6. See ?

It was solvent when Clinton left office.

They have a plan and it's going well for them.
The war in Iraq will guarantee endless war, and endless profits.
The outsourcing of jobs is to break organized labor's back, thus bankrupting the Democrats and creating a permanent slave class, to do the work and fight the wars. Slaves don't need healthcare or pensions !
The neo-cons already think of that Social Security money as rightfully theirs.

[MaryBear]

7. What to you mean, "See ?"

I said it first 4morewars!

Er

We agree.

[4morewars]

8. lol, I'm not arguing with you !

Sorry about the rant, these people drive me nuts !

:toast:

[Lasher]

9. Gutting Social Security has been on his list from the start.

He's said he'd try it again next year, and the one after that. But this is one thing he will not do as he pleases, thanks to the Democratic majorities in the Senate and House. Thank God we'll never know how that would have ended up if the GOP had retained control of Congress.

Good rant. I'm holding up a card with a 9.6 on it.

[4morewars]

10. LOL, Thank you !

I could go on, but it's almost four AM, I need to get some sleep.

Peace

11. quite simply, the thing that drives Bush the most

is an obsession to completely tear down and destroy everything FDR created. Bush sees himself as the Anti-FDR, saving America from the evil patrician socialist's resonating hand. His FDR fetish is written all over him, just start with his Scotty dog and go from there.

It's also why I have no problem believing he let 9/11 happen. Because it's well known now that FDR let Pearl Harbor happen, though FDR sacrified a few thousand to save the world, and bush sacrified a few thousand to try and destroy it. Easily justified in Dubya's pea brain that he was doing right.

Can hear him at the trial --

"But - But - FDR did it too!"
