They thought that he would be fun to have a beer with.
They told us that he was the kind of guy that we would all like to have a beer with. Yes, this recovering alcoholic was just the type of person that everyone wanted to chug one down with. And this they told us, was a reason to vote for him. He was likable they told us.

Well it turns out that this “likable” person of theirs has now slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people in Iraq.

This “likable” person has set up secret prisons where prisoners of one particular race (Arab) and one particular religion (Islam) are tortured and held without charges or access to legal counsel.

This “likable” person allowed a major American city to drown while he sat and strummed on the guitar with a big smile on his face.

This is the man they tried to convince us that we should have a beer with. But, I am telling you this guy has already had enough to drink, and anyone who thinks he should have another is seriously fucking insane.

When they tried selling this guy to us in 2000 they knew he was an alcoholic, the guy even admitted it. Yet despite their knowledge they thought people should vote for him, because maybe, just maybe he would get drunk with them if he became President.

Well he did get drunk again, and it is apparent that the talking heads in our media got drunk with him. They got drunk with him and they started laughing off all the stupid shit he was doing. They laughed it off when he stole the election, they laughed it off when he started cracking down on our civil liberties, they laughed it off when he murdered hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, and they laughed it off when he tortured people.

Rather than telling this guy that he has had way too much to drink they kept passing him more, and as soon as he could no longer walk they would hand him the keys to the car and allow him to drive everyone home.

It should have came as no surprise when he drove us off a cliff, and yet our media pretended as if they played no role in this. Despite the fact that they used the appeal of having a beer with this guy as a reason to convince people to hand him the car keys they try to pretend they were merely neutral observers and they had no role in getting him drunk.

But they did get him drunk, and now he has hit rock bottom and he has taken us with him. Not all of us wanted this though, many people didn't want to have a drink him and in fact most people voted against having that drink. Yet our media wanted him to drink so badly that they allowed him to steal an election and instructed us to get over it when he did.

But I am not over it. This guy should have never been given alcohol, and he sure as hell shouldn't have been given the fucking car keys. It is time to take the keys away from him now, and it is time to take them away permanently. Watching this guy has already sobered us up, now it is time to sober him up.

8. What about the inebriated people who staggered to the polls to vote for him not once, but twice?.

The media are the Cool Kids. And they have the Coolest parties. :party:

Media:

Gosh, we didn't mean no harm - we was just havin' a little fun. Besides, ALL the kids were doin' it. EVERYBODY wanted to drink with him. NOBODY could have foreseen the car flying into that building..., er..., I mean off of that cliff.

So now is not the time to be pointing fingers. It's time to reach across the aisle to be more EFFECTIVE in spreading democracy and protecting the homeland. :)

Tremendous post. :thumbsup:

11. Great post...Kick and recommend...
Yes, the MSM took the US for a ride...but the people who voted for him are responsible as well...and the one's who voted him for a second term need to be locked up...it is the only way to protect us from them...they don't deserve to part of America. They will continue to assist in the destruction of the world.
