Bush supporters' aftermath thread

It means a drop in Bush's popularity after the war (pretty much ended). As happened.

Damn dude.

The White House claimed yesterday that President Bush had won a mandate in the election on Tuesday. "Our overwhelming support by only half of a bitterly divided nation means that we have been given a fiat to implement the agenda a record number of voters disagreed with," said White House spokesman Scott McClellan.

McClellan acknowledged that in the 2000 election, the Bush administration had not recieved a mandate. "That's why the agenda we pursued in the past four years was so mild," he said.

McCelllan explained that in the next four years, the President was considering implementing policies that he would never have dreamed of pursuing a month ago. "For one thing, we're toying with making people in blue states carry red state people around in rickshaws," he said.

Additionally, because the "will of the people" requires it, members of the White House Press Gallery will heretofore be required to recite an oath of fealty to George W. Bush before entering the briefing room, and there will be no more questions from reporters. "Questions are for administrations that have to answer them," he said.

"This is the way democracy works," said McClellan. "Having a 3 percent edge over the almost 56 million voters who disagree with our policies means that we can do whatever we like.

"Democracy means never having to say you're sorry."

They live like other civilized countries did 1,000 years ago. Look at how they treat their people. Even worse, would you want to be born a woman there? They deserve basic human rights too. Saudi Arabia, who is our best ally, still has public hangings, copping off the hand of a thief, and other gruesome stuff that is not tolerated by civilized countries. Show up on Friday at Town Square for the blood sport, not justice. This is the best the middle eastern countries have ever offered, but is among the same wealth and power as modern countries that do not practice blood sport, in the name of justice.

Women are being owned and treated worse than our pet dogs. They cannot own anything, but a father or husband always owns them. They actually go to prison for a crime their husband committed. If their husband dies, leaving them with children, they can't get a job and support their family. They can't remarry because they aren't virgins. This leads to cutting the clit of a young woman off making them mutilated and unable to enjoy sex, as any normal woman can and should. Sex just causes these women more problems. No woman should be owned. Why don't these women have rights, as we do?

Sheikha Lubna al-Qasimi, a member of the Sharjah royal family, is to take on the key job of economics and planning minister.

The move comes as a part of a wider government reshuffle and the merging of three ministries.

There are other women ministers in Gulf countries, in Bahrain, Oman and Qatar, but Sheikha Lubna's role is the most senior to date.

Educated at a US university, she's gregarious and approachable as well as still being traditional enough to wear the black abaya and shayla robes of most Emirate women.

Sheikha Lubna has had a meteoric rise through the male dominated government and business ranks of her country.

Her background is in information technology rather than economy but her personality suggests she'll take a hands-on role as the country's first female minister.

They can't remarry because they aren't virgins. This leads to cutting the clit of a young woman off making them mutilated and unable to enjoy sex, as any normal woman can and should.

Even if Saddam had nothing to do with the terrorism, which I seriously doubt, this is shameful to treat people in this way
