Is the country being run by a madman? Bush, Sr., Scarborough, and others seem to think so. Can this man be allowed to have his finger on the button?

That's scary. Bush is to weak in the mind to cope with the pressure. This guy is a loser all the way around.
In the last days of Nixon's term, during which he was depressed and drinking heavily, the pentagon and congress was very concerned that he might take some rash action(s). Plans were made to countermand any orders that would be detrimental to the country.

Unfortunatly our mental case has two more years to go. If he's cracking up now what will he be like a year from now? Maybe God will tell him to attack Iran.
What's worse is if he is removed we're stuck with Cheney. He's also a 'nuke em' nut case.
Two more years of having a fanatical Christian madman in the White House with his itchy fingers on the nuclear trigger is sure 'nuff scary. Maybe the best thing to do would be to move far from any target and build a deep bomb shelter. Since the Federal government now is monitoring every move you make, perhaps you might escape into the wilds of Canada's Northwest Province. Of course, you'd have to cut all ties with the United States to avoid being watched constantly by the NSA. I mean, aren't you just a little concerned that the CIA is taking notes on your sex habits, and listing you as a subversive to be put into a concentration camp for the perverted?
Best be gett'n, while the gett'ns good. If you wait too long, you might not be permitted to leave.
I don't know how so many of us have been so blind for so long. You guys were right all along, the country has been completely taken over and ceased to be a Constitutional republic during that idiots first run for President. He couldn't possibly have gotten more than a dozen votes, but his Daddy's money and the Right-Wing conspiracy had already taken over the entire Judicial System. Its now clear that Bush orchestrated 9/11 to justify world conquest. First, colonize South Asia to control all the oil and then blackmail Europe and the rest of the world by withholding the oil. Apparently the crypto-nazi Right Wing has a secret agreement with the Elders of Zion to exterminate all the Muslims to clear the way for resettlement by pure, God-fearing conservatives.
Such dastards!!
Asherman rips off his clothes and gets REAL dirty with a bent-over strawman. Even the farm animals avert their eyes.
Here you go, blatham.
Quote:A
straw man argument is a logical fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position. To "set up a straw man" or "set up a straw-man argument" is to create a position that is easy to refute, then attribute that position to the opponent. A straw-man argument can be a successful rhetorical technique (that is, it may succeed in persuading people) but it is in fact misleading, since the argument actually presented by the opponent has not been refuted.

Ticomaya- I think that you are a very intelligent poster. Most of your offerings are to the point and give us additional perspectives. Why do you waste your time?

I'm just a giving person I guess.
Asherman's post must be repeated since it is pertinent to the thread-------

END OF QUOTE FROM ASHERMAN.
Mr. Asherman--- Your post is excellent. A great answer to Advocate and Xingu, but I must really inform you( in case you have not discerned it already) that
l. Advocate is probably the most IGNORANT poster on A2k. hE? She? does not give evidence but just blah blah blahs without posting ANYTHING to buttress his? her? post. Xingu has posted so much garbage, which is usually thoroughly rebutted by others, that his offerings are inconsequential. But, inasmuch as Xingu and Advocate feel that going on an irrational spree( WITHOUT OFFERING EVIDENCE) is called for, I will join the party!
The Democratic drive to take over the Presidency has been severely damaged today with the revelations that Hillary Rodham Clinton is actively engaged in a Lesbian romance with one of her secretaries.
When reached for comment, the former first lady huffed: I don't think that is any business of yours!
A political bombshell has hit DC. Joe Biden, who committed plagiarism in the past has been shown to have fudged his credentials from the University of Delaware and the Syracuse Law School.
Once a plagiarist--always a plagiarist!!!
Biden is finished.
Before the Democratic wolves get ahold of this, we need to defuse it. This is one of several spurious documents purporting to provide an inside look at how this Administration came to be, and to reveal its plans for World Domination. This is strictly fictional. Don't believe a word of it. This is just another of those wild conspiracy theories that the left is so fond of spreading. Total FICTION.
Quote:Partial Transcript 12AUG98, present: Bush, Cheyne, Rumsfeld
Bush: I won the war and the Democrats won the election. It just doesn't seem fair to me.
Cheney: Well, that "read my lips" statement about taxes certainly didn't help.
Rumsfeld: Lets face it, the Democrats might have been getting close to discovering our little drama anyway.
Cheney: Now Rummy, we agreed not to talk about paying off Saddam to invade Kuwait.
Rumsfeld: But, it was such a beautiful plan to divert attention from Ronnie's' National Debt, and it let us gain a strangle hold over those arrogant Saudi playboys. You've got to hand it to those guys in Mossad, they're clever.
Bush: Let's get back to the topic. The country is so prosperous that Clinton and the Democrats are going to be difficult to beat unless we do something about it, and soon. Our agreement with Israel to totally break the power of their Muslim neighbors is getting off-track. What can we do about it?
Rumsfeld: When you're right, you're right. I was looking forward to leading our forces to victory, but now
Cheney: Rummy, wake up and smell the roses. We don't even have a candidate to run against Clinton.
Bush: Yeah, and I was sort of hoping to pass on the Office to my boy.
Rumsfeld and Cheney: Laughing for several minutes.
Cheney: (wiping tears from his rosy cheeks) First, we have to find a way to undercut Al Gore. Damn, smarty pants is almost boring enough to lose on his own. Self-righteous jerk won't play ball.
Bush: Lets go around Gore, and get at him through his association with Clinton.
Cheney: But Boss, Clinton is popular and the country has never been so well off. What could we do to tear down the Clintons?
Rumsfeld: If we want to run the shrub, that will take some doing. Even though we have the Supreme Court in our pockets, and control the key players in important districts, that might not be enough. We have to discredit the whole administration.
Bush: Being married to Hillary, Clinton has to have a wandering eye. How about if we put a teenaged bimbo in his reach, then spring the good old Honey Trap?
Rumsfeld: That might work, but it's too uncertain. Perhaps we could pay Clinton off to throw the election. Promise him some cash and let him join the club. He'll owe us so much, that later he'll come around.
Cheny: That sounds good. I'll have someone on it first thing. Since Israel has so much riding on this, maybe our friends in Mossad could help out.
Rumsfeld: No, we already owe them a lot. Lets keep them out of the election, because we'll need them later when we take over the Middle East.
Bush: I agree. Lets keep Mossad out of this one. Getting Clinton to lay down, plus our agents in key voting districts, plus having the Supreme Court on board should be sufficient.
Cheney: Alright. We get the Shrub elected, and then what? He can't put together a simple sentence, has failed at everything even when we've smoothed the way for him, and he could fall off the wagon at anytime.
Bush: Well, we'll run you as VP, and have Georgie make Rummie Secretary of Defense.
Rumsfeld: That works for me. Between the two of us we should be able to control him. Of course, once he opens his mouth we will have credibility problems.
Cheney: I'd hate to spend the Club's money to get Shrub elected and then not be able to deliver. That could really hurt us personally.
Bush: First, we buy this election. Right? (Cheyne and Rumsfeld, nodding) Then we wait one term to let things settle down. We could move schedule the terrorist attack for late in Georgie's first term, and that should get him elected again. That's when Phase 2 will really begin. Right?
Cheney and Rumsfeld: That's right, Boss.
Bush: All right. You guys get out there and get things ready. I'll start prepping Georgie and make sure he understands the role he has to play. We'll meet back here to compare notes and make whatever adjustments are necessary. Oh yes, one other thing. Rummy, get in touch with Mossad and bring them up to speed. I sure hate owing those guys, but they are essential to the Master Plan.
Asherman, you better keep your day job.
It is cute to see Tico and Bernard in a love feast.
I don't understand what you mean. I'm just a retired guy with a few old connections.
Ash, that is good because you will never make it as a comedian.
That's funny, usually you guys accuse me of being staid, humorless, and uptight.
You are all those things. I didn't say otherwise.

Genius is often misunderstood, Asherman.
