22. The DNC list is as big a sham as any other from the Bush admin
I'm glad it's working for you, but eventually companies will work through all the little loopholes in the law and start calling you again... then keep calling... and calling again. Just you wait a while.

I didn't get calls for about three years, but we refinanced our house not long ago and now I've got mortgage companies, banks, calling me constantly, and there's apparently nothing I can do about it.

Bush can stuff his Do Not Call List up his ass.

5. Only one
I could think of, and I think he signed it he didn't do more than that.

The Do not call registry

Correct me if I'm wrong, I sure wouldn't want to give him credit for something he didn't do.

Edited on Sun Dec-03-06 10:17 AM by neebob
Oh, and I cut back on my TV watching, specifically to avoid his live-action face and the sound of his voice.

20. Awareness
His total reign as the mouthpiece for American corps created an atmosphere
of mistrust. This created an interest of Americas' actual involvement in
events during and after WWI @ II.

The involvement of Ford Motor Co. and others corps (petroleum) which supported the nazis
and japanese with materials for their war machines and corps like IBM who supplied tech
support to the data bases which kept track of the Jews for Hitler.

With the intellect of a worm, shrub turned a blind eye to the cigarette addiction
our industy pushes on other country's and ignored the junk food industry's importing
of a crap diet to undernourished country's.


The list goes on--

23. Well, he did make a few lives better.
The CEOs of oil companies, for instance. And let's not forget Big Pharma.

You can't deny that those people are happier because of Bush.

26. If Bush "does" any more to make people's lives "better,"
we may not have a country left when he's through.

I'm sure those camps KBR will be building are to make people's lives "better." :sarcasm:

28. forced people to pay attention to their government- sadly not
all people- but I have learned more about the actions of my country that I had no idea about since the impeachment push- and far more than I like knowing, since *'s installation in Dec. of 2000-

I heard about 'Iran/Contra' I heard about 'The school of the Americas'", I suspected 'we' weren't as lilly white, and 'well intentioned' as our brainwashing would have us believe.

I NEVER DREAMED that the corruption, greed, and manipulative murderous actions that we have done, are doing, and encourage others to do on our behalf could possible be true, or as deeply rooted in our history and policies, as I have come to discover.

I never thought I'd have good cause to be ashamed to be a part of this nation.

Or that 'the people' could be over-ruled, and led like sheep to be part and party to this slaughter.

So, yes, I can say for me, I have become educated- not what I LIKE knowing, but what I needed to learn.

peace,
blu
