seriously, stop with the "Bush I CRIED!" threads
I've heard so many complaints about Republicans smearing candidate's families, don't you think you could begrudge a man just a little time to be proud of his son's accomplishments, even if their values are different from ours?

and now, here come the million and a half "don't defend a MURDERER!" replies. I won't reply to them, not because they think they've convinced me to shut up, but because I really don't care what people who can't look beyond extreme partisanship and let a man be proud for a couple seconds think.

6. 'don't you think you could begrudge a man just a little time'
OK, I'll begrudge him.

I frankly think it had nothing to do with his favorite son and more to the fact that the Bush name is turning to shit.

10. Seriously, where are all these threads?
I've seen a total of one about the idiot's crying so that hardly makes a slew of threads clogging up the board and offending your sensibilities.

I'd think that on a Democratic forum, in the midst of repubs stealing elections, killing our youth, destroying the economy, slandering our leaders, dividing us into the haves and the have-nots, attempting to encode hate into our Constitution, torturing at will, destroying the Writ of Habeas Corpus, etc..... you could come up with something more important to complain about than a few of us releasing some frustration at the expense of a criminal's tears.

But I guess you have your priorities.... :shrug:

12. I guess I come from the wrong age. I find all this crying puts me off
Funny since Bush father is even more my age. Where does all this come from to do this in public? It may be the 'thing' now for men to show all this but I see it more as a old fool who should be out of public range. I was even up-tight when Muskie did it over things said about his wife and that was years ago. And I do not like 80 plus crying over the heroes they knew in WW2. I am just the wrong age for it I am sure so I do not turn this stuff in.

14. Hit And Run Drivel
Edited on Tue Dec-05-06 05:50 AM by TheWatcher
That shouldn't have any replies at all.

I feel wrong for even adding mine.

And the reason you won't reply isn't because you could care less what people who question your, well what passes for your "wisdom" think, it is because you know there is no way to justify what "accomplishments" this monster freak show is "proud" of.

There is nothing to be proud of.

This bastard Bush, this giggling murderer, this ruptured boil on the ass of mankind, has never ACCOMPLISHED ANYTHING TO BE PROUD OF.

Besides, how could you reply with any sort of coherence.

With both feet in your mouth, you wouldn't make sense.

Then again, the words you spoke before ordering your feet for dinner made no sense either, so maybe it makes no difference.

Shoo.

Or better yet, show us your Hitler defense.

I need a good laugh.

16. Good for you.
Good to see someone taking a stand on an important issue.

Poppy has every right to be proud of Jebbie, particularly Florida 2000, that was a fine accomplishment.



Ok, let's be honest here. Instead of taking a cheap shot dig at DU, let's all admit that Poppy is probably crying because he knows it's the beginning of the end of the Bush family powerbase in America. Jebbie's little "fix" made it possible for George to be the man he is today (and as we all know that isn't going too well).

32. If you have so much outrage
Edited on Tue Dec-05-06 05:31 PM by nam78_two
Maybe use it for something useful :shrug:?

I see a lot of posters on DU scolding others for being crass about those twins, Bush sr. or whatever.

Ok so on this board some people shoot off steam against some people who are really screwing up this country. Ok so maybe thats not your thing, but if you are such a discriminating poster, I would imagine you could just ignore them and move on?

Is it really so surprising that a lot of people have a lot of steam to blow off against the Bushes? Again, it may totally not be your thing, but are these posts scolding people about propriety etc. about anything other than showing how superior you are :shrug:?

I understand if someone thinks its a waste of their time to bitch about the Bushes, but what I don't understand is why its worth someone's time to preach to a bunch of people who are hardly doing any harm and are just venting about politicians they really despise (with very good reason).

There are lots of posts on Darfur, the environment, poverty etc. on here that sink. Such discriminating posters can maybe focus on those?



Here is an Iraqi dad who has something to cry about:

36. Hey, don't be a board-nanny! Bush I isn't just "family" -- he's part of the problem!
He's CIA. You know damned well he recruited Cheney, Rummy and all the old warmongering cadavers. He positioned his sons -- New England carpetbaggers -- to be governors of the two Southern states with the largest number of electoral votes (sure paid off big for the right wing in 2000).

Thus, Bush I is fair game. Besides, it's not your board!!!!!

43. my dad is very close to Bush 41's age
If my Dad cried as he did, I'd feel a lot of empathy for my Dad. But...the crucial difference is that my dad has been a moral man his whole life. Bush 41, to put it plainly, deserves what's coming his way now. I think your days are numbered here. Best move on to another "less partisan" board.

45. "Even if their values are different than ours"
Yeah if you can call greed, apathy, narcissism, and a sense of entitlement and superiority values. These people have no values, no morals and no remorse. I'm not going to tell you not to defend a murderer, I'm going to tell you that whole thing was a fake, contrived, crock of shit spewed into the public conscience to make you think these people are human.
