"Anybody But Bush"

Rumsfeld/Ashcroft 2004
By Daryl L. Hunter

At the Albertson's stop light the other day I saw a bumper sticker that read "Anybody But Bush" and it got me to thinking. Although I support George Bush and Dick Cheney there is always room for improvement. After all The Bush education plan was written by Edward Kennedy, his prescription drug plan is a socialistic Lyndon Johnson like boondoggle, his effort to drill in ANWR for the oil we need seems a little limp wristed, and his failure to replace foreign oil with domestic ethanol by 2015 is irresponsible, and federalizing airport security borders on insanity.

Bush is a Commu-Trot, he's as unAmerican as Pirozhky pie and as red as Gorby's birth mark!
 
Bush = American Errorist :biggrin:
 
Rumsfeld/Ashcroft 2004

Oops, forgot the last line:

Reflecting upon these transgressions/comprimizes makes me wonder if a Rumsfeld/Ashcroft presidential ticket might be the answer to the "Anybody But Bush" dilemma.
:wink:

Rumsfeld/Ashcroft?? :eek:
What's a 'comprimize'?? :confused: :biggrin:
JEEZ! What's this guy been SMOKIN'? :surprise:
 
ashcroft is one of the worst parts of the admin!

Every part of this admin needs to go. I don't love John Kerry, but I have taken up advocating for him because, in the words of one famous person, "the house is on fire".
 
According to Daryl L. Hunter, you Liberals should be embracing President Bush instead of vilifying him; he's one of yours.

yeah, like when he tries to ban gay marriage, he becomes god. When he is doing a lousy job, he becomes liberal
:rolleyes:


But maybe, just maybe, Bush is the best the Republican has to offer
 
Let's see: erroding the Bill of Rights, calling for a Constitutional amendment to ban homosexual marriage, allowing big business to ruin the environment because he's in bed with with industry, supporting trade agreements that benefit large multinational corporations while screwing over just about everyone else...Yes, a liberal's dream...
