those with their heads buried up their asses.
Those that want to see America fall...HARD, of which I am not one.
I want America to be strong and secure, but not at the price of a potential slide into the sewers of fascism.
We want the same thing, I conjure, just differ in the accepted methods is all.

I give you credit...you are determined!
I've thrown enough fuel on the fire for one day...not looking to satisfy some inner need you have to confront individuals....just go ahead and call me a neo-con troll, and move on to the next Con here ( not many left ) to grapple with.

Quote:Many people who are 'successful' in business do so at the expense of others; being a 'successful' business person in the US today does not necessarily equate to being principled. Look at various discussions regarding the housing bubble (either here, or at the 'economy roars on part 2' I forget which) to get a sense of what I'm referring to.

I agree that there is a big disjoint in our respective definitions of what constitutes principled behavior, at least concerning Bush. If someone offers you profit off a failed oil company or a baseball club, would you turn it down simply because this was money based on your connections? I think that if one examines closely and fairly the negative views of Bush, often these views turn out to be more irrational then those holding them initially perceive them.

Gotcha. I do think this is the core of our difference. I look at much of Bush's history and conclude he is not particularly 'principled'; he does seem to be a consummate 'gamer of the system' (eg: profits mentioned in previous posts). The core trust you seem to have for Bush is not present in me, and I feel for rational reasons.
You might be surprised at what I would walk away from on an ethical or moral basis; on one occasion I easily could have legally forced someone to fork over $10K more than I did. My lawyer kinda looked at me funny, but hell, I was paying his fees what's he going to do? ;-)
I'd be interested to know how you felt about Bush's 'service' in the National Guard to avoid the draft during the Vietnam era.

Well, damn, look what happens when one has ahem work to do, unlike the local court clerk (maybe even bailiff) who likes to troll.
Keep this up on top 'hero' and I'll get back to your cupidity when I get back in town Monday or Tuesday.

When was Bush ever a successful business man?

Quote:Bush is a millionaire; and by 'conventional' definition attained his money in 'business' dealings; thus making him a successful business man in some people's opinion. That he left rubble behind and shortened funds for 'other folks' is just to show 'other folks' were not successful; but that would be 'their problem', not Bush's.

In 2004 George had an estimated net worth of around $9 million to $26 million
