George Bush Theme Song

Sing along, folks -- to the tune of Beverly Hillbillies:


Come and listen to my story 'bout a boy named Bush.
His IQ was zero and his head was up his tush.
He drank like a fish while he drove a car about.
But that didn't matter 'cuz his daddy bailed him out.
DUI, that is.
Criminal record.
Cover-up.

Well, the first thing you know little Georgie goes to Yale.
He can't spell his name but they never let him fail.
He spends all his time hangin' out with student folk.
And that's when he learns how to snort a line of coke.
Blow, that is.
White gold.
Nose candy.

The next thing you know there's a war in Vietnam.
Kin folks say, "George, stay at home with Mom."
Let the common people get maimed and scarred.
We'll buy you up a spot in the Texas National Guard.
Cush, that is.
Country clubs.
Nose candy.

Twenty years later George gets a little bored.
He trades in the booze, says that Jesus is his Lord.
He said, "Now the White House is the place I wanna be."
So he called his daddy's friends and they called the GOP.
Gun owners, that is.
Falwell.
Jesse Helms.

Come November 7, the election ran late.
Kin folks said "Jeb, give the boy your state!"
"Don't let those colored folks get anywhere near polls."
So they put up barricades so they couldn't punch their holes.
Chads, that is.
Duval County.
Miami-Dade.

Before the votes were counted all the five Supremes stepped in.
Told all the voters "Hey, we want our George to win."
"Stop counting votes!" was their solemn invocation.
And that's how little Georgie finally got his coronation.
Rigged, that is.
Illegitimate.
No moral authority.
Y'all come vote now.
Ya hear?

Speaking of Fantasyland....


There ya go.

Are we comparing net worth now? Well, other than being useful in a game of trivial pursuit I'm not quite sure of the reason but I'll contribute. Here's a list of the top 10 Senate millionaires.

John Kerry, D-Massachusetts: $163,626,399
Herb Kohl, D-Wisconsin: $111,015,016
John Rockefeller, D -West Virginia: $81,648,018
Jon Corzine, D-New Jersey: $71,035,025
Dianne Feinstein, D-California: $26,377,109
Peter Fitzgerald, R-Illinois: $26,132,013
Frank Lautenberg, D-New Jersey $17,789,018
Bill Frist, R-Tennessee: $15,108,042
John Edwards, D-North Carolina: $12,844,029
Edward Kennedy, D-Massachusetts: $9,905,009

That's a lot of change.

I find it disheartening that it has come down to this in the USA.

Thirteen Democratic members of the House of Representatives, raising the specter of possible civil rights violations that they said took place in Florida and elsewhere in the 2000 election, wrote to U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan in July, asking him to send observers.

What? No Republicans?

My quote in my sig...

 

[Lebjwb]

An excerpt from the STATUS REPORT ON PROBE OF ELECTION PRACTICES IN FLORIDA DURING THE 2000 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION





The evidence points to an array of problems, including those in the following categories:

· Key officials anticipated before Election Day, that there would be an increase in levels of voter turnout based upon new voter registration figures, but did not ensure that the precincts in all communities received adequate resources to meet their needs;

· At least one unauthorized law enforcement checkpoint was set up on Election Day resulting in complaints that were investigated by the Florida Highway Patrol and the Florida Attorney General;

· Non-felons were removed from voter registration rolls based upon unreliable information collected in connection with sweeping, state sponsored felony purge policies;

· Many African Americans did not cast ballots because they were assigned to polling sites that did not have adequate resources to confirm voting eligibility status;

· College students and others submitted voter registration applications on a timely basis to persons and agencies responsible for transmitting the applications to the proper officials, but in many instances these applications were not processed in a timely or proper manner under the National Voter Registration Act (“motor-voter law”);

· Many Jewish and elderly voters received defective and complicated ballots that may have produced “overvotes” and “undervotes;”

· Some polling places were closed early and some polling places were moved without notice;

· Old and defective election equipment was found in poor precincts;

· Many Haitian Americans and Puerto Rican voters were not provided language assistance when required and requested;

· Persons with disabilities faced accessibility difficulties at certain polling sites;

· Too few poll workers were adequately trained and too few funds were committed to voter education activities;

Well, maybe you can go rig the votes next time..why do we care so much about what's in the past? It's so close to election time and we're worrying about the election from 2000...what the heck?

Yessiree, it was a rigged election alright and hatched by the Bush campaign chiefs. I wonder how long it took them to get all that in place in time for the election?

I'd bet a dollar that Jeb was in on it too.

It's not only the election in 2000. It's years and years of voting irregularities. And no reason to believe they won't continue. And contrary to what some may believe, it happens on both sides.

A couple of interesting articles;

Wasn't this Clinton Administration stuff? Get over it!

I've brought this up once before, but I noticed the picture in your sig. . . .go prove he wasn't elected in 2000. Please. Cause, if you could prove it, maybe he'll be able to run in 2008 and we can vote him in for a third term.

Stupifying ignorance.

Perhaps you missed this:

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES

GEORGE W. BUSH, et al., PETITIONERS v.
ALBERT GORE, Jr., et al.
ON WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE FLORIDA SUPREME COURT

Bush is in the White House because of a Court Ruling.

 

[Gary M]

The liberals talking about voting irregularities is unbelievable. What party doesn't want voters to show proof of citizenship and ID themselves when a person registers to vote? Which party doesn't want a person to show a picture ID before they vote? The Democrats that's who. Anyone who knows anything about voting knows why the Democrats don't want this. A recent article in, I believe, the New York News said that 47,000 NYC people are registered to vote in both NYC and Florida. Nearly 70% were registered Democrats and about 15% Republican and the rest independent. These figures are from memory, but I believe close. If you have to show a picture ID to get on a plane, cash a check, etc. why not to vote?

A recent study in Indianapolis showed that nearly 40% of the registered voters in Marion Co.(Indpls) are dead, have moved out of the county or can't be found. The Democratic Party went to court to stop dropping these unknowns from the voting rolls. The judge ruled that the voters could not be purged until after Nov. 2.
If you don't believe that a large number of votes cast are illegal then you are naive. If you are really unaware of how this is done, then I will tell you some true stories.
