The sad part is that significant minority who accept every word as truth.

“The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, mmm, yes he was”
ROFL, LOL, :))
it never ceases to amaze me how unquestioningly support this guy — it’s as if they think he is god.
i have many serious disagreements with the gw’s policies but i actually agree with him on a lot of topics.
gw supporters never waver, ever — it’s kinda spooky, they’re sorta like zombies.

It’s a depressing example of the world’s perception of American culture and politics. Even though it’s true.
Here we are with an article like this – from a conservative newspaper owned by Rupert Murdoch.
I’m sorry….but ANYONE that believes in invisible people that magically make good and bad things happen (i.e. Christians, Catholics, Jews, Muslims, etc, etc.) is as much a dumbass as “Dumbya”.
Religion is crack for the weak minded of this planet.
Here we go … everyone don your asbestos underwear.
And what’s really sad is that the Democrats couldn’t even nominate someone who could beat this loser. It should have been a shoo-in, but no, the Democrats had to nominate Kerry…
“God would tell me, ‘George go and fight these terrorists in Afghanistan’. And I did. And then God would tell me ‘George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq’. And I did.”
– I think George misunderstood God’s instructions. God said “George go and fight these terrorists”. Instead, George sent a bunch of other guys to fight these terrorists.
God said “George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq”. Instead, George sent another bunch of guys to Iraq.
If God really did speak to George, he should have announced that he’s quitting his job, then caught the next plane to Kabul to get Osama (or Obama, he always gets those two mixed up.)
Wow. I didn’t know he was on a first name basis with God. Maybe he even has one of those catchy nick names for God like he did with “Brownie”.
Never mind the unnerving degree of superstition displayed by Bush’s so-called faith… These quotes also serve as pretty good examples of just how sub-literate this President is.
What we really need in times like these when we’re in environmental and political crisis is a guy that won’t even take responsibility for his own actions, but will pawn them off on a mythical creature that we can’t impeach. That’s the way to deal with crisis.

I guess if Nokia can produce 46 million defective batteries, it’s not surprising that the US could produce 78 million (300MM * 28% approval rating) mentally defective imbeciles who would believe Dumbya. I doubt they believe every word he says is truth, though. Who can even tell what the fuck he’s trying to say half the time?
#12 – Who can even tell what the fuck he’s trying to say half the time?
Exactly!
The Bush Presidency answers a question that I had wondered about since 1989… What would happen if Dan Quayle were to become President?
Now we know.
God talks to Bush Jr.? Damn, that coke he’s snorting is good!
#7 – That’s pretty funny
The 2004 election was so disturbing to me because I thought it was very clear someone could have done a better job than Bush, but yet John Kerry seemed like a “built to lose candidate”. Had a very bizarre wife with her beads and crystals and he never quite played to win nor made it particularly clear what he would do as president.
The 2008 election I think will be more interesting than most people expect. Hillary looks increasingly difficult to imagine winning, Obama does not really possess the right amount of experience and Edwards is equally impaired on the experience front.
“Regime change” keeps the government clean. McCain is too old (and too weird), Giuliani has way too many skeletons (corruption, ethics issues, honesty issues) in the closet so it appears the default candidate for that party is Mitt Romney, who is someone rather likeable with a positive attitude with moderate positions on most issues.
Hmmm…
I’ve come to realize that we simply can’t find any workable way to prevent the mouth-breathing, superstitious sheeple from voting, so it’s either tolerate it or go somewhere where they aren’t. And I’m not gonna tolerate it any longer than I have to.
#16 – “I’ve come to realize that we simply can’t find any workable way to prevent the mouth-breathing, superstitious sheeple from voting”
Oh come on. You know to me the most amazing thing is that hate, anger, cynicism repel a lot of people and energize the “opposition”.
Almost every election, the side with the more toxic attitude lost. 2004 Kerry lost, 2000 was sort of a toss-up but after the election it was widely understood that Gore could have easily won if he had not been so irrationally cynical towards the 2nd Amendment crowd.
In 1998, a year that should have been a banner year for Republicans based on election trends, they were handed a solid defeat because it was clear they were opportunistically trying to take political advantage of the Lewinski issue.
Bill Clinton didn’t win on a negativist agenda. To me it seems like there is a lot of negativism and that simply does not win elections or anything else.
Politics is like sales, it is about convincing others of your position and agenda and negative attitudes alienate a lot of people from listening by default.
I have to agree with #17
The democrats couldn’t get half of their constituents out to vote — voter machine fraud may have even been rampant, but if only 2% more democrats had voted up in ’00, GW would surely have lost.
Clearly the democratic party needs to get a candidate that manage to keep his feet out of his mouth.
I don’t like Bush, but this link is a cheap shot. All candidates invoke God all the time. It is a sad truth that most Americans would never vote for or even consider voting for an atheist. I fail to see any difference between these quotes and any of the other candidates. They will say anything to get elected including saying God is on their side.
Bush sounds more like an evangelist than a president. If there was a God and he really talked to Bush, he would tell him to commit hara-kiri for the way he’s screwed this country.
#2 – grog – gw supporters never waver, ever
Stay the course! 😉
#5 – God is dead
Not many people here who would argue with you.
#19 – jz – I fail to see any difference between these quotes and any of the other candidates.
Perhaps the dedication to God is the difference?!
>>All candidates invoke God all the time.
But none do it in quite the inimitable way of Dumbya, talking about what God whispered in their ear, first-name basis and all.
Churchill and JFK invoked God during their terms in office, but try and find a web site with fifty quotes, made-to-order for Jay Leno or Letterman, where they’re gibbering on like chimpanzees, trying to justify their mistakes after the fact on the basis of fireside chats with God.
Do you suppose God told him “nookyular” and “subliminible” were the correct pronunciation of those words?
Anyone care to explain the difference between a ‘significant minority’ and a ‘majority’, especially when the former brings more people to the polls?
#4…god….since your god, I would have expected you to understand that Murdoch is a businessman and the newspapers he owns are businesses. The Times of London is one of the oldest and still most respected papers on the planet, while it’s editorials are usually more conservative, the rest of the paper is a free for all. Some of the best liberal and conservative writers in the world contribute on a regular basis to the paper…..and, this is something that NO newspaper in this country has the balls to do anymore……the Times *****is an investigative**** newspaper. They have broke (under Murdoch) almost every important scandle in the UK for the last 15 years, they have been in the forefront of fighting for freedom of information in the courts in the UK…….so learn before you leap god.
Is this article a surprise to anyone here?? Was there some form of doubt that this guy believes this?? Does anyone still care??
In 18 months, there will be a new President of the U.S…..Bush will be gone and I will be so wealthy it will be unreal…..how you ask?……well, I’m opening a chain of therapy shops across the country(especially in blue states) that will help the 33.2% of the public who still like Bush to cope with the fact he isn’t President anymore and that will help the 66.8% of those who will be suffereing from Post-Bush depression when they realize that Bush is gone, but nothing has changed, just the little letter (D or R) behind the new guys/girls name. 🙂
#25….oh…I forgot….I also will be selling names of possible new scapegoats for all the rabid anti-Bush crowd and family counseling, since when you can’t vent your spleen against the POTUS Bush anymore, you’ll turn on your family’s next, then possibly even other Democrats and semi-liberals…….. 🙂
It’s pretty obvious from the posts here that the absence of belief in God has not led to hearts filled with love and respect for their fellow man.
#26 “It’s pretty obvious from the posts here that the absence of belief in God has not led to hearts filled with love and respect for their fellow man.”
I probably have as much love and respect for my fellow man as anyone who is knee deep in religion. Well, probably MUCH more since people who are knee deep in religion tend to hate anyone who is not part of their religion.
If I am anything I’m anti stupidity and and definitely Anti-I_need_to_believe_in_invisible_people_to_make_it_through_ life_religous_types. I can sit and have a beer with anyone as long as you don’t try and convert me to be as weak willed as yourself.
#26 – RSweeney – It’s pretty obvious from the posts here that the absence of belief in God has not led to hearts filled with love and respect for their fellow man.
Religion has been behind most of the killing on this planet, so please spare us the BS.
>>I can sit and have a beer with anyone as long as you don’t try
>>and convert me to be as weak willed as yourself.
So can I, Mr. Dead. I just wish the holy (and anti-holy) rollers on both sides would settle down and come to the same realization.
