No I do not drive on the few occasions when I drink. Bush was arrested twice for DWI and was most likely using drugs when he refused to take the required physical while in the National Guard. However as Barbara Bush said when questioned about the DWI citations for little George—NO BIG DEAL was her answer. That was only because GWB did not injure or kill someone when he was driving drunk. I wonder how many other times he was driving drunk and was not caught?

So what are you saying Col? Your Mr Perfect? You never did something you never should have? You never broke a law in your life? I drove for a year and a half with a suspended license, no registration and no insurance. I was a jerk back then, that doesn't brand me a jerf for the rest of my life. I was caught and went to jail for 6 hours. My brother had to pay my bail and i've never done anything like this ever since. Does this make me a criminal? So I broke a few laws, I paid the price for it, done deal, I've never done it again. You act as if every other President never broke any laws, as if they were all perfect except for Bush. So he drove drunk and got caught, when was the last time you heard him do that? Has he done it during his Presidency? Stop being so ignorant Col, people make mistakes all the time, some more stupid than others, that doesn't always mean they are bad people.

Saddam has been killing his own people by the thousands, North Korean leaders don't care about their people, Africans are being killed, abused, sexually assulted, hungry, the Iranian President screamed death to all Jews; I have yet to see you tell the truth or complain about any of them.

Here's a little lecture so you can learn the meaning of the words Truth and Opinion to see if the title of your blogg really reflects what you do in your articles:

Truth: a fact that has been verified; "at last he knew the truth"; "the truth is that he didn't want to do it".WWW Link">Link

Opinion: a personal belief or judgment that is not founded on proof or certainty; "my opinion differs from yours"; "what are your thoughts on Haiti?"Link


You constantly claim that you get your stories from the opinions of other people. Opinions are not facts and there for not truth. While many of your sources are legit, today they say one things, tomorrow they say another. This has been proven time and time again by many people here who have quoted from the same sources you claim to quote from.

This blogg and all your article are not about Bush Truth, they are about Bush Opinions. All you show is what you think about Bush according to a story, a poll, a comment or a book you read. No one on this site has yet to give any legit proof to impeach Bush, hell even the Dems in Congress can't do it, cause there is none, but you all scream it anyways. All those who claimed Bush attacked Iraq for no reason where the same ones who said Saddam was a threat, Saddam had WMD, Saddam must go and they agreed to the war. Changing you mind after the fact does not change the fact that you agreed in the first place. If Bush was lying about the Intel, Congress and the Senate should have done their home work before agreeing. Who's more foolish, the fool or the fool that follows? (words of the great Obi Wan Kenobi).

You should learn the meaning of words before you go about on your quest to prove tehm. You should also learn to spell, or at the least use a spell checker. Oh and do work on being more objective when posting. Even I have agreed with you from time to time, you on the other hand wouldn't give in if proof was physically mailed to you and delivered by God himself.

There was NO FEE or any other benefit. Others who have read my book have expressed a similar opinion. No matter what is presented there are idiots on this Blog site that reject anything that documents how their president has screwed up at EVERYTHING!

Funny thing, I've looked around the net. I've seen few reviews. Not ONLY that, but your book seems to be selling like Martha Stewart's prison story. ( )

Anywho..Col, or whoever you are...try something different than Bush bashing. It might just earn you credibility, and some respect. Capiche?

The part that he neglected to mention on this reply was that there was only 1 review and that single review gave him a 5 star which with no other review to compare to makes it look like the best thing on the site. Of course he also failed to mention the 30 new and used copies of this book that others are trying to get rid of. Just look at some of the descriptions of these ads:

New Comments: Brand New. This Title is dispatched from the UK by Royal Mail Airmail, delivery is usually 5 - 8 working days from order.

They even trying to get rid of it n the UK. But here is my fav one:

Used - Like New Comments: Perfect Condition! Book Has Never Been Used.

Has never been used? LOL, it did even work to keep the couch straight. Your book is a joke Col, the same site you pointed to with you "only" review, did more damage than good. And I say "only" because I searched high and low and could not find any other place where they spoke about your book. hell, even Micheal Moore did better than you when he allowed his movie to be downloaded off the internet for free. Remember my comment about free info to you?

Just keep dream, it's not illegal in the US and Bush can never take that from you anyways, right?

Col jihad is losing it.

Col jihad is losing it.

Losing it? I thought he had already lost it.

So how do you address your objectivity issue? You can not claim to be objective when you only see one side.

Objectivity speaks of your credibility. I don't care if you hung the moon.

No I do not drive on the few occasions when I drink.

That was precisely my point! You said:

I was not arrested for driving drunk

From a less than objective point of view that means I was never caught driving drunk. I find it highly unlikely that you took the words (spoken or written) from your sources to the intended meaning. I find it more likely that you saw I was not arrested for driving drunk to mean you were never caught.

I have reported the results of the past 5.5 years accurately in my book. It is true that many of those results would be seen by most people as negative when judging the performance of Bush and the GOP Congress. For Example:

Turning a balanced budget to as high as a $600 Billion per year deficit is not positive.

Taking the National Debt from $5.7 Trillion to $8.5Trillion and heading toward $10 Trillion by the end of the Bush Term is a disaster.

The continued increase in the trade deficit after expanding a policy that did not work for 8 years under Clinton is not good for the U.S.

There are a lot of children being left behind by the Bush Education policies.

We are MORE not less dependent on foreign oil and the cost to heat our homes and drive our cars is much higher then when Bush took over which hurts MOST Americans.

The Border is not protected and we still are not inspecting over 90% of the containers coming into our ports.

The 16 Intelligence agencies have concluded the Iraq War; the central focus of the Bush security policy, is making us LESS not MORE safe.

Over 2,700 Lives and 20,000 injuries plus ½ Trillion dollars spent in Iraq with the violence getting worse EVERY DAY.

Afghanistan is returning to the same danger as just before 9/11 and the man responsible for 9/11 is free.

The great danger of North Korea and Iran obtaining nuclear weapons is worse then ever despite the Tough talk by our President.

There is more discord in America then when Bush took office who pledged to reduce that discord.

The World opinion of our President and the U S in general is at an ALL TIME LOW.

The Average Worker has LESS money to spend after inflation then in 2001.

The continued outsourcing of our jobs.

An increase of about 2 Million Americans without health care since Jan 2001.

The way Bush and the Fed dealt with Katrina and the lack of rebuilding the Gulf is clear.

These are the things that have taken place since January 2001. I have documented these changes by sources that can not be disputed. If you believe, as most people looking at those changes, that our policies are not helping our country then you are not very pleased with GWB and the GOP leadership in Congress.

And you know col we have debunked most of the claims because you see it all one-sided. You don't take in account anything, but "it's Bushs fault". You look at nothing else except that.

Pathetic.

No you have not. My information about how the economy and the fiscal issues exist is from U.S. Government agencies that I sight. My military issues come from the MOST senior U.S. Commanders. You have NOT refuted ANY of the data in my book and since you most likely have not read my book your claims about what is contained in my book are absurd and ridiculous. It just shows how out to lunch you are with your meaningless comments.

Here is some more GOOD news:

Trade Deficit Hits New Record High
By MARTIN CRUTSINGER (AP Economics Writer)
From Associated Press
October 12, 2006 7:39 AM EDT
WASHINGTON - America's trade deficit hit an all-time high as record imports of oil swamped a solid gain in U.S. exports. The politically sensitive deficit with China set a record, a point that Democrats are sure to use in attacking President Bush's trade policies in the closing weeks of the battle for Congress.

The deficit rose to $69.9 billion in August, up 2.7 percent from July's $68 billion deficit, which had also been a record. The sharp deterioration in the deficit in recent months has occurred because soaring global oil prices have pushed America's foreign oil bill to historic highs.

Analysts believe the deficit will begin to show improvements in coming months, reflecting the fact that oil prices, which had surged to $77 per barrel in July, have fallen by about 25 percent since that time.

In a second report, the number of newly laid off workers filing for unemployment benefits rose by 4,000 last week to a seasonally adjusted total of 308,000.

The widening trade gap occurred even though U.S. exports of goods and services set a record, rising by 2.3 percent to $122.4 billion. This increase, however, was offset by a 2.4 percent rise in imports, which also set a record at $192.3 billion.

The trade deficit is on track to set a record for a fifth consecutive year, running at an annual rate through August of $784.2 billion, 9.4 percent higher than last year's $716.7 billion record.

Democrats, campaigning to wrest control of Congress from the Republicans, contend that the string of record deficits documents failures of Bush administration trade policies that they contend have not addressed unfair trade practices by other nations, particularly China.

Oh, right, you cowardly lump of crap! Kim Yung Il had no plans to get Nukes until March of 2003. It had nothing to do with Clinton authorizing the sale of nuclear material to him right?

You putrid bit of entrails, it isn't up to Bush or any other US president, the useless UN has a ceasefire agreement with N. Korea, and should be enforcing it. But like you Kofi Annan would rather be a waste of human flesh than actually do anything about it.

Other than that, why should we base our foreign policy on fear of what others are doing. Oooooh, better not enforce the ceasefire of 91, Kim Yung Il might not like it! Oooooh, better just let the terrorists kill Americans at will, fighting back will just piss them off!

Now, leave those little boys alone and quit being a wimpering coward for once in your life!


::::: THis is me, vomiting in your pathetic, whiney face ::::

Parated2k

You are an ASS that does not warrent a response!

Col jihad, you are hillarious. You have totally ignored all the GOOD NEWS about the economy that is posted. Tell me right now you are not one-sided. You don't take an objective look at anything col, just "it's Bushs fault". Nothing else matters. How pathetic.

Why don't you tell us what democrats will do col? Nobody still can't tell us what the democrats plan for North Korea is. All you guys are is a bunch of crybabies who don't have any plans for anything but blaming Bush.

You have NOT refuted ANY of the data in my book and since you most likely have not read my book your claims about what is contained in my book are absurd and ridiculous.

This shows you are truely in another world. Myself and many others here have shown claims in your book, just like your blogs, are exaggerated, false, and one-sided.

Get help for your addiction.

Example of the hypocrisy of col jihad.

The dow drops 60 points and col claims the economy is terrible because of that drop. However, he never posted when news like this comes out.

"Stocks were climbing at the open Thursday amid a series of upbeat corporate earnings, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average continued to rewrite the record book with a new all-time intraday high.

The Dow was recently gaining 40 points at 11,892, but it briefly went above 11,900 for the first time ever. The S&P 500 was rising 5 points to 1355, and the Nasdaq Composite was higher by 14 points at 2322."

YOU ARE A DEFEATIST LIBERAL! The only news that makes you happy is bad news.

I'm not going to run down your list point for point but I'm going to show you the other side of the view on a couple of these points. I'm not trying to rewrite history or debunk your views. I simply want to point out that a hindsight view is different depending on your perspective.

There are a lot of children being left behind by the Bush Education policies.

I see kids in my area going beyond what I could have imagined. This change because of the continued programs offered by their school.

The great danger of North Korea and Iran obtaining nuclear weapons is worse then ever despite the Tough talk by our President.

I see this as a failure in diplomacy by President Clinton. I don't believe that GW has done enough. I don't see where he made it worse by inaction though.

The way Bush and the Fed dealt with Katrina and the lack of rebuilding the Gulf is clear.

This is one of those that when I see what you write I frankly wish you would pull your head from your ass and then I remember you don't live here. Katrina would have been a non issue if the levees wouldn't have broke. There would have been a handful of deaths and some property damage but that would have been the sum of it. The levees broke because of backwoods, good ol' boy Louisiana politics. New Orleans had a separate levee board than the rest of the state.

The rebuilding effort has nothing to do with the feds. The much touted Road Home Program has had 13 billion for over six months now and they have made payments to 13 of almost 137,000 eligible families. They had more than a year now to plan for the disbursement of this money. Mississippi doesn't seem to have any problem getting money to their folks. In Louisiana we have to make sure there is enough red tape to siphon off at least 1/3 of that money. Case in point is the Governor's blatant self promotion in this program. It's federal money but she is spending almost 3 million of it telling people about Governor Blanco's road home program.

All of that to say, it's about perspective. We know where your perspective lies. I just think it's sad that you walk around pretending that the things that don't fit your agenda never happened.

This is the problem with your Economic Good News:

The latest poll about what Americans think of the way Bush is handling the economy continue to show 60% do not approve of the way Bush is handling the economy.

This morning on MSNBC was a discussion of why the record high stock market, higher corporate profits, higher tax collections and lower gas has prices have not been reflected in the way Americans think Bush is handling the economy.

Here is WHY. As to the stock market, 80% of the stocks are owned by 10% of Americans. Even though about ½ of Americans own stock, most of the middle income Americans own stock only in their retirement accounts. Thus increases in the market may show in higher retirement account balance but that does NOTHING to help them pay their bills. Only the top 10% derive any significant amount of income that they can spend from their Stock market Profits.

As to higher corporate profits and larger tax collections they too do not enable the vast majority to pay their monthly bills. When the poor and most of the middle income Americans hear the President and his other officials telling them how great the economy is and they have either no more or less money to meet their ever increasing bills they do not see how this “Great Economic News” Bush tells them about is possible. The truth is that for all but the top 10% the goods news means NOTHING.

Even the lower gas prices have not offset other increases and in comparison to gas prices two or even one year ago they are high.

I decided to look at my situation. I am a very typical retired American and had no changes in my spending patterns. I first took a look at my income. My Social Security and Military pensions went up but so did my Medicare premium which impacted my Social Security Increase. Bottom line I saw a $600 increase in my retired income.

I looked at my expenses that showed a significant increase. My Homeowners and Flood Insurance premiums went up OVER $600. Thus before I looked at anything else I was at break even. When I looked at the increase in gas prices on the 12,000 I drove last year I saw another $400 in gas cost. My energy cost jumped about 35% or about $400 and food prices were up about 4% which was another $300. The bottom line—I had a LOSS in REAL income of $1,100 without looking at all the smaller things that went up in price.

I do not point this out for any sympathy but to show WHY all the so called “GOOD ECONOMIC” news is not being received well in America. What Bush does not get is that you can not talk someone into having more money to spend. At the end of EACH month the Americans KNOW if they are better off or not. Although the data Bush uses is accurate, it does not translate into a better life for ANY of the POOR and not for the majority of Middle Income America. Do not be surprised in the future when the polls do not give Bush credit for the economy. If you were to poll only the top 20% the results would be positive but when you ask everyone the answer is just the opposite!
