I think the great George W Bush got it right when he said:-

"If you find a person you've never seen before getting in a crop duster that doesn't belong to you ... report it."

Wise words indeed - take heed

Yeah but he also said "t's a myth to think I don't know what's going on. It's a myth to think that I'm not aware that there's opinions that don't agree with mine, because I'm fully aware of that." —George W. Bush, Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 12, 2005

But the best one has to be
"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." —Washington, D.C., Aug. 5, 2004
Never a truer word been spoken by a bigger idiot.

Sorry to hear that mate. Hope you are up and running again soon.
The trouble with this kind of Threads is that they turn ugly quite soon, politic, religion or whatever always starts to produce some stink on a forum. :swordfigh :D

Let us rejoice under the rule of idiocy. Tony Blair isn't too much better in my opinion, but neither are any of the parties us UK folk have to choose from, its just picking the best from a bunch of weirdos. :)

If there's one thing you can rely on with Bush, it's a never-ending flow of hilarous quotes. Dead Ringers will never be out of a job when he's in power.

At the start of a new political term, we feel confident in the leader that we elect, he/she is finally a good politian here to save the day. Give it two years and we turn on them like savages and expose all their faults. I fail to see anywhere in the news where the government is praised for what they achieve, which, in my eyes, is striving for social welfare under an essentially anti-social capitalist market system.

I agree that seemingly every political body anywhere has its shortcomings, and the democratic system is in places fundamentally flawed, but would a "normal" person who would be considered a "good" leader ever look good when we attack them so? After all, they're only human.

[edit] Some bush quotes google provided:

George W. Bush said:
  • "I think there were some differences, there's no question, and will still be. We're talking about a major, major situation here that requires constant work. But it was well worth it and there's much more to it than just this - I mean just these sixteen accomplishments or whatever: I mean, we've got a major rapport - relationship of economics, major in the security, and all of that, we should not lose sight of." --1/10/92 to reporters, on his trip to Japan
  • "Please don't look at the part of the glass that is only half full." --11/6/91
  • "No you're not going to see me stay put... I am not going to forsake my responsibilities. You may not see me put as much - I mean, un-put as much" --11/8/91
  • "You cannot be president of the United States of you don't have faith. Remember Lincoln, going to his knees in times of trial and the Civil War and all that stuff. You can't be. And we are blessed. So don't feel sorry for - don't cry for me, Argentina." --1/15/92
  • "I think I've got to do better in making clear what the message is, and I think I can do better. But I think there's so much noise out there that I've got to figure out how to make it clearer that we are for the things that I have advocated that would help." --2/18/91
  • "Your dedication and tireless work with the hostage thing, with Central America, really give me cause for great pride in you and thanks. Get some turkey, George Bush." -- Vice President George Bush in a written expression of gratitude to Oliver North, circa Thanksgiving 1985. Read by North during his interview with Ted Koppel on "Nightline," 10/22/91
  • "I don't want to just sit here blaming Congress. I mean, we're all in this together." --President Bush, 11/20/91 to news anchor Bill Stuart of KCNC-TV, Denver.

    "I think the Congress should be blamed." --several minutes later, to Warner Saunders of WMAQ-TV, Chicago.
  • "If a frog had wings, he wouldn't hit his tail on the ground. 'If.' Too hypothetical."
  • "And let me say in conclusion, thanks for the kids. I learned an awful lot about bathtub toys - about how to work the telephone. One guy knows - several of them know their own phone numbers - preparation to go to the dentist. A lot of things I'd forgotten. So it's been a good day." -- January 21, at a Head Start center in Catonsville, Maryland
  • "The guy over there at Pease - a woman actually - she said something about a country-western song about the train, a light at the end of the tunnel... I only hope it's not a train coming the other way. Well, I said to her, well, I'm a country music fan. I love it, always have. Doesn't fit the mold of some of the columnists, I might add, but nevertheless - of what they think I ought to fit in, but I love it. You should have been with me at the c.m.a. awards at Nashville. But nevertheless, I said to them there's another one that the Nitty Ditty Nitty Gritty Great Bird - and it says if you want to see a rainbow you've got to stand a little rain. We've had a little rain. New Hampshire has had too much rain."
  • "And so I do understand New Hampshire because I have this wonderfully warm feeling that New Hampshire feels exactly the way we do on these questions of family values and faith. Somebody said to me, we prayed for you over there. That was not just because I threw up on the Prime Minister of Japan, either. Where was he when I needed him? I said, let me tell you something. And I say this - I don't know whether any ministers from the episcopal church are here - I hope so. But I said to him this: You're on to something here. You cannot be President of the United States if you don't have faith. It's been great. I'll go back to Washington all fired up for tomorrow and tackle the President or the Prime Minister of this or the Governor of that coming in. But I'll have this heartbeat..."
  • "You're burning up time. The meter is running through the sand on you and I am now fillibustering."
  • "I see this glass not half-empty, but half-full and more."
  • "Ours is a great state, and we don't like limits of any kind. Ricky Clunn is one of the great bass fishermen. He's a Texas young guy, and he's a very competitive fisherman, and he talked about learning to fish wading in the creeks behind his dad. He in his underwear went wading in the creeks behind his father, and he said - as a fisherman he said it's great to grow up in a country with no limits..."
  • "Somebody - somebody asked me, what's it take to win? I said to them, I can't remember, what does it take to win the Super Bowl? Or maybe Steinbrenner, my friend George, will tell us what it takes for the Yanks to win - one run. But I went over to the Strawberry Festival this morning, and ate a piece of shortcake over there - able to enjoy it right away, and once I completed it, it didn't have to be approved by Congress - I just went ahead and ate it - and that leads me into what I want to talk to you about today..." --March 4, at a fund-raising lunch in Tampa, Florida

I'm not trying to be rude, but I can't find that rule in the rules and regulations thread. If it is a rule then I think it should be made clearer, I certainly wasn't aware of it myself, although I seem to dimly remember some talk about politics.
