Bush’s conquest of Earth

A few yarns ago there were some lively threads about GB setting out to be a dictator, The new American Century, blah blah blah.
So what happened?
Sure looks like one of the most polar opposite politicians is about to be elected.

I put this in conspiracy because (I’ve never posted in it before) there was definite suggestion of right wing take over in those old threads

The only thing Bush wants to conquer come next year is his mountain bike and ipod. Anyone who suggests that he wishes to create circumstances that will allow him to stay president has no understanding of the man's personality.

I've never seen anyone so ready to be out of the public eye. He served his eight years, played his role, seeing how his presidency will be viewed as a total and comprehensive failure, he appears happily headed to relative obscurity.

After making some passes at last minute redemption via good causes, yeah.

Gazpacho · 28th June 2008, 04:29 PM

People got carried away with politics, that's what happened.

I don't expect any apologies until next January, if then.

Bush seems to be making some efforts to have a less-than-horrible legacy. He's vetoed a couple of pork-laden bills to appear to be a fiscal conservative. He's pushed a couple of energy bills to appear to be an environmentalist. He's plowed money into
Africa in order to appear to be a globalist.

But historians don't rate an administration by what they did in their dying throes. Bush has a legacy, carved in stone, of being an absolutely horrible president and leader. His "foxhole conversion" won't change that.

Oh you mean what happend to the three big boys in the project New American century?

1. Paul Wolfowitz resigned from the World Bank

2. Donald Rumsfeld resigned as the secretary of defense

3. Lewis "Scooter" Libby was found guilty of perjury. Oh yeah and George W. Bush commuted Libby"s sentence.

So I guess Dick Cheney is the only big guy from that project who still has a job?

Smackety · 28th June 2008, 09:25 PM

Dick Cheney is the only reason BUSH still has a job!

kedo1981 · 29th June 2008, 05:53 AM

There was this whole net buzz a while back "BUSH DICTATOR", and there were some very upset peps out there.
Now a better description would be to substitute "HEAD" for "TATOR"

He did that around 2001 I thought.

You have to admit that is in Bush's favor in terms of preventing assassination or impeachment. Nobody wants a President Cheney.

An oddly realistic appraisal coming from a truther.

Expect no apologies whatsoever for anything from GWB; how can one apologize for things he doesn't even acknowledge he did?

And, what, exactly, did GWB "do"?

The Platypus · 23rd July 2009, 09:38 AM

They have just transfered this pathetic game of delusions to the winner of this last election, now it's Obama that will become world dictator, stay in power, martial law, put us all in camps and blah blah blah...

When I was a pre-9/11 truther, it was Bill Clinton who was going to do all that.

Four or eight years from now, it will be Mitt Romney/Sarah Palin/Joe Biden/whoever.

The names change but the game never does.
