Yeah. Kinda like, why is "abbreviate" such a long word? :)

I believe he has done more damage to America than just about anybody else could have. He is a dolt and a stooge and a coward. He is mean-spirited and easily manipulated, and he has made an unbroken series of tragic mistakes that our children's children will still be unravelling fifty years from now.

So......don't ask me to lay off the Bush-bashing. I've laid off as much as I can. I may swing back into motion. American needs to be constantly reminded of the dangers of electing men of his ilk. You guys are "tired" of Bush-bashing because he IS an embarrassment and becuase his record is going to STING the Republican party BADLY in November. You make your bed, you lie in it. As some of you will recall, seven years ago I opined that Dubya will teach American why we don't let Republicans run the government. Dubya is hands-down, BY FAR the worst president in American history.

If I were you guys, I would stop asking folks to accept, or to stop bashing, Dubya. It makes me want to launch a fresh rampage of criticism. He is a COLOSSAL failure. In fact, it would be better if his performance was limited to just a COLOSSAL FAILURE. Sadly, his decisions have been worse than that.

That sums up nicely how I feel.

It has truly been a colossally stupid presidency. The shrub pi__ed away a golden opportunity after 9/11 and has been going from bad to worse ever since.

The only possible good that can come out of this administration now is that people reflect on it, learn from it, and say "never again!"

What is the alternate scenario you are imagining?

I have posted a lot of thoughts on this subject, on a number of other threads here during the last year or two. (The opportunities missed by the Bush Administration following 9/11).

In fact I think that's how my post-count got so high!

Now I'm suffering from "subject fatigue" - and don't have the energy to make all these arguments all over again.

Hope that's OK.

Exactly. It's one of the simpler rules of grammar, actually. How they wrote such a long-winded paragraph about it is funny when one sentence would do. :cool:

. . .for simpltons who don't want no confussioness. :rolleyes: (waiting for "but GW once said...)

Anyway, for the "he/him -who/whom" rule to work, the sentence would have to read with either "he" OR "him." Let's see... "idiots he.... "iditots him... "idiots who have a simple plan for everything will read this real good. --I can see how that works too. Thanks Shaun, Denis; this has been really helpful. :cool:

yer gonna want to put down that shovel.

ironic, isn't it...all the shiny Bush fanboi's who could do no wrong, thought they had it all right, were, in the end, all wrong.

Easy there, big fella...

You made a little mistake, it's OK. We're there for ya...:)
