Bush - Bad for the Country

[Michaelangelica]

Is Bush responsible for this?

Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 500 employees and has the following statistics:

* 29 have been accused of spousal abuse
* 7 have been arrested for fraud
* 19 have been accused of writing bad checks
* 117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses
* 3 have done time for assault
* 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
* 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
* 8 have been arrested for shoplifting
* 21 are currently defendants in lawsuits
* 84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year

Can you guess which organization this is?

Give up yet?



It's the 535 members of the United States Congress.


Be afraid. Be very afraid.

You mean like these guys? Tim LaHaye is one of them.

The facists nowadays are not identified by their jack-boots, but by their crescents and crosses.

So is that 373 separate people, or do the offenses overlap? Anybody batting 1.000?

Hmmm... I doubt it is 373 seperate people. The chances of that seem very slim to me. Usually if you have done one thing illegal, you are going to do more. Also, some of those offenses could possibly go together (eg: writing bad checks and fraud).
I would also like to see the demographical breakup for those Congress members:
*House of Reps. v. Senate
*Democrat v. Republican
*Race v. Race
*Male v. Female

Those would be some pretty interesting statistics to compliment the offenses.

I want to vote for the guy who's done all of them.

At least I can say he values thoroughness.

Hahahhahaha!
I don't know.... He/she may be thorough, but I am not sure they are the person who is going to most positively affect our nation!

Heres more examples of Bush doing whatever the hell he wants!

WASHINGTON - The Bush administration will have to explain why it thinks it can ignore or overrule laws passed by Congress in a hearing next week, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter said Wednesday.

Specter, a Pennsylvania Republican, said he hoped to force the Bush administration to reduce its use of "signing statements" -- memos that reserve the right to ignore laws if the president thinks they impinge on his authority.
....
Bush has signed at least 750 such memos since taking office in 2001, according to the Boston Globe, more than previous presidential administrations combined.

Bush has used signing statements to signal that he might bypass a ban on the torture of U.S.-held prisoners and ignore new provisions in an anti-terrorism law that call for increased congressional oversight.
