(Edited...) some more facts about Bush?

President George W. Bush: Received a Bachelors
Degree from Yale University and an MBA from Harvard
Business School. He served as an F-102 pilot for the
Texas Air National Guard. He began his career in the
oil and gas business in Midland in 1975 and worked
in the energy industry until 1986. He was elected
Governor on November 8, 1994, with 53.5 percent of
the vote. In a historic reelection victory, he
became the first Texas Governor to be elected to
consecutive four-year terms on November 3, 1998,
winning 68.6 percent of the vote. In 1998 Governor
Bush won 49 percent of the Hispanic vote, 27 percent
of the African-American vote, 27 percent of
Democrats and 65 percent of women. He won more Texas
counties, 240 of 254, than any modern Republican
other that Richard Nixon in 1972 and is the first
Republican gubernatorial candidate to win the
heavily Hispanic and Democratic border counties of
El Paso, Cameron and Hidalgo. (Someone began
circulating a false story about his I.Q. being lower
than any other President. If you believed it, you
might want to go to URBANLEGENDS.COM and see the
truth.)

Mod. Edit: Please do us all a favor and leave personal antagonizations and flames out of your posts in the future, The Outspoken. Thank you.

The point is, why would one want to be removed from the Human Rights Commission? Answer me on that one!

In the future, do me a favor and post about the topic and not about the posters. If you're not going to refute the facts, then don't bother posting a criticism.

I would like to see sources on this stuff. This is a nice piece of propaganda but as we all know, propaganda always has an agenda. So how about it, where did this come from?

[smartass]What? Propaganda has an agenda!? Oh gosh, what a shocking discovery. All these years I, a silly commie bastard that I am, have been walking in the dark, believing that propaganda is just facts manipulated randomly, but now I know that it all has an agenda...[/smartass]

Anyway, for all you neoKKKons, or any other who doubt this "resume", here's a link to several links which prove that the resume is somewhat accurate:

But....it's Bush!

As neither a conservative or liberal, I can tell you I supported Bush then as now for one simple reason: The alternative is scarier. I mean the most sane opposition is Liberman, and that guy is nearly undead.

But I suppose not wanting your country in the hands of someone even worse makes you some colorful name with three Ks in it.

But I find the interest sweet. People from countries that we can't pronounce with ideologies they can't defend actually feel it's important to know about our country.

We must be important.

p.s. Start at page 11 for the point-by-point rebuttal, but it all has some good facts that some should learn.
obfuscation For instance Harken Energy Corporation is the name of Dad's buddies company that bailed out Jr's company which was named in Spanish as little bush (off the top of my head Arbrusto or something along similar). This source isn't worth my going back into my files to besmirch. :knife:

Yeah, I could see how refuting 45 pages of well thought out, backed up response would be hard.

But of course YOUR source was entirely unimpeachable.
