STATE OF THE UNION '08: Bush on Science

[unholyiguana]

Why is this rated low? Bush is right on this one...you fucking libs are political maggots.

[walkermydawg]

It is a back-handed slap at shit for brains because he created all those wonderful faith based bullshit and his imaginary friend up in the sky telling him to start a bullshit war.

Cannot pigeon hol me as a lib. You just have to trust your thinking if your brain is not nailed shut.

[LikableDesi]

I was always consider fairly bright in math and science. When i see kids dropping out of school and cant do basic functions and trig...i know ur country is going down the shithole. It is really sad to watch a country like US who was a hub of intellectuals has elected a person like bush.

[floran98]

It's a persons choice to drop out. No one is forcing them, and you can't force them. Let people who won't do anything about their sorry life be left behind

[georgesm85]

what an idiot bush is..come on guys come on..deep inside you know it

[wrappedhands]

The USA is neither a republic or democracy, it's an oligarchy. The best thing we have to work against the oligarchy is the internet because it's very hard for media to control its content. I think the USA is starting to lean towards socialism. Everytime wealth becomes too excluded from the masses, gov't starts to redistribute it. What was the economic landscape like for Cuba, China, Russia and France before their revolutions? Wealth was excluded from the masses and held by the few oligarchs.

[RushLforPres]

The surge has shown that its working and history will show pres Bush to be one of the greatest Presidents USA has ever had

[8data]

I dont thinx its fair that Bill Clinton had the impeachment on his record and Bush gets off scot-free

I dont thinx either did a good job, but at least Clinton had to live through the indignity of being questioned and on the hot seat

Bush has never had that, i get the sense that he doesnt sweat it

Thats wrong, he should have to sweat it at least once in his life, no what thats lixe, to not xnow what is behind the next corner, to not have the ability to get off without remorse, lac of consciene

[floran98]

Clinton lied under oath, the worst thing you can do in being a powerful man. Bus may have lied and he may not have but he wasn't forced to tell the truth. Nor has he done anything treasonous.

[8data]

Bush is a douche

The only decision this man should have ever have been allowed to maxe is how to tie his shoes

[iwinallarguments29]

What scientific edge? 17 countries graduate more scientists every year than we do.

[floran98]

And how much lower are their standards? Not only that, how intelligent are our most intelligent compared to other countries most intelligent? I think you'll find were higher.

[helIyeah762007]

NO WMDs NO Operational links to al qaeda NO Meetings with Atta NO Nukes NO Bio/Chem weapons labs NO Alum. centrifuge tubes NO Yellow cake purchases Just a motive and a plan (Wolfowitz Doctrine) Just intent to "fix intel around the policy" (Downing St Memo) Just Feith's false intel (Pent. Insp. Gen. Rpt) And more false intel (Sen. PhII Intel Rpt) Just retaliation for the truth (V. Plame/J. Wilson) Just a president who violated his oath and lied to America (articles of impeachment)

[Orphiex]

Blaa Blaa Blaa. Bush Get Off My Bush!!!!

Impeach Bush NOW!!

[jigglypuff3]

sure fund physical science but dont study stem cell research and allow this anti-intellectualism to go on so now we get to sit back spend 3 trillion dollars on a worthless war and watch our economy turn to shit and by the way we have no edge in sciene currently right now we lead 14th in the world for science and math so thank you mister bush and everyone who decided to vote for him...thanks a lot.

[odstderek]

Mr. President, can you spell science?

Of course I can! s-i-g-h-e-n-s. Stupid.

[WeylandYutaniInc]

Bush & Science don't mix!

[ztevo]

where will the money come from monkey? If we didnt go to Iraq that would be ez

[LikableDesi]

well..if u.s doesnt do stem cell research..i am sure other countries are dying to get ahead in this field. Bush wont go to hell but he will for sure leave u.s behind in science and tech.

[Chippen101]

Bush imposed a ban on stem cell research in America AND EU! cost us millions...I don´t know but it sounds completly absurd that my country would think it was okay.

[JoshGood28]

We must trust our dynamic christian scientists to not conduct stem cell research on those precious innocent cells that god has given. Intelligent design for our democratized schoolchildren in IraQ forever! Bush is going to hell for what he has done.

[XaviersSecretary]

(reply to JoshGood28)

'Bust is going to hell for what he has done.'

Bush has actually slapped the hands for those that did embryonic stem cell research, and had pushed for alternate ways to conduct stem cell research.

We've now just come up with the discovery of using just basic SKIN cells and turning them into stem cells; all thanks to Bush who pushed for that type of alternative.

I've read dozens of comments of people condemning Bush to hell; yours needed correction.

[AcePilot101]

America is #1 because of CAPITALISM not in spite of it..you socialist dickheads need a good education, or a stint in the army..lol!

[rams25]

your an idiot

[homesickalienpoet]

What he's not talking about is his traitorous North American Union which operates under the Aegis of the Security and Prosperity Plan. He doesn't want to keep America competitive; he wants to destroy it from the top. He is guilty of HIGH TREASON and countless lies/abuses of power against the American people. That is why he should be impeached!

[mfp508]

The victor writes history.

[kasperthe44]

i keep seeing in these posts that everyone wants bush impeached. i keep seeing "war for profit" and "bill got a bj". you all forget the democrats voted for the war, too. clinton supplied all the wmd intelligence, and was impeached for lying to a federal grand jury about a blowjob, not the offense itself. come on people, you claim to be so smart and have all the answers, act like it.

[IcyKitty]

Some Dems didn't support the war from the beginning. Many were bullied by this Administration to "protect the nation". Those who voted for going back to the UN... , did so under mis-intelligence given to them by the Administration.

And what were Halliburton's and the oil profits last year? Should there be profits during wartime???? How about a little sacrifice for the men and women dying for "freedom"?

[TiJayEve]

Actually, yes. Under normal circumstances there are always profits during war. Wars are actually one of the best ways to stimulate an economy. Now the question is what happened here? We're obviously in an economic downturn. Where is all that money going?

[kasperthe44]

it was clinton, not bush, who made the wmd claim in the first place. look up on youtube where the dems beat the war drum as loud as the republicans.

[homesickalienpoet]

Yes IcyKitty, wars are immensely profitable. Especially when you are an oil baron like Bush. And do you know what made America a superpower in the first place? It was World War II (and to a lesser extent WW I). Good points by Hugashark, too--America is indeed not a democracy but a Republic that uses a democratic process. Its easy to understand why so many people misuse the word, tho--our politicians do it too. The founding fathers sternly warned against democracy--They gave us a REPUBLIC.

[105mm]

eh? WWI devastated the american economy and was a major factor in the cause of the depression.

its because of WWI that america took so long to join in WWII, and probably wouldn't have, were it not for pearl harbour.

[wlgunning]

no dude you got that backwards, ww1 did not cause the great depression, the wall street crash did. you've got a 11 year gap from the ww1 to the crash.

[skankuser]

Yeah, World War I only made it worse for recovery nations like Germany during the depression.

[tommytowne]

you have your history 100% wrong. Your 7th grade history teacher would be ashamed

[vantrifan]

you know you think the war would stop all this economic mess though

[deadsparky]

America is not a democracy. Democracy works, America doesn't.

The Empire is falling. They all fall.

[hugashark]

Do you people even know what democracy is? Hell you don't know what America is. America is a collective of two continents. The United States of America (one nation in the "Americas") is a representative republic (on paper). "To the REPUBLIC for which it stands..." You said it every day of your school life, yet you still say "democracy" every chance you get.

Oh, and democracy doesn't work. It inevitably decays into the mob and is hence termed "mobocracy."

[105mm]

the scary thing is the power vacuum once they do. thankfully my country has sweet fuck all to offer internationally, so we might be clear of any fallout :)

[crawfordmb]

Boo to Bush. Vote Ron Paul.

[crawfordmb]

BOOO TO BUSH,,,I can't for him to get out of the Americans oval office. Vote Ron Paul :)

[mfp508]

America runs the fucking world. You are just food to us. Now we can use barking dogs to keep the sheep in line or would you rather us cut off the food supply. Dynamics? How about a second sun in the sky. Thats fuckin DYNAMIC. Piss off Godzilla? We hang world leaders by their necks and kill their savage sons. Hows that for Dynamic. Global warming? It's gonna get hotter than hell.

[CheeezMaster]

chill dude, your small dick is showing.

[bugsycline]

America the most dynamic nation on earth?

that's a bigger lie than Democracy.

[underdogD]

Bushies don't believe in science... There Neo-Con base continue to dismiss study's on global warming, And we all know that Rush Limp-Ball is the missing link!!!

[idem0n]

how is he still in office? America you need to wake up.

[Raennem]

Yeah, we've woken up. You can't just go impeaching people left and right.

[LeprosyVirus]

Thats only if they get blown by another woman right? I mean sure misleading your own country into a war is just fine.

[boozeisgooddrinkit]

Would it be arbitrary at this point? I mean, what do you have to do to get impeached? Starting a war for profit wasn't enough? Nixon tried to spy on the other team during an election, and Clinton got head at work, but they never killed anyone. Bush makes billions off a war that his political party had him start, and no one thinks an investigation is in order? Where do you draw the line with this sort of thing? I thought murder was a good spot to start, but apparently I'm alone on this one.

[cire85]

Man, you are absolutely right I think an investigation would be the least they can do. If Americans across the country can see through his lies shouldn't the people that can do something about see it too, but then again they're making money right along side of him.

[UNUMIWINUBLUMI]

Impeached? Ha! I'm still amazed he wasn't shot!!

[spinTAP1]

Bush was a decent president the first four years of his presidency, so he was obivously re-elected on account of his previous popularity and the Republican majority of the time. Bush has now made several detrimental mistakes but instead of by his own words cutting and running, he has instead decided to make everyone suffer to save our country's reputation.

All I can say is if we don't get a f*cking democrat in that office for 08 then we will continue to be f*cked over by this type of crap.

[PanamaJack1]

nuculear speech

[xanadu2113]

i dont believe in science

[nomorepropaganda]

"NEVER FOLLOWED THROUGH ON THE FUNDING!!" Ya, cuz our kids and grandkids already owe billions for funding Halliburton...eh, I mean the war....eh I mean the soldiers.

[fashgurl]

Where's his sciences? Where's his education?

[PizzaGod]

wow, he barely said that without flubbing it up. He must have been practicing.

Someone please point to where in the Constitution our Federal government can give money to private companies to profit from there inventions.

[Smith81889]

Where in the constitution is it forbidden?

[PizzaGod]

10th Amendment - anything not covered in the constitution is to be handled by the states.

[dimsum411]
