Overcame an addiction through faith and personal conviction demonstrating true strength of character. Few people ever domonstrate this level of self control during their lifetime.
2) Failed businessman (Arbusto Energy)
Fellow business owners during this period of oil field bust credit Bush with keeping his business alive and the people working for him employed two years longer than conditions in the area would warrant. It is a testament to his strong business savvy.
3) Got daddy to get him into the weekend warrior Air national guard where he went AWOL
Daddy had nothing to do with it. He volunteered for two years of continuous service which moved him instantly to the top of the list. It was necessary for pilot training. He wanted to be a pilot and that was the most direct route. Released Military records and eyewitness accounts have demonstrated he fulfilled his military commitment completely. Incidentally, the F102 Delta Dagger which Bush flew was one of the most dangerous planes to fly at that time. Nearly 10% of the total planes in commission were involved in fatal crashes. Perhaps not as dangerous as an infantry position in Viet Nam, but hardly a safe cushy position.
4) Again, daddy got him his position as governor where he had one of the worst records in history
Spearheaded education reform, including significant raises in teacher salaries; major tax reform, business reform, tort reform, large budget surpluses, reelected by an overwhelming majority, all state wide offices held by Republicans in what had been a traditionally Democrat state. Damn, a lot of people would love to have a "terrible" record like that.
5) He rode to the presidency on daddy's shoulders where he couldn't even win that right. Stole election via the Supreme court, overriding the tradition of federalism and states rights.
The ballots were counted three times by the state of Florida and by six different media consortiums. Perhaps you would like to tell us which one of those counts Gore won, because I never heard of one reported in the news.
Your hatred of Bush has made you either willfully remain ignorant or willfully attempt to deceive people. Whichever the case, why should people pay any attention to anything else you say when you have demonstrated such a lack of personal integrity?
