I've been reading a few articles lately and even heard some members on here quote GWB as saying "Don't throw the Constitution in my face, it's just a Goddamned piece of paper". Is this correct, did he really say that?
|

I very highly doubt it. I have seen no credible proof whatsoever that he said anything of the sort, just something from a couple of near-socialist newsmagazines that most certainly have an agenda to further. Something like that would be carried in every major news outlet in the world.
|
|
I doubt that a man who derives all of his authority from "that piece of paper" would treat it with that much disrespect.
|
|
Googling that phrase gathers a list of every left blog/news site on the Internet.
Zero on Snopes that I could find. |
|
I heard from a very reliable source that GW advocates taking candy from children & hurting little puppies.

Heard about it, but no real proof. I dont think someone is his postion would say that.
|
|
Here, I found something.....the editor of the Capitol Hill Blue paper wrote a story on this last week. So far that's all I found.
|
|
actually, with this new and improved UNconstitutional PATRIOT ACT trying to pass and all of the restistance to it, I almost wouldn't doubt that he might have lost it for a few seconds and said that. But I wasn't there and don't know.
|
|
As I understand it, the alleged quote originally appeared in an online publication called Capitol Hill Blue.
Capitol Hill Blue = might as well be written on the side of a train |
|
George Bush wrote it on the side of a train? What a fucker! |
|
|
Well, I heard Dan Rather says it may have not actually been spoken by him, but it could have been, and that makes it fully credible. Mary Mapes was said to fully concur. |

Bush is not the Texan that we all want/ see him to be. He has a political agenda, because - he is into that politics fad...
Did he say that? Maybe, maybe not. The question I pose: is it possible he said that? Yes, the mouse in my pocket and I, both agree. He really has been a trial and error president. Adversity is no excuse; if I were late on my home note, what would the person on the other end of the phone think, if I said - I cannot pay my bill due to adversity... they might laugh. Guess what - the phone is ringing and adversity is on the line. I can't blamet the man, for the siimple reason being - We had our say. Ya' know what? I'd actually like a recap of the positive things he has done for our freedoms. As an outgoing president, I hoipe he has a colon full of executive orders to finally help the good people in the "fly over" states that put his ass in the Grand Poohbah chair in the first place. |

Stop watching CNN. |
|
|
Now we are getting to the crux of the matter. You don't doubt it, but you weren't there. Sheesh. |
|
|
What positive things have reflected unto you?
CNN? Please don't insult me, this simple reasoning. I'm not out to get into a pissing match. I can't think of anything that supports my rtba that bush has done... not to mention the open arms of cheap labor from the south..... Just give me a couple... to remind me. |
|
Damn, you're smart! |
||
|
So you are saying that if GWB wanted the AWB back he couldn't have made it so? I know you think he was for it, but it expired anyway. I hope you aren't that politically naive. When wasn't cheap labor pouring over the border down south? When was that exactly? |
|
|
If he had said it, don't you think the MSM would be blaring it on every station?
Get a fucking clue. |
|
I'm simply asking what good things have come.... from his tenure. Really.. I need the prod in the ass. |

No poli. respects the Constitution, Pres. Bush is not excluded from that group.
That said, Pres. Bush did not say it was just a "goddamned piece of paper." |
|
|
Given the fact that George Bush declared McCain-Feingold to be unconstitutional and then signed it anyway, I think it is fair to say that in his mind the constition is essentially toilet paper.
The constitution is a nice thing to talk about when you need the redneck vote, but otherwise it is a PITA that can be disregarded at will. |
|
Resounding +1 see also Patriot Act and Hurricane Katrina. |
|
|
I highly doubt he said it, but it doesn't matter anyway. He wipes his ass with the Constitution in his actions routinely.
|
|
While the documents may be fake, the story itself is true |
|
|
....Still waiting for someone to point out the unconstitutional bits, or the bits that violate rights.... |
|
|
Take a nap or something to clear the fog in your head. It is possible the President might have said bathtubs are spaceships… but what you suppose don’t mean squat. |
|
|
Don't bother he ain't going to let the truth get in his way |
||
|
They can't point out the unconstitutional bits; the things they scream about being unconstitutional have largely been in use against organized crime for decades… and have cleared the courts or in other words are NOT unconstitutional. |
||
|
Correct. I have no fact, nearly hear-say. I believe, though, my argument has merit in it's body if you care to read it. I hate to tell you, but - the GWB rainbow ride that you are on is closing fast... I'm glad it worked out for you. Everything is peachy. |
||
|
You don't even have hear-say and clearly don't understand what that means... point to one person who actually says they heard anything first hand. You obliviously don’t know the difference between hear-say, rumor, or fabrication.
WTF does that idiocy mean… I certainly hope he has a political agenda. Argument what argument? A group of badly disjointed confused rambling is not argument. |
