Remember this quote: "I earned capital in the campaign, political capital,

[phylny]

and now I intend to spend it."

I hope this is plastered all over America's television sets during the next elections.

Smirk.

1. Like all forms of capital that shrub has had his hands on, he blew it all!

[emulatorloo]

2. he ****never**** had any capital -- 51 to 49% is barely squeaking by

(and personally I think the popular vote was padded anyway)

[snippy]

3. Probably blew it on his man date. n/t

[rasputin1952]

4. Damn asshole, spent the little bit he thought he had...

and just like every other thing he has attempted; he just blew it away...friggin' idiot.

5. Diebold capital

Is like having a bank account filled with thousands of confederate dollars.

[bluestateguy]

6. He did spend it

and the check bounced.

[vptpt]

7. And we have to pay

the overdraft fees.

[Tower]

8. He spent that imaginary "political capital" on his Social Security scam.

And the public rejected it. They rejected it so strongly, in fact, that his own party started fracturing, with Republican representatives backing away from the Bush scam publicly.

Basically he did his usual; he zeroed in on the single worst option imaginable, and then rode it into the ground. He's still riding it, in fact.
