GEORGE W. BUSH: president or puppet?

[Gato Moteado]

I'm interested to know the percentage of DUers that think bush is really in charge.

so, vote please: i want to know if you think bush is an evil genius and the mastermind of all his shitty policy or if you think he's the front man for the military industrial complex, the petrolium industry, big pharm, etc and he just reads the scripts they give him.

1. I thought this was already decided. He is a fucking monkey.

[Gato Moteado]

10. i thought so too....

....but i still see posts on DU with headings like "bush is a dictator" and the like. i still find a lot of DUers give bush way too much credit.

i've always thought he was an empty suit. a puppet. nothing more.

2. Poppy Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, James Baker

are the real power, I believe. Any other names?

[JuniperLea]

3. I wish Poppy Bush had some control over his brat

Sadly, I don't think that is so. Poppy called Joe Wilson a hero and said invading Iraq would be a mistake.

4. I think the real problem is we don't KNOW the names ...

... and probably never will. The back-room power brokers and zillionaires who have financial interest in all this instability ... shit's been going on behind the curtain for close to 100 years.

We may never really know who sets International policy.

12. wow....that is long......

i couldn't make it through the whole thing....but it is entertaining.

the jesuits run the world....that is some wacky stuff!

here's my favorite part where the interviewer asks the author (who explains the entire conspiracy) why he hasn't been killed yet:

Martin: Why haven’t you been taken out?

Phelps: Because I am immortal—until the Lord is done with me. I am a Calvinist and a Baptist, and we believe in the sovereignty of God. And as long as we are operating in His Will, they cannot touch us, regardless of their power.

9. Cheney is the real POTUS...

I've believed it from day #1.

[Uncle Joe]

13. I believe Cheney actually chose Bush, not the other way around.

Cheney was connected to the money people, Bush had the name and incurious mind to make the perfect puppet.

14. wow.....so far not a single vote for president......

.....only puppet.

well then, puppet it is!
