>>
>> I'll cut right to the chase here: I

>>
>> a lather about me quitting to avoid

>>
>> something, let me assure you: there's

>>
>> impeachable offenses in this office.
>>
>> The reason I'm quitting is simple. I'm
>> fed up with you people.
>>
>> I'm fed up because you have no

>>
>> in the world. Or of what's going on in
>> this once-great nation of ours. And
>>
>> the majority of you are too damned
>> lazy to do your homework and figure it
>>
>> out.
>>
>> Let's start local. You've been sold a

>>
>> the news media. Polls show that the
>> majority of you think the economy is in
>>
>> the tank. And that's despite record
>> numbers of homeowners including record
>>
>> numbers of MINORITY homeowners. And
>> while we're mentioning minorities, I'll
>>
>> point out that minority business

>>
>> unemployment rate is as low as it ever
>> was during the Clinton
>>
>> Administration. I've mentioned all
>> those things before, but it doesn't seem
>>
>> to have sunk in.
>>
>> Despite the shock to our economy of

>>
>> to record levels and more Americans

>>
>> markets. Meanwhile, all you can do is

>>
>> you are too damn stupid to realize
>> that gas prices are high because there's
>>
>> increased demand in other parts of the
>> world, and because a small handful of
>>
>> noisy idiots are more worried about

>>
>> your economic security.
>>
>> We face real threats in the world.
>> Don't give me this ~blood for oil"
>>

>>
>> 'Bush Lied People Died' crap either.
>> If I was the liar you morons take me
>>
>> for, I could've easily had chemical

>>
>> 'discovered.' Instead, I owned up to
>> the fact that the intelligence was
>>
>> faulty. Let me remind you that the
>> rest of the world thought Saddam had the
>>
>> goods, same as me. Let me also remind
>> you that regime change in Iraq was
>>
>> official US policy before I came into
>> office. Some guy named 'Clinton'
>>
>> established that policy. Bet you
>> didn't know that, did you?
>>
>> You idiots need to understand that we
>> face a unique enemy. Back during
>>
>> the cold war, there were two major
>> competing political and economic models
>>
>> squaring off. We won that war, but we
>> did so because fundamentally, the
>>
>> Communists wanted to survive, just as
>> we do. We were simply able to outspend
>>
>> and out-tech them.
>>
>> That's not the case this time. The
>> soldiers of our new enemy don't care
>>
>> if they survive. In fact, they want to
>> die. That'd be fine, as long as they
>>
>> weren't also committed to taking as
>> many of you with them as they can. But
>>
>> they are. They want to kill you. And
>> the bastards are all over the globe.
>>
>> You should be grateful that they
>> haven't gotten any more of us here in
>>
>> the United States since September 11.
>> But you're not. That's because you've
>>
>> got no idea how hard a small number of
>> intelligence, military, law
>>
>> enforcement and homeland security
>> people have worked to make sure of that.
>>
>> When this whole mess started, I warned
>> you that this would be a long and
>>
>> difficult fight. I'm disappointed how
>> many of you people think a long and
>>
>> difficult fight amounts to a single
>> season of 'Survivor'.
>>
>> Instead, you've grown impatient.
>> You're incapable of seeing things
>>
>> through the long lens of history, the
>> way our enemies do. You think that
>>
>> wars should last a few months, a few
>> years, tops.
>>
>> Making matters worse, you actively
>> support those who help the enemy.
>>
>> Every time you buy the New York Times,
>> every time you send a donation to a
>>
>> cut-and-run Democrat's political

>>
>> In this day and age, it's easy enough

>>
>> the Internet. It just isn't on the
>> pages of the New York Times or on NBC
>>
>> News. But even if it were, I doubt
>> you'd be any smarter. Most of you would
>>

>>
>> I could say more about your
>> expectations that the government will always
>>
>> be there to bail you out, even if
>> you're too stupid to leave a city that's
>>
>> below sea level and has a hurricane

>>
>> insane belief that government, not
>> your own wallet, is where the money comes
>>
>> from. But I've come to the conclusion
>> that were I to do so, it would sail
>>
>> right over your heads.
>>
>> So I quit. I'm going back to Crawford.
>> I've got an energy-efficient
>>
>> house down there (Al Gore could only
>> dream) and the capability to be fully
>>
>> self-sufficient. No one ever heard of
>> Crawford before I got elected, and as
>>
>> soon as I'm done here pretty much no
>> one will ever hear of it again. Maybe
>>
>> I'll be lucky enough to die of old age
>> before the last pillars of America
>>
>> fall.
>>
>> Oh, and by the way, Cheney's quitting
>> too. That means Pelosi is your new
>>
>> President. You asked for it. Watch
>> what she does carefully, because I still
>>
>> have a glimmer of hope that there're
>> just enough of you remaining who are
>>
>> smart enough to turn this thing around
