This would make Pelosi President; would Byrd become VP, since he is Senate's pres pro temp? Or, does Pelosi appoint VP (undoubtedly, another commie pinko lib)?

salaam alekum or hasta la vista,
----------------------------------
The speech George W. Bush SHOULD give:

Normally, I start these things out by saying "My Fellow Americans." Not doing it this time. If the polls are any indication, I don't know who more than half of you are anymore. I do know something terrible has happened, and that you're really not fellow Americans any longer.

I'll cut right to the chase here: I quit. Now before anyone gets all in a lather about me quitting to avoid impeachment, or to avoid prosecution or something, let me assure you: there's been no breaking of laws or 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 understanding of what's really going on in the world. Or of what's going on in this once-great nation of ours. And the majority of you are too lazy to do your homework and figure it out.

Let's start local. You've been sold a bill of goods by politicians and 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 ownership is at an all-time high. Our 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 9/11, the stock market has rebounded to record levels and more Americans than ever are participating in these markets. Meanwhile, all you can do is whine about gas prices, and most of you do not understand that gas prices are high because there's increased demand in other parts of the world, and because a small handful of noisy people are more worried about polar bears and beachfront property than your economic security.

We face real threats in the world. Don't give me this "blood for oil" thing. If I was trading blood for oil I would've already seized Iraq's oil fields and let the rest of the country go to h---. And don't give me this 'Bush Lied People Died' ****** either. If I was the liar you take me for, I could've easily had chemical weapons planted in Iraq so they could be '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 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 they 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 Slimes, every time you send a donation to a cut-and-run Democrat's political campaign, well, you might just as well Fedex a grenade launcher to a Jihadist. It amounts to the same thing.

In this day and age, it's easy enough to find the truth. It's all over the Internet. It just isn't on the pages of the New York Slimes or on NBC News. But even if it were, I doubt you'd be any smarter. Most of you would rather watch American Idol.

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 approaching. I could say more about your 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 (Algore 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 in 2008.

So that's it. God bless what's left of America. Some of you know what I mean.

If I were 35 years of age I'd run on a "deport democrats to Iraq" platform. I'd also send the illegal aliens to Iraq. Great post Nathan, welcome to the forum.

"So that's it. God bless what's left of America. Some of you know what I mean."

Unfortunately, we do. Great post!!

[Jeanie]

Nathan....just had a thought. You should forward that to the President.

[ben nathan]

As much as I'd like to, I can't claim authorship. It was sent to me by a fellow Conservative (& former co-worker).

[Jeanie]

nathan...I hope you listened to Mark tonight, he read it on the air!

[Conservative Indy]

Mark is reading it on the air now. It was a very good email.

Ben, That's a great post. Wouldn't it be easy on President Bush, for him to resign? But no, he loves this country too much. He'll let himself get beaten, beaten, and bloodied up, and he still refuses to quit. I admire him greatly for this. He is a real man of moral strength, courage, and patriotism. God bless President Bush, our military, and all those who sacrifice for our United States of America. The true Americans (and we know who we are- I'm not talking to you, Stretch Pelosi, or any of your freak Lib friends)-we are great in number and we're still here to support all those things- freedom, justice and the prosperity of each individual. This country, by God's grace, has not crumbled into the communist, depraved den of Godlessness that the Far-Left seem to envision for us. But the Left can't be stopped unless they are opposed with some of their own medicine, because like any cancerous body, they'll also proceed to take over until the host body (in this case, the United States we know and love) is shriveled up and dead.

[Hulksmash]

Heard it on the show last night. Good stuff! Great job Ben! You know you have arrived when Mark reads your stuff on air. I like the straight talk. I wish Bush would hold a press conference and make some strong statements like that without resigning.

[ben nathan]

I was leaving work at the time, didn't get to my car until 6:30...

[ben nathan]

Is there a way for Mark himself to send a private message to me?

I'd like to pass it on to the fellow who sent it to me.

Thanks!!
