Did G.W. Bush really refer to the U.S. Constitution as "just a (bleep)ing piece of paper"?

"I don't give a goddamn," Bush retorted. "I'm the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way."





"Mr. President," one aide in the meeting said. "There is a valid case that the provisions in this law undermine the Constitution."





"Stop throwing the Constitution in my face," Bush screamed back. "It's just a goddamned piece of paper!"





My link is below. They reported it first. Consider the source, though...

by the way Alex, the Constitution was written on parchment, not paper.

You are listening to media nonsense.
Reply:No sir he didnt

Reply:NO

Look at the link and decide for your self. If you type the main phrase into google and search, other sites will probably come up as well. Who knows?
Reply:I cannot verify the validity of that quote, but for our sakes, I pray (and I don't do that very often, kids) to God that he did NOT.





He did, however, say a lot of other things that just make me shake my head.

If you see a newspaper article on George Bush lying again, would you be tempted to use it as toilet paper?

Hahahahaha


Good question.


Actually I prefer something a little softer.


When I do see him I think of it in the context of his days as President Jackass are numbered.
Reply:Any newspaper article about GWB is not worthy of toilet paper it would just clog the toilet anyway as there'd be so much of it.
Reply:Well, many people say he's DELUSIONAL.
Reply:yes i would because i dont want to hear about him hes horible he didnt do anything yet to help us look at supermarket costs gasoline price is high

What did Bush mean when he said of the constitution"its just a god damn piece of paper"?

A specific reference to your quote please so we can look at where you get your info.





EDIT:


Both links are the same articles quoting un-named people that "claim" to have heard the president say it. You would think with all the Bush hatred that is going on, someone would want to take credit for reporting this statement, and would go to a larger news outlet (CBS, ABC, NBC).

What did Bush mean when he said of the constitution"its just a god damn piece of paper"?
He meant that it was interfering with the policies that he wanted to enact.
Reply:It doesn't stand in his way.
Reply:I believe that this is a Lie! So there is no meaning to respond to. If not, then show proof of your statement!
Reply:Even the conservative papers can't deny the fact that he did say it:


http://www.theconservativevoice.com/arti...


Thanks for asking this question. As I'm reading the answers, I realized that even his supporters find this statement to be unconscionable!


I guess many people miss the news and Bush supporters support him without following what he does and says. Sad.


Here is another source, in case anyone thinks the asker pulled this out of his hat. Here's a Constitutional Law expert speaking of this and other instances that make our founding fathers turn in their graves:

Reply:It meant that he was unable to read what was on it.
Reply:Did you get this out of a rag like the National Enquirer?





Please name a source other than capitalhillblue. I read it and it seems like along the lines of the National Enquirer. Is there not a mainstream (liberal) media source? If there is not, I have to say that this is not true.
Reply:It requires him to maintain a pretense of acting within the law. That can be very frustrating for a " decider " .
Reply:And because this article on this site said this it's true????? I don't believe a word of it!!!
Reply:Did he REALLY say that????? He's really gone crazy now, hasn't he? If he did, he meant that he is not all that concerned about following it and protecting it, which is in violation of his oath that he took when being sworn into office.





But I don't believe he said that. He's dumb, but not that dumb.





O.K. I went to the articles, which are basically identical. But they make me believe that the asshole really DID say that! It's amazing that he was able to survive his Presidency with a statement like that! I guess that hush hushed it quite well enough so that it really wouldn't get out into the mainstream press. Lucky bastard.
Reply:Well, I have never heard him say that; give source please.
Reply:Um, you would need to show us your proof of him saying that. I'm sure you've got a link, right?





EDIT- Okay, first off, capitolhillblue is the biggest left wing, propaganda rag on the net. It targets the weak minded that need no proof, that are so full of hate they'll hang on to anything negative thrown out there about President Bush. There are absolutely no sources named just he said he said and so on and so forth. Where is a LEGITIMATE, reliable news source???





EDIT- What part of LEGITIMATE and RELIABLE do you not understand in regard to news sources???
Reply:This was way back in 2005. But it is good to be reminded occasionally just what a dictator is living in the White House and how glad we should all be to eventually get rid of him. Pity it won't be through an impeachment.
Reply:I didn't know he said this - do you have a source you can email me? thx.





I appreciate the link - I'm not familiar with this publication tho - will research further on my own ---- again, thanks !
Reply:Find me *one* CREDIBLE source, and I'll pay you. The ONLY mention of this I've found in the MSM is a clip on Olbermann where he's bleating about it - but he does not offer one shred of evidence.





Capital Blue is the rantings of ONE man - and an excellent example of the power of the Internet. AND it's all hearsay - which isn't even admissible in a court of law.





I can start BS, too - should I do a blog about Pelosi using the Koran for toilet paper? Same principal, Skippy. Surely if you're in college, your professors have talked to you about CREDIBLE sources.
Reply:He meant it was getting in the way of the programs he wanted to initiate to guard against terrorist attacks. He should have had more regard for using the correct channels for his programs and a whole lot of people would have had more faith in his judgment and would have probably enjoyed more support from the American people. He usurped way too much power for the executive branch that seemed to literally obliterate the power of Congress for several years. He didn't appear to regard the rights of Americans in his fervor to prevent further attacks. In my opinion, both are very important.
Reply:Give me a break!!! You are being a left extremist to come on here and say this stuff!
Reply:The same thing the democrats mean without saying anything, but through their actions.





Yes HE DID SAY IT!!!! if you ppl had memory retention longer than two seconds, you would have remembered. Or at least start paying a tad bit more attention.














Ron Paul 2008
Reply:funny how people of accuse him of this. Then in the same breathe accuse him of appointing strict constructionists as judges. Strict construction in the interpretation of the Constitution.


The Left believes if they scream loud enough long enough maybe some of their lies will be believed; even if the contradict each other
Reply:Well that just proves that he doesn't and never has cared about this country and the principles in which it was founded upon.
Reply:you have to up better proof than that. I've talked to people that have seen big foot and I certainly will not take anyone's word for proof.
Reply:I doubt he said that, let's see a link.
Reply:Surely even your wit and knowledge can provide proof od this?
Reply:When did he say that? Please provide evidence.





Those are both the same article (an unsupported opinion piece). In reading them I have a hard time believing that anything in them is accurate. Please provide evidence from an actual news source someone might have heard of. Not just something written by an unknown author on a backwater extremist website.
Reply:He agrees with it.
Reply:i think he said that of the government bonds issued so he could borrow from the social securtiy trust funds. I think of the constitution he said "its not a suicide pact".
Reply:yes he said that because it gets in his way of some of the stuff that he would like to do but cannot because it would be unconstitutional or illegal to do under the constitution.
Reply:Basically that the content and guidelines within the Constitution have no meaning to him... that he can do whatever he wants with no accountability.... as he has done for the past ~7 years.





His statement also reflects him saying, "I'm a liar and have no intentions of honoring my oath to office where UNDER GOD I swore to protect the Constitution."





NOTE: I'm amazed at how many ppl don't already know about this. He made this statement a few years ago.
Reply:He is thinking that the Philadelphia Convention didn't know that 220 years later people would be taking advantage of too many rights.
Reply:Bush was angry after 9/11. Many have said his Patriot Act violates the Constitution. That was Bush's response.
Reply:BUSH SAID THAT?!!?!?!





WOW, talk about unpatriotic.


Why do Bush lovers always bring up the constitution? It's just a god damn piece of paper!!?

It's hilarious that most conservative responders don't know where the quote you gave came from.





Come on righties..... take a guess who called the constitution "just a god damn piece of paper."





OK, I'll even give you a hint.





His bestest buddies live in a palace in Saudi Arabia, and he's gotten very wealthy from his "poppy's" friends.

Reply:Hey stupid, That's right stupid if you think that the constitution is "Just a piece of paper" That "piece of paper" is what protects your freedom to spout your commie socialist ideas. Why don't you go live in a country where you have no freedom of speech and then tell me it's just a piece of paper. What a fool

Move to France. You make me ill.
Reply:it is the original laws on which we were founded, its tells the basic rights and lack of rights since the beginning of this country, unfortunately now people are interpreting it differently from eachother to get what they want. many o the problmes we have now are not issues the founding fathers would have thought of back then. thats why theres so much controversy over the constitution.
Reply:You clearly are a moron. With the Constitution which included the Bill of Rights when passed, you are guaranteed free speech, etc.





It is in the Declaration of Independance that states some of these rights which are unalienable and are "God given".





And idiots who want the protection and the right are the same people who deny that God exists who is the very being that you say gave you these rights.





Therefore with God, you have no rights!





Without these rights you wouldn't even be allowed to be a moron!
Reply:With that mentality, you make it apparent that you have no concept of the history or value of the constitution. Perhaps you should do a little research on the constitution and you find that that very "piece of paper" gives you the rights you have to day. If you are truly ignorant of the subject, educate yourself. However, if you are stupid that's another story!!
Reply:Oh, man. You are being ridiculous.
Reply:Why do you believe things the Liberals say?





According to the Liberals the rights of CHristians and Jews need to be restricted but the rights of Muslims need to be increased to a point that Non-Muslims are to be required to read Koran in the same Schools where Bibles and Torahs are to be banned.
Reply:What does that have to do with being a Bush lover? (btw-I'm not one them either)





It's not just a peice of paper.





That "piece of paper" articulates what this country stands for and what principles constitute our rule-of-law.

Reply:hahaha... nice question... it's kind of funny to watch them all hang themselves...
Reply:It's more than a peice of paper. The writings represent our freedom. We needed a piece of paper to write the down the laws. Laws are not written on air. They are written on paper.

Reply:i dont know, i guess they dont have n e thing better to do,personally i dont like bush i think we would have been better off with a democrat in office


If Bush proved that you can rig the electoral voting system, should we go back to paper ballots?

Who cares if we have to round up a million volunteers to count the votes.....at least it would be honest.

If Bush proved that you can rig the electoral voting system, should we go back to paper ballots?
We should certainly not allow paperless voting, but we needn't go back to pure paper.





Scanned votes would be fine, since the marked ballots would be available for recount.





Ditto machines that provide paper backup.





The other thing we need to do is an amendment to eliminate the Electoral College, which allowed him to steal 2000 -- "All we need to do is prevent Democrats in Florida from voting, and we've won!"





I think we also need some system in place for when there wasn't in fact a real election, where voters were allowed to vote.





Saying, "Well, they clearly stole it, but there's no choice but to swear him in" is sheer insanity.





And that's what we've got.
Reply:It is so sad that people do not understand the electoral college. Just because you do not agree with the results, it does not mean it was rigged or whatever other crap you want to come up with. You claim Dems were turned away from the polls, I can also say Repubs were turned away as well. Report It

Reply:There is TONS of evidence of rigging -- Republicans removed Democrats in Florida from the voter lists. It happened. I know your side doesn't approve of fact, evidence, or reality, but some of us do. Report It

Reply:Yes, you can SAY Republicans were turned away, but there is no reason or evidence behind it.





Republicans ran Florida's system, and removed Democrats for having part of their names in common with people who died or were in prison, and for other bogus reasons. Report It

Reply:The Dems are traditionally the vote cheaters.
Reply:Republicans won, Democrats lost. Just admit it.

Reply:Definitely, that should be a priority next election.
Reply:Spin it anyway you want to - face it, President Bush was elected, isn't it about time you dealt w/ it?
Reply:A paper trail is different from paper ballots and I have so few trees to hug.
Reply:But he wasn't proved to have rigged anything was he. Get over it. this from someone who believes in a party that wants people in prison who have been found guilty of major crimes to be able to vote. What ever happended to that liberal who was caught with a voting machine in the trunk of his car down in Florida in the 2000 election. I'll tell you not a damn thing lol.
Reply:Yeah sure, because 1,000,000 people can be counted on to be honest. Furthermore, that is how we do it now. Volunteers at local precincts counting paper ballots and the talley on various voting booths. Did you really think George Bush sat in a room all by himself and counted the 40+million ballots cast?
Reply:What an in accurate question. Please name the court case that proved that Bush rigged an electoral voting system? On the contrary Bush v Gore (2000) proved that the Constitution works, and our system works. Small states and rural areas should not be left to the whims of urban America. Our founding fathers knew it, why don't you?
Reply:Except for the fact that Bush never proved as such.
Reply:You forgot to check your conspricy theorist notebook again. The Dems claim violations in Ohio but we still use paper ballots. By the way all those claims were proven false.
Reply:wow, really can I see the proof of your idiotic accusations?
Reply:Are you sure your screen name is not Dumb Betty, as even with paper ballots, we would still rely on the electoral college to choose our President.
Reply:Well, when Bush does that, I may agree. He hasn't so all the what if waste of time questions are really a waste, don't you think.
Reply:why do democrats only speak of voter fraud when republicans WIN elections...never when they do...hmmm...
Reply:OMG you Lefties are just Nuts!!!! Rigging the election hmmm lets talk about that for a min shall we. Nancy Pelosi when does she want an end to the war or a pull out date?? Hmmm fall 2008?? Isnt that during an election?? Rigging hey I smell something funny and it isnt fish. Its dirty politics cant win honest got to cheat. Oh and during the last election wasnt it the Dems who slashed tires so that some known republicans couldnt make it to the poles?? hmmmm ya we're riggin and your cheatin!!!! Get a life really!!!
Reply:No, because, if you recall Florida, they had paper ballots, and all the problems with "chad and hanging chad, etc". What this country needs to do is have a voting period, say one week long. Everyone who votes or is eligible to vote must bring in their voter card and do a tamper proof ballot. Once the ballot is complete. A person checks to make sure that the ballot is filled out correctly, but if they try to tell the voter who to vote for, they will be immediately arrested. Have one person from each political party present to keep the others honest. Then manually count the ballots, ensuring that each ballot is numbered and in sequence, so that none are lost, misplaced or any other excuse that has been used in the past. Sure, it will be expensive, but the only other choice is the current system or lack thereof.
Reply:The votes weren't rigged. Al gore just couldn't stand the fact that he lost. He is such a poor loser. Democrats are the ones who proved the voting system can be rigged. Or is that why all those dead people voted for Clinton?
Reply:yawn....here we go again..another liberal in need of a fact checker...lets see the miami dade arguement..oh yeah, this is the one were the ny times paid for the study and in one of four scenarios it was debatable and only uneder very unusal conditions...cmon...


GROW UP


GET OVER IT


MOVE ON...YOU LOST OK.


the only thing bush proved is that the supreme court correctly issues rule of law and cant be bought or pressured by liberal whining. and speaking of liberal whining...using the same type of stated twisted logic it was proved that clinton was guilty of....





- The only president ever impeached on grounds of personal malfeasance


- Most number of convictions and guilty pleas by friends and associates*


- Most number of cabinet officials to come under criminal investigation


- Most number of witnesses to flee country or refuse to testify


- Most number of witnesses to die suddenly


- First president sued for sexual harassment.


- First president accused of rape.


- First first lady to come under criminal investigation


- Largest criminal plea agreement in an illegal campaign contribution case


- First president to establish a legal defense fund.


- First president to be held in contempt of court


- Greatest amount of illegal campaign contributions


- Greatest amount of illegal campaign contributions from abroad


- First president disbarred from the US Supreme Court and a state court


Who cares if we had to bend the rules about lying under oath and campaign fraud and impeachment in office and conduct in the white house. etc, etc, etc.....do you see a correlation liberal???


sorry you lose on this one...have a nice day...

YOUR QUESTION HAS NO ANSWER AS THE ELECTORAL SYSTEM CLEARLY DID ITS JOB.
Reply:still want a recount do ya. figures. do you mean electronic voting system and not electoral system? what are you talking about?
Reply:The electoral voting system was compromised when it was a paper system. Remember the chads!
Reply:Heaven knows that it's simply impossible to rig paper ballots.
Reply:I think we should go back to paper ballots. Why do we have to have the results of the election within hours? The media is pushing the electoral process so they can maybe scoop their competitors. I would rather have elections that can be challenged and have a reasonable chance of being fair.
Reply:The volunteers are more dishonest. Take Washington states governor's election in 2004. they had 3 recounts and each time more ballots are found for the Dem's. Wouldn't you know it on the third count 200 plus new ballots are found in King County and now we have a socialist democratic Governor... yeah fair all right....
Reply:Nah, his term is almost over. Let him finish his term and elect a new person for 08.





Does that mean we need to redo the last elections as well. Did the Democrats rig that election.

What did Bush mean when he said " The Constitution is just another G.. D.. piece of paper "?

After about 400 articles or so it seems to peter off and become not about Bush anymore. For anyone saying "there's no source", there's quite a few sources. It just seems to be another dry-drunk bully statement that he's pretty famous among his staff for ranting, sort of like his "There won't be any diplomacy, F*** Saddam, we're taking him out." Really repugs, learn to use a search engine.

By the way, has anyone been able to verify the story that Bush recently called the Constitution "A goddamned piece of paper"?


Unquote.





No one had an answer.





Considering that the other twenty instances of the "quote" were about evenly split between Democrat and Republican blogs or forums where one side accused the other of just such a sentiment.





The mainstream media would not have missed the opportunity to make such a "quote" by the President into a great big bash-Bush moment.

This is how Bush thinks!





Bush ignores laws he inks, vexing Congress By LAURIE KELLMAN, Associated Press Writer


29 minutes ago





WASHINGTON - A bill becomes the rule of the land when Congress passes it and the president signs it into law, right?








Not necessarily, according to the White House. A law is not binding when a president issues a separate statement saying he reserves the right to revise, interpret or disregard it on national security and constitutional grounds.





That's the argument a Bush administration official is expected to make Tuesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee, chaired by Arlen Specter, R-Pa., who has demanded a hearing on a practice he considers an example of the administration's abuse of power.





"It's a challenge to the plain language of the Constitution," Specter said in an interview with The Associated Press. "I'm interested to hear from the administration just what research they've done to lead them to the conclusion that they can cherry-pick."





He is anti American, anti-Constitution,is a fascist and needs to be impeached!!





The last law he decided he was not going to go by? The Patrriot Act! What a misnomer!





Since when did Bush become a judge?

I know he did wrong things, but he was really good at being the president. %26amp; If Bush said that, someone needs to run his @ss to the front line %26amp; wait for a RPG to hit him or for him to be draged through the streets.... GOD is what this country was founded on. %26amp; all this stuff about taking God out of the courthouse, schools, %26amp; everyother system is bull. What is it that we swear on? the Bible. %26amp; re-writing the constitution is the same as re-writing the Bible to me.
Reply:When did he say this? Can you cite your source, or are you just engaging in mindless leftist propaganda-spewing?





Answer: He never said it.


Will Bush by Imperial Edict change the name of the Constitution to the "Piece of Paper"...???

Or just do it secretly in a signing statement???

You know Larry, it's amazing to me that Americans let a President with the "swelled head complex" disregard the "Supreme Laws of the Land" without a whimper.





The Constitution specifically LIMITS the power of the president, and bush has tried his best to make a mockery of the Constitution.





It seems many on Y.A. answers want to be governed by a "King" and not a president.





They forget that under a King everyone is a subject {another word for slave.} of the King,,,and bows down in submission to his powers.





If you Americans want to enjoy personal Freedom under the "Bill of Rights", you better start seriously thinking about voting for Ron Paul as our next President, and try to listen with an open mind to exactly what he has to say.





By the way, I went to a Ron Paul meet-up last night and learned he now has a ""64%"" rating, compared to the other candidates.


Why doesn't mainstream media publisize that?


Thank you.

Probably not. News groups like Capitol Hill Blue and The Drudge Report report information that has not been confirmed by major news sources like the AP and UPI. This means that sometimes they break the story sooner but usually are dead wrong.

Now we have to live in fear that God does not tell Bush to further escalate his "War on Error" by attacking Iran.





Bush has placed himself above our Constitution by ignoring the separation of powers, outing one of our own CIA agents, condoning torture, lying about secret prisons, and violating Congressional laws based on wiretapping, and manipulating intelligence to take our nation into war, while his corporate cronies make record profits off the blood of our soldiers.

Assuming he said it, he did so because advisers were telling him that the patriot act had possibly unconstitutional elements within it.


If your asking this as a rhetorical question then it is because he


1. Has little regard for the foundation of our law and the will of our founding fathers.


2. Is not aware that the document is made of parchment and not paper. (there is a difference)

Anyone got Bush on video saying "The constitution is just a godammned peice of paper"?

Seems like it was behind closed doors, good luck finding video or audio:





DOUG THOMPSON | December 9 2005





Last month, Republican Congressional leaders filed into the Oval Office to meet with President George W. Bush and talk about renewing the controversial USA Patriot Act.





Several provisions of the act, passed in the shell shocked period immediately following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, caused enough anger that liberal groups like the American Civil Liberties Union had joined forces with prominent conservatives like Phyllis Schlafly and Bob Barr to oppose renewal.





GOP leaders told Bush that his hardcore push to renew the more onerous provisions of the act could further alienate conservatives still mad at the President from his botched attempt to nominate White House Counsel Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court.





“I don’t give a goddamn,” Bush retorted. “I’m the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way.”





“Mr. President,” one aide in the meeting said. “There is a valid case that the provisions in this law undermine the Constitution.”





“Stop throwing the Constitution in my face,” Bush screamed back. “It’s just a goddamned piece of paper!”





I’ve talked to three people present for the meeting that day and they all confirm that the President of the United States called the Constitution “a goddamned piece of paper.”

Anyone got Bush on video saying "The constitution is just a godammned peice of paper"?
"No. That story came from Capitol Hill Blue, who's not enamored of Bush, and was as [allegedly] told to the reporter by 2 unnamed staffers of unnamed legislators that it was said in a private meeting with Bush.





That means it is uncorroborated and unverifiable."


--------------------------------------...








Yes But, I still do not put it past him. It defiantly sounds like a bush answer to me.
Reply:I hadn't heard audio or seen video for that but I wouldn't put it past him to say such insane things.





All he's ever shown us is just because he wears the "commander in chief pants" that he can abuse that power and authority to do whatever, whenever he wants with no question or consequence.





Good luck finding the audio or video....if you do then post it soon..I'll be looking for it as well.
Reply:No. That story came from Capitol Hill Blue, who's not enamored of Bush, and was as [allegedly] told to the reporter by 2 unnamed staffers of unnamed legislators that it was said in a private meeting with Bush. [ed] I re-read it and it is 3 unnamed persons. The number doesn't make it any more believable.





That means it is uncorroborated and unverifiable.





I don't put too much stock in uncorroborated reports from unnamed people as reported by people who vehemently oppose the target of their dirt. That's rarely a good source of truth.





By the same token, I don't believe any stories about my political opponents that have the same lack of corroboration or ability to be verified. It is especially important to verify such reports against your political opponents, else you'll be called out (and rightly so) and all your statements will be suspect.


---------


[ed] Also, one should look at the rest of Bush's tenure in office, because there is nothing of similar nature at all, in fact, he's shown very strong support of the Constitution and has bent over backwards to not run afoul of it while still trying to accomplish everything.





Thus being uncorroborated and not in keeping with the character of the rest of his actions, it has little chance of being the truth, IMO.
Reply:No do you ?
Reply:Ive read about this many times but never seen it on video, just reminds me of the hundreds of un named 'official sources' who wrote about the AQ threats, Osama, the Taliban, Saddams nukes,and his WMD stories....why the hell we all believed them Im damned if I know.

Cite a source, or shut the fck up.





Mikeygonebad claims that you can google this and get over 1.5 million results. I tried just that and got 65,800, virtually all of them blogs echoing one lone article on capitalhillblue.com. And what do I find right at the top of that article?





"WRITER'S NOTE: When this story was written, three sources told me they personally heard President Bush call the Constitution a "goddamned piece of paper." I have since learned that two of the sources were not present for the meeting and were, in fact, passing on second-hand information. The third now refuses to either confirm or deny the report."





Garbage. Pure garbage.
Reply:because he does not respect the law, he thinks he and his ilk are the law.
Reply:This is the closest I could find as far as a source goes. Who knows if he said this or not. All I know, is that he's been re-writing and editing the "God damned piece of paper" for his personal advantage since he's been in office, so it wouldn't surprise me if he did.
Reply:I dislike Bush, extremely. However, even I think that you had better quote your source on what you claim he has said. I doubt that even he is stupid enough to say that.
Reply:The man is not bright.
Reply:Well, I don't know if he did or not, but seeing the way he's acted in the last years, I certainly wouldn't be surprised if he did more than that and started using it as his own personal roll of toilet paper.
Reply:Because he's a fascist, mean-spirited, self-centered, egotistical, control-freak who wants to turn America into a police state! And he would probably urinate on it if it wasn't sealed in an airtight glass box!
Reply:well it is written on paper, he has a point there................but before I agree with Bush (though no politician ever puts much thought into the constitution),





Is this a joke? where did you hear this?I know his "shocked" aides and staff wouldn't say **** b/c they would no longer be staff or aide.
Reply:Don't bother trying to figure out the deeper meaning of anything he says, because there is no deeper meaning. If Bush thinks the Constitution is a God-damned piece of paper, then it must be. I think it's amazing that Clinton got impeached for having sex in the Oval office, and all the crazy things Bush has done like lying about WMD and he's still in office.
Reply:He's republican. He wants to revamp The Constitution by using The Patriot Act as bait. His main political backers are big business, oil barens and the Christian Militia. He wants to get the little things changed first (the flag issue) which I agree.





Unfortunately the flag will be the first leak that springs into more and more of our Patriotic People's Rights being taken away.





Every U.S. Senator will tell you the same thing. 911 changed the way we look at our country. The Patriot Act will be known as the act that took away Our Constitutional Rights.





President Bush wants to fight terrorists on their own soil and the Democrats want to protect our rights and our soil. It makes me wonder if he's protecting us or oil?

One thing that does not make since to me is that it totally contradicts everything most everyone has said about him and some of the players within the "Story"


It only looks negative on Republicans and nothing at all bad about the Democrat's. Again, seems like a slam piece that has no way to verify, nor has any validity to it. Nice try though.
Reply:I love how he speaks before he thinks--that way you know what he really means. But there are many important pieces of paper:a court summons,marriage license, MONEY (the only pieces of paper he does respect), a diploma, a speeding ticket, etc. Can we all follow our esteemed leader and say it's just a GD piece of paper, I'll do as I please? I think not. Actually maybe you could look up another link for us--The one where Bush says he doesn't mind dictatorships as long as he is the dictator. Maybe you can wake up some of his zombie followers.

Insiders say that he has a terrible temper and everyone is afraid to tell him the truth when there is bad news. He is in a bubble surrounded by people who tell him that he is the greatest president we've ever had and that everything is just fine. We are being governed by a childish little man.

Who says he did that? Do you have any evidence, or is this just a rumor? I haven't heard anybody I trust say he said that. There has been so much defamation of Bush that you can't really trust any of it. A lot of what is said IS false. I don't like everything Bush does, but I don't think it's right to defame him. In fact, it's rather self-defeating. You can oppose him much more effectively if you carefully research everything and make sure it's true, and stick to the facts. Seriously. If you develop a reputation for defaming him, people who count won't pay attention to you. You will look like a fool. So be very careful what you say.

Who still thinks Bush said that the constitution is "just a GD piece of paper"?
The truthout article does not dispute the validity of the "constitution story". However, you are correct, if this story were true, legitimate news agencies would have run with it. If you do a search, the story is only in the blogosphere.





The tragedy is that everyone who hears this story believes it without thinking twice. If such a quote had been attributed to any other president (with perhaps the exception of Nixon) it would be dismissed out of hand by most people. The fact that everyone believes the story tells us a lot about what people think of George Bush.





I also never heard any denials from the White House, and this White House is usually pretty quick to get out its own side of the story, whether true or false.

How about asking "Who still thinks Iraq had ANYTHING to do with 9/11?"
Reply:Actually, whether Bush said it or not, his statement that "I'm the decider" proves that he thinks the Constitution is just another piece of paper. Also, if you will listen to his state of the Union address, he actually said "I decided" so many times that I lost count. Also, he stated that those who disagree with him "had better". Actions always speak louder than words.

Why does it matter when the rumor says, "He said it" we are trying to disprove a rumor. Go back to your philosophy classes.
Reply:If the "sources" were credible, it would have been on the front page of every newspaper in America--FOR MONTHS. The liberal media would NOT have given this one a pass were it true. That fact in and of itself is reason enough to toss it into the "liberal trash propaganda" can.

Did Bush actually refer to the Constitution as "just a piece of paper"?

Can anyone provide a link or some sort of proof? I've heard this used in anwers lately and wonder if its true. If he said this, I think he should be impeached for blasphemous speech. Thats like a christian reffering to the bible as "just a book". (I'm not a christian, but you get the idea.) Its the god damn basis for our country!

There was a meeting back in 2005, where numerous people attended.





According to several people who were at that meeting, Bush asked if he could do something, and one of the lawyers present mentioned that it might be unconstitutional.





According to several people who were at that meeting, Bush replied something to the effect of "Stop throwing the Constitution in my face all the time. It's just a g*d*mn piece of paper".

Has bush ever spoke a sentence, without looking at a piece of paper!?

I don't think he has very good memorization skills, so paper would be necessary. He has no memory of the lesson of Vietnam, and says the U.S. should have stayed there indefinitely, and sacrificed unlimited American blood for nothing. This man loves to have his image made, even though he appears to be very nearly illiterate and unable to put a complete paragraph together.

He believes that The Constitution is important.

The story was first published on a Washinton D.C. website that deals with gossip, among other things. (National Enquirer also deals with gossip). Later, the story was pulled by the publisher. The link was down and then it was brought back. http://www.capitolhillblue.com/artman/pu...
Reply:No he did not. There are no sources to back up that claim.
Reply:According to several people who attended a meeting at the White House, yes.





It's anecdotal, since the comment was made in a semi-private meeting --- but Bush's behavior and comments since certainly seem to indicate that is his belief.
Reply:no but if you remember the dems said something similar. the said the constitution shouldnt be taken literaly its a living breathing document subject to interpretation. our countries founders knew exactly what they wer envisioning for our country and tried to spell it out as clearly as possible to prevent any misunderstanding
Reply:he probably does cuz hes a idiot he is the dumbest person in the whole world where are the so called weapons of mass destruction
Reply:He has said a lot of stupid things so he probably did that right after the infamous nose picking fiasco that was caught on tape. There are a lot of Bush bashing sites on the web where you can read his stupid Bushisms and you will wonder how he ever learned to brush his teeth, let alone rule a country.......just google Bushisms and you'll see it is hillarious.
Reply:no, it is an urban legend. ( blogs are not ligitimate news sources as many pretend them to be.) if he had said this, it would have made front page news in every paper in the nation. use a little common sense.





%26lt;edit%26gt; coragryph: i use to think you credible but your post of your opinion of what you think someone might or could say leaves me in doubt now. you stated that you are a minister and a lawyer, i guess i would expect both of wanting to let truth guide them.
Reply:It was reported that he said that. Whether he did or didn't, I'm not sure.
Reply:No. I have asked for a *credible* source for this, and apparently, it was all started by one guy with incredibly poor journalistic standards. (Yeah, I know! I was shocked, too!)





According to a very liberal website:





The source of this story is unable to verify the statement claiming "...I heard from two White House sources who claim they heard from others present in the meeting...". This isn't acceptable by any journalistic standards.


~*~*~*~


But a lot of the libs on here will act like prisonplanet, moron.org, etc are "credible" sources. The only mention in the MSM I was able to find was a Keith Olbermann clip where Olbermann and some other Dem are talking about it. I have yet to see PROOF that this happened, but it is widely accepted as fact.
Reply:As much as I do not like his presidency, No he did not.
Reply:No, he never said it.





The Dems would be all over it.
Reply:No, but being the extremist Republican he is he probably thinks it.
Reply:no
Reply:Even if he didn't say it, he's sure acting the part.
Reply:I have not personally heard this, but it would be typical for the tyrant to again trample on our Constitution. Bush has been a liar and deciever from the beginning, like the Devil. He cares nothing about our "rights".
Reply:Absolutely not, you have to realize some people will say or publish whatever they think will sell.

Reply:Bush on the Constitution: ‘It’s just a goddamned piece of paper’

Last month, Republican Congressional leaders filed into the Oval Office to meet with President George W. Bush and talk about renewing the controversial USA Patriot Act.





Several provisions of the act, passed in the shell shocked period immediately following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, caused enough anger that liberal groups like the American Civil Liberties Union had joined forces with prominent conservatives like Phyllis Schlafly and Bob Barr to oppose renewal.





GOP leaders told Bush that his hardcore push to renew the more onerous provisions of the act could further alienate conservatives still mad at the President from his botched attempt to nominate White House Counsel Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court.





“I don’t give a goddamn,” Bush retorted. “I’m the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way.”





“Mr. President,” one aide in the meeting said. “There is a valid case that the provisions in this law undermine the Constitution.”





“Stop throwing the Constitution in my face,” Bush screamed back. “It’s just a goddamned piece of paper!”





I’ve talked to three people present for the meeting that day and they all confirm that the President of the United States called the Constitution “a goddamned piece of paper.”
Reply:idk but thats probably his opinion of it
Reply:Yes he said it, as reported by several republican senators who witnessed the traitorous outburst.

Why did Bush say the Constitution is just a goddamned piece of paper?

Because The U.S. Constitution has Nothing to do With The BushCrimeSyndicate-NaziFascist-AIPAC-PNA... ILLUMINATI-NewWorldOrder-or Their Agena for Global Dominance. The Constitution is USLESS for The Mind(less) Set of Herr Von Bushe, he being a 3rd Generation MEMBER of a CULT, known as The SKULL and BONES SOCIETY (since1969) when Flunking (but Fixing Grades) at Yale. Every year 15 ELITIST Sons are Chosen to Join This SATANIC SOCIETY. One of the Initiation Rituals is : each applicant, 1 at a time. Lays in an OPEN COFFIN, while The Other 14 PERFORM-HomoSexual ACTS on.(sorry Boortz, didnt mean to get you Excited) Then to become an Official Bonesman, each Member, (YOUR Pres.) Take an OATH to DENOUNCE Christianity, and To SWEAR Their ALLIGIENCE to Friggen LUCIFER.!! We Should ALL Notify The BibleBelt, The Evangelistic Sheeple, the Lost Souls who Think GW "spoke to GOD" (by Cellphone?) when Told the MINDLESS Masses that the Almighty told him to Go Ahead and INVADE Iraq. and MURDER OVER a MILLION INNOCENT Women and CHILDREN. Howz about you BushSupporters here, do you Believe this BS.?? About the Ques. YES Bushe DID SAY THAT.?? and the MINUTE that he DID, Should Have Been IMMEDIATELY Hand Cuffed and Brought to a Padded Cell.!! then Sentenced For His %26amp; his ZIONIST-BunkBuddies, CRIMES of HIGH TREASON .

that is a new one on me. i have never heard him say that.


i do remember the last politician in the white house say that the constitution is a radically outdated document that needs to be overhauled or replaced.
Reply:I don't think he has ever said this, but in terms of what he has meant it. Just take a looking at presidental signing statement and look at the over 500 constitutional changes he has made through them.
Reply:Because he's, at heart, an anti American war criminal in the mold of Adolf Hitler and Josef Stalin.
Reply:Who knows? Maybe he had a few too many hits.





What's ironic is that this president, who was a conservative "godsend" when he appointed "strict constructionists" to the Supreme Court, is part of the neoconservative fringe that sees the Constitution as a barrier (rather than as a guideline as most liberal interpreters would) to realizing their totalitarian ambitions.
Reply:Because he was absent that day when the class learned about our Constitution. He only got a C average,even with momma and pops pulling strings!
Reply:Q: Why did Bush say the Constitution is just a goddamned piece of paper?





A: The answer is a simple one, our President is lawless! He full well knows his transgressions and said what he said of our Constitution in malice and disgust for the law!
