As a conservative, I'd like to state that I think Clinton did an excellent job by revamping the Capital Gains tax. The move helped people of every wage bracket and could be partially responsible for the mildness of the economic depression we're crawling out of since it puts tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars into the hands of individual home sellers every year.

Now, I challenge any liberal to post one good thing in this thread that they think Bush has done. If you can't do this, then you're an official partisan patsy and your opinion on anything political can only be seen as the evocation of blind partisanship.

I'm not a Liberal but I will answer that anyway, he went into Afghanistan and routed Al Queda and their Hosts the Taliban after the 9/11 attacks.

ditto.

I think Bush's foreign policy overall has been better than Clinton's in both military AND economic aspects.

Yeah calling our Allies names is sheer genius!

how about initiating wars w/ potentially harmless countries, neglecting to cooperate w/ the UN, and spending billions of dollars out of OUR pockets as a result? there's more of his sh!tty foreign policy. At least clinton's embargo on iraq was on the DL for you people who don't give a damn about the iraqis. But when you initiate a full on war- you're asking for criticism.

Bush 'officially' allocated millions towards the treatment of AIDS in Africa.

The number of millions is debatable that that was Bush's good deed

Then you'll be sad to hear that Bush later retracted those millions.

All but a few million. Thats why I say it's debatable.

Hey folks, just answer HeroOfPellinor's question and move on. I know Bush is one of the worst presidents we've had in a long while but if hero wants material to wank off to, so be it.

Typical conservative tactic, the presenting of a complex question (you assume that Bush has actually done something good) combined with a false dilemma (You (we) must show that Bush has done a good thing or be "blind partisans").

Complex question: If Bush hasn't done anything good we can't say that he has done anything good.
False dilemma: If Bush hasn't done anything good we cannot show that he has done anything good but the fact that he hasn't done anything good does not make us "blind partisans", since it isn't our fault that Bush hasn't done anything good.

So you're in the partisan patsy column. Got it.

It can only be viewed as a false dilema if you think he's done not a single good thing. Therefore, for viewing it as a false dilema, you're a blind partisan.

If you with your question meant that Bush has done something unequivocally good then I have to say that I'm not aware of it. The Afghan War also killed and maimed hundreds if not thousands of civilian non-combatants, that's not good. The tax cuts were designed to feed the fat cats and it is too early to tell if there will be any positive effects on the economy from them. The FLM Act somebody mentioned in this thread does look very good however, I did not know about it before I read this thread.

FMLA (and subsequent tweaking of the original act) was a Clinton-era thing, not a Bush thing. Just for the record.

Doh

Hey, give me a thread, since you have an entire forum.

Can somebody please come up with a good thing Bush has done that isn't tarnished by blood, greed or fundamentalism? Anybody?

You mean something which not even a flaming idiot could misinterpret? The Do Not Call list.

Name one good thing that Clinton did that didn't involve tree-hugging, adultry, greed, or liberalism.

Sorry. That wasn't Bushes idea AT ALL. In fact, I'm surprised he hasn't knocked it down by now.

Lawmakers rushed the bill through the House and Senate last week after a federal judge in Oklahoma ruled the FTC lacked the authority to run the do-not-call registry. More than 50 million phone numbers are on the list.

Welcome to the partisan patsy column.

 

[tallest1]

I stand corrected.

 

[bigdog1218]

Hero, name something bad Bush has done as president, or are you just another partisan patsy.

 

[MonkeyK]

Also he called for a doubling in size of the Peace Corps
(As a returned Peace Corps volunteer, I am very happy with this)

Something I am not sure I understand. If one president does bad things, how does that excuse a current administration? Clinton did a lot of things I did not like. Would you defend them because of Nixon?

When Clinton was in office, I sure told others when he did something bad. I am doing the same here. If Dean were to get elected, I'll continue. Seems the acts are more important than the party. For now, the President is Bush, and I strongly dislike his actions, particularly in regards to Iraq.

I can list a ton of good things clinton has done, but one for Bush, sure, he made it far easier for generic drug makers to get access to patents for drugs that had long been protected, providing a cheaper and equally effective alternative for all Americans. When you consider the real Bush family money is in pharmaceuticals that was a shocker in my opinion, Papa Bush ran some tax protections through for them while he was in office so they could operate for free basically out of Puerto Rico.....
