Is this how it has always been? I was too young to remember anyone before Bush.

No, that is not how it has been.

It is not just Bush's fault. It is all Republicans including you.

I think that this type of smear tactic is a direct result of the democratic party being taken over by the far left. And if they want to actually win some elections they better move back to the center..because there's not enough P and N folks to carry the election for them.

Wow, yeah they are smearing

Hamas has come to rule.- Cond Rice- "How were we supposed to know?"

10s of thousands of dead Iraqis, and over 14k injured Americans, over 2k dead in a war that has accomplished absolutely nothing.

1000s of billions more in debt.

Katrina was handled as poorly as humanly possible and 6 months later people are still living on the streets...No levies being rebuilt.

9 billion dollars unaccounted for involving Iraqi assistance.

Millions of dollars unaccounted for involving Haliburton in Iraq. Still paying them

Handing over our ports to a group linked to the 9/11 attacks.

Iran is building nuclear weapons.

Iraq is showing signs of civil war.

We are giving fundamentalists in Iraq control of their "government."

A miserably failed social security reform plan.

4.5 years without capturing Bin Laden.

Cuts to education, cuts to border patrol, cuts to alternative energy, windfall profits for oil companies, environmental setbacks.

Illegal wiretaping on AMERICANS.

The patriot act restricting our american rights...

Those are all smear compaigns... damn those democrats! Damn the "mean spirited media"! They should be supporting illegal wiretaping of americans and education cuts!

It is because of two things:
The fact of Republican control of both houses of Congress and the Presidency, the implementation of party discipline from the President down and the 9-11 boost that gave this President extraordinary powers to pass his legislation intact. This has given us the most changes under any President since early in the Johnson administration.
The second thing has been the extraodinary failure of almost everything the Bush agenda has tried. From the Iraq war to the ruinous tax cuts to the elimination of civil liberties. There has been more change in the U.S. in the last 6 years than in the previous 30 years.
And once again almost nothing has worked out.
Plus the incredible problems we have put off whose bill will come due soon.

He's an incompetent-momma's-boy-rich-kid-prick, who never worked a single day in his life. Everybody hates that kind of person. I suppose the fact that he enjoys dropping fire from the sky, on children while they sleep, doesn't help.

No, you're wrong. Thinking up yarns of wool to pull over our eyes takes alot of work. :p
Not for George. That's Karl's job.

"SOME MISTAKES?" Booosh is a Mistake... Last I looked his ratings of 38% isn't going to carry him far into the next election. I really don't think we have to worry about any more wins for the booshies...


I am just happy we have people like you that still support him. I think you ought to get another boosh sticker for your right side of the bumper.

No. This moron really is at fault for everything. Every single decision he has made has been the wrong one. He hasn't done anything right. Hence, everything is truly his fault.

As long he doesn't have to worry about any of his loved ones getting in harms way, he just like to make trouble. Hey, it's good for the price of oil, good for Haliburton and the rest of the defense contractors.

Republicans, the party of personal resposiblity, conservative compassion, and family values. Did I mention smaller goverment and a balanced budget?

Great, 1EZDuzIt. Since you had no comeback to my PM you decided to ignore me, I'll call you out on this post.


From Me:
First of all. if you're saying


quote:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enough about it already or you will make my ignore list.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



show's to me that either:

a) you're wrong
b) you can't defend your case much further.

answer me this:

* Did Afghanistan just have free elections?

* Did Iraq draft a constitution?

It's not a light switch, democracy doesn't happen over night. We probably wont see it in our lifetime in the middle east. But as the old proverb goes, every single journey starts with a single step.

Look at the US. The Treaty of Paris was signed on September 3, 1783, ratified on January 14, 1784, Washington took office on April 30, 1789. There was a lot of turmoil in between 1784-1789. Each state had its own laws and currency, states wouldn't give any military support to eachother, etc. Finally there was a big step towards unity and the democracy that makes the US the strongest democracy in the world, when the Constitution was written in 1789. Not to say that it was smooth sailing from there on in but it is just an example that democracy evolves, it doesn't just happen over night. Couple that with Iraq and Afghanistan being in some of the most unstable areas of the world.

Look towards the positive instead of the negative of every situation. See the light, and not the darkness. The darkness is the easy way. It's easy to blame Bush for the small things he does wrong, than to accept his ideals and defend them and trudge forward to create a better future. This is not a question about us putting our values upon other people, but it's more of a means to stop the powder keg from growing. If you disagree that there's a powder keg, you're obviously not seeing the whole picture. The middle east has the makings of WWIII.


If you ignore me and don't write back I'll assume that both a&b are the case.
YOUR RESPONSE

assume what you like, I really don't care to argue with you about it. I have better thing to do. Sorry you don't like my sig. I saw your thread that got locked, the one with your new sig. Cute


quote:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If all of these sour pussed liberals or quasi conservatives who muckrake this this adminstration would just take all of their energy wasting time on useless nonsense (in retrospect with all of the problems in the world)and focus on things that would benefit the world... we'd be about 20 steps ahead of where we are.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Maybe you should focus your attention at something beside my sig?? Cause I'm keeping it.

The whole point of my conversation with you was to get a grasp on what you were trying to explain in your signature, and you go off on some childish nonsense. Expect and respect people having other opinions and beliefs. I am adamantly against some things in life, and though I may sound like it, I adamantly respect other opinions, especially if they will engage in a conversation or debate on the issue.

sorry to post this publically, but its my nature not to let things die, until they are dead

I agree with the first part, but 'own them'?? in Iraq?!!?!?! :laugh:
Dude, we're getting bitch-slapped over there. That rag-tag group of insurgents have brought us to our knees. Over 70% of the soldiers want to get the hell out and have nothing to do with the civil war we created

While I do think Bush Jr. is a lousy president, I'm not sure what you mean by everything is his fault? Everyone in the thread is finding issues that can reasonably be pinned on him, but I'm wondering what exactly you were referring to when you started this thread?

PS. Clinton was attacked much more viciously than Bush, but proved more cleaver (and dare I say honest?), more difficult to pin down and took more responsibilities for his short comings. I recall Filegate, Travelgate, Whitewater, FuturesTradingGate... misuse of state troopers... Jennifer Flowers, Monica Lewinski (sp) and the list goes on and on. These were all Republican initiatives to smear the sitting president that only polarized the nation. I feel that things would have been much easier for Bush Jr. if this polarization had never taken place.

Not too bright eh? Please read the above post.

So you're telling me that most of shadow9d9's list is just mean spirited and not realy important to the nation? Like the...

1000s of billions more in debt?

Handing over our ports to a group linked to the 9/11 attacks?

4.5 years without capturing Bin Laden?

The patriot act restricting our american rights?

PS. I don't think Clinton was the greatest of presidents, but we'll be constructing monuments to him by the time Bush Jr. is through.
