I dunno, Rotundo the Clown would have been quite a good choice

I love how this sentence-

The picture is so much bigger than one President has to take responsiblity for.

Is followed by this one-

If we look back at Clinton's legacy maybe if he ran the country differently alot of what is happening now may have been stopped.

In the same post. Awesome. Irony is shiny.

I also recall the Neo-Con talking point that the reason that there was all that prosperity during the Clinton years was due to the Bush 1 and Regan administration. However the disaster that has befallen poor George is clearly all Clinton's fault. And some wonder why "W" has ZERO credibility.

I was not sticking up for Bush. I don't like either party. If you think every adminstration doesn't do this sort of thing with broadcasts, you are wrong.

Reality is shinning. You believe because Bush is in office we are in the shape we are in??????? Like I posted before the world is messed up because we have done it to ourselves! We always have to lay blame on someone. The man of the hour happens to be" Bush." Lets play the blame game when we elect the next President. Different face same old story.

I'd call this the "we're bad, but you're worse" defense.

Self-destruction to commence in 5...4...3...2...

Not at all. All presidencies have highs and lows. When this presidency is viewed in its totality, with a free Iraq, The Bush Presidency will be one of the greatest sucesses of our life time.

A question I would like to ask. If Bush was not your choice to be President was their someone who would have run this country in a different and better way??? Would 9-11 never have happened? Would the hurricanes have never blown in. Would terrorism not exsist? Would unfair trading ,cost millions of people their jobs. Would healthcare be more affordable? Would the price of gas be lower. I think we all know the answers to these questions. Like it or not the world is the way it is because we have made it this way. We can't put blame on one man. This country has been going in this direction for sooooooo long. Greed. Number one factor. Companies stealing hard working people's pensions. Jobs being sent over seas. Bogus insurance claims that cost us Americans millions of dollars. The picture is so much bigger than one President has to take responsiblity for. What is happening now comes from what has happened in the past. If we look back at Clinton's legacy maybe if he ran the country differently alot of what is happening now may have been stopped. Who know's. I just cannot put blame on this President for all that has gone wrong. It took alot of hands in the pot to create what this country has become.

I think we all know the answers to these questions.

And another Bush apologist

Ah no. I think we all know the answer that you would have to these questions. Gaze into your magic neo-con crystal ball and see if you can come up with the winning lottery numbers while you're at it.

What is happening now comes from what has happened in the past.

A fanciful opinion. Can you back that up with any facts?

It took alot of hands in the pot to create what this country has become

You're right on this point. Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Ashcroft, Rove, Powell. Delay, Frist and the Supreme Court of the United States.

A little early in the evening to be hitting the gin don't you think? Please give us a list of all the successes during the Bush administration. Let's make it easy, can you come up with 10?

If that someone was 8 years old and dropped dead, I'd agree with this point.

Please, Puffy, do tell, how will democrats who have been stonewalling the building to additional refinaries in this country, who want to obstruct the drilling of additional oil in Alaska, who will not permit anymore off shore drilling in Calf, Fla, etc, who want to tax businesses, individuals and confiscate more of your money, going to improve your standard of living and lower energy prices. Energy prices is a function of supply and demand. Its a world market and China and India are consuming more and more oil every day. We had a supply interuption issue. We have limited refinary capacity because the Democrats have not permitted an additional refinary to be built in this country in 30 years, yet demand has gone up. We need oil for plastics, getting goods to market, air travel, etc. Conservation alone will not solve the problem. When you vote democratic, you are voting for more restrictions on the economy, more restrictions on the individual and someone in Washington deciding that they can spend your money better than you. BTW, I see gas prices going down. I filled up for $2.56 yesterday.

You have got to be kidding me. The republicans just passed an "energy bill" that gave MASSIVE tax breaks to the oil companies...would have been a perfect time to put in some legislation addressing those refinaries that you are talking about but did they? NOoooooooo. But they thought it was necessary to pile on a few more heaps of cash to an industry which made 50% profits in ONE QUARTER this year.

And don't try to tell me that the republicans are fiscal "conservatives" - they have spent more money while in power these past 5 years than a bunch of drunken sailors...unfortuately, it's not going to the American people - it's going to members of the "club". And they are trying to steel more of our money (ie., Bu$h's brillant Social Security "Plan" to take that saved income and give it to the investment companies...the very companies that support his administration...duh, it's a plan to steel from us!) And the taxes they do collect have been WASTED. (ie., FEMA, Iraq, No-Bid contracts that over pay to hand picked corporations that are in Bu$h's back pocket, etc...) All that money and none of us are any "safer" - all we've been given as a nation is window dressing, a "show" , to make you feel like your government is actually doing something to keep you "safe". It's a show just like his "town hall meetings where he screens the guests and makes them sign loyalty oaths before letting them in", and his "press confrences where he plants reporters", "and his scripted 'chats' with the troops. What a phony.

How anyone can still support these theives, and bumbling fools is beyond me.

It's called contempt for reality.

While you are at it, be sure to remind us that Oliver North's actions in the Iran/Contra affair were heroism and patriotism at its finest and if we knew the top secret material that your husband divulged to you --- we would then understand his true brilliance.

Both McCain and Gore would have been worlds better.

It is heartening to see that your opinion is rapidly becoming the minority opinion on these boards and in the country

McCain works for me. The whole smear campaign of the Bush camp against McCain was ruthless and sickening.

Actually the house did pass building refinaries, it needs to get through the Senate. With your misrepresentation of the social security plan. No, it doesn't 'give' it to investment companies. It gives the wage earner a choice about how he wants to invest a small 4% portion of their money, that is yes, theirs and can be passed on to whom they see fit. I know that is just a foreign concept for someone who thinks that only the government can tell us how to spend our money.

 

[DawnCt1]

McCain would have made the same decision to go to Iraq and Algore would have invented a weather machine to direct hurricanes to the middle east.

I'm sorry, I really couldn't resist

McCain would have had people outside of cronies to scrutinize the WMD crap. He would have insisted on better intel. Senator McCain trusted that President Bush (and crew) were feeding them reliable intelligence.
