And Joey wonders why there is division in this country.

Normally I do side with the Conservatives just as I did with the recent Supreme Court debacle.

However, I hate the puppet GWB because he has fed us a pack of lies.

Owned, my ass.

The guy has done a fantastic job in office, all the while keeping the bad guys at bay. Who would have thought we would go 4 years without another hit. Give the guy some credit. You guys can't be filled with all hate. Even I liked Clinton for some of the things he did.
 
you're right I will give him some credit. Going to Afganistan and dismantling the Taliban was the right thing to do, thats where the terrorists were. I would also like to give congress credit for not renewing the assault weapons ban. So,rightly speaking, is there anything that bush has done wrong?
 
thamarkman said:

I'll pardon the pun. Seeing as how the left is so good at criticizing Bush, why do you spell out all the things he has done wrong? I'd be happy to debate those item by item.
 
Ok, I've got a question for you, how long do you think this country can sustain cutting taxes while spending significantly more than it takes in? I think bush has vetoed 1 spending bill since he's been in office.

Yeah, I think he hasn't fought the liberal hate agenda tooth and nail as hard as I'd like him to.

And to add on to your statement about the Taliban: Hello, wake up everybody, the terrorists aren't there anymore, they are in Iraq!!! That's why we're STILL FIGHTING! It's a war! Doesn't anybody read history anymore? Wars often continue on different pieces of ground called fronts. The current front in the war on terror is IRAQ.

You didn't study supply side economics in college, did you? And, by the way, Congress enacts spending bills, not the president. He only signs or vetoes them.
 
thamarkman said:
I studied economics and what bush is doing can not go on forever.

So what? Should we lay down our arms and try to kiss up to the terrorists like Spain did, and bow down to their wishes then? What choice do we have but to defeat an enemy who has attacked our innocent citizens in an unprovoked assault?

Barry you're Great, Bush has absolutely no credibility with the American people, only those right wing wackos whos minds are clouded with lies. And besides, anyone with a convertable Mark II can't be wrong.

But really I'm kind of surprised, stereotypically I figured anyone with enough money to have a Mark II like that would be a friend to Republicans. You just go to show that brains matter more than money. I'm with ya.

I bet John Kerry's wife has enough money for her husband to afford a Mark II.

Like I said, he did a good job in Afganistan, but it pretty much ends there.

No, it hasn't ended yet, that's what you guys don't get. The war on terror is still going on.

Note the area in gray where Republicans have been in control of Congress. Then also note the year 2001 when 9/11 happened. Also note that the Country was falling into recession in 2000 when Clinton was leaving office and Bush was coming in. Expenditures in the wars in Iraq and Afganistan, coupled with spending for homeland security all weigh heavily on the budget. Give it some time. The ecomony is growing at 4% per quarter, 3,000,000 new jobs in the last 2 years. Things are looking good, despite the fact that the world demand on fossil fuel has driven the price of gas up to nearly $2.50/gallon. You're in the right hands with the 'adults' in charge of things.

This just illustrates that libs chime in with ridiculous claims (i.e. Bush is a liar, he hasn't vetoed more than one spending bill) without any facts to back them up. They are obviously using talking points given to them by the shrill siren of the media who is trumpeting whatever Dick Durbin or Nancy Pelosi are currently screeching about.
 
Somebody been listening to Rush? I hear a Rush echo.
 
Plenty of libs listen to Rush but you would NEVER get them to admit it. Listening to a lib on the radio, well.... what's the point, nobody wants to listen to a lib on the radio, not even libs evidently.
 
When driving my Mark II I often listen to Rush. It only has an AM radio. That's how I recognize your lines. From Rush's mouth to our screen. Don't you have anything original to say?

EXCUSE ME, you are the one that needs to wake up. First of all, Shrub diverted funds from Afghanistan for his build up for Iraq(Some say illegally, still being investigated). Secondly, he did not finish the job in Afghanistan, the taliban and Al quida are on the upswing evidenced by the downing of that helicopter with 16-17 troops on board killed along with the missing seal team this past week.
He's turned Iraq into a terrorist training ground that rivals Afghanistan during the Aghan-Soviet war.

Big Whoop!! You can compile an equally "impressive" list of accomplishments for any previous administration. The fact of the matter is that Shrubs Environmental and Energy bills have been shaped by industry, not by true concern for the well being of the environment or the energy consuming public. He has more "foxes guarding the hen house" than any other administration in history. And a lot of things you list on there are nothing more than fluff.
