I would love to hear an actual intellectual arguement from a liberal, based on real thoughts, common sense, and facts. Those far, it hasn't happened. The only arguements I hear are hate filled propagandist conspiracy theories.
here is a small note to keep in mind for JD
Let's set the record straight, because politicians and propaganda followers may lie and be decieved, but facts don't lie. Bush inherited a deficiet. That 6 trillion check wasn't Bush's fault (no mater how much people try and use him as the scape goat for all things bad). After the internet bubble popped our economy fell pretty hard. Clinton can't take credit for the prosperity that Reagan created and Bush Sr sustained(but didn't grow). But he can take credit for
1. A failed healthcare plan that confused even the experts (oh wait, he put Hillary in charge of that), but he still gets credit for it.
2. Improved relations with China (the country that has extreme human rights violations) yes, instead of giving India our business let's give it to the communists
3. Cutting the military budget and rearranging our intelligence agencies into ineptitude.
4. Passing on Osama when he was in his grasp. Clinton could had the opportunity (all he had to do was say "ok" to take out Osama, but it's not like he was really a threat)
5. Everyone outside of the military seems to forget the wars(aka peacekeeping operations) that we fought during clintons years. Never has a president continually tied the militaries fists behind their backs. See "Black Hawk Down" for a good example. As far as Commander and Chief of the military he was an utter failure.
6. Social Security- name one thing that he did to improve it?...yeah, me neither.
7. Economy- just as every president we have ever had he inherited the economy from the president before him. It takes many years for the economy to fully shift from the policies the president had inacted (come on people, this is common sense here). Unless they do something like Bush did during our recession and send out checks to everyone. Clinton raised taxes, increased welfare, and performed the same basic socialist actions the Democrats have become known for. Clinton can take credit for the internet bubble if he wants too, heck,Gore takes credit for the internet so why not. But like all bubbles, it eventually popped(it actually popped right as he was leaving). And if you believe that Bush did something during the first three months of his term (the time the recension started) then I have some time share property I want to sell you.
8. Integrity. I don't even have to bring up the several incidents that happened during his term and even up to the his very last days in office. We all know them. And the fact that I can say so much without saying it should tell you something. Even blindly loyal Democrats know that Clinton and Integrity do not fit well in the same sentence and they know why.
You can make accusations against Bush, but every single one of them is unfounded or conspiracy theory. If they weren't you don't think the army of Democratic Senators would be able to impeach Bush. No. They haven't impeached, because they have nothing to impeach him on. They would love to find something, but like him or not, his integrity has withstood Democrats who are lusting at the chance to charge him with anything. Clinton made history and was almost impeached. A model Democrat? A model American?
9. Environment- The Democrat stapple. You would think their would be a great difference between the two, but sadly their isn't. Both have been soundly common sense environmentalists (protecting the environment but using its resources).
It appears to me that most Democrats are not really Democrats at all, they are just anti-Republican. I have yet to hear any new ideas come out of that party, just theories of why the Republicans ideas are wrong. And I have yet to see any real heroes rising up in that party, just individuals who are able to sling mud in a more sophisticated way. Find a new way to bash Bush, win a prize. The Democratic party has ceased to be a party of hope and optimism. Instead they have spent their resources and time on attacking one individual. Has it worked. Yes and no. Obviously their are many who blindly hate that individual and blame him for even unrelated problems.(for more information on what I'm talking about, look up the definition of propaganda). But with all of those resources and all of that time spent on hating that one individual, what has it gotten them? Has it improved the country or made it more devisive? Well, if you can't be the Party of Ideas, then be the party of hate- there are plenty of people that it appeals to.
Why the blind-hatered against Bush? Because Democratic politicians have worked hard to achieve it. Parties generally follow their leaders. It's the same way on both sides. And before the Bush-haters came about, politicians were working to get the momentum going. Now its going strong. The funny thing is that all of that energy spent using one individual as the representitive target will now be wasted in two years.
The Democratic party has proven itself to be the party of pessimism through its rhetoric. I have made this decision after reading many books on both sides. From Moore to Limbaugh I have found the common difference between the parties to be a conflict of pessimism verses optimism. And pessimists always make poor entrepeneurs and leaders.
I am cureous though? What would the Democrats how done about the terrorists? If their voting records are any sign, they would have done the exact same thing Bush would have done. Bash Bush all you like, but don't forget to include about every single Democrat politician into your bashing or consider yourself a bigoted hypocrite. And just to clear things up, Bush made about the same grades as Gore and Kerry did in college. Look it up for yourself and you will be unpleasently surprised. Everytime you call Bush an idiot, please say "baah, baah," at the end of it, because you were taught to say that and you do not say it from facts you have discovered. In all actuality, the idiot card has been played on about every other president that has held the office, but sadly we americans are forgetful of this fact and take up the montra with every other office. We just like to feel we know something about politics and love to voice a complaint, without being specific, because that would require REAL knowledge. It's just simplier. Baah.
At the end of the day I will elect a pot smoking drunk rather then a pot smoking nancy liberal. Bush and Kerry made the same grades, the real difference is that one of the has a back bone and is able to make the tough decisions to fight terrorism. And that is also why the overwhelming majority of the military votes conservative. When the chips are down, no one intelligent bets on the liberal to defend this nation.
But since JD had enough guts to repost glibe information that he probably took from another website, lets look at the propaganda and pointless points to see where it goes.
----------------------------------------------------------
Heres Some FACTS Light Bringer-
(Note: I already brought the light, you just kept your eyes shut)
The Resume of George W. Bush
George W. Bush
The White House, USA
( SO as you can see we are already off to a bad start. This guy is already lieing to us. This is not the complete resume of Dubya. No, this is his version and he attempts to present it as fact. This is how the brainwashed view the world. They refuse to tell you which parts are their opinion and which parts are fact, sadly because they don't know the difference, but let's move on)
EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:
LAW ENFORCEMENT:
--I was arrested in Kennebunkport, Maine, in 1976 for driving under the influence of alcohol.
(Definately true. And lets be honest, there is probably a whole lot of crap that he also did that he DIDNT get busted for. But if JD had any integrity he would have also brough up the record of both sides of the house. What, Clinton was clean??? Oh, wait, your right, he didn't inhale. And what about Chapaquitic Kennedy??? I guess leaving a girl in the car to drown doesn't really rile up the liberal mind. Let please be honest, if we kicked out every politician for screwing up in their younger years then we wouldn't have a government, not now and not ever.
--I pled guilty, paid a fine, and had my driver's license suspended for 30 days.
My Texas driving record has been "lost" and is not available.
(See the statement above, it pretty much covers it. And if you want to get pissed off over a power play to cover up a driving record then you should have also screamed about Kennedy rigging the NATIONAL election in Chicago, and not to mention what Johnson did with Texas politics. Dirty things happen across the board. That doesn't excuse it for either side, but you can't point fingers at one and excuse the other, that would be a little to unfair and simple minded of you.)
MILITARY:
--I joined the Texas Air National Guard and went AWOL. I refused to take a drug test or answer any questions about my drug use. By joining the Texas Air National Guard, I was able to avoid combat duty in Vietnam.
(Yes, like most young men with whose parents had any influence. And yes, again, we know he did drugs. But, please face the facts, the two guys who didn't do drugs in the 60's didn't run for office.
Here again integrity demands that you show both sides. If your going to point the finger at the bad people, don't just select the ones you don't like. Clinton not only dodged the draft-something that you seem to ignore, yet excuse by silence, but he actually was a protester. So at least Bush supported his country. Bill can't claim that.)
COLLEGE:
--I graduated from Yale University with a low C average.
I was a cheerleader.
(Yeah, a C average is pretty, well, average. Average enough for Kerry too. Actually, Bush did better then Kerry, but lets just ignore that as usual.
Gee, when you look at Bush without comparing him to his candidates, it seems easy to attack him, but when you compare him to the candidates you vote for, it is a little more difficult.)
PAST WORK EXPERIENCE:
--I ran for U.S. Congress and lost.
(Wow, is this Abraham Lincoln or Bush. Wait, how many presidents have lost elections? A whole lot. Most good politicians lose a few elections and one even lost a few battles - G.W. #1. You fail to leave out the elections that he won though, one against an incumbent, one against a vice president, and one against another liberal. Two terms in the White House. If he wasn't a successful president it would have only been one.)
--I began my career in the oil business in Midland, Texas, in 1975. I bought an oil company, but couldn't find any oil in Texas. The company went bankrupt shortly after I sold all my stock.
(Gee, let me think. Jefferson and Truman are just at the top of my head right now, but if you want to short him for a failed business, go ahead and through him into the pack of great Presidents who had trouble with their FIRST business. Most first time businesses fail. But, lets see how his next business venture did...)
--I bought the Texas Rangers baseball team in a sweetheart deal that took land using taxpayer money.
(Ah, yes. Let's call it a sweetheart deal instead of a GREAT BUSINESS MOVE. Nolan Freakin Ryan. See people, it is all in how they twist things. A failed first business gets how many lines and a genius business move gets two lines and gets accredited as a sweetheart deal. And as far as the the second half, if he did something that was criminal he would have been prosecuted. By this time there were enough liberals who hated his father, that if he did something crooked the press would have been all over it. Innocent until proven guilty... not in a liberals eyes. If they think something might (even if there is the smallest chance) of being a shady deal, they charge it as 100% infallible proof. And they never question it, unless its against Clinton, because that guy is totally innocent.
Do you see the problem with the idealogy here? Lets move on)
--With the help of my father and our right-wing friends in the oil industry (including Enron CEO Ken Lay), I was elected governor of Texas.
(And now we begin name dropping, but only to a point. The reason the press didn't take Enron's political connections to a higher degree is because both sides were so shady it was ridiculous. Can you fault any politician for taking businesses donations. No more then you can fault them for taking yours. But once again JD leaves out the other politicians who recieved money from Enron.
here is just one list of contributions to the other side:
www.freerepublic.com/focus/fr/606232/posts
and from this website we have a quote
http://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,338580,00.html
"Documents obtained by TIME show the energy giant enjoyed much closer ties with Clinton Administration regulators than was generally known. Long before Cheney's task force met with Enron officials and included their ideas in Bush's energy plan, Clinton's energy team was doing much the same thing. Drafting a 1995 plan to help facilitate cash flow and credit for energy producers, it asked for Enron's input—and listened. The staff was directed to "rework the proposal to take into account the specific comments and suggestions you made," Clinton Deputy Energy Secretary Bill White wrote an Enron official."
Again JD paints a very onesided picture. Any time people show just one side of things it is propaganda. But, please don't be angry, because I really do believe that most of the time they just don't know better. They have been so brainwashed into thinking that this is how politics should be done, they just follow suit. The ones really to blame are the liberal party leaders and the hate-rhetoric they have been preaching for some time.)
ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF TEXAS:
(Ok, again prepare yourself for more onesided mudslinging. Here it comes...)
--I changed Texas pollution laws to favor power and oil companies, making Texas the most polluted state in the Union.
(Ok, get a shovel because it is already piling on quick. The two states that have giant populations booms right now are California and Texas, with Texas having an industry boom since the seventies.(I am sure JD didn't know this so I won't fault him for ignorance, just for speaking while ignorant. Next, Bush was just the govenor of Texas. In Texas the lawmakers pass the bills and change the laws, not the governor. The govenor can veto, but that is about it.
This is not some conservative lie. This is a fact. Look it up. Look up texas politics. Again the ignorance speaks loudy and as long as no one uses common sense then it will go uninterrupted.)
During my tenure, Houston replaced Los Angeles as the most smog-ridden city in America.
(Again, industry explosion due to low cost land. For some compainies the profits the made in selling their high priced New York real estate and moving to Texas equalled a years worth of profits. Unemployement dramatically lowered in Texas as well. This was happening before Bush took office and at any time the Democratic govenor could have done... nothing as well. Yes, that's right, nothing. Because Texas govenors have the amazing power of suggestion and the power to veto. Now, he did support cleaning up the environment, but funny how liberals do not seem to keep track of that. Ah, well, let's move on to the next fun point.)
--I cut taxes and bankrupted the Texas treasury to the tune of billions in borrowed money.
(Wow, now my friend is getting creative. And when I say creative, I mean telling lies. No, Texas is not bankrupt. Don't worry the bank isn't going to try and reposses the state. What the author did is what we call an 'exaggeration' or what other truth lovers might call ' a lie'.
Did he work to cut taxes? Yes. And everyone who was not a socialist loved him for it. Some are for big socialistic governments, conservatives are not. He said he would cut taxes, and unlike Democrat candidates, HE DID. Did it bankrupt the state. No. Did the state borrow money. Not higher then the nation average per pop. Compared to other states (all populations being equal) Texas did about the same, marginally well when compared to the amount of growth it has experienced and continues to experience.
Now please place that into the context of the population boom and the massive urban growth Texas was and continues to experience. It is amazing what happens when you provide information to accusations. Then some how they magically make sense. Bush wasn't going around and borrowing money, Texas was. Govenors don't get to do that, law makers, again, make the decisions.)
--I set the record for the most executions by any governor in American history.
(I know that some people like to side with the murders and serial rapists. But, in Texas, they are tough on crime. As a general rule, if you kill somebody, they will kill you back. If you don't like it, don't kill somebody in Texas, go to a liberal state.)
--With the help of my brother, the governor of Florida, and my father's appointments to the Supreme Court, I became President after losing by over 500,000 votes.
(Again the only way you can believe this is to abandon common sense and actual facts. If there was even a shred of truth, Gore would not have folded. Bush won. And in the next election he won with a great amount of the popular vote(possible because they allowed all of the military votes to come in this time and be counted. Thank you for this, because I like my votes counting)
ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS PRESIDENT:
--I am the first President in U.S. history to enter office with a criminal record.
(Has anyone else forgotten about Clinton getting impeached, or is it JD. It's like comparing a tooth pick to a Redwood forest, but again as long as you look at things with a one sided perspective, then it seems to work out. History will forget about the things Bush did when he was young, but the impeachment and scandal will always be remembered, not just as a mark against Clinton, but as a mark agaisnt Americas integrity. How you feel about that event says a lot about how you view integrity and honesty.)
--I invaded and occupied two countries at a continuing cost of over one billion dollars per week.
(Your right, You are so right. Lets open back up those rape rooms. Heck lets give Saddam his job back and give the terrorists back their guns.
Again this shows a great divide between liberals and conservatives. Where this see the cost, we see liberty. Where they see problems, we see solutions.
They took two towers. We liberated two countries that brutalized women and squished any dissenting voices. Now democracy has a chance to flurish and for the first time the people in the middle east have actually been allowed to vote for their leaders. This is not only remarkable, this will change the world for the better and affect future generation in a positive way.
Inaction in the face of problems and threats is never the wisest solution, no matter how much liberals cry. To fight terrorist you cannot play defensive and shell up. You have to attackt them where they are at and this has to be done for as long as it takes. I know action is a difficult rought and appeasement of terrorist might be preffered by some, but I feel that spreading liberty into the heart of totalitarian countries that spread such hate propaganda is the best weapon. When liberty is allowed to reign, such radical and illogical idealogies cannot exist. They falter when common sense is allowed to spread and when justice and liberty are demanded. What would the liberal response have been? Do you even have to ask? You know the answer. And the fact that I can tell you the answer without even saying it shows you something. In the back of your mind you already know the answer and we all know the answer.
And besides. two dissenting votes from democrats? You don't disagree with Bush, you disagree with our whole government. At least he can stick to what he starts and he doesn't bend over when things get tough. )
--I spent the U.S. surplus and effectively bankrupted the U.S. Treasury.
(Again my friend is exaggerating.-note: he likes to do that.
But don't fear, let me relieve you from this propagandist lie. We are not bankrupt. In truth their never was as surpulus. That is like a person who is in 6trillion dollars debt saying he just found a hundred dollars and now has a surplus. No, the debt we have, Bush inherited (along with Clinton recesion- it started 3 months before clinton left office, it was very much his). To fix the reciesion Bush gave back money to the people. To spur finacial growth he cut taxes. At least he keeps his promises and understands our economy (which is still experiencing growth). Anyone who is honest has to admit that there are a lot more green arrows then red arrows at the stock exchanges. Business is doing good. We are having great job growth under this president. But any ignorant person bull headed enough can ignore facts. Do with it what you like.)
--I shattered the record for the largest annual deficit in U.S. history.
(He didn't start the avalanche. Clinton didn't do anything to stop it. But some how you want to blame it on him. Believe me, he is at fault, just as much as the presidents before him when it started. If your going to point the finger, you can't just point it at one. - why do I have to repeat myself?)
--I set an economic record for most private bankruptcies filed in any 12-month period.
(Oh, yeah. That is right. And why so many bankrupties??? You left that out didn't ya. Scared to tell the whole truth on this, aren't ya?
Bush inacted bankruptcy reform that made it harder for people to claim bankruptcies. There were many people who were jacking up their debts, buying tons of crap, and then jumping into bankruptcies to hide their possessions. Before this became law, hordes of tacky people hurried up and jumped into backruptcy.
Now maybe some liberals liked the old bankruptcy laws. I prefer it being harder to go bankrupt and dodge the people you owe money to. But, that's just conservatives.)
--I set the all-time record for most foreclosures in a 12-month period.--I set the all-time record for the biggest drop in the history of the U.S. stock market.--In my first year in office, over 2 million Americans lost their jobs and that trend continues every month.
(Thank Clinton for the recession that started in his term. Not everybody cleans up their house before somebody else moves in. And sometimes it takes a very long while to clean up the former owners mess. But again disregard facts and common sense, if you do you will sound smart too liberals.)
--I'm proud that the members of my cabinet are the richest of any administration in U.S. history. My "poorest millionaire," Condoleeza Rice, has a Chevron oil tanker named after her.
(He could have found poor people off the street to elect into the cabinet. Would that make you feel better?
This is what is know as "class hatred". They are poor/rich therefore they must be lazy/evil. Please keep in mind that every socialist/communist country has used this idealogy to gain power. Please keep in mind that the overwhelming majority of Americans who are rich put forth an overwhelming amount of hard work to be so. To assume that they are inherinitely evil is not only a sign of your own bigotry, but it would require a great absence of thought that could only come from a mind that has long since committed mental atrophy.)
--I set the record for most campaign fund-raising trips by a U.S. President.
(again, hard work is scorned by liberals.)
--I am the all-time U.S. and world record-holder for receiving the most corporate campaign donations.
My largest lifetime campaign contributor, and one of my best friends, Kenneth Lay, presided over the largest corporate bankruptcy fraud in U.S. History, Enron.
My political party used Enron private jets and corporate attorneys to assure my success with the U.S. Supreme Court during my election decision.
I have protected my friends at Enron and Halliburton against investigation or prosecution.
More time and money was spent investigating the Monica Lewinsky affair than has been spent investigating one of the biggest corporate rip-offs in history.
(first lets also note that the majority of Republican fund raising money came from middle class donations. Democrats had a lower percentage of middle class donations. The Kennith Lay piece is bull crap, but I have had to explain so much already. Oh, well, lets continue. If there was a shread of evidence that there was a cover up, then Bush would have been impeached. Despite liberals hunting for such evidence, they never found any. To assume someone is guilty without any evidence is plain bigotry (go look up the definition, it will make you smarter.And the reason more was spent on Clinton was BECAUSE HE LIED. That is a public disgrace and you should be ashamed for defending him.)
--I presided over the biggest energy crisis in U.S. history and refused to intervene when corruption involving the oil industry was revealed.
(Thank the liberals for the energy crisis. Unlike our democrat friends, we believe that energy actual has to be...CREATED. You like driving cars, but we should drill for oil. You like using computers, but you won't allow more nuclear power for the energy we need. It is the democrats faults for the energy crisis, and this should be evident except to the most dimwitted. Until we create new sources of energy(which we should heavily fund the research) we have to use the cleanest safest forms of energy. Sadly, right now that is nuclear power. I know science is scary, but nuclear power is our best option right now. If you don't like option, then stop being a hypocrite. Get off the computer you are using because it is probably being fulled by nuclear power right now. Go ahead. .. Turn it off...
Ok then you hypocrite, stop whinning then!)
--I presided over the highest gasoline prices in U.S. history.
(Gee, and the shortage that happened under Carter was better. At least we have gas. Some how you don't see the connection between the presidents desire to remove our depency on foriegn oil and the high gas prices. But of course democrats have fought tooth and nail to keep this from happening, because it might affect the sex life of alaskan caribou. You can't have it both ways, except in fantasy land where energy is free.)
--I changed the U.S. policy to allow convicted criminals to be awarded government contracts.
(Just because he didn't veto doesn't mean democrats didn't vote for it. Point the finger at them all.)
--I appointed more convicted criminals to administration than any President in U.S. history.
(I would love to see where you pulled this fact from. Sorry if I don't believe you, but I have had to swim through a sea of crap just to get to this question. Excuse me if I don't assume it is just more of the same.)
--I created the Ministry of Homeland Security, the largest bureaucracy in the history of the United States government.
(No, several divided bureacracies were combined to reduce redundancy. Some liberals like redundancy and I apologize that you have hurt feelings about this. Just fill out the seventry two forms necessary to file a complaint -as in the old method- and we will see what we can do.)
--I've broken more international treaties than any President in U.S. history.
(Attacking Iraq and working towards a missle DEFENSE shield. Gee, I know you prefered the terrorists and Saddam in power, and anyone being able to launch a nuke at us, but lets just try this out for a little bit to see what its like. If it doesn't work out then we will try your plan, which is...no missle defense shield.)
--I am the first President in U.S. history to have the United Nations remove the U.S. from the Human Rights Commission.
(And instate Cuba, a known human rights violator. Do you really take this serious. Its like I've taken crazy pills and I'm reading some of this stuff. You chose to leave out the best parts. Gee, I wonder why. I bet it would be pretty hard to prove your points if all of the informations was give.)
--I withdrew the U.S. from the World Court of Law.
--I refused to allow inspectors access to U.S. "prisoners of war" detainees and thereby have refused to abide by the Geneva Convention.
--I am the first President in history to refuse United Nations election inspectors (during the 2002 U.S. election).
(Lets deal with these three together for the sake of time. The U.S. acted after 14 threats were made. After the majority of powerful countries SAID that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. I know that some would have preffered 248 more threats, but darn it, at some point its not a threat any longer, its just a joke. And in truth, the U.N. wouldn't have acted if the U.S. was going to be the cheif player in the war. And so what was the difference. Frace and Germany didn't send their soldiers. Gee. Darn. Those two hundred guys would have been a big help after we armned them and taught them how to shoot. You really don't have to give liberals a reason to cry about something. They will find one. Lets be honest, a 1000 resolutions would not have been enough for some people. And some times you have to buck up and do what's right whether others are willing to back you or not. And let's not even talk about the OIL deals that existed between.... guess..... no, go on, guess... yes, thats right, France, Germany, and Russia. Gee, I wonder why they didn't want to go to war.)
--I set the record for fewest number of press conferences of any President since the advent of television.
(Let me cry about this for a second.)
--I set the the all-time record for most days on vacation in any one-year period.
(First, he is capable of working form his ranch. Sorry if you consider location a necessity to work, even with todays technologies.)
After taking off the entire month of August, I presided over the worst security failure in U.S. history. I garnered the most sympathy for the U.S. after the World Trade Center attacks and less than a year later made the U.S. the most hated country in the world, the largest failure of diplomacy in world history.
(Worst security failure in history? Really? What about having Osama Bin Laden on a silver tray and then turn his capture down, like Clinton. I would consider that blunder just a wee bit worse, wouldn't you.)
--I have set the all-time record for most people worldwide to simultaneously protest me in public venues (15 million people), shattering the record for protest against any person in the history of mankind.
(We have the largest populations since history began, so stop the "all-time record" crap. And no, America and globalization is not popular. Is that Bush's fault. Yes, I would say impart, because he has taken Americas interest before others, unlike Clinton. And it is mostly Americas fault for being so successful and powerful. That is where most of the blame rests. You cannot be king of the mountain and be loved. So either choose success of choose popularity, because as long as other powers want to pass us up, both will not happen. Deal with it.)
--I am the first President in U.S. history to order an unprovoked, pre-emptive attack and the military occupation of a sovereign nation. I did so against the will of the United Nations, the majority of U.S. citizens, and the world community.
(I call bull crap! Did you see it guys. Look, read it again.
The majority of US citizens supported it, as well as the senate and congress. And you seem to forget about the countries that did support the action. But please just reread what I said concerning this a few questions above.)
--I have cut health care benefits for war veterans and support a cut in duty benefits for active duty troops and their families -- in wartime.
(He didn't cut, but he didn't veto. Blame the one and blame the all. Our leaders messed up on this one. Each one carries this load.)
--In my State of the Union Address, I lied about our reasons for attacking Iraq, then blamed the lies on our British friends.
(No, you assumed he lied. Show me your exact proof that he lied. What would you have done if the intelligence community from every single major power in the world gave you information. Would you believe it? Well guess what, you did, and you still do. You regularily believe the information the intelligence community gives you. You can only fault him if you make a great assumption and throw common sense out the window.)
--I am the first President in history to have a majority of Europeans (71%) view my presidency as the biggest threat to world peace and security. I am supporting development of a nuclear "Tactical bunker Buster," a WMD.
(He is also the first president to pursue the interests of this nation with vigor. Again, see a related answer above.
And as far as the weapons. Well, the tactical spit-wads weren't working very well so we decided to up are arsenal. Sorry if you don't like a strong military, but us soldiers are mighty happy being able to defend people like yourself, so I guess we will keep our toys!!!)
--I have so far failed to fulfill my pledge to bring Osama Bin Laden.
(He wouldn't have had to make this pledge if Clinton had just said "Okay, kill him.")
RECORDS AND REFERENCES:
--All records of my tenure as governor of Texas are now in my father's library, sealed and unavailable for public view. --All records of SEC investigations into my insider trading and my bankrupt companies are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view. --All records or minutes from meetings that I, or my Vice-President, attended regarding public energy policy are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view.
(If you only compared this to half the crap Clinton pulled, then you wouldn't be able to make a sound. Honestly look at the scandals Clinton pulled, even just the ones before he left office, those would surely be enough to drop your jaw. But guess, what, those documents that Bush sealed, he is allowed to seal them. He didn't break any laws. If you don't like it, then change the law and remove the personal privacy laws that are in place.
Again we come to a great divide. This liberal is more concerned with what Bush has legally done, then he is concerned with was Clinton illegaly did.
"Clinton's Purgery, eh, its not so bad. Now Bush keeping his private document private, now theres a scandal."
This is a pathetic stew of bigorty, hypocrasy, and one sided narrow mindedness. Even an ounce of integrity would not allow you to make these accusations. But as it stands I have covered everyone. And with all honesty, I have admitted where Bush was at fault. He is not perfect. No president ever has been. But he is a heck of a lot better then the people liberals trumpet. His problems where no where near as scandoulous and embaracing as the democrat who stood before him.
These accusations have been absent of any consideration of integrity or common sense. They have been one sided and almost always absent the critical informatoin necessary for making an inteligent decision. When we shed just a little bit of light on it, we see how weak it really stands. Next time, come with facts, not weak conspiracy theories and propaganda. Come with common sense. Come with principles. But more then anything, the next time you step up, come with INTEGRITY. You have only insulted yourself and your character by making such weak, idiotic accusations. I beleive you are probably a good person, who has just been mislead. You probably copied and pasted these statements from another website. Here is my suggestion.
Take the lightbringer challenge. This is for everybody on both sides of the house. Before you speak concerning political matters, read 20 books over politics. Read 10 from conservatives and 10 from liberals. Read Chompsky, Ann Coulter, Michael Moore, and Rush Limbaugh. And for a neat perspective, read Larry Elders, "Ten things you can't say in America". Don't assume you understand the othersides arguement, really give it a chance. After you have really considered both sides, then decided. But please be able to articulate your beliefs based on a real political philosphy. Not just party talking points. Intelligent people will laugh at you when you do this. I am giving you fair warning, don't be that guy.
Wise peolpe learn and then speak. Read and be wise.
And if you think twenty books is too much, then you have more things to worry about then politics. But, don't fret. The more you read the faster it goes. Work at it and soon you will be able to champion your passions and beliefs with vigor and knowlegde. Work hard to give back to this country, it will be one of the best investments you ever make.
NOTE: And please note JD. Don't ever try and sell your propaganda as fact. You only make yourself look like a fool when people really do know what the facts are.
Your liberal buddies opinions are not FACTS, no matter how much you believe them. Use a little common sense next time you try and label something. And to be on the safe side, just state it as your opinion.
We all need to work together to make this country a better place. With a little bit of honesty and common sense we can do it.
Godspeed
