I found many of the things you listed positive in that I agreed with Bush. Guess I'm not as intelligent and insightful as you thought. actually, you misunderstood what I meant.

I have always supported Bush on the war in Iraq because there is no doubt they had weapons of mass destruction in the form of poison gases (that he used on the Kurds) so it was only logical that they probably had more, especially since the entire western intelligence community reported that they had them. The fact that none were found once we went in doesn't prove or even indicate that Bush lied especially since both Clintons indicated that they believed the weapons were there. However, once we were there it was necessary to finish the job. I don't know what's happening in Afghanistan. I think we should sh*t or get off the pot. Send in enough troops to finish it or leave. Now. The economy is rapidly becoming Obama's baby. When you campaign on a platform of fixing the economy and it continues to deteriorate, when the people can't figure out what you are trying to do, you can only blame the prior administration so long. my only problem with Clinton and Monica was that he put himself in a position that weakened his ability to do his job.

The Democrats that have to run in conservative areas are reluctant to sign on. I can assure you that there are a great many Democrats that would gladly vote liberal on every issue. The Republicans do not try to remove these social programs you are correct on that. They do try to reduce or slash funding at every opportunity but not abolish them. But they did fight against their implementation to start with. They fought against Social Security, Welfare, Medicare, and Medicaid. Reagen starred in a video tape the conservatives were circulating in the sixties to try to defeat the Medicare legislation. Just as now the Republicans are trying to defeat the health care initiative. Once these programs are up and running, and the American people see the clear benefits of them the Republicans know that it is political suicide to try to dismantle them so they attack funding and other aspects in order to weaken the programs rather than attack head on.

Remember, the two wars and the financial crisis were born out of his presidency and we are still dealing with those. So I will continue to reference Bush as his policies are pertinant to the situation we find ourselves in today. What's more, I clearly recall debating with conservatives as recently as 2007 who still made constant referances to Clinton's affair and how "Clinton gave us a black eye". You guys used Clinton for the entire eight years of Bush's Presidency (maybe not you personally) and you expect liberals to forget Bush after eleven months? That would be pretty unfair don't you think? In this particular instance, I refer to Bush just to demonstrate that if you don't like the president you can find endless greivances against him. Most of the items on the list against Bush are water under the bridge, but not all. You cannot get over Bush while his legacy remains.

If they can get a few Republicans to go along they can call the bill bi-partisan and hide from responsibility. Can you tell me when the last time, or any time, that anyone has tried to abolish Social Security, WIC, food stamps, etc. The scare tactics employed by the left during each election since the 70's is that Republicans were going to take these programs away. Yet when they had the opportunity, they never even discussed it in congress. That claim is tired and false, though it seems to work to get the the elderly and the poor to the voting booth, which I guess is the goal. However, you should avoid using it as an argument with thinking people because it just doesn't fly.

The Dems should just steam-roll over the hand full of fat little momma's boys left in the Re-suck-lickin' party. Funny how the last Democrat left office with a budget surplus and a booming economy and when Bush was done we had massive deficits, job loss, two un-paid wars that are at about a trillion dollars and counting, lost billions in tax revenues to help out the affluent, and a weakened constitution in the form of "free speech zones", illegal wire taps, secret prisons, and torture. You're a joke man. How many times and in how many ways do the elitest have to run it up your back side before you will finaly come to terms with the fact that you were tricked? They want money and power and they get it by convincing suckers like you that they are on your side. How? in what way have the Republicans ever helped you? Will they help you by doing away with Social Security? there's going to come a time when you'll live or die by that program. You hate people getting food stamps or welfare? I know personally three people who in the last four years have had to apply for food and cash assistance and all of them are conservatives and vote Republican. Although I myself have been a little more fortunate, thank God there are lots of people like me who fight to preserve those programs so that they can now feed their children in spite of all their efforts. And they're still conservative. They have a complete inability to look at even themselves in an honost light. No doubt that in their minds they ended up on food stamps through no fault of their own. But everyone else, well they're just leeches living off the tax payer's dime. And when my friends are back on their feet, they'll look down their nose and fight to starve someone else's child and I'll still be here stopping them. Thank God you are at once, both stupid and weak, otherwise you might truly damage our society. I agree on the bi-partisanship deal.

If your next door neighbor demanded 1/2 of your front yard at no cost to him, would you negotiate with him and split the difference giving him only a 1/4 of your front yard? That's the Libretards idea of negotiating. We didn’t send them there to negotiate with a bunch of Looney Tune characters……….Time to just say “NO”.
