No, I'd rather hear positive comments about Bush and/or his policies. Trouble is, nothing in this thread or elsewhere on FR includes any convincing evidence that there is a positive aspect to Bush's policies on the senseless and never-ending Iraq war, big budget deficits, social security, rising unemployment, and wasteful government spending.
Show me something that Bush has actually done to make life better for me or my children and I'll gladly give him credit for it.
Why is it his responsibility to make your life better????
> I was one of those :)
Me too. My home page is a bit out of date but tells the story of how my eyes were opened.
Excellent article. Thanks for posting. Passing it on to my friends.
Hang in here pal, you're gettin it! ;o)
Bill Bennett looks good on paper, too.
Do you know a worse big government jackass than him?
Glad you like it and will share it. It's the only way we can beat the MSM because they are pushing their agenda to bring this president down for all they are worth.
I guess Bush hasn't made life any better for you or your family either. If one good deed by Bush had popped into your mind surely you would have told me about it.
I'm not depending on Bush to make my life better.. I depend on me to make my life and my family life better.. It is called self reliance.. Besides it is not the responsiblity of this government to make people lives better..
That's odd. During the Clinton-Gore years my family's income increased every year, wars in Europe and Haiti were won with minimal U.S. casualties, and the Republicans still bitched about the Democrats' policies. Now that manufacturing jobs are disappearing, the DJIA is stagnant, a rising budget surplus has turned into a huge deficit, and over 1750 Americans have died in the senseless Iraq war, the Government doesn't have anything to do with making life better for me or my family. Why the double standard?
Fact is that they had nothing to do with the rising economy.. They happen to be there at the right time. The economy was starting to slow down in 2000. As for Hati and Europe we had no business there or national interest. If they had balls to go after Bin Landen we not have been in Iraq right now (by the way it has been our policy since 98 to get rid of Hussein, but Clinton did not had the nads to do it). As for the manufacturing jobs going overseas, what is he suppose to do? Tell companies in how they run business?? At least I get to keep more of MY MONEY... Only thing Bubba is famous for is getting a hinkleman from a fat intern...
yes - and even so, the 9/11 commission had to state "something" like this in a weasily way as part of their primary mission - help defeat Bush for this election cycle. That cycle being over and the mission an utter failure, we can look at the 9/11 raw data as useful while their press releases, whistle-stop tours, and conclusions break wind.
Also if you read the Constitution, there is nothing about making people lives better as one of the roles of Government. Nothing about providing a job, education , health care and god knows what else.
I like how you think!
Uh, Bosnia is still an occupied, dangerous latrine.
Uh, Bosnia is still an occupied, dangerous latrine. And we won't bring up our shining success in Somalia.
I laugh at you MurryMom.
Government nor the president of the United States is the savior of the people.
Is government or the president here to make your life better? Take some responsibility and make your own life better.
And I'll take the FREEDOM that my government and Military allow me and the Iraqi people to have.
Don't forget about Kosovo...
Very timely......
marine_uncle ....here is a good place to start!
New one to me.....now I wonder about the papers that Sandy Berger took!
We'll never know just what Berger was covering up, but it definitely would pertain to the WOT and show how negligent the Clinton administration was in handing the jihadists.
