I'm so glad that you've decided to have your own little made up argument over Jefferson; how precious. But I doubt that you actually know all that much about the man and his presidency. You've yet to refute the accurate facts I have posted about him.
But, still and all, that has NOTHING to do with this thread's topic, which you have embarrassingly ignored utterly.
What a straw man argument. Did I ever claim it was your fault.? No. Quit putting words in my mouth. I simply made an honest mistake and I owned up to it. Period. I merely made a statement regarding my own tiredness. Absolutely no attempt was ever made to assign blame/ or responsibility to anyone else.
Now for a topic we were arguing / discussing: your erroneous claims regarding the amnesty requirements of the '86 Immigration Act. I noticed that you have completely avoided that issue. Well, I guess I would be pretty silent as well if I had been in your position. Don't feel bad, a lot of people still share your misconceptions.
I would like to know all the historians/scholars that would honestly rank Dubya above Jefferson. I can't think of one. I doubt that even Bush's supporters at the Weekly Standard or the National Review would attempt to do so. Bush has made a plethora of mistakes over the past six years : runaway spending, no vetoes, the prescription/Medicare bill, the blatantly unconstitutional CFR, forcing Israel to accept Hamas as part of the Palestinian elections; then winding up with egg all over his face when Hamas won big, failing to secure our nation' borders immediately following 9/11 ( so he wouldn't be in the position that he is in now regarding immigration reform), the Harriet Miers fiasco (thank God the right wingers stood up to him). I could go on, but you get the picture.
I truly do hope he does turn it around, I do believe he is capable of that. I give him credit where it is due and I give criticism where it is due. Nothing more, nothing less.
