While Bush Fights for America, Democrats Fight Bush by Seth Swirsky

November 22, 2007

The Democrats’ personal hatred towards President Bush – in light of the objective successes of his presidency – make clear the sad fact that they would rather see America fail if that failure made the president look bad.

The most urgent question after 9/11 was when we’d be hit again, not if. In over six-and-a-half years, much to the president’s credit, we’ve been kept safe – as in zero attacks against our homeland. When Democrats try to tell us why we shouldn’t applaud this obvious, major success for the American people, they reveal that their seething anger trumps the happiness they should feel. Is there any doubt that if one person had died in a terror attack since 9/11, the Democrats would have mercilessly taken Mr. Bush to task?

While Bush fights for America to be safer, the Democrats fight Bush.

Throughout the vast majority of time President Bush has been in office, the stock market has climbed to never-before-seen heights, unemployment has remained historically low, as have inflation and interest rates. What president wouldn’t want those numbers? Yet, the New York Times didn’t write a front-page article last week when a government report told us that 166,000 new jobs had been created.

But, they did write five front-page stories on the five days the stock market took larger than 100-point tumbles. Which again makes obvious that Democrats revel more in bad news if it makes the president look bad than in the good news that their fellow citizens, across the board, are doing better economically.

While Bush fights for the economic health of our people, the Democrats fight Bush.

We’re in a difficult battle in Iraq. There is plenty of room for honest debate about the merits concerning the administrations actions post 9/11 in Iraq. But, when it’s abundantly clear that the president’s “surge” strategy has been stunningly effective – to the point of turning the war around in our favor – you would think the Democrats would hail that victory.

But, no! Because the “surge” could make the president look wise, and in Democrat circles, that’s the ultimate no-no.

While the president fights to beat al-Qaeda and the spread of Islamofascism in Iraq and Afghanistan, Democrats fight Bush.

I was a liberal for the first 41 years of my life, jettisoning the Democrat Party after I saw the visionless response to 9/11 by the left. The rooting against the president that is the Democrats’ de facto policy (just ask Dianne Feinstein and Joe Lieberman) in the face of the numerous victories he has given our country, makes me surer than ever that I made the right decision.

The driving force of the Democratic Party, more than liberal or socialist ideas in these 8 years has most assuredly been the hatred of one man and the drive to make him seem a failure.

It is true that on some issues the President has not needed anyone help to look bad ... he has made some wrong decisions. However that overwhelming vitriolic from Dems I think may be unprecedented.

[Old Sarge]

This Seth guy seems well-read.

It’s a pity that he will be blacklisted after this.

I have heard it said that our young college students should actually join the Democratic Party. Then, when they get out of school, they will have a full understanding of what they are all about. After that, they will leave the Democrats and join this country and promote it. Democrats today are socialists and they are totally power hungry. They will raise our taxes beyond belief if they get control of the Oval Office and Congress. By raising taxes, they don’t want the money, they want to take control of our lives. Without money, the Democrats have no control of the people.

..vitriolic from Dems I think may be unprecedented... President Lincoln suffer similar attacks:

• “Our President has lied to us.”
• “He has falsely led us into this war.”
• “He has abused our civil rights.”
• “He has exceeded his Presidential powers.”
• “Americans are dying because of this war that should have never been fought.”

Criticism of our President(s)

Joe Lieberman made this point a couple of weeks ago. That Democrats are more interested in defeating George W. Bush than defeating the nation’s enemies.

"... to the point of turning the war around in our favor ..."

The war was always in our favor, it just didn't appear so because of the media, among other things.

[ANGGAPO]

It would appear that a few (or more) of the Democrats are getting close to Treason in their Bush bashing. Sooner rather than later someone is going to call a few of them on that subject.

[Neoliberalnot]

Yep, that is what the dems do best, undermine the country in order to capture more power for the RAT party.

[Mike Darancette]

Saw a “news” story on NBC this morning where the showed a general talking while the news reader said the general agrees that the troops should come home. Why couldn’t we hear the general say it? The press will say sometime next week that the General says he was misquoted.

Don't forget the right trash traitor park ego-cons.

I caught it...it was brilliant...he said that the Dims are more perturbed about the President's response to Iran killing our troops in Iraq, than they are about the fact that Iran is killing our troops in Iraq. Too bad that Lieberman ONLY gets it on the war...and yet look at what the Left did to him.

[lilylangtree]

While I disagree with the prez on some stances he has taken, overall, he’s done a fantastic job without receiving any help from the RATS.

We’ll probably never know the number of attacks which have been averted due to actions of the President and members of his administration, but which cannot be celebrated or even discussed for security reasons.

[pparets]

It was NEVER about the war in Iraq, Katrina, detainees and torture, surveillance, terrorism, Cuba, oil, Alaskan drilling or anything else. For the democrats and the looney, liberal left it was ALWAYS about their hatred of George W. Bush, President of the United States of America. They loath and detest him so much that they would lose the war and drive oil to $200 a barrel rather than see him get credit for doing the right thing. Wake Up, America! These truly evil people must be stopped at the ballot box, starting with Harry reid and Nancy pelosi.
