LOL. The strong economy speaks for itself.(Anybody else here unimpressed with Bush economy??) So what if he cut our taxes? He put all his reckless spending on the nation's credit card. That's still taxing us but in a sneaky way. If you give GWB credit for throwing money away he didnt have to raise himself you have to praise Obama too, something I cant do.
RE” Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I do believe that during his tenure, President Bush was fighting and winning a HOT war — and a hot war trumps a cold war every time! ”
So you give him special points for invading countries and leaving office with our troops still in action?? Well then if he invaded a few more like North Korea and Iran and left troops there too, and he put it all on the nation's credit card, he would look even better to you. Not me. The only way he can get credit for this is if the WOT was won and all our troops in the middle East could come home and miliary could be cut (like after Reagan.)
I am not going back to Clinton. Bush was president for 8 years and had his own congress for 5-6. No one will buy Clinton who had a republican congress is to blame for GWB after all these years. Clinton became irrelevant about 2005. Dont even try Carter!
OK, now I understand: You’re an ‘I hate Jews, but love earmarks’ Ron Paul hypocrite . . . ‘nuf said. [FYI: I won’t be wasting any more of my time with you.]
Why NOT CARTER?? He is at blame here?? He singlehandedly Gave the Whack Jobs an entire Country Iran that has the ME in Flames and Crapped on our Friends,Taking out Saddam was a necessity and may have saved a American city Too continue Carter gave us the Community reinvestment act also and look at the wondrous things that have sprung forth (sarc).
My gosh.....there is so much marlarkey here...it must be St. Patrick's Day!!
Sickoflibs—Again, you’re right on the money. Under Bush spending outstripped tax cuts. Bush was right in going to WOT, but botched it. Iraq and Afghanistan should have been over long ago. Bush never learned from Vietnam—when at war you cannot allow yur adversary safe havens. Moreover, he missed the biggest lesson from Vietnam—when a president commits American troops he/she must be willing to bring overwhelming force to bear. The minimalist war he and Rumsfeld tried to get away with failed. The biggest advantage it provided the Islamoterrorists was time. Time to hide, time to recruit, time to rearm, time to reorganize. This has led directly to unnecessary American casualties and war costs.
