BUSH BLUNDERS ARE HARD TO KEEP UP WITH

The foibles and follies of this administration are too numerous to count. With the exception of Monica Lewinsky, they rival anything in the previous administration. Of course, most neocons refuse to notice. Therefore, this column will also be ignored.

However, for those who are interested in the truth, here are some of the latest examples of Bush's blunders:

*Bush threw his support behind a liberal Republican who supports increased taxes, abortion and additional gun control to be a Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate. That man is Illinois Governor Jim Edgar. Thankfully, Edgar decided to not seek the nomination, but that didn't stop Bush from doing his best to send another liberal to Washington, D.C. Next, watch for Bush to do the same thing in California.

*Bush continues his support for the Clinton-Gore gun ban enacted back in 1994. Despite objections from gun groups, including the National Rifle Association, the President is determined to re-institute the so-called "assault weapons" ban that is scheduled to sunset next year. So much for Bush being "pro-gun."

*As Commander-In-Chief, President Bush has the authority to establish guidelines and policies for our nation's military. When Bill Clinton became President, he implemented the infamous "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy allowing homosexuals to serve in the U.S. armed forces. Bush has continued that policy. Clinton also introduced women to front-line combat roles. And true to form, Bush continues this reprehensible Clinton policy. In fact, one would be extremely hard-pressed to find any Clinton policy that Bush has reversed! I can't think of a single one.

*NAFTA and GATT came into existence early in the Clinton administration. Bush continues those polices and even wants to expand them. He has proposed expanding this agreement throughout the Americas and is now calling for a Mideast Free Trade agreement. Say good-bye to more American jobs; say hello to more foreign goods and to more foreign workers.

*Bush is determined to oversee the creation of a Palestinian state. After sending American soldiers to fight and die in an undeclared war against Iraq, Bush wants to create another such country by giving the P.L.O. radicals their own nation. Clinton wanted to do the same thing, of course, but was shouted down by conservatives. Today, those same conservatives sit mute and dumb as Bush sets about to finish what Clinton started.

*Speaking of finishing what Clinton started, Bush successfully created the Department of Homeland Security and the totalitarian-laced USA Patriot Act. There is an even more egregious version currently worming its way into law. All this was the brainchild of Bill Clinton, of course. However, he could not accomplish his pernicious plans because conservatives and Republicans would not support them. Now they do.

*Bush is likely to invoke Executive Privilege in order to continue the cover-up about what he and other top government leaders knew prior to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Some thirty days prior to the attacks, Bush reportedly received a CIA Intelligence Report which warned, "The attack will be spectacular and designed to inflict mass casualties against U.S. facilities or interests. Attack preparations have been made. Attack will occur with little or no warning." More details are leaking out almost daily.

A Democratic Presidential contender, Senator Bob Graham of Florida, says Bush knows much more than he is telling and is demanding that the administration come clean about what really took place. Before that happens, however, Bush will claim Executive Privilege and the truth will be covered up once again.

"Spare me your justification and your excuses. Bush increased spending by 15% - even more so than Clinton. So much for smaller government. Of course you pretend it to be some secret plan to draw out "dims." "

Reagan increased spending 45%

Did he suck too?

[Republican_Strategist]

I am not aware of it.

Nutball? You are just personally atatcking him so you cand efend Bush's liberal policies. You might as well vote democrat.

[Mo1]

Why am I still awake at this hour? ugh

Same here .. it's 3:20 AM .. I just knew I should have walked away from the computer .. but nooooooooooooo

[Lancey Howard]

George W. Bush has made America proud again. Parents no longer have to be embarrassed to point out the White House to their children.

Clinton-loving poseurs like you are so transparent it's funny. Pop over from Scumbag Underground didja?

By the way, you forgot to post that you will "never vote for Bush again", LOFL.

[Judith Anne]

If you posted this DREK in hopes of getting an argument from me, you lose. I think it's a rubbish article, and I don't have the inclination to do anything with you except call your post DREK.

I have more respect for Southern Baptists than to give serious attention to anything Pastor Chuck says.

This paragraph is a shameless smear job.

[Republican_Strategist]

Bush is quite media savvy. He has convinced you people that he is conservative and you are conservative although he says things like Campaign Finance Reform is unconstitutional and signs it anyway. He has no principles. The Farm Bill was reminiscent of Soviet-style collectivism and Bush supported it 100% - you remind me of the Clinton defenders.

[Nayt2]

if you ever want to feel more assured of GWB's conservatism, just check out the DU. them freaking out makes me feel better every time.

Well why not add a few of the lies in these articles to your site?

Wasn't partial birth abortion signed into law by this President?

Wasn't it this President who cut off UN abortion funding?

Wasn't it this President who said no to Kyoto?

Wasn't it this President who said no to the World Court?

Wasn't it this President who defied the UN and did what needed doing anyway?

Isn't it up to Congress, the congress controlled by Republicans to let die the assault weapons ban?

I could go on, but why?

This article was full of lies. These lies coming from someone who claims to be a "Christian" baring false witness against another.

[Republican_Strategist]

He pointed out how Bush was no different than a liberal democrat. You are whining. He's making sense. You'll defend anything the guy does.

[11B3]

Well said on your part as well. Anyone who thinks everything is simple one dimensional logic with the President is a fool. That's why they always come away from any confrontation looking like the simpletons they are.

'toon isn't the President any longer, but for some reason certain individuals can't seem to come to grips with that.

Realpolitic isn't what we would want in a purely conservative government, but until the Dems are recognized as the communists/socialists that they really are we have to be somewhat incremental. What would really suck is for idiots like this guy to succeed in bringing down the vote in 2004 and enable someone like The Ankle to become the Pres. I don't know who would be hunted down first - liberals or the real jackasses like this nutcase 'pastor'. It's high time that folks understand that the Rats are playing for keeps now - should they come to power again, our nation is finished. Eternally. That's why we all have to stick together and keep them out of power. No, I'll still disagree sometimes on the issues, but my vote will always be with the GOP. To demand certain conditions on such issues before they play out for real in order to keep my vote is beyond childish in my eyes.

Republican_Strategist: You're either with us, or you're with the Rats. Your choice. Either climb down off of the delusional soapbox, or STFU.

[Judith Anne]

Bush no different that a liberal democrat?

I may spew.

In 1985 the church was recognized by President Ronald Reagan for its unusual growth and influence.

Not really that solid an argument. Tony Campolo has an impressive size following, and he was quite the Clinton apologist. The leader of a group seeking to remove all religious references from anything remotely associated with government is a former pastor. A lot can change in 18 years, and clergy tend to come from the emotional decision-making temperament(F on Meyers-Briggs). Many followers of Jesus, including religious leaders, were disappointed when he didn't enact their dreams in their ways, failing to set up an earthly kingdom. Perhaps Mr. Baldwin is expecting the wrong things from the wrong person.

Or consider another example. "Manna, manna, manna, all we have is manna. We are tired of manna. Why were we led into the wilderness to die? We are thirsty, why doesn't MosesBush strike the rock and give us water?"

[Republican_Strategist]

I was a republican. I started listening to Joseph Farah and taking to heart that I wasn't living up to my principles.

The only trash is where you have so-called conservatives supporting a phony conservative (Bush's compassionate conservatism was coined by a Marxist) and when someone points out his liberal policies - you scream and demand censorship.

Bush reportedly received a CIA Intelligence Report which warned, "The attack will be spectacular and designed to inflict mass casualties against U.S. facilities or interests. Attack preparations have been made. Attack will occur with little or no warning." More details are leaking out almost daily.

Such as that the CIA saw Islamonut blither like this almost all the time. GWB was not to blame for this; Clinton was.

[He Rides A White Horse]

I could go on, but why?

You could add 'parted the Red Sea' to your list and it wouldn't matter to some.

They would probably say that he didn't do it fast enough.

[Risa]

>>In other words, Bush proposes to send federal dollars to those organizations that promote abortion and promiscuity.<<

Can you see the fallacy in his argument? The fact that Bush didn't agree to restrict the money to programs that reject abortion and promote abstinence DOES NOT MEAN Bush PROPOSES to send money to those organizations that PROMOTE abortion and promiscuity.

He earmarked funds to fight aids; I am sure he had very good reasons for not agreeing to these limitations. He's a smart man and as we've seen in the past, a method always exists behind the seeming madness.

(To my mind, I do not see what promoting promiscuity and abortion even have to do with fighting aids.)

Either the author uses fallacious reasoning because he thinks we are stupid, or he is stupid and doesn't know any better.

Wrong. I do NOT whine. Ever.

Baldwin is a "doom and gloomer." NOTHING satisfies his self-absorbed brand of "conservatism." He is the poster child for those who hate conservatives. Worse than Gary Bauer.

[Lancey Howard]

By the way, your Democrat-soundbite tag line was stale two months ago; it is exactly the kind of juvenile sarcasm one expects from the likes of Michael Moore. Congratulations.
