Hey, I just pointed out that Bush is a government guy compared to Clinton. I notice that you don't want to address that point.

I refer you to post 137. I see a lot of complaining, but not many alternatives.

Hey, I just pointed out that Bush is a government guy compared to Clinton. I notice that you don't want to address that point.

No, you were the first one to bring Bush's name into the argument. You wanted to show the hypocrisy of not condemning Bush for the prescription drug bill and condemning Romney for Mandatory health insurance. Pesonally, I do not agree with either. I have disagreed with Bush on other decisions, but you, on the other hand, bash Bush but not Romney. This Mandatory health insurance bill is as Big Government as you can get and you think that it is a good idea.

I have not researched a direct comparison of Bush vs Clinton as far as who was bigger government. At first glance, I could see how Bush could be bigger government basically because Clinton did NOTHING in terms of big changes, good or bad. Clinton has many other things to be criticized for.

Now maybe you can explain why you favor Clinton over Bush even though his indecisions allowed the conditions for 9/11 to fester and grow. Was it a good idea to go into Afghanistan after they protected the man who planned the destruction of a major US economic symbol (WTC), a major US military symbol (Pentagon) and a major US political symbol (assumed to be the White House)? Should we always just defend ourselves without striking back? Was the US wrong to get into WWII after Pearl Harbor?
