Okie, jeez.
Quote:
Bush was not my top choice until he was the party's nominee, so I have supported him and I have defended what I think he has done right.
I don't understand what this sentence means.
Quote:He believes in America,
That's no accomplishment to be proud of; it doesn't take a lot of work to believe in things which are provably real.
Quote:he recognized terrorism as a threat, something I doubt the Democrats on
Not for any good reason, though. Democrats have long recognized terrorism as a threat and still do today.
Quote:we've had no attacks here since 9/11
He didn't protect the country on 9/11. He didn't do a damn thing until it was too late, even with information. You can't give him credit for the time since then without recognizing that this was a major failure on the part of his admin.
Quote:he stimulated the economy with taxcuts
Bull ****. There's no evidence whatsoever that this is true.
Quote: he nominated two pretty good Supreme Court justices
Pfff, anyone can nominate someone, and did you forget Harriet Miers?
Quote:and he has brought a semblance of respect back to the Whitehouse,
This is absolutely the most ridiculous thing that I've ever seen you write. I'm not exaggerating. How can you say this with a straight face? The WH is a
joke. Internationally Bush's respect is somewhere close to zero. The USA has never had such low levels of respect abroad. Bush's approval ratings are lower then Clinton's
ever were. His administration has been mired in countless scandals, corruption cases, and just plain errors. What evidence do you use to come to your position?
Quote:and respect of us by our enemies, something we sorely lacked under the previous administration.
He's created far more enemies to 'respect' us. Big accomplishment there.
Quote:The Patriot Act was passed, which was sorely needed, and we got the agencies back working together instead of hiding information from each other in regard to tracking terrorists.
One of the few things I agree with, though the Patriot act could have been written in ten pages if that was what it was for. Instead, it was mostly for grabbing as much power as possible for the WH; written
before 9/11, passed in the fervor afterwards, it is a terrible piece of legislation that you should be ashamed to support.
Quote:He has restored respect and readiness in the military. Many other good things as well.
Yeah, the military is doing great these days, not close to being broken at all. Guess those generals in the Pentagon and the Joint Chiefs who keep going on about that exact problem don't know what the hell they are talking about. And our military sure has improved in quality; we now have the highest percentage of soldiers who didn't graduate from high school since ww2, the most gang members since ww2, in fact, I think that you will find that any metric used to measure individual quality has sank like a stone over the last several years. All while encouraging a gigantic invasion of our military by Evangelical and Dominionist Christians, who actively persecute those who aren't their flavor of religion.

You really ought to preview your posts. Bush has been a complete and total failure as a president. All this 'history will decide' bullshit is ridiculous. I don't need to wait 20 years to realize that he has made mistake after mistake, time after time. Anything he got right, he fell ass-backwards into, just like every other part of his life. And the fact that you
still can't see this merely confirms my earlier point: your judgment of 'credibility' is useless, Okie.
