successes under the George W Bush admistration

Bushie managed to get the bin Ladens out of America unscathed after the new Pearl Harbor.

Im going to search "Successes of George Bush" and"good things about George Bush" and come post them here as an olive branch to my Republican Brethren.

now blueflame, this thread is for success not bashing. Please?

(Dys I thought this was serious but then saw it was a joke, Sorry, No more joke from me)

On September 11, George W didn't get afraid!!!

He found and put in jail thousands of arabs living in America, to protect us from getting atacked again.

He went to war with Iraq and has killed millions of the terrorists that caused September 11 that were living in Iraq and being payed by Sadam Husein.

George Bush also went to Iraq and made sure that there were no WMD's (Wepons of Multiple Destruction). Now that we know there are no WMD's in Iraq we can all feel safe.

George W Bush has voted in congress to lower the taxes we pay to the government. It's unfair that we have to pay TWENTY percent of what we make to people working for the government. That money shouldn't go to those people, it should be used for us to have a better economy.

The second commandment of the constitution says "We have a right to bear arms." (that means we can have any weapon we want so we can protect ourselfs) and president Bush supports that.

George W. Bush is pro-life (which means he doesn't like abortions) and will vote in congress to stop them from ever happening. God says to make all human life precious and the killing of any life (like in abortion) is against God's law.

George W uphoalds the death penilty and will execute men who break laws.

George W Bush has proposed an amendemnt in congress to not allow gays to marry. Gays don't deserve the right to marry because the bible says marriage is between a man and a woman ONLY!

dyslexia, sorry. I dont consider my post bashing. As for economics I dont think most Americans feel better off than they were 5 years ago. Bush also has succeeded in increasing the National Debt by over 3 trillion bucks.

Thank you, Amigo!!!

Them was gud-uns.

I do indeed hope that the above posts indicated why I can never be a republican nor a democrat. I shall remain a liberal. a progressive and continue to seek knowledge over bias. Noone is always right just as noone is always wrong. I am very disappointed that this thread could not serve as a bridge towards communication.

Reagan vs. Dubya: A Size of Government Contest
By W. James Antle III
Feb 18, 2006, 23:10 "Both Reagan and the current occupant of the White House disappointed fiscal conservatives on federal spending (at least fiscal conservatives should have been disappointed). They both presided over large deficits, escalating outlays and the addition of another Cabinet-level department. But the end result isn't exactly a wash, as some would have it.

Under Reagan, federal spending as a percentage of GDP fell slightly. It has increased under Bush. This is not purely attributable to post-9/11 defense and homeland-security needs; spending outside these areas rose from 12.8 percent of the economy in 2001 to 14.5 percent in 2005. Setting aside the question of whether all homeland-security spending actually goes toward securing the homeland, even excluding such expenditures non-defense discretionary spending is up nearly 30 percent.

In a policy analysis for the Cato Institute, Veronique de Rugy and Tad DeHaven compared the two presidents' records on real non-defense discretionary spending. Bush outspent Reagan in nine of 11 categories. Where such spending fell 14 percent during Reagan's first term, it rose 18 percent in Bush's?-"a whopping 32 percent difference between the two men," de Rugy and DeHaven noted.

Dys-- Did yu really vote for Kucinich?

absolutely. I only disagreed with 51% of his platform.

Dys, I say To hell with labels. All there is is fair and unfair and good and bad.

I think the people at the very,very top like to see people fighting each other over bullsh!t. Maybe their making money off both sides.

When I first started talking bad about Bush in 2000 some idiot said "your a f**king liberal" and I said "Hell yea I am" and then I thought to myself "what the hell is a liberal" to me It must have meant regular guy that works, get's paid, drinks beer and thinks Bush is a crazy, spoiled, lying, war mongering oil junky. So when finnally looked it up to my suprise it didn't say; Liberal- Regular guy who works, gets paid, drinks beer sometimes, and doesn't like Bush.

labels are bullsh!t. It's like being in a chicken fight only we are both the chickens on different sides. If the chickens found out they weren't really enemies and stopped fighting the people that ran the chicken fight would go broke.

FREE THE CHICKENS!!!

Interesting post Dys. One thing that has always bothered me about many of the posters here is an inability to see the good in a president/congressman due to idealogical blindness. I certainly believe that every president we have ever had has his accomplishments and his screw-ups. There are both good and bad things about every administration. I think we all get too caught up in how easy it is to criticise that we become blind to the good. All we can really hope for in a leader is one who has the best interests of the US at heart, and like em or hate em, I think we have been fortunate to have always had that in most of those who have served.

Re: successes under the George W Bush admistration


Bush economic policy had nothing to do with any of those "accomplishments."

In fact, I would challenge anyone to define the Bush economic policy. The way I see it is that our economic growth has been fueled by deficit spending. The quails are going to come home to roost.

Yeah, I'm pretty much an idiot. You need to just scroll past my posts.

So I assume peeps are lined up to explain just how stupid I am for posting that Geroge W Bush might have accomplished some postives. Who's next?

I love you.

I will follow you and amass a large group to do your bidding and live in tents without electricity.

<my leader>

I always have lived intents, last fall I bought a new tent on sale so now I suffer from a winter of discount tents.

Thank goodness Spring is around the corner.
