Is the Bush administration "conservative"?

Radical Reactionary -- all the way!

I guess this makes the majority of Americans radical reactionaries..they voted him in. Well, sorta. Sad.

I wonder exactly how many of the good old days they would really like to have back.

Cancer, even discovered early, a death sentence.
Painless dentistry? Har de har har.
Automobiles that came off the line with a life expectancy of 200,000 miles. Hardly.
ANY type of level playing field for women and minorities? Hah!!!
Individual expression acceptable for our children? Unheard of.

I could go on........

Tartarin

A question if I may:


I didn't notice a category for "moronic."

Did I miss it, or did you overlook including it?

My guess is it would get the most votes.

In all fairness things about the good old days I miss

Not having to wash with antibacterial soap if anyone within 50 feet sneezes or urinates.

Being able to hitchhike across town and save the bus money for a coke and a hot dog.

Customer service from a real human being instead of a neverending series of voice mails that lead nowhere.

Saturday matinees where the admission is six Dr.Pepper bottle caps and you get two cartoons and a short.

Feeling up Debby Zdicham at these matinees.

I could go on....

Failed to mention a weighed ounce of sifted cleaned and absolutely seeds and stem free Columbian for 15.00.

Can't believe I forgot that, but the memory ya know.........

Frank -- WHY didn't I think of moronic?

Bi -- "I guess this makes the majority of Americans radical reactionaries..they voted him in.." Ekshuly, the whole reason I started this thread had to do with my realization that conservatives, when questioned carefully, do not identify with Bush at all. They continue to think he's a conservative ("he must be; I voted for him") and the moment you suggest to them he's a radical reactionary, you can practically see a little cloud lift from their heads and their impulse to rush home and tell everyone "Goody -- Bush isn't a real conservative... we don't have to vote for him anymore." And that's the current reality, based on recent experience talking with conservatives. All we mod-con-libs need to do is shout loudly, "This guy is not a conservative," and Bush could lose quite a few votes IF THE DEMS PUT UP SOMEONE WHO IS A GENUINE CONSERVATIVE. And therefore, going by the above definitions, who is a conservative among the Dem candidates? I don't think Lieberman is. I think he deliberately fits into no category, waiting for the princess to recognize his good qualities and dance with him... So who...?

Bi -- I still pick up hitchhikers and am here to tell the tale. In fact, some of the most interesting conversations...

If any of you could see beyond your hate for Bush and be intellectually honest, you'd find that his policies are mostly moderate, conservative, and sometimes reactionary. All you have to do is look at the reality of his foreign and domestic policies. And further, I see that the original poster added their own category, but with no definition. Doing this poll on this website is about as useful as doing it on smirkingchimp.com.

Brian thank you for your valuable and obviously equally bi-partisn feedback.

Reading your post on this website is about as useful as reading max news or debating with Ann Coulter, one could say in return.

In the interest of fairness Tartarin, please add the category "Christ Off The Cross" so Brian can vote.... :wink:

Look! there are 2 now!

I thought you scrolled past my useless posts....

radical reactionary moronic chimp who could get us all killed

Who, Me?! I would never scroll past posts. I might miss something important.

Fascist.


Pure and uncut. It's his dad in charge, so that figures.

Let's see; are they conservative in war? Are they conservative in the national debt? Do they value Iraqi lives? Have they created jobs as they promised? Are no children being left behind? What was that word again? c.i.

Brian -- if you're still there -- how (using the above definitions) do you fit Bush into the conservative etc. categories?

I guess y'all know this quote from Benito Mussolini. "Fascism should rightly be called Corporatism, as it is a merge of state and corporate power."

So there you have it.

Brian I too am interested to know how you classify bush and what you base your classification on. Truly.
