For Bush Haters: What good things has he done?

Not to hijack your thread although that is apparently been done already but those who say he has done nothing good answer the following question:

What good did Clinton do?

Matt Lauer: “You said to me a second ago, one of the things you'll lay out in your vision for the next four years is how to go about winning the war on terror. That phrase strikes me a little bit. Do you really think we can win this war on terror in the next four years?”

President Bush: “I have never said we can win it in four years.”

Lauer: “So I’m just saying can we win it? Do you see that?”

Bush: “I don't think you can win it. But I think you can create conditions so that those who use terror as a tool are less acceptable in parts of the world."

he has invented many new words to the english language

Since becoming President of the United States in 2001, President Bush has worked with the Congress to create an ownership society and build a future of security, prosperity, and opportunity for all Americans. He signed into law tax relief that helps workers keep more of their hard-earned money, as well as the most comprehensive education reforms in a generation, the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. This legislation is ushering in a new era of accountability, flexibility, local control, and more choices for parents, affirming our Nation’s fundamental belief in the promise of every child. President Bush has also worked to improve healthcare and modernize Medicare, providing the first-ever prescription drug benefit for seniors; increase homeownership, especially among minorities; conserve our environment; and increase military strength, pay, and benefits. Because President Bush believes the strength of America lies in the hearts and souls of our citizens, he has supported programs that encourage individuals to help their neighbors in need.

On the morning of September 11, 2001, terrorists attacked our Nation. Since then, President Bush has taken unprecedented steps to protect our homeland and create a world free from terror. He is grateful for the service and sacrifice of our brave men and women in uniform and their families. The President is confident that by helping build free and prosperous societies, our Nation and our friends and allies will succeed in making America more secure and the world more peaceful.

Heh, couldn't come up with anything on your own, eh?http://www.whitehouse.gov/president/gwbbio.html

I couldn't either, though I swear at some point there were a few things he had done that I agreed with...as for Clinton, I think he got lucky and didn't have to do anything spectacular to be remembered well. We were at peace and in the middle of a huge economic boom, all he needed to do was stay out of the way and let things ride.

wow thorne, you have just lost complete credibility with respect to intellectual honesty. I wonder what you're feeling right now.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

As if he ever had any. I told you that he was probably a GOP plant. Who else would go out of his way to pull a stunt like that?. I would almost bet that every large website, that entertains political discussions, is being infiltrated with these people. Phil, call in the SpyBusters. Very Happy

I'm reluctant to post here,there seems a pretty strong liberal bias,and you all love to bash we conservatives so.

He had people telling him what clothes to wear for crying out loud.

Say what you will, it's been five years since 9/11 and our homeland has remained thankfully safe.

And you think Bush doesn't. I'm sure it was totally his ideal to buy the ranch in Crawford back in 99 too.

I think he was talking about Gore paying a feminist writer $15,000/month to help him present himself as an "alpha male".

So, I will ask,most respectfully,that you ask yourselves,what would the president of your choosing have done in the difficult situations that President Bush has faced? Do any of you feel that Gore would have had a significantly better plan for dealing with terrorism?

Personally,I think,he might have apologized to the Muslim world,that seemed what he was best at.

Bush said he wanted to engage the enemy on their turf,and we are.

So Kerry is elected and there is a huge hurricane coming,do you believe that he could in some way have evacuated the city of New Orleans?

Do you believe there would be no cronyism in his administration? Would he have gone down there and put his finger in the dike?

Anything else? I can also think of healthy alternatives to many of Bush's other choices. No-Child Left Behind, our new and improved Supreme Court, Healthy Forests Act (Or whatever it was called), the Clear Skies Act, etc, etc, etc....

At least his initiatives/efforts have positive sounding names. :wink:

i TURN MY CELL PHONE OFF WHEN i'M ON VACATION.....

At least his initiatives/efforts have positive sounding names. :wink:

even tho it would be close to impossible for 90% of us

phhhhhhhhhhtttttttttt.....buzzkill....pile on dude.....it's more fun.

One thing he could do that I would strongly approve of would be for him to put reforms on campaign financing... that would take care of the whords of corrupt Republicans right now, Abrahamoff, Delay, and whoever else is funneling illegal funds.

Hey Camhead :D

Where've you been? Presumably, spending very little time in front of a computer monitor. :wink:

The lefties around here are in serious need of intellectual leadership. Post up, beotch.

..Curt,you are a way smarter guy than I, everybody likes a BJ, even we conservatives,but is it fair to overlook perjury?The truth is that Clinton had a lifelong history of manipulating women for sex.Paula Jones was not the only person he offered jobs to in exchange for sex,you may argue that's not proven,I'll agree.Personally I would not have cared a whit if he was doing Monica or some other girl,that's pretty standard fare for the White House,Kennedy was a sex machine.At least he had the sack to actually have intercourse,and I don't think he was strongarming women for it.That's the part that bothered me,the conservative.That and the"depends on what your definition of 'is' is."

It not the votes that count, It who counts the votes.

One downside to Bush's presidency is the level of political whining has reached historic levels.

Carter had a lot of detractors. Reagan had a lot of detractors. Clinton has a lot, too. If not sure if Bush has more detractors than these other recent presidents. More like, it's that the current detractors b---- and moan a whole lot than those of the past.

Doesn't apply to most here, but he has approved funding to fix/replace housing for military families that live on bases. The housing hasn't been revamped since WW2 so it was/is in really rough shape. Approved funding for better pay for off post housing so a family can afford to live somewhere other than a studio appartment of trailer in the ghetto. Generally gave a lot of folks in the military a Commander in Chief that lives by the same rules that is required of us.

...I'd say it's more like a ground swell of Nationalistic unity.

the masses

Funny what you call criticism.

I wouldn't expect you to grasp the distinction between fair minded criticism and low brow character assassination..

And just what was your treatment of John Kerry during the election and your bashing of Bill Clinton on numerous threads??

You have be the biggest fecking hypocrite on this site...bar none.

As if he ever had any. I told you that he was probably a GOP plant. Who else would go out of his way to pull a stunt like that?. I would almost bet that every large website, that entertains political discussions, is being infiltrated by these people.

For those of you who actual thought I was genuinely trying to present a cut and paste from www.whitehouse.gov. as my own writing, guess what? Gullible isn't a word in the dictionary. :wink:

You might of had climbinganne fooled, but no one else is falling for your lame attempt at saving face. That you are defending yourself is evidence that you and your big, fat lie are on the ropes. bloop... blooop...blooop :wink:

Oh roofie/PL... you're such an easy mark. :lol: :lol: :lol:

My behavior is irrelevant to the point I was making.

I think he is going to implode and then this place won't be any fun anymore.

Again...do as I say...not as I do. Hypocrite!!! :lol:


You have a bull-eye the size of a barn on you. :lol:

Poor bob. Too fucking stupid too grasp the obvious. Laughing
