I constantly hear repubs and gun owners refer to Bush as the best of two bad choices.
Well, what exactly has Bush done that is so bad? The AWB issue is dead. He said he would sign it if it came across his desk, and he made damn well sure it didn't. In doing so, he saved alot of voters who will/ can help him get elected... so, pick a different line of argument. Just curious W '04. Andy, out. |

BUT BUT>>
WHERES THE WMD HE's a WARMONGER both of the retarded uneducated answers you will receive from liberals and pseudo liberals. |
|
His immigration policy sucks ass for one. I am a Bush supporter, but this issue alone causes me pain in voting for him.
GWB: CLOSE THE FUCKING BORDERS FOR GOD'S SAKE!! |
|
I got a big +1 on that! |
|
|
He's wiped his ass with the Constitution.
He went to war so that his Oil Buddies could profit. He sprays Black People with fire hoses when they try to vote. He's a big liar. His wife is a drug dealer and a murderer. He allowed 911 to happen, just because he's evil. He shot a misslie at the Pentagon, just because he's evil. He and Osama Bin Laden play golf together ALL THE TIME! He looks like a Chimpanzee. Free Mumia! |
|
When is the Constituion going to be suspended and replaced with His evangelical theocracy?
That's what I've been waiting for the last 4 years! |
|
deposed 2 dictators?
brought the country through the biggest terrorist attack on our country and economy in it's history? taken the war to the terrorists killing thousands of them in the process? brought us out of the clinton recession? lowered our taxes? stood up for America in the world? restored some damned respect and honor to the office of the Presidency? |

He failed to stick up for the Second Amendment, instead saying that he would re-sign an AWB should it hit his desk.
He has failed to close our borderes despite there being an ongoing threat from terrorists. He has continued to push to KEEP the border open and to expand the amount of our tax monies going to illegal aliens. Keep in mind, I see nothing wrong with people coming here LEGALLY. Come one, come all. Come live the American dream. Don't start off your life here by violating our border laws though or you are no better than any other invader and should be treated as such. Bush had "Constitutional Questions" on the McCain-Feingold Bill that restricts 1st Amendment protected speech. Yet he signed it anyway. Same goes for the destruction of our 4th and 5th amendment Rights via the USA PATRIOT Act. Warrentless searches? Are you friggin kidding me? The Gestapo used to love those as well. Perscription Drug Bill. Can someone show me WHERE in the Constitution it GIVES the FedGov the power to use our tax money to give people drugs? No Child Left Behind. Noble goal. However, same as above. Where in the Constitution does it give the FedGov control over local public schools? Bush has FAILED to Veto a single bill. Not one. With a stroke of his pen, he could recind his fathers firearms import ban, yet has failed t odo so. He's almost doubled the size of the government and his TSA is a joke. Despite all that, I'm still voting for him. His stance on defunding certain medical research things and handing control back of to the free markets are commendable. His prosecution of the Iraq war could be more forceful, but at least he is fighting it. He was made noises about another tax cut and maybe trying to get an NRST passed that would do miracles for our business climate. He's basically told the UN to go get knotted, which was far overdue. If the LP's Badnarik was taking his talking points logic from Boortz, instead of whatever lefty-pacifist whimps he currently is... I'd be voting for him instead. |

Not to ensue in the Bush bashing game, but.. Deposing dictators is not a Constitutional mandate The biggest terror attack in US history is not an excuse and our economy would be much better off without so much government interference, thank you very much. It would have been better to have treated 9/11 like a crime, not a military attack. Killing terrorists? A lot of the dead Iraq were women and children. Same with Afghanistan. So while, yes, some bad guys were killed, it took the deaths of a lot of innocents to get it done. We are not out of the Clinton recession yet! Lowered our taxes. Yeah, but the states raised them some more. And federal spending is out of control meaning we will pay the piper at some point. Stood up for America in the world? Yeah and now the world hates our guts. Bush has not stood up for the Constitution, and thus, he is a globalist just like his father. Restored the honor and respect for the office? That's not even important. The presidency is not a royal station, it is a public service. Please don't forget that. I don't see how crapping on the Constitution makes the imperious executive branch more respectable. Anyone can put a gun to someone's head and say "respect me!" |

Leave it to a Libertarian to come along and ruin what was otherwise a humorous thread.

What good has Kerry ever done is the real question.
Successful diversionary tactics are only successful if the other party is duped. Tj |
|
1. Border policy (or lack thereof) 2. Increasing the federal role in education 3. various economic subsidies And he's still better than Kerry, who is 100% pure asshat. |
|
No, actually he has stuck up for the Second, more than any president in the last 40 years. |
|
|
That would be a first for you. |
|

Note Bush said that he had "Constitutional Questions" and not "Constitutional Objections". You and I might agree that we feel this is a violation of Free Speech. However, this was a law passed by Congress, Signed by the President, and affirmed by US Supreme Court. It has passed the Constitutional scrutiny. His "questions" were answered by the SCOTUS regardless of whether you or I agree with it. And as far as No Child Left Behind. Come on. What candidate or political party could honestly stand up and announce their platform is to no longer fund ANY education. Once again, like it or not, educating our children is the best answer to solving the social and economic ills that plague our country. Our eduction system has been receiving more money per child than any other civilized country with nothing to show for it. At least Bush is getting results |
|
|
Bravo Sierra. Even as recently as the debates, he said he would be willing to re-sign an AWB should it make it past the Congress. Exactly how is that "sticking up for the Second Amendment"? Take your time... we'll wait. |
|
|
He killed Christopher Reeves !!!!!
How can you support someone who offs Superman????? Reeves could have gotten up out of that wheelchair and walked if only........ |
|
I see it like this. If Bush killed Superman, as Kerry contends, the terrorists don't have a f*cking chance. |
|
|
He stood up to radical muslims and professed Christian beliefs.
That's offends people. Sgtar15 |

4 more years. SGtar15 PS Are YOU out of debt? |

thank you for completely discrediting yourself and letting the rest of us know to ignore any other posts you make on here. |

It's sticking up for it because the bill NEVER CAME ACROSS HIS DESK and he made damned sure it didn't. He also stuck up for the Second by having his AG's office declare that it was an individual right, something no president has done in the last 40 years. What YOU are posting is the bravo sierra. |
||
|
Better for the terrorists, yes. And it's clear you're on their side. |
|

He's a Republicrat....Bigger, stronger, more intrusive Government.
Under Dems it grows 4% on avg. under Reps it grows 3% on avg. We're just delaying the inevitable....Socialism. Too bad the Libertarians can't field a viable candidate. Too bad our 'two party systm' is so firmly entrenched. I watched the debates and bemoaned the fact that this is what we have to choose from. Pitiful Bushes biggest crime? Capitulating to Kennedy/pandering to liberals/not standing up for his court nominees You name which is worse. He gets accused of being a "cowboy" ....I say cowboy up! |
|
Told the truth. Did what he said he'd do. Is not morally bereft. Oh and apparently killed Superman. |
|

He took an OATH to uphold the Constitution. Not an oath to have the USSC interpret laws to see if they are Constitutional. If he had a "question" about its Constitutionality, it was his DUTY to kick it back to Congress to fix it. He didn't. Instead, the lefties in our USSC were once again able to subvert the Constitution despite the clear language it contains. The Law is supposed to be interpreted by the Constitution, not the other way around. Also, those funds TAKEN from the States would go back to the States for education. Instead of being taken from the States, half of it wasted by an out of control bureacracy, then the rest wasted on even more ineffectual programs. All that money and our schools still suck compared to when there was local control. It isn't the money, it is the rampant liberalism being pushed at the Federal level that is screwing our schools. I think we are gonna have to agree to disagree on this one. I'm a strict Constructionist when it comes to our FedGov. Why bother having a Constitution at all if no one in government abides by it? |

+1! WTF??? The ONLY problem with the War on Terror is that GWB wants to give the territory back! I say we keep Iraq and Afganistan...our soldiers bleed and fought for it, why not!?!?! Hong Kong was a British colony for 100 years and those people were middle class, happy, and somewhat free. Sgtar15 |

EXACTLY why I can no longer vote Libertarian! |
|
|
That was funny. |

|
He was behind me at the salad bar and I felt rushed and accidently dropped the cottage cheese spoon into the french dressing. What else does he have to do before we can all agree that his reign must end? |
|
|
1) Failed to capture OBL
2) Failed to plan for Iraq after the shooting war was over, both militarily, and the rebuilding. 3) Failed to deal with Iran and N. Korea, and keep them from building WMD's. 4) Used faulty intelligence to justify war in Iraq 5) Ballooned up federal spending, while champoining tax cuts, result in a,massive yearly deficit 6) Failed to show any real leadership. Homeland security etc all came from committees. 7) Made himself unreachable by the average reporter, every other Prseident had given regular "press breifings". |

The local school districts can't support themselves through local taxes because school districts are notorouis for mismanaging and wasting funds. Therefore they beg the fed for money, well, when they take that money they are also opening the Pandora's box of letting them take some control. I think it is a good thing, my wife who happens to be an 8 year teacher and 2 credits away from her doctorate in education thinks it is a GREAT thing. She likes to see the idiot teachers that shouldn't be teaching getting held accountable. She doesn't have a problem with it because she is a very good teacher, No Child Left Behind has no effect on her anyway, it effects the morons that shouldn't have the job anyway. |

I was there! I also saw Cheney sneeze on the galss guard...FROM THE INSIDE!! Sgatr15 |

Strategy. Success. The Left has it right... if Bush WANTED to see the Ban renewed, he could have made it happen. He didn't Had he LOUDLY proclaimed his support for the sunset, his opponents would have seized upon it and demagogued the issue. We would've had a new ban. This is how things get done. And they got done. Politics 101 is now over. |

www.issues2000.org/2004/George_W__Bush_Gun_Control.htm Yep. Gun owners best friend ain't he? (/sarcasm) |
|||
|
So... it is ok for our side to be hypocritical lying bastards but not the other side? I know politics is a dirty game. I ran for a State office once. Bush 41 signed an EO to ban imports when he couldn't get the legislation passed by Congress. Bush 43 is proving to be a bit better, for letting the AWB die, but he can't run from his debate quotes saying he would sign another one should the next Congress put a bill on his desk after the election. |
|||
|
He certainly is. |
|
|
So, maybe you can show us where in the Constitution is gives the FedGov the power to do so? Or is it found in yet another one of those "pennubras" and "emmanations" the USSC found to justify gun control? |
||
|
The message was crystal clear to me, to the Congress, and to anyone who follows politics. His wording was obvious.
You are naive. Would you have prefered "straight talk" and a renewed ban? I guess that's a yes. |
|||||
|
No. Too bad the republicans can't field a truly CONSERVATIVE candidate. Work within the system... |
|
|
1)How exactly is that his fault? What would YOU have done differently? 2)No, he didn't fail to plan for it, events simply didn't unfold the way the plan thought they would. 3)They were building nukes before he came into office. 4)The intelligence was the best we could get. NO ONE, including Saddam's own generals and governing council, knew that he didn't have WMDs. Saddam WANTED them to believe it. 5)Federal spending had to go up...we're at war. And I like the tax cuts. 6)Bullshit. You have no clue what real leadership is if you say that. 7)Couldn't care less. |
