Well I could make the argument that (unless the right person gets elected) our troops abandon the Iraqi people to get slaughtered, a vacuum is created that will be filled by Iran, Al-Qaeda declares to the world that they beat the United States, taxes and spending go out of control, small businesses are unable to grow, the federal government expands even larger than it is now, and so on.

I wouldn't be surprised if the thermostat in my house becomes the property of the government.

If we didn't go into Iraq, Iran couldn't fill any vaccuum. Who the heck cares what Al-Qaeda declares. Spending is already out of control. Small businesses are already unable to grow because of a crap economy and a love for big business.

It will be a sad day indeed. :sad:

just curious, in case you were serious, is there anything on earth that bush could have done that he hasn't, to make you change your mind about him?

i feel like throwing up when i see him on tv or read about him online.

Does Rush Limbaugh live behind the curtain while Bush looks for a brain in this altered reality you live in?

How can you take such factually incorrect thread seriously. This is one of the reasons I never venture into FYM.


Year 2008 is a leap year, with 29 days in February, ergo 366 days till a new president takes office.

you guys would listen to anything as long as it slams bush, fools, i'm done with this forum.

A new President will be inaugurated, and the world will finally be rid of George W. Bush.

Start the countdown...365! :hyper:


One year from today...

is correct.

Yes.

I don't agree with him on every single thing. I certainly don't give him a 100/100, if that's what you're asking.

If you know anything about economics you would know your saviour Bush is one of the worse SPENDING presidents we've had. What has Bush done for small business? I could tell you what he's done for some major corporations though... Bush has also expanded the federal government more than anyone in recent administrations. You may want to take a look at reality, and not conservative talking points, for most of those are no longer really Republican talking points anymore, the neo-cons made sure of that.

Yes, I'm aware, and that's not good. However, this new Congress has done quite a bit of that too.

BonoVoxSupastar said:

By cutting taxes, allowing small business to grow. He's done a lot more than Hillary or Obama will do. They can say goodbye to their tax cuts if one of them gets elected.

BonoVoxSupastar said:

Yes, I'm aware, and with the exception of the DHS, it isn't good. Again, a Democrat will only expand it even more.

BonoVoxSupastar said:

I do look at reality. And please don't call Bush my savior.

Bush is essentially a corporatist/statist, and in that respect more 'left-wing' that most Democrats.

:lol: You don't make tax cuts when you are deficit spending it just doesn't make sense.

If you want your wall, wars, and everything else you need money to pay for it, don't support these things if you aren't willing to pay for them.:|

I don't know if you do. You keep making the arguments of old, but these things like small government, economically conservative, etc these things are no longer part of your party.

Believe it or not, I don't mind paying for this war. It's the Woodstock museums and the bridges to nowhere that I'm not so thrilled about.

Yeah, to hell with the people who want frivolous crap.

Wait, who wanted that $50 million bridge? Oh yes, Ted Stevens, R-Alaska.

But, I assume, you're not one of the ones who profits from it? So that just makes you a sucker, no?

I'll leave the argument about how he is/was as a President for his domestic audience, but as the public face of your country, you couldn't have done much worse really.

A person's party is irrelevant to me. I don't care if it's Democrats or Republicans, pork like that is unnecessary and a huge waste of money.
