Oh yes...so if I'm not idolizing Republicans, I'm "starting up misbehavior."
Well, you said it not me
I will admit that I am not some die-hard liberal, and, if the question had been posed to name good within the Republican Party, I could have found it.
Well why didn't you then, instead of trying to be cute in a well intentioned thread. It didn't specify that you
had to talk about Bush only.
However, I am not a Bush fan of any sort. I find the entire family, along with their prot?g?, Ronald Reagan, to be the worst presidents to happen to our nation in a long time.
1. Your opinion, not fact or reflective of the American people.
2. We all know this to be your opinion by now, do you have to bring it up
every time
FYI, I do care quite a bit about issues such as ethics and family values, and to have heard these despots make lip-service to these issues to garner votes angers me deeply.
Again, your opinion. Sorry you are angered, deeply.
It is no wonder that the 1980s are regarded as the "greed" decade and that the Bush I era was characterized by denial over a recession and a half-assed war. I fear that Bush II will be no different, actually.
In the interest of saving
our lives, Bush #41 halted us when our objective had been met. Kuwait had been liberated, and the Iraqi "army" had been crushed. Big mistake too, if we only could have known then. But Hussein had agreed and even signed documents that clearly stated terms and conditions of the cease fire that clearly spelled out his doom.
Obviously we should have listened to Stormin' Norman. However big a mistake Bush #41 made in 1991, not as big the mistake as his predecessor made in 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, and 00.
And don't be fooled by "lip-service", my friend. While Clinton gave all of you believers lip-service and "half-assed" the issues you care about (gays in the military, health care reform, economy, unemployment) he was really getting
lip-service of his own if you umm-(a different kind that is) know what I mean
We share many common values, needless to say, but I cannot find five good things to say about our current president, because I believe that *anything* good that he says is just an act.
Now Melon, can you prove that? It's not that you can't say 5 good things about him, you simply refuse to. Heres why:
Last summer (june? july?) in this forum in yet another Bush-hating thread; I named off a list of hypothetical achievements that Bush was "responsible" for. I believe it may have went something like this;
if Bush were President during/ and responsible personally for the end of wars (world peace), end of starvation (world hunger), cure for AIDS, and so on etc..etc.. would you still hate him then??
and you said in a round about very well-versed typical Melon response "YES, I WOULD"
Of course I am sure that is not an exact quote of what transpired, but very close-don't you remember??
He gets no bonus points for insincerity and domestic propaganda to prop himself up over the fact that, poll-wise, people don't really approve of him over anything except the war on terrorism
Look at what he inherited, this country was going to hell in a handbasket before 911, which was the icing on the cake. I think you need to look at your polls again Melon, or rather stop looking at liberal or biased polls. A lot of people (liberals, democrats) are unhappy that his high poll numbers across the board are higher than Clinton's were. The difference is this president is actually having to work at
real issues and is obviously guided by a higher power, instead of his penis.
And that is a rather strange thing to say coming from a guy with a name like mine
(meant for emphasis)
Again, I expect an invasion of Iraq...oh let's say one month before the November elections: just in time to prop up the Republican Party as the only real party. He's always been great at timing.
Let's talk about timing:
Q: When was it that Bill Clinton suddenly decided to enforce the No-Fly-Zone and the compliance with weapons inspectors?
A: Only when he was getting ready to be impeached
Q: When was it that Bill Clinton retaliated against terrorist acts committed towards the United States and our intrests?
A: Only when he ws getting ready to be impeached
Now, for extra credit answer me this one: Should we allow Iraq to carry on the Genocide against their own population, the development of weapons of mass destruction, the arming and funding of terrorism against Jews, Americans for another 8 years?
Needless to say, these are my opinions, and I wholly respect your right to disagree. I'm hoping that the same respect will be extended to me, and I do not appreciate being banally labelled in the image of Bubba.
Melon
Yes as I have told you before, I
do respect your opinion quite a bit. But you know that when you bash my Bush, you are bound to get served
and
No, I wouldn't do that to my pal Bubba
