You may backpedal when ready, Gridley... Drop dead, Gege. You are a shame for all *Homo sapiens sapiens*. Even the cockroaches are laughing at you. Interesting to see the reaction when you are nailed completely and don't have an answer. Kind of like John Kerry did yesterday. Made a dumb statement, got nailed for it, and started name-calling. Ah, the Left. You got to love 'em. |

Mike T. wrote: Why shouldn't I be? My complaints with Bush are pretty much limited to his being too soft on illegal immigration, and that his administration mishandled the post-invasion occupation of Iraq. But the latter is a flaw of execution, not of intent. Geoff So what WAS Bush's intent on occupying Iraq? (this should be good, watch this bush apologist squirm now) His intent was quite clear from the beginning: to remove a dictator who had invaded his neighbors, tried to assasinate an American president, used WMDs to kill tens of thousands, was negotiating with terrorist groups including Al Qaeda (the 9/11 commission reported that Saddam had offered Bin Laden sanctuary in Iraq), shooting at American planes enforcing a UN sanction, violated the truce agreement that allowed him to stay in power after the 91 war, etc. *BEFORE* he became a direct threat to the US. Now we have a responsibility to make sure that Iraq doesn't fail as a nation. Funny that the Left seems to want that to happen. |

If you'd actually bothered to pick up a newspaper at any point in the last four or five years, you'd know that your ****-in-chief is a complete failure *as a conservative*. More vacuous liberal namecalling. Can't you people do any better than that? (Well, I suppose that if you could, you wouldn't be liberals.) True conservatives should boot him out of office simply for his disastrous running of your economy, You mean the economy that was in a recession when he inherited it from Clinton, but has recently hit record-high Dow numbers? *That* economy? Just checking... OK, I get it, you're a true Republican - you really *don't* have anything better to fall back on than the tired old "Blame Clinton" mantra. He didn't "blame Clinton". He stated a fact. Bush inherited a recession from the previous administration. If wasn't Clinton's fault. It was a result of the Internet Bubble bursting. But that doesn't alter the fact that the economy was collapsing *before* Bush took office. And he turned it around. If Bush has done such a great job of managing your economy, why is the US dollar now worth considerably less against other currencies than it was under the previous administration? ????????? What does that have to do with it? The biggest reason for the dollars drop was the interest rate cuts. Also the dollar had been at an abnormally high value. Currency rates fluctuate. If you think the US economy is so bad why is the per capita income of Americans so much higher than Europeans? Why is the US unemployment rate so much lower than the Europeans? Why is the US economy growing so much faster than Europes? Why is the US budget deficit so much smaller than most European nations (as a ratio to GDP)? That Bush economy sure sucks, doesn't it? ;-) |

What happens when you increase spending and cut taxes? Answer: The economy improves and tax collections rise. The US currently has record high tax collections and a budget deficit that is so low compared to GDP that we could qualify for the Eurozone while France couldn't. All this despite the economic loss of 9/11 and the wars. Keep trying, but you're losing when you disparage the Bush economic record. It's stunningly good. |

We had record high Dow numbers under Clinton... and NASDAQ..... It is only 9 percent from 11000 to 12000. How long did it take to go that far, under Bush? How long did it take to go the 10 percent from 10000 to 11000 under Clinton? Note: I am not saying the numbers were due solely to Clinton, but since you mentioned his name, and the "record-high" Dow, I thought I would bring it up. |

Nonsense. I understood what Kerry meant as soon as I heard him say it. He was talking about Bush getting us into Iraq. It would make no sense taken otherwise. Kerry, of all people, would not say something derogatory about the soldiers themselves. If you believe he words were about anyone but Bush, then you certainly don't know Kerry. |
