Posted: 10/2/2006 5:28:01 PM | I believe he is doing a great job!!!!!!!!!!
If you voted for somebody to violate your civil rights, and totally disregard your United States Constitution, make himself and vice president wealthy with oil rights from other countries, promote torture in foreign countries via CIA employees.
I didnt vote for this. Did you? | |

Posted: 10/2/2006 7:03:49 PM | | I don't like it. I don't think the President is doing what he is supposed to do. He isn't upholding the Constitution. I feel like we are being ruled by the corporations. There are no checks and balances. The attitude seems to be you are on your own. I would expect that from a corporation. I don't think the President serves the people anymore but he does protect the corporations. | |

Posted: 10/2/2006 7:25:21 PM | | You scared me there for a minute TOP IT lol . I can not understand how so many middle american people still like this guy. My only guess is that it is an emotional attachment to the party much like a person that has an emotional attachment to someone they know is bad for them. These people are in denial quite frankly. Bush is the worst ever [still cant bring myself to call him the P word ] . Our nation is in shambles but I am a positive person and America has gone down bad roads before . WE SHALL OVER COME but unfortunately our kids will be paying this big bill down the line | |

Hopefully the next President takes the Arab world's offer and let THEM broker a peace and let THEM be the multi-national peace keeping force as suggested by Egypt. Only then we can rebuild our manufacturing infra structure, pay back the national debt AND ease the burden on the empoyers (especially the manufacturere, small enterprises and large ones..GM FORD, etc.)by nationalizing health care. The rest of the world is doing it, and very well, why can't we?
I feel bad for the next leader....long days and small sleep hours.
It can be done. Hopefullythe next man or woman in charge will have the genius to pull it all off.
If we follow the current path, we will be in Iraq for a generation, even surpass the time spent in Vietnam...imagine, being stationed for 10 or 20 years in a blood soaked dust bowl with no end in sight. Osama would have long since been dead of natural causes (kidney infection, maybe lousy diet and living on the run), and accomplished his goals..ie. monetarily bleed our country slowly to death in fraudulent and nonsensical invasions and occupations, not wars.
It will be the GOP who will likely continue to prop the then dead of natural causes boogie man as a still and viable threat. How sad... The nation nearing bankrupcy while the elite in this country continue to fleece and economically sodomize the the US citizenry. Hence the road to ruin.
Lethargic attitude must stop and the populace demand the return of their country. | |

Posted: 10/7/2006 1:40:35 AM | Mystic rogue where did u get ur jfk info from. Jfk cme out with nsam 263 which wasnt known to anyone back then but was later declassified under the freedom of information act. Nsam 263 basically stated that the war in vietnam wasnt a war that we could realistically hope to win . He wanted teh first 1000 troops out of vietnam by christmas 1963 and the rest of the tropps out by 1965. He couldnt get all of the troops out by the end of 1963 because he needed teh support of the special interest groups to get him reelected. Catch 22 he was in and the special interest groups knew it. Why do u think he was liquidated. And they blamed it on a lee harvey oswald who after going through his history we find out that he was overtly marxist, spoke fluent russian yet was stationed at a top secret american airbase in japan.
Jfk was the only president we ever had that had balls and cared for our troops. Nixon would have been the most powerful president in history had he not been taken out in watergate. | |

=================
YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING?!?!?!?!
It was the Republican party that created term limits and now they want to undo their doing?
I see it now, when it comes to an egalitarian ruler, eg. FDR, the elite and their lackeys (the Republicans(R)), want to see an end to enlightened rule and the no one left out or behind philosophy. When one of the elite's own is in power, they want to keep the charade going and enburden ( and possibly destroy) the middle class and make miserable the working class.
Well too bad, the (R) lackeys created their term limit therefore we should keep the limit.
At least it makes it possile for hopefully new blood to rule and/or legislate.
This info should be spread out and so that we can keep the term limit.
I can really see it now:
1. Lie like hell and keep tyhe Iraq invasion/occupation going (10 to 25 years as John Hoag is forecasting)
2. Keep borrowing and further sink our nation in debt.
3. Nice tax cuts that are really enjoyed by the elite and only crumbs to the working and middle class..who will pay for the infrastructure..ie roads, bridges, military , WMD...oh yeah...silly me...we can continue borrowing like the Republicans want.
4. Not bother to help our industrial crown jewels: GM FORD VISTEON DELPHI,etc....
see them bought by foreigners like Chrsyler...remember GWB's words.....
If the masses rebel....wow...a larger version of the Kent State massacre...
maybe that is what it will take...for everyone to wake up and reclaim their country.
Are we witnessing the ROAD TO RUIN? | |

Posted: 10/11/2006 12:24:57 PM | Forgive me if points I mention have already been brought up, but I thought I would chip in, and direct my comments more at the initial question posed by the OP, rather then the current train of thought.
The current crisis faced by the US administration are not entirely the responsibility of one George W. Bush, but rather the result of decades of fiscal mismanagement, and poor foreign policy.
The US is just now facing the repercussions of supporting terrorist organizations against the Soviets, and the Ba'ath party against Abdul Karim Qassim. It is no surprise that the US is now at conflict with the Taliban / Ba'ath party supporters or former members, and one should be hard pressed to say they couldn't see this coming. | |

If you have read up on how the spending was made into this madhouse, follow the money:
1. Under the Carter Admin. the National debt was under $1,000,000,000,000.
2. It skyrockets under the Reagan Admin. when the CIA kept providing faulty Russian fiscal data. By the way, the Russians were already throwing in the towel. They pretty much said don't waste your money, the deed is done. So the CIA kept overestimating the Russian defense spending. NEEDLESS EXPENDITURES for a power that had already flickered out.
3. The nonesense continues under the GHW BUSH admin, and especially with Gulf War I.
a repsite...
4. Clinton betrays the Democrat party so that he can make deals with the Republican party. Thus the national debt is started to get repaid, budgets are being reigned in, and budget SURPLUSES projected. Suet the Dem's hated Clinton for the time, but Bill Clinton really paid attention to what H. Ross Perot referred to as the "TAR BABY" no one wants to handle, the wrangling of budgetary pork and barrell and the national debt.
The nonsense get resurrected..
5. GWB is elected President twice under VERY DUBIOUS circumstances, and flip flops on his initial words: NO NATION BUILDING, NO GIVING AID TO OTHER COUNTRIES, focus on COMPASSIONATE CONSERVATISM (what the hell does this mean I do not know...maybe focus on the home front?, smaller government? fiscal restraint and responsibility?). The WTC attack on 9/11/2001 occurs and the NEOCONS are looking for someone to blame target..Osama bin Laden and particularly Saddam Hussein.
Faulty data that the CIA did NOT trust is used to invade IRAQ.
Here is where money starts to really get wasted...The money debt sky rockets to approaching $10 Trillion. JF Kerrey isproven correct about the blown up spending.
Fiscal conservatism is thrown clearly out the window.
Basically what ever surpluses Bill Clinton worked to get the USA has not been taken away by a new Prez who basically cleaned his sh!t encrusted rectum with the surplus laiden budget.
So there is the money trail.... | |

Posted: 10/15/2006 12:47:16 AM | So how's the president doing? hum let me see...just about everyone now days are driving expensive cars, living in fancy expensive houses, eating out at expensive restuarants everyweekends but it seems just bout everyone is complaining about the economic slump which for some reason i don't see. Yeah if you think we are living in hard times try living back in the depression days believe me we are far from that. We not homeless standing in some food line waiting for a free hand out. So from my perspective we as a nation ain't all that bad off. In reality we top other nations when it comes to economy, freedom, patiotism, education, health care. If this isn't true why are so many forieners trying their best to flock over here for a better life?
This country does rank #1 in this world in the overall living conditions. Sure we may have a deficit but who gives a crap. We are 7 trillion i debt prb. higher but for some reason im still able to get up and have a job in the afternoon.
The problem is not the president the problem is the people of this nation. Society as a whole now days are not satisfy with anybody being president. We can elect a democrat next term and still have the same turmoil going on with people's acceptance of who's president.
The core or root problem is PATRIOTISM we have lost just about all of it now days. The only patriotism we had was just a few days after 9-11 and everyone just had to have a flag flying some where. Didn't last long it goes to show ya where we stand in this nation.
As a nation we need to back and support our president at all cost. If we don't then down the road america will no longer be america. We will taken over by some other nation who seen our weakness as a society.
But if our society stands up and be patiotic and support our president then out nation will show its power not weakness.
Im a supporter of this nation and very patriotic and support any president no matter what. We as a society can make our nation weak and crumble just by not giving a crap.
Oh yeah if you think we lost a lot of troops in iraq or in this terror war you ought to look and see how many lifes were lost in ww2.
There's a bible saying " a house that is divided will not stand" this also can be true for a society. The more this nation is divided on political issues the more it will break down this society as a whole. | |

You forgot to add a 3 after the one - USA is ranked the 13th best place to live.
We are 7 trillion i debt prb. higher but for some reason im still able to get up and have a job in the afternoon.
It's actually $8 trillion, 5 billion....what's another 1.5 billion? That's for the kids
to pay....sure it weakens the country but I can still wake up each morning
to deliver pizza's.
but for some reason im still able to get up and have a job in the afternoon.
That is odd and you should be thankful, for now. Many Americans lost their jobs to
outsourcing and then as a insult, they are forced to work part-time whilst the
Republicans refuse to increase the minimum wage. In fact, as a protective measure
against these newly classified poor, the Republicans made it ILLEGAL for them to
declare bankruptcy.
Society as a whole now days are not satisfy with anybody being president.
Bill Clinton never had the low approval numbers as Bush had. In fact, he finished
his term as the most popular president the United States has seen EVER. Over 60% approval
rating....but that was a yesterday. Forward and onwards....
There's a bible saying " a house that is divided will not stand" this also can be true for a society
Bush claimed to be a uniter but became a divider because he fibs. Blame him.
As a nation we need to back and support our president at all cost.
We should have bought oil futures at the beginning as he and Cheney did at
the beginning....I suspect most people would be standing by him as they see
their wealth increase 10 fold.
Yeah if you think we are living in hard times try living back in the depression days believe me we are far from that.
You know this president sucks when people remind us about the depression just
to try and cheer us up. But you have to remain positive because consequently
you could end up in hospital which BTW you have no coverage for...but let's not
go down that road, eh?
It's time for you to go to Bed, George.

WRONG. $1,000,000,000,000 means nothing as a statistic. You cant compare 1976 dollars to any other time period...its misleading and wrong.
The correct way to compare the National debt is as a percentage of gross domestic product.
Here's a summary of highlights starting in 1900:
The percentage peaked in 1918....at the end of a long war. Weird, huh??
The percentage dropped then peaked again in 1945....at the end of a long war. Weird, huh??
The percentage dropped then peaked again in 1953....at the end of a long war. Weird, huh??
Presently the percentage is peaking again.....as a result of a long war. Weird, huh??
But sensible explanations dont seem to fare very well in these partisan name-calling threads.. Therefore I will speak your language and use the same absurd partisan slurs and selected factoids to support my stance. ....the very language you speak and understand.
The percentage peaked in 1918
Quiz: Who was president in the 1918??
ANSWER: Not a NEOCON

That was fun.
4. Clinton betrays the Democrat party so that he can make deals with the Republican party. Thus the national debt is started to get repaid, budgets are being reigned in, and budget SURPLUSES projected
Basically what ever surpluses Bill Clinton worked to get the USA has not been taken away by a new Prez who basically cleaned his sh!t encrusted rectum with the surplus laiden budget.
First, I agree that Clinton DID betray the AD-LIBS by actually working together with sensible Democrats and NEOCONS to have a balanced budget . How horribly moderate of him.
Secondly, don't confuse a budget surplus or budget deficit with the "National Debt" or "actual spending".
Every day the Government has to (by law) pay off some of the Debt by retiring certain Debt Instruments (such as T-Bills, CD's, etc.) as they come due. Then, every day, the Government may decide to create more new debt.
If we create more new debt than we pay off in a given time period, the National Debt increases. However, if we pay off more than we create new, then the National Debt decreases. It is just that simple... And just that complicated.
During the first week of January 2003, as we were preparing for war, and while the AD-LIBS were whining about defense spending, the National Debt actually went down; from $6.40 Trillion on Dec. 31, 2002 to $6.38 Trillion on Jan. 8, 2003. That's a $20 Billion payoff of the Debt while the economy was not the best. Weird, huh??
Why, under an Democrat -controlled White House and Congress (Clinton Years) and booming economic times, did the National Debt always go up? Answer; too much SPENDING. Weird, huh??
Think of the Debt as being like your own credit card debt. Just because you did not go over your monthly budget this month your credit card debt does not disappear or go down automatically, does it? You need to make an effort to pay down your debt. So does the Government.
We will never again have a zero National Debt due to the way the Government now prints money(currency). Years ago our currency was backed by gold and then later backed by silver. We used to have Silver Certificates.
That ended in 1963-1964. Today we have only Federal Reserve Notes. But somehow this change that happened over 40 years ago is Bush's fault.
Quiz: Who was president in 1963-1964??
ANSWER: Not a NEOCON | |

Posted: 10/16/2006 3:12:38 AM | | i knew better than to click in the politics forum! after reading most of this mindless spewing i have decided to respond only to the op and his ****ing about canadians having to send in a few troops to the middle east. it is because of the USA that canada has an almost irrelevant military. very few have had to risk there lives. very few have died. canada has had to spend a fraction of the money on its military that a country its size normally should. why? because of that terrible, rotten, horrible country below them. canada knows it doesnt need an effective military as long as we are its allies. so before you **** about a few unfortunate losses you have incurred and blame us, perhaps you should thank us for the MANY lives of canadians we have saved by being your friends. | |
