I signed more laws and executive orders amending the Constitution than any other US president in history.

I dissolved more international treaties than any president in US history.

I've made my presidency the most secretive and unaccountable of any in US history.

Members of my cabinet are the richest of any administration in US history (the poorest multimillionaire, Condoleeza Rice, has a Chevron oil tanker named after her).

I am the first president in US history to have all 50 states of the union simultaneously struggle against bankruptcy.

I presided over the biggest corporate stock market fraud in any market in any country in the history of the world.

I took the world's sympathy for the US after 9/11, and in less than a year made the US the most resented country in the world (possibly the biggest diplomatic failure in US and world history).

I have removed more freedoms and civil liberties for Americans than any other president in US history.

I have created the most divided country in decades, possibly the most divided that the US has been since the Civil War.

I entered office with the strongest economy in US history and in less than two years turned every single economic category heading straight down.

I have at least one conviction for drunk driving in Maine (Texas driving record has been erased and is not available).

I was AWOL from the National Guard and deserted the military during time of war. I refused to take a drug test or even answer any questions about drug use.

All records of my tenure as governor of Texas have been spirited away to my father's library, sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view. All records of any SEC investigation into my insider trading or bankrupted companies are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view.

And their problem is?

I love lefty propoganda, always makes me chuckle.

Just thought it was getting a bit slow on the forums today.

People normally get pretty easily fired up over the Bushster.

I totally agree.

I agree too

The way to get the people fired up is to post that then call the people who bash Bush a bunch of red suited Commies who obviously have no love for their country.

That always goes down well.

Lol...

well, I'm not a commie, even though Russia is close...Sometimes, when I sit up at night, I can sense a smell of vodka coming in from the east

I love my country too, but I think it would be a better place if we could get a women to be president! lol! :)

Oh man....is it wrong if i laugh at this? I wonder...:I

Peaces.

Haha...I was wearing my BUCK
FUSH T-Shirt today. Good fun.

to the original post::

bush=TOTAL FUCKING IDIOT.

thats what i think.

Why can't george be as loving as my ladies bush?

Heh heh heh!

O____O

Kevin you dirty little man ahahahahaha...

Peaces.

George Bush is a great president! He did a lot for this country!

A lot????? Pray tell.

People attacked us, OK!? He defended us and he made this country better! What did Bill Clinton do? Oh wait, he slept with Monica L. Or Al Gore, oh wait AL GORE "invented the internet." What did John Kerry do. Oh wait, he got 3 purple hearts for getting a scratch!

yo felicia, are you saying that all the things stated in Kaitlins post are lies? And that he hasn't done them to your country?

Show me a list if you can of equally good things he's done...go on i dare ya to try.

-Tax Cuts
-Going in Iraq
-Not scandelous
-He is an honest president
-He protects this country
-Trying 2 fix Social Securty

I'm not saying they are lies. Everyone has opinions. This is mine!

Going into Iraq to defend us! Because the democrats sure the hell won't!

They had Terrorist attack when bill clinton was Pres.
He is NOT raise taxes
No, he is getting rid of the people that are using S.S as a free ride!

Now tell me, what did Slick Willie do? (beside run away from war)

Felcia, that list you posted wasn't really of equal measure to the one kaitlin posted...and i've found this with most of the people on this site who defend Bush, and believe me there have been several threads about the man.

You never speak from a logical fact based standpoint...it's always emotional "my opinion" nonsense...and i can just hear Fox "news" screaming through all the facts you pass on to me.

Someposts a list or paragraph full of facts, though perhaps left wing in origin as brett said, they are still facts...and all the pro bush camp can come back with is points of view and personal statements that have no real merit in a discussion of what he's actually done.

The man is bad for world freedom and personal democracy...but good for the meglomanical expansion of America as a super power. I know which i prefer to support.

The brave people that decided to go out their in the first place. THEY want to defend us. You keep slipping away from my question. What did Bill Clinton do for this country?

Had sex with two people that work in his office.

Thats all I can think of.

What a great leader! I want my kids to be like him- NOT! What a fearless IDIOT leader! I'll run away from war! I have NO respect for him!

He is protecting this country! That's his buisness!

You're still ignoring the question? WHAT DID BILL CLINTON DO FOR THIS COUNTRY! Absolutly NOTHING!

Bush is a dildo...I'd kill him if given the chance

Better not say that! You really can get arrested! Seriously! You really can!

wanna know some good the president has done how bout hese 4 things:
1. Even though it may have been poorly implemented, I agree in principle to the No Child Left Behind program.

2. Signed the partial-birth abortion ban into law.

3. Provided much needed funding for the military.

4. Severely damaged the Al-qaeda network.

also
Signed two income tax cuts, one of which was the largest dollar-value tax cut in world history.

Felicia asked what did clinton do for thsi country. well here are jsut a few things:
1.Longest economic expansion in American history
2.More than 22 million new jobs
3.Highest homeownership in American history
4.Lowest unemployment in 30 years
5.Raised education standards, increased school choice, and doubled education and training investment
6.Largest expansion of college opportunity since the GI Bill
7.Connected 95 percent of schools to the Internet
Lowest crime rate in 26 years
8.100,000 more police for our streets
9.Enacted most sweeping gun safety legislation in a generation
10.Family and Medical Leave Act for 20 million Americans

Yes, he also

- sexed up Minica L.
- ran away from war
- lowest teen birth! psh, had NOTHING to do with him!

Not the kind of person I would want my kids to look up to!

he was a good president but a bad man and who says ur children need to look up to the president. they look up to make believe things like superman not the president.

Lowes teen birth rate:
In his 1995 State of the Union Address, President Clinton challenged Americans to join together in a national campaign against teen pregnancy. The birth rate for teens aged 15-19 declined every year of the Clinton Presidency, from 60.7 per 1,000 teens in 1992 to a record low of 49.6 in 1999.

dont get me wrong i hate clinton and he made mistakes at the end of his presidency but for 6-7 years prior to that he did great things. i am still a republican and i love Bush.

I guess I should have respect for him. I do in a way. He did a few good things but I still hate the man. Bush is an awsome president!

I hate Bush with a passion. I won't say why, because that would just lead up to an argument. You do know he has little friends that boil people alive, right, Felicia?

me too, Rachel, me too...

I don't think that I hate Bush, I just disagree with his outlook on many issues, including the war in Iraq and Afghanistan.

1. Believe it or not, there are actually other countries out there in the world, and we should pay at least a little bit of attention to them
2. Iraq was not a security threat
3. Iraq did not have weapons of mass destruction
4. There were no convincing or strong ties between the Iraqi government and Al Queda, although I'm sure Saddam thought 9/11 was great
5. Clinton DID involve us in Kosovo (sort of an unrelated point I guess)
6. Bush ran from military SERVICE as much as Clinton did
7. I think Afghanistan could have been done a bit better, although it millitary campagin worked out fairly well. There are still pockets of resistance, and opium/heroin growth/production is up to far far beyond pre-war levels
8. Al Queda, though damaged, has proven themselves able to strike out in a terrorist attack against one of the safest large cities in the world (in terms of anti-terrorist protection), London.

Personally, I am a Democrat. I see a lot of people irrationally labeling the other side, however, and I feel that is a bit immature. You shouldn't allow things to get too out of hand, politics and the ethics behind policies are important, and that is why they should be treated maturely.

i think that every preident has done some good and some bad. and thats it. some do more bad than good and some do more good than bad. in my opinion bush and clinton both did more good than bad.
