From the bottom of my heart, thanks for buying the infentissemally tiny number of troops from Spain foriegn aid bribes which led to them ousting their ruling party in favor of Socialists.

Oh, thanks also for ignoring Putin too while he gradually consolidates his position as Emperor of Russia.

Thank God we didn't have Al Gore in office to wage the "war on terror" or we might be still be in danger of not allowing the ruler of the worlds largest and least secure ******* of Nuclear weapons to assume complete power of the country and destabilize the region. Without brilliant foriegn policy like that I might be out of a job.

Who are you kidding, Smash? Gore's solution to the war on terror would be something to the effect of "How can we negotiate with them to make them stop?", mostly because God forbid that a democrat actually commit real ground troops to a war effort. "Oh my god! Soldiers might die!". Aside from that, we'd still be in a recession, and the job market would look like it did after Carter got done in the white house. Thank god the Republicans were able to leave the economy in such good shape that slick willie was able to auto-pilot it through the 90's without ******* it up.

MORON When in history has that ever been proven to be the case, exactly? Who committed troops in World War 2? Who committed troops in Korea, Vietnam, Bosnia, and so on and so on.

Oh wait, I see the diffrence. Those weren't situations where we committed troops solely to protect the financial intrests of freinds of the ruling party. Who pulled troops out of Korea? Repulicans. Who pulled troops out of Vietnam? Republicans.

WHO ALLOWED THE GREATEST SINGLE TERROR ATTACK ON US SOIL DURING THEIR WATCH?

REPUBLICANS.

If you're going to spout random ******** at least get it right. Republicans are theparty who have allways been soft pussies on defense unwilling to use force for any other reason than to generate income for their freinds and families.

You mean would have gained jobs? Ulike loosing massive amounts of them during this administration?

Right, I understand. The way it works is, Repulicans get into office, and ALLWAYS inherit a bad economy that doesn't actually show up untill they cut taxes on the ultra rich, then the country spirals into massive debt and the dolllar comes close to collapsing and Democrats get elected and reap the benefits of the brilliant Republican policies by ballancing the budget, creating massive amounts of jobs and presiding over the greatest economic boom in history.

Riiiiight.

I think you need to check you math, there, Stephen Hawking. The only place where the economy is recovering is in the pockets of oil companies who are seeing their last cnahce to gouge prices now that their whiney little ***** is on the way out of the white house. Stay tuned for $3 a gallon gas prices before the end of the year. They need to make thier money now before the looting is over.

Let’s keep it in my lifetime. Bosnia was a UN Peacekeeping mission. The only action that took any stones whatsoever was the bombing, and he ****** those up. The only reason we pulled troops out of Vietnam was the volume of the pissing, whining, complaining liberals. We pulled out basically to shut them up. You seem pissed because you didn’t get a chance to get in on the action. Now, when all we are doing is pre-emptily protecting ourselves, you seem to think it’s ok to strike up the old band line and go again. Nice liberal reaction, ******.

Who was too busy getting his apple polished and redefining simple English language words to do something about the man responsible for those attacks?

Quote:

They may not be astronomical, but the jobs are coming back. With your boy, we’d be too busy worried about trying not to offend militant tree huggers and anti-globalization twats to make any significant or effective efforts at halting the recession. Your previous boy left us this mess, don’t forget that.

And yes, with the exception of George Bush, Sr. Republican presidents have been inheriting Democratic ****-ups for the last quarter of a century. Debt finances growth, genius.

As for gas prices, if you can’t afford to drive your car, take the damn bus. It won’t be a problem for me. Gas prices are do for an adjustment to 50 years of inflation anyway. If the liberals in America can’t get that through their thick skulls then tough ****** We still win. Spend the next 4 years ******** about it.

Oh, I see. You're the party of limp wristed pussies that bows to public pressure in an instant. Good point. That hadn't occured to me. As opposed to the Democrats who provide unwavering principled leadership. It'd be nice to have a party in power whose moral compas didn't point directly at the latest opinion polls but instead who knew the diffrence between right and wrong.

Pre-emptively protecting ourselves from what exactly? Was Spain preemtively protecting themselves from terror attack too?

Who trained them in geurilla combat and providem them with funding, weapons, and training?

Ding ding ding!!

Regan and Bush. They were pre-empting us from the horror of the USSR controlling Afganistan. More excellent foreign policy on the part of Republicans. "Hey, Ron, the Freedom Fighters crashed an airplane into the Pentagon! Gee I wondered where they learned how to organise something like that?"

"Murble murble"

"Right, right. How are those strained carrots treating ya big guy?"

Who? Clinton? Hahahaha. Clinton who created a budget SURPLUS that Bush squandered in a year. Clinton who created tens of millions of jobs. Clinton who presided over the greatest exonomic expantion in this countries history. Funny one.

Debt finances growth? Hell, why have a budget at all then? Let's just spend spend spend!!!

That's the Republican philosophy at any rate. Allways spending taxpayers money. Spend spend spend.

It'll be nice to have a fiscally responsible party back in power again.

Hell, you're right. I know, why don't you send Exxon a check directly for a few grand. It's not important that not only has government welfare for oil compaines increased massively but also gas prices have skyrocketed.

How odd that such a thing happened on the watch of a president who accepted hundreds of millions of dollars from the saudi's for both of his campaigns.

How odd!


Party's over. Kerry wins and the best part he gets to appoint at least two if not three SCOTUS justices pretty much gauranteeing a liberal interpertation of the Constitution guaranteeing personal freedoms for the rest of my life.

I can't wait for idiots to start crying after the election.

"How could Bush not win?? Everyone I know voted for him!"

See? We need more wars on terror. ***** the restraint you people call for. Lets go out and play whack-a-mole with the entire third world, because you know once we get the muslim extremists in line, Those little despotic regimes in Asia and Africa will have to go next.

Aside from your blatant bashing of one of the greatest American leaders in history, training the afghans served a purpose. And it worked, too. Then your guy Bill stepped in and pissed em off something fierce. Thanks for that. Thanks to all the “lets play nice” retards in this country who kept slick willie in office for 8 years. He still failed to act on the threat, and let it fester out there in the stone age.

Surely you’re not stupid enough to fail to recognize that Clinton didn’t create a damn thing. Clinton got to sign our bills for 8 years after inheriting a wonderfully placed economy from the 12 year pax republicanus. The only people who benefit from Democrats in power are people too lazy to get off their asses and get a job or too lazy to get a job that doesn’t require a union. Oh, and I suppose the single mom who was too stupid to make him wear a condom, or to keep her legs closed in the first place, who is too lazy to do the work necessary to get through her own situation. So yeah, basically lazy people love democrats. Which one are you? Oh yeah, I forgot. You’re the other group of people who loves democrats. You’re a new england liberal. /mourn. Why couldn’t there be an unstable fault in both havens of the left wing wackos?

Kerry will not win. You’re right, if he did, we’d be ******* The empire would truly speed its decline. However, we stole the last election to save the country from dull Al, we can steal this one to save it from dull John.

Muslim extremists like the Saudis who bankroll the Repblican Party?

Yeah I agree, let's go get them. Once we get a party in power that isn't in the pocket of muslim extremists we'll have a chance to do that. Once we have a party that isn't so scared ******** of North Korea that they don't dare do anything but give them money and move troops away from them in cowering fear we migh have a chance to really make the world a safer place.

I can't wait.

Yeah, it got three thousand American's killed.

You're essentially pissing on their corpses now. I wish you people would learn a little Patriotism and respect those who died on 9-11 instead of using them for political gain and to invade countries who weren't involved in the slightest. It borders on treason the way Republicans happily embrace the nation that spawned such terror. Saudi Arabia.

Right. Twelve years of Republicans leading to...

Massive ressesion, RAISING TAXES and huge national debt.

Nah. Bush is so bad at lying that it's far too late for him to repair the damage. If he had the skill of a Regan, or even the raw intelect of his father (who I like alot actually) he'd have a shot. Considering he's a confused frat boy with almost apparent strings being pulled by Big Oil he doesn't lie nearly effectively enough to win. He's done. His poll numbers will only go down from here. This election isn't going to be nearly as close as everyone thinks it will.

WHO ALLOWED THE GREATEST SINGLE TERROR ATTACK ON US SOIL DURING THEIR WATCH?

REPUBLICANS.


Hmmm... Sounds to me like you're just establishing a pattern of the Dems getting us into a mess and the Reps getting us out of that mess. Pattern just keeps on going on I guess...

Let's see. WW2. Ok. We needed to get into that. Um... Which party dragged their feet and waited until we got smacked in the butt before finally taking action? Which party tried to stay "out of it", until it was almost too late? Yup. Your precious Democrats. Wait, this pattern will be repeated...

Korea? Ok. That one was a mess from the get go, and the decision to go or not go wasn't really an issue. However, which party leadership grossly underestimated the enemy forces and resolve? Which party basically sent in forces piecemeal and let them get ground up for the first year of the conflict because they were unwilling to actually be decisive on the ground? Yup. Once again, the Democrats...


Vietnam? Are you actually claiming this as a good thing that the Dems got us into a fight that we had no business partaking in? In this case, we had no UN mandate to be there at all. We were just causing trouble. Which party ignored the will of the people in Vietnam? Which party basically propped up a puppet in opposition to the popular leader there? Which party, when the UN decision was to allow for voting to determine who should lead chose to have their guy refuse elections because they knew their guy couldn't win? Which party adopted the "dominoe theory" as their justification for getting us into that war? Yup. One again, the moronic Democrats. And once again, they tip toed their way into the conflict, with no cohesive plan of attack, and no clear long term objective in mind. Just toss troops into the meat grinder and hope it'll all work out in the end. Yup. Brilliant. And which party finally had the guts to say that this was moronic? Again, the Republicans.


Bosnia? You're talking about the administration that once again refused to send in ground forces in favor of just dropping bombs from a safe distance? Which party could have defused the situation in a few months with the right UN assistance and the right amount of ground forces, but once again tip toed along trying vainly to fight a war without actually fighting it?


And let's not even talk about Somalia, right? Once again, failing to have any sort of real plan beyond a "show of force". Once again, missing the resolve of the enemy. Once again, sending forces in piecemeal instead of just getting the job done. Admittedly, Somalia was a mess from the get go, but if you're going to send in ground forces, you need to be decisive.


That's the pattern I see. Dems who toe the line around using actual force, but then when it's time to do so, step so gingerly into battle that they get soldiers killed for no real reason. Look. I know the body count is growing in Iraq. However, we actually like toppled a regime there. As opposed to Vietnam, Korea, and Somalia, where we more or less did nothing. Low body count doesn't mean much if you aren't actually accomplishing anything. I'd rather 1000 US soldiers die doing something of value, then 10 soldiers die doing nothing other then pissing people off around the globe. I'm betting most US military personel would agree with that as well.


As to 9/11. Hmmm... The number of increasingly violent attacks by Al-queda in the Clinton years should have been a hint something was coming. The fact that it occured 9 months after Clinton left is not the issue. Clearly, it was planned earlier then that. Bush being in office was irrelevant. Clinton's administration was so afraid to take any decisive action against Al-queda for fear of losing ground on his Isreal/palesinian peace deal that he ignored a threat that killled 3 thousand US civilians. That's the real story.


What I see is a pattern of the Dems being handed something that is working, ******** it all to hell, then tossing it like a hot potato to the Reps screaming: "Fix it! Fix it...". If they had a clue how to handle foreign affairs, we likely wouldn't have had a 9/11 at all.


Same with the economy. You would be hard pressed to find any economist who will say that we were not heading into a severe recession when Bush took office. Not "after he took office". When he took office. That means if you're going to place blame on a president and his administration (which is questionable when talking about the economy anyway), you have to place that blame squarely on Bill Clinton's head. He took an economy that was running like a well oiled machine and just let it run until it crashed. His administration missed all the signs that we were heading towards a crash. They made no attempt to slow down the dot com boom. Instead, his administration just took advantage of a record growth (which they did *not* create), and increased taxes higher and higher. When the crash started, businesss did not have the leeway needed to ride it out, so they went bankrupt. 3 years of record high taxes meant that they were ok as long as the economy was booming, but at the first sign of downturn, they had no reserves to draw on.

And that's why record numbers of businesses went belly up in 2001 and 2002. It had nothing to do with Bush or his administration. It had everything to do with events that occured during Clinton's administration. The sooner people realize this somewhat obvious truth, the sooner folks will realise the current Dem rhetoric for what it is.

Hmm... last I checked our founding fathers believed in no income tax and a very limited federal government. So limited in fact that they stated that anything not explicitly stated in the constitution as a power of the federal government would be reserved for the states and the people. That is nothing even close to what the Liberals of today believe. It also isn't close to what the Conservatives stand for. Either side claiming that they are the party of the founding fathers is total hogwash!

i don't live in the USA, so i get my news from different places than you , but I've gotta say that political 'parties' aside, bush and his cronies have done far far more damage to the reputation of the US than clinton ever did. we all had so much sympathy for you all after 9/11. and most of us still want to be your friends. BUT, you have to get rid of the idea that these people (Rummy, Perle Chaney, Rice et al) are doing ANYONE any favours. Moebius, my friend, these people are self-serving incompetant downright bl*%$y EVIL war criminals of the LOWEST order. I know whatever I say wont change your mind, but Ive gotta say...dont inflict these crazies on us or youselves for another 4 years. The human race is fragile and cant take much more of their abuse.

It is a matter of historical fact that the Bush family has had a relationship with the Saudi monarchy since at least Prescott Bush. Also, in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 while all the planes in the nation were grounded, there were a few flying around and picking up bin Ladens family for safe passage back to Saudi Arabia.

Both Bush and Kerry's families can be traced to very powerful families at the birth of the nation. Both families are direct decendants of English Monarchy. They became very rich by illegaly smuggling opium into China as agents for the Brittish. They were also Torries. No bs, look it up.

Just the facts, bubba.

I didn't create the massive amount of money given by the House of Saud to the House of Bush for the express purpose of winning elections and keeping a tyrannical, despotic, fundementalist muslim regime in power in the country of Ossama Bin Laden and the vast, vast, majority of 9-11 hijackers where 90 percent of the funding for Al Queda originates.

Bush is in bed with muslims who despise the US. Apparently, you think that's a dandy idea. I guess appeasing them will keep them from acting against us.

WW2 was a mess? I guess you're right, considering your sensibilities lean far more towards the Axis powers than with the Allies in that conflict. I mean, I'm not implying you're a fasicst, but clearly you'd prefer an expantionist strong military leader than quasi socialist egalitarians.

BASED ON WHAT, EXACTLY?

Did the monkies that flew out of your *** during your mescaline trip tell you that was true? The Republican party was dominated by ISOLATIONISTS during WW2. The Democrats had to drag the Repulicans kicking and screaming into the war and without Pearl Harbor they probably wouldn't have been able to do so. Lend/Lease ring a bell?

How'd that war turn out, by the way? Oh yes, that's right, the dictators were removed from power, are being tried for war crimes all without hundreds of US troops dying and thosands being maimed.

What a horrible model. Much better to send hundreds to die and thousands to be crippled for life to accomplish something less effective.

Quote:

That's the pattern I see. Dems who toe the line around using actual force, but then when it's time to do so, step so gingerly into battle that they get soldiers killed for no real reason.

Yeah, gingerly. Dropping Atomic Bombs was acting very gingerly. Johnson's alocation of troops in Vietnam was acting very gingerly. I think what you're trying to say is sending troops without utter disregard to the lives of american soldiers

Quote:

Look. I know the body count is growing in Iraq. However, we actually like toppled a regime there.

To what effect is the question. We toppled a brutal dictator who no will argue, was an insane murderous lunatic. Not that things like that ussualy stop us from supporting a leader, but that's another issue. The thing is he was the leader of a Secular muslim state. There is at the very least a 50/50 chance that the government of Iraq will end up being a fundementalist islamic religous puppet of Syria and Iran. If that happens, are we really better off?

and Somalia, where we more or less did nothing.

I'm amazed we're even talking about Somalia. If you're going to bring Somalia up as a failure you might as well bring Grenada up as a ringing success.


Quote:

Low body count doesn't mean much if you aren't actually accomplishing anything.

Does high body count mean much if you aren't actually accomplishing anything? Because I haven't seen us accomplishing much yet in Iraq.

Quote:

I'd rather 1000 US soldiers die doing something of value, then 10 soldiers die doing nothing other then pissing people off around the globe. I'm betting most US military personel would agree with that as well.

You know, I don't think they would. I think most US military personel would tell you that they'd prefer that no US soldiers die doing anything that isn't absolutely nessicary and couldn't possibly be resolved by other means.

As to 9/11. Hmmm... The number of increasingly violent attacks by Al-queda in the Clinton years should have been a hint something was coming.
[/quote]
And...what exactly? What would have been the action that adminstration should have taken in your tiny little mind?

[quote]
The fact that it occured 9 months after Clinton left is not the issue.
[/quote]
The hell it isn't. If it had hapened during a Gore presidency can you seriously, with a straight face tell me your perople wouldn't be actively blaming the man for it? Of course they would. Just as they try to hang it on Clinton which is beyond ludicrous.


[quote]
Clearly, it was planned earlier then that. Bush being in office was irrelevant. Clinton's administration was so afraid to take any decisive action against Al-queda for fear of losing ground on his Isreal/palesinian peace deal that he ignored a threat that killled 3 thousand US civilians. That's the real story.
[/quote]

Thank God Bush took decisive action against them when he got into office then. Oh wait. That's right, he didn't. He ignored a threat that killed 3 thousand US civilians. THAT'S THE REAL STORY.

[quote]
What I see is a pattern of the Dems being handed something that is working, ******** it all to hell, then tossing it like a hot potato to the Reps screaming: "Fix it! Fix it...". If they had a clue how to handle foreign affairs, we likely wouldn't have had a 9/11 at all.
[/quote]
Right. If they had just trained terrorists how to use weapons, improvise munitions, organise, launder money, and pilot planes like the Republicans did there wouldn't have been a problem. The reality is Republicans are and allways have been a bunch of armchair Generals who love the idea of war but wet their pants when one actually occurs.

[quote]
Same with the economy. You would be hard pressed to find any economist who will say that we were not heading into a severe recession when Bush took office. Not "after he took office".
[/quote]
Really? Amazing. I find it rather startling that the VAST MAJORITY of econmists (including several Nobel Prize winners) say the exact opposite. In point of fact, pretty much only economists in the employ of the Administration or the Republican party even attempt to make the case that he inherited one.

[quote]
When he took office. That means if you're going to place blame on a president and his administration (which is questionable when talking about the economy anyway), you have to place that blame squarely on Bill Clinton's head. He took an economy that was running like a well oiled machine and just let it run until it crashed.
[/quote]
Yeah it was doing so well at the end of Bush Sr.'s term that there was massive debt to the point where he was forced to raise taxes fearing a collapse of the federal monetary system and Republican's in Congress shut the government down because there wasn't enough revenue in the economy to pay government workers. Well oiled machine. Right.


[quote]
His administration missed all the signs that we were heading towards a crash. They made no attempt to slow down the dot com boom. Instead, his administration just took advantage of a record growth (which they did *not* create), and increased taxes higher and higher. When the crash started, businesss did not have the leeway needed to ride it out, so they went bankrupt. 3 years of record high taxes meant that they were ok as long as the economy was booming, but at the first sign of downturn, they had no reserves to draw on.
[/quote]
Yeah, good logic. If only fiscially irresponsible companies who never once turned a proft had MORE cash to spend on Super Bowl ads they would have been fine!

[quote]
And that's why record numbers of businesses went belly up in 2001 and 2002. It had nothing to do with Bush or his administration. It had everything to do with events that occured during Clinton's administration. The sooner people realize this somewhat obvious truth, the sooner folks will realise the current Dem rhetoric for what it is.
[/quote]
Haha somewhat obvious. In the way that's it obvious to muslim's that America must be destroyed I guess. It's amazing how many things become obvious when you maipulate the facts to fit your idealogical view isn't it?

Hell, why am I telling you that, you can't even begin to examine a fact with any sort of intelectual rigor. In point of fact you randomly create falsehoods to fit your views. Like Republicans being in favor of the US going to war in WW2, when in reality they were as dead set against it as it was possible to be.

Don't you ever grow tired of being amazingly and so easily proven wrong? Apparently not. I suspect you're a ********* of some sort.

Lol. A post full of strawmen. Typical Smasharoo...


Look. You're the one starting with the assumption that the party with the president in the office must be accountable for everything that happens during his presidency. I just find it odd that you'll gleefully pin 9/11 and the recession of 2001 on Bush, but then turn right around and say it was Republicans that prevented us from getting into WW2 until almost too late. Um... Who was president? Roosevelt? Yeah. I think so...

Take it one way or the other Smash. Don't pick and choose methods as you wish to make your argument sound better. That may play well to the uneducated masses (which I guess is why you're a Democrat), but for those of us who actually have the ability to think for ourselves, it's a pretty obvious sham.


So which is it Smash? We gonna argue issues based purely on who was president at the time? Or put them in historical context? You decide. I will tell you though that if you're going to decide to blame a president solely for things that happen during his administration, that your whole line of reasoning makes your "favorite" presidents (oh, like Roosevelt and Kennedy) look really really crappy. Um... Worse then Bush really.


If you accept (as I do) that historical context has meaning, then you have to accept that Bush cannot be solely blamed for 9/11, and can't be blamed at all for the recession. You can blame him for Iraq though. That was all his baby...

One thing I think even the Republican supporters can agree on is the following;

BEFORE BUSH: The world generally regarded the U.S. as a country with imperialist/expansionist dreams it would never act upon to any great extent, because it wanted to be part of a global community (even if it wanted the dominant role). Your former President was considered a bit of a curiosity because he lied about his proclivity for cheating on his wife. Worrisome at times, but generally an "ally" that could be counted upon to play by the rules for the most part.

AFTER BUSH: The world regards the U.S. as a state solely interested in itself, with no respect for other nations or ideologies whatsoever. Your President is seen as blatantly dishonest, easily manipulated (and manipulative), and openly hostile. More importantly, however...Bush is perceived as a man of limited intelligence. The only superpower on this planet is being governed by a dim man, a man who regularly swallows his own foot in spite of the best efforts of a coterie of speech writers. As a figurehead, he's an embarassement for your country.

Now at this point, American patriotism may rear its ugly head and quotes of the "Yeah? Who cares what the rest of the world thinks, ? We're the STATES! DEAL WITH IT!" type, and other such drivel, may start to appear...and that's fine. I would never dream of trying to convince the sheep that their blind shepherd isn't leading them off the cliff.

I'm just saying that if the bulk of the world thinks your President is as intelligent as a sea cucumber and as respectable as your average telemarketer, they can't all be wrong.

Only when he has a majority of both houses of Congress.

Can the President declare war? Oh thats right, he can't. That may be irrellevant to the current adminstration however Roosevelt would have actually, you know respected the Constitution of the United States and not committed us to war without it being declared.

Quote:

I did take it one way you bufoon. It was you who claimed that Democrats didn't want to commit to WW2 COMPLETELY IN ERROR. Pardom me if I'm repeadetly forced to correct your gaping factual errors.

Let's see, you ***** up the simplest US History 101 concepts attributing the exact opposite views to the wrong parties, but I'm trying to play to the uneducated? Were that true, you'd be happily agreeing with me as you're easily the least educated person who has ever posted about politics on this board.

I DO put them in historical context. Unfortunately, you are unaware of what the historical context actually was.

BASED ON WHAT EXACTLY?

Yet again you make a random declarative statement and back it up with....

OH YES, NOTHING

Now of course you'll just ignore this point and blow more hot air around while you suck the **** of any member of your party regardless of results.

Well if that's your view then I guess:

You can't credit Regan with the fall of the USSR.
You can't credit Regan with any sort of economic recovery.
You can blame him for the crippling national debt though, that was all his baby.

You can't have it both ways. Either Presidents allways inherit everything from the last administration, in which case everything YOU CREDIT Republicans with is invalid OR you can credit Presidents with what happens under their watch. In which case 9-11 is Bush's fault, and Clinton presided over the greatest economic growth in history.

What you CAN'T do is blame Democrats for everything that happens during their terms, credit Republicans with everything that happens during Democratic terms, and credit Republicans with everything that happens during their terms.

Pick one. The way you argue currently, it wouldn't matter if the Republican party EVEN EXISTED for you to give them credit for things. You could replace "Republican" with "Martian" in all of your arguments and they'd be just as logically sound.

Idiot.

You mean the same president who threatened to stack the Supreme Court by adding more justices if they found his new programs to be unconstitutional? Then proceeded to get those laws and programs passed starting us down the road of reinterpreting the constitution anytime it didn't allow our government to do whatever it wanted? Yea right.
