Bush's Successes

Dear Reader,
I'm getting sick and tired of my fellow Americans
saying that the presidency of George W. Bush is a
failure. With the string of successes he's had,
nothing could be further from the truth. Let me list a
few:
1. He has successfully rid America of that troubling
budget surplus and turned it into a $500 billion
deficit.
2. He has successfully helped America's trading
partners have the highest trade surplus with us in
America's history.
3. He has successfully lowered the taxes for the
richest Americans and corporations at the expense of
99% of the American population.
4. He has successfully started another Viet Nam in
Iraq after lying to the whole world.
5. He has successfully pushed the price of gas up to
the highest level ever here in America.
6. He has successfully allowed American corporations
to dramatically increase their pollution.
7. He has successfully thrown about 10% of the
population out of work.
8. He has successfully allowed corporations to export
our best middle-class jobs.
9. He has successfully divided our country as never
before.
10. He has successfully driven our oldest allies away.
11. He has successfully united the terrorists as never
before (he said all along he was a uniter, not a
divider).
12. He has successfully broken his oath to uphold the
constitution of the United States of America.
13. He has successfully united Democrats (yay!) as
they haven't been for years (I told you he was a
uniter).
14. He has successfully driven me out of the
Republican party for the rest of my life.
You know, with a string of successes like that, it's a
wonder America is still standing.

I don't get this argument and I usually like what you point out. Please view both by this argument and let me know what you've got.
My understanding of the governor-ship in Texas is that most of the true power doesn't reside with the governor, so to my knowledge Jr. hadn't done much either.
--
His biggest piece on his resume (besides promising the tax cut) was that he got Democrats and Republicans to work together in Texas and would bring the same spirit to Washington.
If you want to discuss the tech sector boom that Clinton enjoyed, I guess you could say that he also got to see it explode just before he left office.
Of the 2.7 million jobs lost, guess what percentage was in the tech sector, and lost due to the dot.com bust....... lets see who can come the closest here.
I'm still at a loss as to how we're going to pay off not just the debt rang up in the last couple of years, but from all the years prior. We had what, 2-3 years of a balanced budget in the last 20+?
I also think Kerry should stop playing around with the issue, if he wants us to sacrifice for the greater good and pay more taxes, he should just say so. I for one, expect to pay more under his administration.
And I have no problem paying a little more, it's seeing that money go to greasing the palms he favors that would tick me off.
Kerry's can, and just may cost him the election.
Look at the past recent Presidents...which one was a Senator or Congressman?
You get offended without trying to understand what I am saying and go report me, and I think that in itself is childish.
If you wanted to really know anything, well, obviously you have internet access, then why dont you look it up? the information on Kerry is riddling the web, and maybe it would be more valuable to you than peoples posts seem to be.
I sure hope you don't go reporting this post too now, I am just trying to debate. I thought that was what this place was.
You keep claiming to be an Independent, but I think you've made up your mind who you're voting for. So just come out and say it. Kerry is obviously not going to say or do the exact things you want him to, but I think he represents what the people are most hoping for - change for the better. And he's trying to represent ALL of us.
(Sorry, if I'm assuming incorrectly that you're voting for Bush, perhaps someone has attacked you recently. Like I said I pop in for a few days and then it'll be another week or two before I'm back. During this last time off from the board I've noticed your posts are angrier or more foreceful. Perhaps you're just responding to the more liberal/Kerry slant (go left is posting quite a bit and you're trying to counter that?) of the board that I've noticed lately. Don't know, but if you're voting for Bush, just say so. We're all just posting our opinions here.)
I think that if a mule were running, the Democrats would vote for it because it isnt George Bush. It is pretty sad that the Democrats have a candidate that they cannot rally around and support.
