The Successes of President George Bush

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.

LOVED THE POST AND CAN'T EXPRESS HOW MUCH I AGREE.

Welcome to the "other" side. I know of at least 2 people who were die hard Bush supporters in 2000 that will not be voting for him this go around. When I say die hard I mean my friends father has a picture shaking hands with Bush in his living room. Of course my cousin and another cousins husband are total Bushies, but they are also getting rich in oil and benefitting from all those policies that are killing the rest of us middle americans.

Oh. ya.

His policies have successfully reduced the unemployment rate but raised the percentage of families below the poverty line. So people are getting jobs they just aren't getting decent well paying jobs.

AND ITS TRULY AMAZING HOW OFTEN CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS ARE SO QUICK TO INSULT PEOPLE FOR BEING POLITICALLY LIBERAL.


Guess us "libs" aren't the only ones tossing around stereotypes....

Have you also noticed in this thread how much the Republicans are avoiding truly and openly discussion Bush's horrid record, instead trying to cloud the thread everytime a Democrat makes a valid point.

Bush has an excellent record. He laid out his plan from day one and hasn't vered from it. Unlike Kerry who can't decide on what he stands for... I guess it's like underware, Kerry changes his ideas and beliefs daily.

When 9/11 happened he said that the terrorist regeims would be brought to justice and anyone harboring or aiding a terrorist would also pay the concequences.... and you've seen him stand by those words.

Really? Then where is Osama been Forgotten?? Oh, that's right, now Bush says he doesn't think about Osama that much, he's not that important.

LMAO, can't catch him, so he says like a kid in a schoolyard, "I didn't want him much anyhow".

Meanwhile about 13 to 15 thousand Iraqi civilians are dead.

uhhhh.....guess you do not watch much news? Perhaps you missed Bush on the morning news today announcing for all to hear that he CANNOT win the war on terror? Yeppers, that is some RESOLVE....can we say FLIP FLOP, FLIP FLOP

Additionally, would suggest you serious look at the shape our country is in since Bush took charge...yes, the war on terror is important, but we cannot destroy the very fabric of the American way of life in fighting that war, and that is exactly what that man is doing.

How long has it been since America has had an actual attack on it's homeland? How many presidents have had to deal with the different emotions the American people have felt after such an attack? How many presidents have actually did what he said he would do?

Personally, I am so tired of people not thinking for themselves and getting on the bashing-bandwagon. Let's just thing of what WOULD have happened it he had just talked about defending the country and didn't actually do it. Those terrorists would have acted just like the neighborhood bullies realizing that the one they just beat up is a wuss and they have every chance of another successful fight. It is more than obvious that many of those terrorists would like to see American totally destroyed...they had enough guts to actually attack us on our land! George stood up and said, "You wanna fight with our country, huh?" and did something about it. Put ANY president in office during that time and you would probably realize that they all struggle. Who wouldn't? I've heard people say, "Bush makes me miss Clinton." Could you imagine what would have happened if Clinton was in office when the World Trade Centers were attacked and destroyed??!!! Nixon? Very few would have been able to deal with it, and I doubt strongly that ANY president could have kept the economy completely stable.

Those attacks cost us a whole lot, and George has had to deal with that. There were thousands of jobs in those towers...they were all lost with a missle. Huge amounts of revenue was generated with thouse towers...again lost with a missle. He's not the reason for such a hit on our economy...he's had to try to fix the hole that that hateful attack left in all of America's life.

We can't pretend that that day never happened and that it didn't effect us tremendously. But instead of intelligently determining the reasons for this mess, people turn their heads from that devistating day and settle their sights on the president who's trying to do what he can to get us as back to normal as we were before that day.

You seem to have really studied up on the negative things that have happened since Bush has been in office, why don't you take a look at the wreckage he's had to work with and then re-evaluate. Was George W. the reason for the negative turn of America, or did the "neighborhood bully" burn and tear the canvas that American's are expecting him to create into a masterpiece?

...and be honest and intelligent when you think about it...

Yeah, men from Saudi Arabia attacked us with the suport of Al Queda headquartered in Afghanistan. So we attacked Afghanistan & IRAQ???

I'm sure the surviving relatives of the 13 to 15 thousand dead innocent Iraqi civilians appreciate the irony in all this, or maybe they will all just hate us for generations to come.

Afghanistan, YES.

Iraq, NO.
