To Liberals, I challenge you to agree with Bush on 1 thing?

Question

I never heard a liberal agree with ANYTHING Bush does, so I am wondering if it is just your lifestyle to wine and moan about everything a Republican does, or is there an actual ounce of thought behind this strategy.

So, I just want one liberal to come up with ONE thing they agree with Bush on. Lets see if you guys can do it.

Although I know most of you will say "Nothing, he is stupid" or something like that, I know Liberals. So prove me wrong!

Answer 1

I agree that Bush should have soldiers in Iraq. Don't get me wrong.. id rather our men and women NOT be there.. but it is necessary and I think it will help our country in the long run once that war is over.

Answer 2

Actually, this question was aksed by a liberal yesterday.

Off the top of my head, I think the president is right on immigration and I think the House is wrong.

I wasn't necessarily against the Faith-based programs initiative. I just think a couple of tweaks would have made it a better program (a few more protections needed to be in there), and I was shocked that it was his program, but it was greatly underfunded.

In theory, No Child Left Behind was nice. In practice, it was a disaster.

So there's a few. One where I agree fully, and two where I thought the ideas were alright, but the needed better execution.

Oh, and I was for the war in Afghanistan, and was only upset when I felt we dropped the ball by going into Iraq.

So, there's one more.

Answer 3

I really don't understand why people like you have such a blind support for someone who is so inept. Bush has done an atrocious job since he has been in office. The list of things he has mishandled could go on for pages. To still support him at this point when he has proven himself to be so useless is just the height of stupidity.

However, I took at look at the web site and found something I agree with (see link). He has done something to help poor people buy houses, which is a good thing. Of course if he stopped giving tax breaks to the super rich and increased minimum wage perhaps they would be able to afford a home without needing hand outs. But I certainly like the concept. I have no idea if the scheme is actually working, but if it is great.

Answer 4

Hey I'm a liberal retired Marine. and have been liberal all my life. My family is liberal. In fact during the revolutionary war my ancestors were conscientious objectors. They chose not to fight but instead supplied food and mules to George Washington's Army.

My predecessors came to this Country in 1625 to Connecticut Colony and have been liberals ever since.

Now as for agreeing with Bush I liked Bushes first strike policy. Unfortunately the lazy lying CIA gave him the rong (texas for wrong) information on Sadams location. And the choice of bomb was completely wrong.

He could have flown a B52 from Diego Garcia dropped an Atomic bomb (we have hundreds in surplus) and ended the war in 1 minute. All for nothing more than a tank of airplane fuel.

It is not to late we can still nuke the mideast.

Answer 5

I don't agree with anything that the ruling class does really, whether they call themselves Republicans or Democrats. So no I don't agree with anything Bush says, but I also don't agree with what anything the Dems say either, they are in essence extensions of the same system. I just thinks it's funny that we even argue about the 2 parties in this country, they share the same goals and ideals. The agendas of both clearly do not have the American working class in mind, yet we keep right on going to the polls and voting for them. I would also like to point out that I am by no means a "liberal" or a "conservative". I do think it's funny that latly the Repubs have stopped calling the Dems Democrats and now call them "liberals" silly.

I mean do you people even know what a political liberal is? All it means is that you belive that liberty is the primary political value.


Broadly speaking, liberalism seeks a society characterized by freedom of thought for individuals, limitations on power, especially of government and religion, the rule of law, the free exchange of ideas, a market economy that supports relatively free private enterprise, and a transparent system of government in which the rights of minorities are protected. In modern society, liberals favour a liberal democracy with open and fair elections, where all citizens have equal rights by law and an equal opportunity to succeed.

That description doesn't seem so bad to me. Here is another little tidbit of info.

Classical liberalism is a political philosophy that supports individual rights as pre-existing the state, a government that exists to protect those moral rights, ensured by a constitution that protects individual autonomy from other individuals and governmental power, private property, and a laissez-faire economic policy. Many elements of this ideology developed in the 17th and 18th centuries. As such, it is often seen as being the natural ideology of the industrial revolution and its subsequent capitalist system. The early liberal figures that libertarians now describe as their fellow "classical liberals" rejected many foundational assumptions which dominated most earlier theories of government, such as the Divine Right of Kings, hereditary status, and established religion, and focuses on individual freedom, reason, justice and tolerance. Such thinkers and their ideas helped to inspire the American Revolution and French Revolution.

But back to your question, I'm trying to think of anything he has said that I might agree with. I guess that Osama-bin Laden is a radical and a fear monger, I agree with that. I'm sure back in his frat boy days he might have said hey gimme another beer would ya, I agree with that. He, at some point I'm sure, said set me up another line of coke would ya. That I don't agree with.

Answer 6

You say liberal like it's a dirty word. A good scientist should question authority, and the current authority is a conservative that wants to infringe on my civil liberties. That said, Sadam Hussien was paying suicide bombers' families $25K for having their sons and daughters blow themselves up in Isreal. Bush didn't have to lie to me to make me want rid of Hussien, there was plenty of legitemate reasons. So yes, I agree with Bush that Sadam Hussien had to be removed.

And I'm not sure if you could indentify a liberal if you were standing in front of AFL-CIO Headquarters, that is until one disagreed with you.

Answer 7

His position on immigration reform is the right one, says this liberal. I also loved his invasion of Afghanistan. Finally, I agree with his policy on India, engaging more closely with that country. Oh yeah, and I also happen to agree that we can't withdraw from Iraq on a rigid timetable.

He's still got plenty of strikes against him, though, starting with his habit of issuing signing statements when he signs legislation into law, and that he even invaded Iraq at all.

Hey, here's a challenge for YOU and other conservatives - where do you DISagree with your savior Bush?

Answer 8

I agree about the nature of some of the serious threats he states that the country is facing. But as any reasonable person might, I disagree as to what to do to address some of them.

But I sense a hidden agenda here... are you looking to pick a fight?

This reminds me of the Monty Python sketch where a guy comes in and says "I want to have an argument", and the other guy says, "No, you don't".

No, you don't.

Answer 9

efficient we were greeted as liberators, that did not very last. they did no longer have chemical guns, those that were used on the Kurds were utilized in 1988. I want those with the theory that they were shipped out ought to imagine a second, ought to you deliver poison gasoline on your nearest enemy? extra heavily, we had consistent fly overs, and all of us understand there have been no shipments everywhere. Saddam easily wasn't too drawn to attacking the U. S. over right here. He had to attack his associates if something to take their land. He'd benefit no longer something by employing attacking the U. S. right here. We spent ten years there, and its extremely glaring that even as the struggling with conflict is over, like Afghanistan, after we leave that's going to bypass decrease back to what it became in the previous, till the subsequent strong-arm guy takes over, and the subsequent one must be a actual terrorist. The liberal media would not ignore about it, we figured it. Going into Iraq became a giant waste of time and funds and lives. And the in ordinary words element we'd want to continually have executed is get Osama, and it became Obama who did that.

Answer 10

I am a liberal and proud of it!!! I also agree with Jr. when he says he doubts we'll ever find out the senior administration official who leaked Valerie Plames identity to Novak. After all it is a big administration. See even liberals can agree with him.

Answer 11

I don't really care what Bush does. He isn't running things....he's a front man for the fat cats and corporatist who own this government. (yep, both Democrats AND Republicans)

You should have asked "I challenge you to agree with the administration on 1 thing".

Let's see.....now, it's about what they do, not what they say....that eliminates most of their policy......OK. I agree with the administration's policy to do nothing about restricting women's reproductive rights. They may TALK about being "anti-abortion", but what have they really DONE about it?

There ya go.
