Since I don't agree with everything Bush has said and done--I guess that makes me a "lib".
Let's see--Bush's tax cut saved me oh...five bucks this year. And I can almost guarantee I make more money than you do. In your tax bracket you saved three bucks if that. You can't get lunch at McDonald's with three bucks. You need to make a mil or so before you really save a nice chunk of money. So don't act like these tax cuts are doing 90%+ of us any good. No we don't need to raise taxes. But we sure as hell could stop spending so much money.
$9 billion has gone missing in Iraq. Where the hell did it go? Halliburton was charging the military $2.27 a gallon for gas in Iraq where gas is a nickel at the pump. After Hurricane Katrina Bush suspended the prevailing wage laws in Louisiana (Which was what six bucks an hour?) gave all the reconstruction contracts to Halliburton and brought in illegal immigrants to do the work. Six billion and ten months later there are still refridgerators in the trees in New Orleans. Where the hell did that money go?
Bush's Medicare Overhaul is costing us half a trillion and it's really damn confusing to seniors or anyone. We don't even get the prescription drugs at a bulk discount like we already do for veterans. And God forbid Grandma wants to save fifty bucks (even more for us taxpayers) a month on medication for herself by buying her prescription from Canada because Bush makes THAT illegal. What happened to free enterprise? Who's talking socialized medicine now?
Not to mention the bulk of money for the War on Terror goes to places that voted for Bush (i.e podunk towns that no terrorist would bother with because nobody would notice if they disappeared) and big cities that might actually get hit have their funding slashed. All of this while we found out Bush disbanded the FBI team hunting for OBL a year ago. And what the hell ever happened to that Anthrax Killer anyway?
Gas prices are surging and that effects everything across the board. You couldn't buy a gallon of gas with your tax cut. And finally the cost of medical insurance is through the roof. You probably don't have any and if you do you're covered under Mom's policy.
I honestly don't think you really wanted answers to your question. You just wanted to post some talk-radio insult. The only way you feel manly is by glomming onto hard right politics because you probably still live with Mom and have never gotten laid.

Bush cut taxes , by cutting State support, Schools and many other things then County & States had to raise taxes to compensate, Now what Did President Bush do with all the Surplus we had when he got in. ?? He put it into War , a good money maker for the Country "Right" and He or some one in the future is going to have to find a way out of the Red, it will never be a Republican.

I'm not a LIBERAL!!!!
I'm Conservative......But President George B. had a bug up his a$$ about Iraq from the time he first got in office.
Liberals always want more money for more government run social programs.......so for them raising the taxes is a no brainer....it's what they do...they really want The U.S.A. to be a social democracy similar to France... They "the Liberals" would then be happy for about 5 seconds... and then they'd want something else....
The President of any country is always the first to be blamed no matter the crisis....He or she got the top job, so....blame them first.....
If the public can't be privy to all the pertinent facts concerning some international issue due to security problems and the BLABBER MOUTH MEDIA OF THE WORLD.. the national LEADERS GET BLAMED WHEN SOMEONE DOESN'T AGREE OR PEOPLE Cry ""Abuse"""!!!!!!!!..as if every person who cries abuse has really been abused...Just remember we in the USA are such bastards we'll abuse anyone at anytime... just look at our terrible military always raping and torturing people.......It's all such media Liberal driven B.S....
Please of you have a brain out there stop listening to all that blathering sh!t.
As far as G.B's affiliation to big oil goes.....Americans need to wake up and smell the coffee literally....We spend more on our daily consumption of coffee than we do for gasoline....petroleum is a limited resource...we don't have much of it in the USA....so we have to pay for it... the EU nations spend allot more on it than we do.. and we still have some of the lowest fuel efficient vehicle on the road...????does anyone get this point we are a selfish nation and we want what we want....It's not G.B's fault...
N.Korea should be left alone to stew in the poverty of Kim jong Il's ambition and when enough of the citizenry starve to death due to low crop production they will wake up...;again why should G.B. have to do anything about this..??? Let China stomp on the over reaching of N.K.

Umm... I think that most people who vote to raise taxes probably have very little income and receive more from the government than they pay in taxes.
I freakin' pay taxes out of my wazooo where I live (Florida) and I am ALL FOR LOWERING the taxes and cutting back on useless programs.
As for people who are down on Bush, what else can the oliberals do? They have no plan, so all they can do is use 20/20 hindsight to slam the "enemy", as they see him. It's like they'd sell out their own country just to be in power again. SAD.

We're not as ignorant as some may believe.
I feel that its not so much W's fault as it is the fault of the extreme right wings. I feel that they have lied to W. in order to get him to do their bidding. Unfortunately W. is quite gullible and believes what he is told without checking on things for himself. I am, more and more, starting to believe W. is as much a victim in all this as ALL the American people are. Dem's and Rep's alike. I'm not sure how it all came about, but it did and now we're all suffering for it. As for gas prices... the blame is equal parts that of W's and that of Big oil companies. Big oil put him in office and so he wants to "thank " them. That is , in my opinion, why he refuses to do anything about lowering the prices. Crude prices have nothing to do with the cost of gas. Oil companies have had their cost locked on for years. How else do you explain their record profits they report every quarter? W. should step up and recover some of the trust in public office by dropping the hammer on Big oil and the windfall profits they are STEALING from the American public.

We blame Bush because he's the Decider. He said so. We don't want to raise taxes on the wage earner, just corporate welfare queens

there have been answers... you do not listen...
why do conservatives only listen to people that talk about the same propaganda that they spew themselves? do you ever learn anything besides what you learned the first time you listened to Rush... after that it just seems like the same tired old lines from the 80s over and over again...
