Question

but it's okay to bash Clinton any chance you get?

Dagblastit--1st Amendment. Google it please.

Please feel free to flip the names. I guess I should have added "Vice Versa" to the question.

AW, read Sunshine's answer

Answer 1

It is not wrong to ask any questions. Always ask questions.

Answer 2

There is nothing wrong with disagreeing with the President, no matter what party he is. The problem is that there a many, many people who are simply blinded by their hate for Bush, and many of them don't really seem to know why. They have become incapable at seeming anything good in him. While there are certainly people who do the same thing with Clinton, look at the number of Bush basing "questions/answers" verses the number of Clinton basing ones. There are a disproportionate number of questions/answers about Bush; and, I might add, very few of them give any reason at all, let alone facts to back up their reasons.

Answer 3

Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule--and both commonly succeed, and are right.
Henry Louis Mencken (1880-1956)
Government is a trust, and the officers of the government are trustees; and both the trust and the trustees are created for the benefit of the people.
Henry Clay 1777-1852
The government is merely a servant — merely a temporary servant; it cannot be its prerogative to determine what is right and what is wrong, and decide who is a patriot and who isn't. Its function is to obey orders, not originate them.
Mark Twain
Loyalty to the country always. Loyalty to the government when it deserves it.
Mark Twain
To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.
Theodore Roosevelt
Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.
George Orwell
It is not the function of the government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the government from falling into error.
U.S. Supreme Court Justice : Robert H. Parker
If a politician found he had cannibals among his constituents, he would promise them missionaries for dinner.
Henry Louis Mencken (1880-1956)
CAPITAL, n. The seat of misgovernment. That which provides the fire, the pot, the dinner, the table and the knife and fork for the anarchist; the part of the repast that himself supplies is the disgrace before meat.
Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)
A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government.
Edward Abbey
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
Edmund Burke 1729-1797

I think these are some good words to live by where politics is concerned!

Answer 4

why do some people have a problem with disagreements with Bush? Possibly blind patriotism as defined and encouraged by the Bushites, that is an assertion that any disagreement is some form of anti-patriotism, (you're either with us or with the terrorists, my country right or wrong. etc...) however reading the constitution, you'll find that questioning the government's actions is considered to be healthy, possibly mandatory. In short, it's only propaganda intended to frighten thoughtful citizens.. Then DO read the patriot act and find you have no rights as guaranteed in the constitution. note: when a question is phrased as this was, any answers could be construed to support the assertion that it IS wrong to disagree with Bush. there are independent media that cover the truth behind what our current "leaders" are doing. including Pacifica radio. listen to KPFK radio (kpfk.org) in North Hollywood from 6 am to 10am or 4pm through 7pm for interesting coverage. 90.7 FM LosAngeles on the 'net at http://www.kwire.org or view the film "Loose change" at http://www.loosechange911.com/

Answer 5

The problem with "Bush-bashing" is that so many people do that because their liberal parents, teachers, and friends do. They also like to base everything they do or say on what the liberal media reports- and, let's face it, the media is both one-sided and corrupt. Usually, when people "bash" the Clintons, they are saying things that come from facts- usually from the internet, which is one of the few places left that shows both sides of the story. (The exceptions are the idiots who laugh at Bill because of his affair with Monica- they are probably cracking jokes they heard on Jay Leno.) What it all comes down to in the end: Do not post an opinion without facts to back it up.

Answer 6

Most of America never voted for Bush..If they went by the populations vote and abolished the Electoral College the Republicans would never win, and they know it...New York's population alone would change an election and then there is Chicago, Detroit, Boston, Philadelphia, and all of California...So the results the Republicans state aren't really the facts of who is really popular is it. I don't agree with warmongering for a profit over the weak.

Answer 7

It's the same on both sides. Denial is running rampant in our country on all sides. We have to understand that it's not what party a president is. It's if you feel that the job they're doing is good. Do you like their policies or not.

I know you're talking about Republicans and how flip-sided they seem. So do Democrats at times too.

Do me a favour. For one day, try to look at things from a conservative/republican view. Not some half-assed try. Really try. Look at democrats like you do at republicans right now. Look up anti-democrat sites online.

You'll see that both sides are very similar in their distaste of eachother.

Answer 8

Long story short: It isn't wrong to disagree with Bush.

But a LOT of people in the Mass Media, who are owned by many of the SAME people who are filthy rich courtesy of Big Oil, and some of the SAME people who also have made G.W. Bush and Dick Cheney VERY rich, are paid and PAID WELL to bend over backwards, and to lie, cheat and steal to try to have you, me and everyone else believe otherwise.

Sorry for the visual shouting there, but that is about as strongly as I can make the point. :) As for Clinton, well, he is an ex-president so he's fair game much as Nixon was....and conservatives *hate* the guy for being both so popular and for being essentially able to *cheat on his battle-ax of a wife* and get away with it. In spite of their going over the edge and trying to finesse it into an impeachable offense.

So let's get this straight, a bit of prison sex on the job with someone not your wife gets you impeached, but flagrantly illegal phone taps don't? How about sabotaging our Emergency Response system to the point that we lose a whole city to a hurricane? How about trying to sell major ports to a nation that is a *known and major* security risk if not a potential *enemy combatant* in this "War on Terror"?

War on Terror. Nah, War OF Terror is more like it, as in Bush and that Rightwad clique are getting paid, and PAID WELL, to silence anyone who dares disagree, if not by openly slandering and libeling them in the news, then by bringing up obscure Woodrow Wilson-era Sedition Act Infringements on the First Amendment that have NOT been enforceable in decades....

But I digress. My bad, sorry. Point is, Bush's daddy is a rich man, and Dick Cheney's business partner when he was CEO of Halliburton was *Osama's* daddy....basically what you are seeing is nothing more, nothing less, than our companies, our corporations, *buying* the willful and deliberate destruction of America *to further their bottom lines* in a post-Peak-Oil era.

Yes, I said it. Our CEOs are responsible for ALL of this mess in our political process and in our Mass Media that they've willfully ruined so....they've stabbed you, me and all the human race in the back, repeatedly, and for what?

So they can take the damn money and RUN, take off to China where living like a Fu Manchu dictator is not only legal but openly welcomed.

Answer 9

I support Bush, and I disagreed when he gave up too quickly over Social Security. See, you can support someone and still disagree with them without name calling.

Answer 10

oh I love to make fun of bush and he is an easy target too, and if you look at dubya's approval rating you will see that you are not the only one who disagrees with the guy........and I would take clinton banging his interns over bush bombing places any day

Answer 11

It's American to disagree with Bush. Who the flip said it was WRONG?

BUSH = DOUCHEBAG
