Why can't Democrats stick to actual issues, instead of trying to disparage the Presidents ...?

Question

appearance or intelligence ? Don't they have any actual valid political issues or is it just hatred ?

Answer 1

Because they have no substance to their existance or ideals

Answer 2

I AM NOT A REPUB OR A DEM BUT YOU Republicans disgust me. They are liars and manipulators. Dividers. Fear mongers. Smiling when they talk about war and grinning when they tell their lies and distort their record. Trying to impose their hateful morals on the rest of the world, they're nothing but the Taliban reborn. Have you seen their platform? Have you listened to their speeches? These warmongers? These liars?

Let's get some things straight:

Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. Stop insinuating there is.

Where is Osama? Why are we in Iraq if ******* Osama Bin Laden is free? Since he is free, obviously Bush *didn't* do his job, did he?

The 9/11 commission makes it very clear that Bush's administration ignored signs of a pending attack. Stop pretending it was a surprise.

Abu Ghraib was a direct result of Bush's previous disregard for the Geneva Convention. Don't pretend it didn't happen or was an isolated incident. Bush is ultimately responsible for the torture.

There are no Weapons of Mass Destruction. Bush LIED. Don't try to call Kerry a liar to minimize his deceptions.

Kerry served in Vietnam. Bush was AWOL. These are facts.

"Swiftboat Veterans for Bush" was assisted by the Bush Campaign. More facts.

Bush lied to the entire country and Colin Powell lied to the entire world as to why we should invade Iraq, then we did so in spite of the U.N. and without a plan to win the peace. Bush's actions have caused unprecedented anger and resentment towards the U.S. and made us less safe, not more.

Iraq and Afganistan are not *free*. Stop ******* saying they are. LIARS. They are under U.S. military occupation.

The Bush White House organized and provided the "Mission Accomplished" sign, which they then denied. Liars.

What about the other issues besides terror?

Anti-choice. This party thinks a woman's right to choose should be against the law (obstensibly to save the life of an unborn child... but they don't mind killing thousands of innocent Iraqis, do they?). This is an adminstration that prevents American healthcare workers in Africa give out condoms to help stop the spread of AIDs. Republicans are sick and twisted.

Homophobes. Republicans are the party of discrimination and segregation.

Republicans cut taxes on the wealthy and then cut funding for children. Just released numbers show more Americans in poverty and more people without healthcare. Republicans think this is the way life should be. (They made sure that the poverty and healthcare numbers were released in August instead of the end of September when they would have a bigger impact on the campaign). *******.

George W. Bush turned his back on the Middle East peace process begun by Bill Clinton causing a massive increase in violence and tensions in the region.

Bush's administration named a CIA spy in retaliation to criticism by her husband. Someone should be in jail.

Haliburton no-bid contracts? Closed door energy meetings? Cheney should be in jail. Bush should be in jail for war crimes for that matter.

Bush is an incompetent, ignorant, dangerous moron. When asked a basic question in a press conference, Bush exclaimed that he couldn't think under pressure and wished that the question had been given in advance. Terrorists don't give questions in advance George, you're not fit to run this country.

Republicans just keep on lying and lying and lying until the stupid people think it's the truth just because it's so consistent. E.g. "Death Tax", "Compassionate Conservatism", "Flip Flop", "Liberal Media". The last one is the biggest lie. The media is *not* liberal but now everyone assumes it is, and the conservatives get their way always. They are manipulators extraordinaire. Have you read the platform? Revisionism and manipulation at it's best. Goebbels could't have written it better.

Answer 3

I remember back when Clinton was in office. People would say the same thing about all the conservatives crying about everything. It's really just about whoever is in office.

Actual Issues..............

Why finally pass a minimum wage increase after years of fighting it tooth and nail only when you can tie in a decrease in the inheritance tax?????????????


I don't hate the President. I just believe some of the people that he has around him are morons.....complete idiots. And that's a big problem with me because these people have his ear.....

By the way I can't wait for McCain to run so you Republicans can crucify him again. The only true Republican in the Senate and he hated by so many right-wingers it ain't even funny.

Answer 4

I'm simply going to hit the highlights for you as if you will hear or understand them----
If Republican ever shut up for five minutes in their defense of this dude--they might hear the issues involved
A lot of the reasonings behind the attacks on the man is because so very many of the issues at the play-point hinge on him and his radical elitest approach to geo political circumstance----
The war in Iraq---his personal choice and agenda
Tax breaks for the wealthest American's---his agenda
Roll backs of envoirnmental guidelines for industry---his agenda
Stacking the court system with hard line conservatives---his call
The roll back of open government ---his agenda
The exploding national debt---his agenda and buget-busting call
The alienation of almost all of our long standing world community allies and friends----his doing
and etc etc etc etc etc--------------so-----listen----the issues are there---with this man there is an endless supply of issues

And I think you read MAJOR CONCERN in a lot of what's being said as HATRED----big difference here
But--isn't it considerably ironic that when the Republicans have a man in the oval office that is a complete flake at the job they rise to his defense even when the quality of his leadership has absolutelly everything to do with the nature of our geo political stance within the world----but not so far back---they were willing to bring the country to it's knees because a man had a trist with an aide----something that didn't have one single ripple in the water as to the official conduct of the nation's business or our world stance

Answer 5

in the case of GW those are actual valid political issues. People forget that the foundation of America is not in keeping the status quo and protecting the office at all costs but in the spirit of question and challange of the status quo and respecting the needs and will of the people over and above the holder of any office, be it King or President. Mnay want an ammendment banning flag burning but flag burning is the very essence of America

Answer 6

Eight years ago it was "Why can't the Republicans stick to actual issues, instead of trying to disparage the president's extra curricular consensual fling or is it just hatred?"

Answer 7

Actual issues? Like the house's attempt to tie the minimum wage increase to cutting the estate tax on estates valued 3.5 Million and up?
This is just part and parcel of the Bush administrations drive to shift the tax burden to the lower incomes by relieving the ultra-high incomes of taxes and filling the budget shortfall with loans.
America's solvency is being ruined by Bush. And they continue to cut those high-income-only taxes by pretending no tax increases at the lower incomes are needed to replace the lost revenue - by concealing the gap with loans.

Answer 8

everytime we bring something up, you people fling some garbage like "that's unpatriotic" or you should'nt criticize", if you people would spend more time paying attention to what other Americans have to say, instead of just staying on a sensless path of failure, and us vice versa, we might actually be able to get some work done in this country. Unfortunately, your kind seems to not care what anyone else is saying, and what your actions will lead to, they just want to do what they want to do. Works good for when your a kid, but not when you are running a country.

Answer 9

Should'nt you run outside right now, find a six year old, and the two of you get one of those newfangled "thingies" called books? Then, the two of you could try out the latest thing sweeping the Republican voting bloc: "reading". Try it! you'll love it. There has been an overwhelming avalanche of issues discussed by Democrats, throughout all forms of media, throughout the decades.

Answer 10

Seems like someons has some political issues and hatred of her own to deal with.

Answer 11

I'm by no means a democrat, but I'll give you a few hints on why people dislike Bush.."signing statements", rendition, USAPATRIOT Act, indefinite detention of "enemy combatants", ignoring the Geneva Conventions, twisting intelligence and outright lying in order to justify a war, warrantless wiretapping, Diebold voting machines, Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib, blind support of Israel, use of DU, phosphorus, and napalm(war crimes, anyone?).. need I go on?
