All you Bush haters, what exactly do you want him to do?

Question

Cut and run in Iraq? Negotiate with the terrorists? Raise taxes? Give more money to education without requiring any results?

Intelligent answers only please! And please be specific.

So Terish, you'd like to see Dick Cheney assume the office of president? Why?

Corag, not very specific. What laws exactly do you believe he has broken? Eaves dropping on terrorists phone calls? There was a law passed allowing him to do that.

Corag,
President hasn't negoatiated with terrorists. He has rotated troops in Iraq. And you're still being vague about your claim that he broke the law. What I want our president to do is prevent terrorist attacks on American soil. Our president has done that.

Terish, you don't seem able to say what you'd like President Bush to do.

International, let the world live in peace? We tried that, then muslim pigs flew planes into your buildings.

Kermit, we've poured more and more money into the poor, bad schools for decades, and it hasn't done any good, those schools have just gotten worse. Why do you, and liberals like you, think pouring more money into them, without requiring any results, will be any different?

I'm starting to understand what Michael Savage means when he says "lberalism is a mental disorder".

Answer 1

Well, if Bush wants to lower taxes maybe he should start with the tax on gas! And don't tell me OPEC controls that! This is the whole point of keeping unrest in the middle east to keep gas high. Today when he said we have a strong economy I wanted to puke, you gotta have jobs first to not have to pay so much tax to begin with. He is kinda liberal with his neocon ways.

Answer 2

I don't hate Bush, I just think he's a terrible President.

What would I like him to do? For starters:

1. Present an actual plan for Iraq, any plan. All he does is say "Stay the course", and label any actual plan as "Cut and run".

2. Obey laws and the constitution. The FISA law is clear, and it's clear he's disobeyed it. No one is above the law. If he doesn't like the law, he should work to change it.

3. Act like an actual adult around world leaders. Don't sneak up and scare female world leaders like a stupid frat boy.

4. Show fiscal responsibility. Tax cuts plus no reductions in spending equals huge deficits.

5. Stop equating Iraq with 9/11 and the "War on Terror". Iraq was not involved with 9/11.

6. Show some interest in the fate of Afghanistan. That's actually part of the War On Terror,

7. Lose the misleading "War On Terror" rhetoric. Terrorism is a problem to be managed, not a country with a capital city you can march troops into. You can't wage a "war" on an abstract problem with no borders.

I could go on and on, but that'll do for starters.

Answer 3

Well dang...if Coragryph's answer is not specific enough...then I haven't got a chance.

Of course you aren't really looking for a serious, intelligent answer.

You know, you might be surprised to know that most Democrats aren't in favor of raising taxes. That being said, we sure don't think it makes any sense to reduce taxes already in place just to make people feel good and especially when you are pumping billions into the military and have a looming crisis of aging Baby Boomers.

You know if people would simply leave taxes alone, mabye we wouldn't have to raise them in the future. But now, we will have tax increases as a matter of national need whether we like it or not.

Cut and run in Iraq. That's your terminology. Mine would be, leave the Iraqis to kill one another without further American intervention. Let's save the lives of our precious service men and women rather than let them be killed in an effort that is unworthy of their sacrifice. I don't call that cutting and running. I call that knowing when a situation is untenable.

Education...the other great conservative talking point. The reality of education is that poor districts continue to get less funding because they continue to perform poorly on the tests required by "Leave no Child Behind". Apparently, the government (and you from the tone of your question) lay all the blame squarely on the teachers and the schools for under-achieving students. Let's face the reality, these kids are living in at risk environments where parents don't give a rip about their kids educations and for some of these kids survival trumps education. And of course compassionate conservatives from Reagan on have cut nearly all the social programs that would benefit these kids.

We are not created equal in terms of our God-given talents and the government has a responsibility to create an education system that teaches kids to read, write, and do basic math and prepare them for life after school. And we need to be realistic that not every child will or should attend college. We will not all be university educated Donald Trump apprentices. Nor should we be.

Sorry if my answer is not intelligent enough. I had the benefit of an outstanding public school education.

Answer 4

Bush should commit to actually solving problems rather than throwing money at his corporate friends to solve the problems for him. He should roll back his tax cuts for the wealthy and re-fund the programs he has virtually eliminated by starving them. In Iraq, he should go on a campaign to get other countries involved. Admit his past errors and ask for help in the situation. His administration made some key bonehead errors in the early days of the Iraq campaign and now we are paying for it with the lives of American soldiers, so he must admit this and get other countries to help out. He's already on the list to be in the bottom ten presidents of all time anyway, he might as well go out trying to fix everything he's done wrong.

Answer 5

I want him to stop committing mass murder, torture, and rape (or stop ordering those under his command to continue to do so). Pull the ground troops out, beg the UN to come in, and offer support to those who, unlike him, would gain and maintain peace.

I would have him re-implement taxes on the people who actually have all of the money rather than leaving the sole tax burden on those who have none.

I would have him dismantle the system whereby students spend all of their time learning how to pass machine-gradable tests (a skill one never needs after one leaves school) and fund a system whereby students LEARN.

I would have him reverse the "lets deprive senior citizens of meds and money, in order to enrich companies that take their money and provide only half of their drugs" law.

I would have him reverse his "Let's see how much sludge we can dump into the air before the child asthma rate reaches 100%" law.

I would have him replace the loon that represents us in the UN, who happens to hate everyone in the whole world and thinks we have the right to murder and steal, just because we're strong, with a human being.

No, even all of these and all others I can name cannot undo all of the damage this unspeakable disaster has cause to my country and the rest of the world.

Besides, he's too stupid, ignorant, arrogant, heartless, brutal, and utterly lacking in any human qualities whatsoever to make anything right.

The only thing I can wish for is that actual thinking feeling humans take office, and that he and the rest of the scum stand trial for crimes against humanity, and rot in prison for the rest of their vile lives.

Answer 6

By the way the law was passed that he could eaves drop on phone calls with secret court approval. Over 95% of phone taps he asked for were approved by the court. He decided to go beyond the law and force the NSA to do it without court approval. We also have no idea if they were terrorist, since he refuses to provide the information to the senate or congress. Its like asking a man to be the judge, and jury in his own trial.

Answer 7

For one "they called it cut and run in Vietnam" when the people pressured the Gov't to leave Vietnam.We left Vietnam because we had no way of winning.At the time we had Nixon as pres. he called leaving it "peace with honor." Bush and company has committed so many war crimes that he has pushed a bill immunizing the current administration for war crimes.Bush has broken the Geneva convention in the treatment of suspects,torture was and is their policy. HIs administration is guilty of altering the CIA findings on Iraq.He falsified evidence, information so he could manipulate the congress to allow a invasion of Iraq.Tens of thousands of civilians are dead buried in mass graves due to an illegal war that turned iraq from a tolerant country of sects to a horrific civil war including American trained death squads.next,Bush has used illegal signing statements to note what portion of ratifed bills he will enforce.That is illegal.This is an imperial presidency with no checks or balances.He has more good sounding unfounded mandates than any other president.We are borrowing billions of dollars from China to fund the Iraq mess.We are in dangerous debt,which you wil have to pay for in the future.More?He has not funded no child left behind.In the international theatre it is clear that we want a friendly gov't so that we remain in control of Iraq's vast oil supplies.In america we have the bill of rights,freedom of speech, these are not guaranteed we have to fight for them.The leaders of anti-Iraq occupation groups have been harrassed and they are using extraordinary measures to destroy dissent,that is the right to your opinions whether they agree with this administration or not.They have closed web sites and silenced journalistsThe foundations of our country are coming apart because this gov't instilled fear in the citizens so they can't see what the gov't is up to . These are more like the times of Sen. Joe McCarthy who used fear to subvert a free America.

Answer 8

Approve stem cell research. Push for an increase in the minimum wage. Disassociate himself from men like Karl Rove. His profession of Christianity is very suspect when he surrounds himself by the likes of Rove.

Oh, and he should develop some humility too and try to listen to other viewpoints other than his own rather then continuing down this dangerous path of believing his way is the only way.

Answer 9

iraq will have to run its course.

he needs to focus on the american economy and education system.

realize that the effects of global warming are real and see the yearly pattern of destructive weather getting worse(each year) and begin major planning for dealing with its effects here in u.s. as well as being a world leader and devise how to react quickly in other countries to help repair the u.s. image(he's destroyed)

drop aide to israel. if americans really knew how many billions are sent on that savage zionist farm and how many christian deaths they are responsible for they would flip.

stop doing dumb things to further obliterate the image he has left that he may start building up some type of credibility on his way out in 2008

Answer 10

I want the budget surplus money to go to paying down the national debt.

Iraq - we shouldn't be there, it's not our country. We should have liberated Kuwait, rescued the American hostages, roughed a few people up on the way out, and reinforced the Kuwaiti border - and that's it.

I would like Bush to resign immediately. I would have like Perot to run the country...until he started his whole "can I finish?" thing - he at least has a plan.
