Cons, do you really believe that Bush is right in everything he does?

Question

Look at the world as it is today. I mean... look at what you consider "the world", meaning the U.S. Are we really all that well? Do we today have less terrorist hating us than we had five years ago? Do we have less debt? Do we have better health care? Do we have better schools than at the beginning of his reign?

Well knowing that you will come up with a flurry of excuses in order to protect your idol, i would like you to be truthful at least once and show us that you are thinking human beings.

Answer 1

Well, i would be hard pressed to find anything he has done right.

Wait.... i got something. Until now he hasn't soiled the carpets in the White House, or is there something we do not know about.

Answer 2

Yes I do believe. He has made some tough decisions and has had to stand up against opposition and a very liberal press. He has done well. The terrorist hate us because we are shutting down their operations and neutralizing them. Do you think it was better when Americans were getting attacked all over the world for the last 30 years? A war is expensive BUT the debt is reducing at a substantial number due to the revenue generated by the tax cuts. The health care we have today is just as good as it was in any other Administration. Personally I don't want to see it degraded by going to a socialist program and I sure as hell don't want to pay for it. The no child left behind program is for the children. The push back is from the worthless Unions and the even more worthless teachers who want to keep dumbing the kids down and pushing them through. These are no excuses, these are facts. I am a living breathing thinking human being, and I realized I did a lot of typing for nothing, as I am obviously talking to a intellectually inferior being.

Answer 3

No, I don't believe that he's right in EVERYTHING he does.
Do we have more terrorists hating us? No, not really. It's just that we declared war on them (finally, after over 25 years of them attacking us), and they're angry.
No, we don't have less debt, but the deficit IS shrinking.
Health care? Blame Congress for that one. They can't stop their bickering long enough to agree on ANYTHING, especially something that will benefit all Americans.
No, the schools have continued to slide. What we need is a full revitilization. We need to reconsider our curriculum. Until Congress decides to do that, our children will continue to NOT learn.
Also, it would take some time to repeal some of the laws that are making our school systems fail. The problem is not funding. It's the fact that no matter how horrible a teacher is, if they have tenure, they cannot be fired.
It's the fact that not only are our students not learning basic skills like rudimentary math, English, social studies, science, and history, but they're also NOT learning how to make it in the outside world.
This is not the fault of this president, or the last one. It's the fault of Congress, the Senate, and US for electing them. One in several is actually working for US. The rest are working for themselves.
We need to allow education to revert to the States, and then to each district. Give funding only to the schools that truly need it. But our entire education system needs revamped.
We don't need smaller classrooms. We need better teachers. We need more parental accountability. When both parents are having to work full-time to make ends meet, or children are being raised in a single-parent household, their needs are not being met.
Can Congress MAKE the teachers do their job? Can Congress MAKE parents do THEIR job? No, not with our laws what they are currently.
Altogether, are we more safe? Maybe not, but other than the anthrax scare, there haven't been any more SUCCESSFUL terrorist attacks on our soil.
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan may not be going as well as it had been hoped, but how was the president supposed to know? Since when does the president have foresight?
Not only that, but Iraq is NOT a total failure. The soldiers from our post who are currently in Iraq pass the good news on to us. And there IS a lot of good, there really is.
Is there a lot of bad? Of course. That's war. War is hell.
The way I see President Bush is this:
He's not FDR, or Truman, or Lincoln. But he's better than other presidents have been, and he's probably better than Kerry or Gore would have been.
But most of all, he's HUMAN. His power is limited by checks and balances. That's the way our government is set up. And THAT'S the way it should stay.

Answer 4

I think that George Bush is an egotistical, lying, self serving, sorry excuse of a human being. The man can't even think for himself. He is a puppet of the republican party who achieved his status through his rich daddy. Since he has taken office he has indebted the country by trillions of dollars (remember, before he came to office we had a surplus of funds), lied about Iraq having WMD's to get the support to attack them (Maybe he was avanging Daddy) and has taken funds from almost all of our federal programs that help the poorest people of this country. He has also given the largest tax breaks ever recorded to wealthiest 2% of Americans. ( Isn't he, his family and oil "buddies" in that 2%?) The only thing that I think that he did right was go after the terrorist that bombed our country on 9/11. If he would have concentrated his efforts there instead of going after Iraq we would be a lot farther ahead of the terrorist groups then we are now. If the idiot wasn't such an arrogant S.O.B. we also wouldn't have lost the trust and friendship of our former allies. The best thing that can happen in America is for Bush to step down, admit his wrong doing and let someone who knows what they are doing lead our country. Of course we all know that there is a better chance of **** freezing over than that jerk relinquishing his so called "power" regaurdless of its effects upon the rest of the world. Thank God the moron can't run for office again!

Answer 5

Are you kidding? He's done all sorts of things wrong. He's really not all that conservative of a guy, at least not fiscally. There would have been many more things vetoed if he was.
However, he's made some tough choices that his predecessor chose to ignore. He may have not made all the right choices concerning global terrorism, but at least he has made choices and not swept the problem under the carpet. I don't really agree with some of the things he's done, but at least I know he's trying. If we were to give up now, what would that accomplish?

As far as health care is concerned though, look at all the technology and research that is being done now to improve treatment. Even 20 years ago people would have died at a much higher percent from many of the same conditions that people are living with as a discomfort, rather than almost certain death. While I do think that pharmacutical companies are making far too much profit, they are bringing out some amazing medicines. I'm not sure what the solution is to the cost issue.

Answer 6

No--Bush is a man trying to do a very hard job. Of course he has made mistakes and will probably make more. I do know he loves his country and wants to do what is best. I do think his biggest mistake was not changing strategies in Iraq sooner. However, I do understand he is a human and (like me), when backed into a corner (by libs demanding he change) he got stubborn and dug his heels in (bad move, but a human one).

So my answer to you is no we don't think everything he does is right. And now my question is--do you still believe Clinton did no wrong?

Answer 7

1.) Cons do not Blindly support Bush.
2,) No, I dont think Bush is right in many things that he does, BUT he is my president and the leader of the free world, so therefore I morally support him.
3.) Terrorists - At least we aren't sitting on our *** doing nothing about it. We are trying, even though Bush may have a couple bad plans.
4.) Debt - You are correct there. Bush spends like a drunken sailor, but Dems aren't doing much better.
5.) After passing Talent's Bill, yes health care will be better.
6.) Schools are better after NCLB, it allows kids in failure schools to relocate to good schools. AND Schools are recieving Record levels of funding (Check Department of Education site)

Answer 8

original question, no, i can disagree with some things, unlike a lib, who MUST disagree with everything.

Are we well? Yes, economy is great. all time highs on the stock market should be an indication of that.

Less terrorists? no, but less (zero) attacks in the US since he took action.

Less debt? not yet. he put funding into the liberal loved social programs that clinton took money out of.

better health care? Yes, just pay for it yourself, and stop trying to get free things. What else do you want, free clothing, food, lawn care?

Better schools? probably, he has given more money to education than any other president.


I don't need excuses, I have facts.

Stop parroting your liberal hero's who only wants our gov't to fail so they can say, "see Vote for a democrat"

Answer 9

He's a crook who has emptied our country's treasury and handed it over to his pals in the private industry who have only f**ked up everything they have touched from Iraq to the Gulf Coast.
If the stock market is such a great indicator of wealth and economic status, why do so many average Americans struggle to make ends meet? How about a truly representative hourly wage? How many people here have significant interests in the stock market anyway?
Bush has gutted social programs not helped them. He has diverted millions in tax dollars to 'faith-based' programs which 'help' people like Pat Robertson who definitely needs help but not monetary.
And our educational system is totally in the shitter.

This president doesn't give a **** about average US citizens.

And what's this stupid idea that you can't 'criticize a president in wartime?' You are a sheep if you believe that happy crappy.

Answer 10

There will never be a year / day / month, etc. that will go by without someone in this world spewing hateful words to those in America. It goes without saying that there are just as many enemies as there are friends.

As for Bush, if it weren't for cheating with the votes, he wouldn't be in power anyway. I'm left wondering how things would be different if the "right" person would be in power today, not a cheater and not someone affliated with and business dealers with these terrorists he is now out to slay.

Debt, health care, education system have all gone downhill, and will continue to do so until someone is put in power with a little spine and really does care what happens to the country, and to it's growing child population.

Answer 11

No of course not. If we did his poll numbers would be better.
The diff is Con will call out there leaders a whole lot faster then Libs do
