Is every Democrat that is running against a Republican incumbent running solely on the anti-Bush platform?

Question

I live in Arizona and every debate I see on TV has the Republican incumbent talking about some issues and the Democratic candidate talking about Bush and McCane..

Ooops, i meant McCain.

Answer 1

Democrats can not tell you what they really believe, or what they're really going to do if and when they do take over the House and/or Senate...

There are no Democrats out there today who are saying why people should vote FOR them, the only thing that they ever say is why we need to vote AGAINST whoever the Republican incumbent is...and most times, they don't even do THAT...all they say is that Americans hate Bush, and we need to take over.

Have you heard ANY Democrat say what THEY would do about Iraq? No, other than immediate surrender, which should not be an option.

But yes, that's all the Democrats have... we hate Bush, we know all you people out there hate Bush, so vote for us, you idiots!

I think the Democrats and the mainstream media will be shocked when they see how poorly the Democrats actually do on Election Day. Not having an agenda really doesn't work. And the economy is roaring right along.

Answer 2

The anti-Bush platform is an easy way to compress several issues into one short message. People angry about the economy, the war in Iraq, gas prices, and supposed Republican corruption are all angry to one extent or another at the President. By using the anti-Bush message, Democrats encompass each of these issues that they feel they can win with. It's cheaper, and to a certain extent a little lazy, but the public does appreciate a simple mesage.

Answer 3

It certainly seems that way. They have no solutions except to expand the borders, tax us more, deprive us of our liberties by removing God, the flag, the pledge in every place possible and spreading their liberal, pacifist agenda. and...they are afraid to talk to the American people about that. They want to wait and spring it on us.

They'll bring the troops home, abandon homeland security, release the terrorists or tie up our courts and tax us to give them hearings where the Dems can listen to themselves talk and never really ask a question or get an answer.

In the meantime we will have more attacks and they will blame Pres. Bush and the Republicans and oh yes, they will talk, negotiate with countries that have no intention of living up to agreements.

Same old, same old.

Answer 4

Obama caved in, accepting a deal that makes an dazzling $39 billion in cuts in cutting-edge spending. Congressional negotiators have been nevertheless determining the in basic terms top info of those cuts on Monday, with the two the homestead and Senate scheduled to vote on them formerly a clean time decrease of Thursday, April 14. yet a White homestead spokesman, Dan Pfeiffer, provided a great define of the cuts in a fact published on the White homestead information superhighway internet site. the biggest cuts, $12.5 billion in all, will come from classes on the departments of hard artwork, coaching and wellbeing and Human centers, lots of that have been already centred for termination in Obama’s funds for the 2012 financial year. there will be a $a million billion throughout the time of-the-board decrease in nonmilitary companies, and $8 billion in cuts from foreign places help and the State branch. The stability of the cuts, approximately $18 billion, will come no longer from discretionary social spending, as initially proposed with the help of the Republican-controlled homestead, yet from one-time cuts in mandatory classes or from debts with unspent money. Nope, it is the Republicans who decide for to kill it. Reagan tried formerly it grew to become regulation. Swell adult males.

Answer 5

Look at the approval ratings again. America is ready for a change. So to answer the subject of your question, I would have to say "I hope so." We need something different than what we have now. I don't want more of the same. If we had a policy in effect that allowed our bosses to beat us over the head every day and somebody (a democrat) claimed they would make it law that my boss couldn't beat me anymore, they would definitely have my vote...The person (republican) telling me that they will make the boss only beat me on Tuesdays isn't giving me enough hope for change.

Answer 6

Most of them, I know of one Dem...Ben Nelson..who is the incumbent in the NE senate race...he is actually offering solutions...but one of how many...most of the time the Anti-Rep, Anti-Bush is the major thing I hear....It sounds good, but come election day, I don't think it will have the affect people think it will....people want to hear solutions to a problem, not just how much you hate the current.

Answer 7

That's because the Democrankies don't have a platform. They haven't had an idea in years, they have no solutions to the problems that we face other than to raise taxes and throw money at everything. Ask any of them a question about any topic and the only response you get is "Bush Lied". I expect to hear an AWK at the end of it like some sick demented parrot.

Answer 8

As far as I'm concerned, every Republican that supports Bush and his illegal, immoral war should be voted out, but as I've always said, never underestimate the ignorance of the American voter.

Answer 9

By the way, its "McCain". sorry. and if Dems cant come up with a better platform than "Bush sucks big time" then they will lose in '08. which is exactly what were counting on!!

Answer 10

Well, it can carry you pretty far. Here, the only tv ads I see are ads attacking Democrats for being "too liberal" (while lying, I might add - they always take votes out of context - but both parties do it - I wish that was made illegal).

Dems are so far ahead in most of the races, you rarely see ads for them on tv (and this is freakin' Indiana).
