I asked what have the Bush adminstration and the all-Republican congress done for you and I got this answer.?

Question

And I gave it ten points.
"Lowered taxes.... no terrorist attacks, economy booming (because of lowered taxes), unemployment at it's lowest *ever* (again, because of lowered taxes), fighting the Islamic Jihadist (who wish to take away my right to exist)...."

Now if this is why people voted Republican in the mid-term election and you didn't, why didn't you?

Answer 1

Lowered taxes? My tax "break" was $300. My share of the deficit Bush created is well over $10,000. Also, taxes are simply the price we pay for government services, so looking only at how much you pay in taxes is an idiot's game. You also have to look at what youre getting for your tax dollars. Bush made us all poorer in a sense by reducing what we get from the govenment in the form of air safety (FAA budget) Highway safety, educational funding, arts funding, and the hundreds and hundreds of other things for which Bush cut federal funding.

No terrorists attacks? In case you havent heard, there was a terrorist attack about 8 months after Bush took office. I believe its know as 911. Google for it if you are unfamiliar with it.

economy booming? Please! Scroll down to the charts on this page: http://members.aol.com/freedog1000

Low unemployment? I dont know if thats a statistical fact, but when you look at the quality of the jobs out there, they are not there. New jobs at McDonalds just dont cut it.

Fighting islamic Jihadists? If Bush caught Osama, I must have missed the news that day.

Bush started a war based on lies about nuclear weapons that has killed over 600,000 men, women, and children. After cutting the funding to rebuild the levies of New Orleans, and ignoring the global warming that fuels hurricanes, he appointed an unqlalified boob to head FEMA. Thousands died in the streets of New Olreans as a result. And just look at the Bush record on the enviroment:

Answer 2

Ummm...... this is why I am not a republican because that only happened for the rich people I mean the lower taxes if that even really happened.... No terrorist attacks maybe they should look back I do believe that Sep 11 was a terrorist attack and who was president? Bush

But hey right on ! Everybody interprets and takes things different right just like the bible that's why there are so many different religion's because we all take it different

Answer 3

Because liberals do not want to believe the facts. They don't believe the unemployment figures because they would have to give Bush the credit. Lowering taxes generated allot of revenue to the government and they don't want to believe that. The government has taken in more money than they ever have and that is fact. They don't want to believe that because they would have to give Bush the credit. Now the attacks on 9-11 took years of planning but they give Bush the credit even though he was only in office a few months. That is a fact. So here is how it works. If something good happens then is it is denied and if anything bad happens it is Bush's fault. All you need is an IQ to see it. Its called playing politics and the democrats are very good at it. Its also called denial.

Answer 4

I didn't vote in 2004 or this year and I won't vote in 2008.

Because all judicial activism is completely disgusting to me. The Republicans have demonstrated that they, too, will cynically abuse the power of judicial review just so they can ensure that they won an election. So I can't vote for them. But the Democrats are still wedded to Roe v. Wade and other SC decisions like Lawrence v. Texas. So I can't vote for them. Third parties are extremely unlikely to talk about judicial activism, and even if they did talk about it, they won't win.

So I didn't and won't vote.

Answer 5

Republicans have had many scandals, and the handling on the war in Iraq isn't exactly the greatest. The Republicans have weak leaders that are destroying the U.S. image across the globe. People are ready for a change for the better, which is why the House AND the Senate are now controlled by Democrats.

Answer 6

nicely his dad stole $eighty billion in weapons and offered them to our enemy Iran to fund an unlawful conflict in needed united statesa. to not point out that he became into the supervising conspirator in the JFK assassination...and his stupid a** continues to be strolling around. So i'm guessing daddies little boy has been busy yet like daddy will on no account see the reformatory cellular he merits. till by making use of a few miracle the yankee human beings awaken from their media prompted coma...fat possibility they're all fascinated in Sanjiya on American Idiocy.

Answer 7

This is why the republicans didn't get my vote in general. Unethical, immoral, and unconstitutional conduct while in office.

You are stating half-truths, inaccuracies and once again telling us we are safer because of your heroic actions.

Would you like to discuss the negative impact Mr. Bush and his Congress has had on our country, or do you see none?

Answer 8

lowered taxes at what expenses ....... the NATIONAL DEBT ?there's one big terrorist attacks on 911 eight months after that moron took office ....... isn't that enough ......... fighting the Islamic jihadist ....... WHERE? there's no jihadist in Iraq before the invasion .............. the real perpetrators are alive and well in Afghanistan and they are rising in strength ......... what is it you said the fool has done? can you repeat it again with a straight face?


these are the reasons AMERICANS RETURNED TO THEIR SENSES and voted them OUT!

Answer 9

When you submit a statement with a question mark they can delete your question. They did mine. I did vote Republican.

Answer 10

I did for those very reasons!
