Republicans: why is bush a "good" president?

Question

Let's face it: even though Saddam Heussain was evil, he still ran Iraq. We shouldn't bring our form of government into Iraq because they are working just fine and don't want our form of government.

The only reasons I can find why Bush is in office are:
Gore is not good at campaigns.
Nader ran. If he decided to with Gore in his campaign the people who would have voted for him would have voted for Gore, thus making him win.
Bush got his brother to rig the polls. This may just be like the monica lewinsky scam but I believe it is true.

All Bush has done is strand about 50,000 soldiers in Iraq, not prevent 9/11, and spend way too much money.

If gore was in office, he probably could have prevented 9/11. and it would have been another day, just like in the New Year's eve scandal of 2000 (something was soppoused to blow in certain cities at 12:00 in each time zone, starting with NY.) Or if they let Clinton go after Osama, Osama would be dead by now.

Oh yea, he also collasped the Iraqi government.

Ok yes Saddam killed a lot of people!
But Bush also killed a lot of troops!
It's even.

RECORDS AND REFERENCES:
I have at least one conviction for drunk driving in Maine (Texas driving record has been erased and is not available).

I was AWOL from the National Guard and deserted the military during a time of war. I refuse to take a drug test or even answer any questions about drug use.

All records of my tenure as governor of Texas have been spirited away to my father1s library, sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view.

All records of any SEC investigations into my insider trading or bankrupt companies are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view.

All minutes of meetings of any public corporation for which I served on the board are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view.

Any records or minutes from meetings I (or my VP) attended regarding public energy policy are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public review.

Bush also went AWOL...and had his hand in the demolition of the WTC.

Bush referred to the US Constitution as a God damn piece of paper.

He was wrong about WMD. That got the US into a war with Iraq. The UN said there were no weapons and we still went to war anyway. At least Colin Powell did the right thing and resigned. Too bad Bush doesn't have Powell's intregrity

His initial response to hurricane katrina was horrible.

The "no one left behind" idea is terrible: dumb down education so children look smarter without learning what they should.

The patriot act violates the bill of rights. How can we talk about the freedom of democracy here in the US when the government keeps taking away those freedoms?

His tax cuts did not go to those at the bottom of the income bracket.

He raised interest rates for those taking loans to go to college.

Abstinence taught for sex education does not work. Safe sex should also be taught in school as well.

He talked about border protection and sealing off America from Mexico, then gives the Saudis (i think it was them) control over offshipping cargo on our coast. I thought we were supposed to be protecting our borders, not selling that right off to the highest bidder!

His environmental policy is not helping reduce global warming. His solution is clean-burning coal! That will never happen!

Answer 2

You need to pick up a history book about the 80's and 90's and then try to make the arguement that it wasn't necessary for us to go into Iraq.
But I'll go you one better. The left is always crying about how it is that since we're the only super power left we shouldn't be acting like thugs. As the only super power doesn't the US have a moral obligation to stop immoral outrages where ever they might exsist in the world if it is within our power to do so? If not then why are the bleeding heart liberials making such a fuss about Africa? Is it because the liberial litmis test is whether a nation has oil or not? Oh! Yea, thats right, thats what the liberials accuse the conseratives of isn't it, being interrested in nothing but oil. Another thing that strikes me as odd is the fact that almost every liberial I've heard speak about being against the war they complain about the money it is costing. I always thought thats what they were always laying at the Republicans feet, being money grubing sob's.
Why is Bush a good President? He didn't send troops into harms way and then abandon them at the first oportunity. He see's the Islamic Terrorist for what they are and he's made it very clear he intends to fight them with every means at his disposal until the day he leaves office. He's been far more honest about how his administration operates than anyother I can recall in recent history. And guess what, when he makes a mistake he doesn't give excuses, he fixes it if he's able. Truthfully I've not been compleatly happy with the man and wouldn't have voted for him if there had been a decent alturnative. But considering all the **** he has had to put up with from the 'Left and Right' I think he's done a damn good job. And one last thing, I'm sick and tired of hearing how Jeb rigged the election down here it Florida. You don't know **** from shine-o-la @ss wipe. I was here and it wasn't the Republicans who tried to steal the election down here it was the Democrates. You want to jump on someone about stealing an election go talk to the people in Oregon where half the damn ballots cast were not signed or were signed by someone other than the registared voter. All Democrat's I might add. Now you've got me pissed just thinking about it again.

Answer 3

i can't figure out why he would be considered good. i personally don't think we should leave iraq now but the reason why we went in the first place is still bad. i remember how bush was going to fix social security but i guess it was to big of a problem for him. I do not like the man but i do think we need to be strong on foreign policy right now so i'll give him that (even though it has not gone so well) on the domestic side i can't give him anything, he's done nothing at all but make things worse. how can you bankroll such a military campaign and not raise taxes or cut programms to fund it? the answer is you can't so the next administration will have to raise taxes and cut stuff. this to me means that bush does not care about the future of this country, only the present.

Answer 4

The only reason Bush was appointed president by the US supreme court was because his brother rigged the Florida election results.

It was done again in his second run but they were better at it and it wasn't publicized.

Bush has perpetrated so much evil that the Arab countries will hate us for centuries and resort to terrorism for revenge. The whole world knows that Iraq was much better off under Saddam that under Bush. They had education, health care, running water, electricity, homes etc. None of which they have now. Read some news from outside of the US because our media won't be truthful about it.

They can't even visit the graves of their loved ones without fear of being killed. No wonder they have suicide bombers. I pray that our soldiers will come home soon and alive. Our news media will not even show us the caskets of our soldiers Bush is responsible for killing.

Answer 5

Bush did wat he thought was right for the US governement. and heads up, Iraq was not fine by the way it was run. Saddam was a HORRIBLE ruler who killed so many people in his country. He was pure evil and the people there were suffering. Also, many countries thought that he had WMD and knew that a person like him wasn't to be trusted with WMDs. We had to go in there to save our country from maybe being terrorized again. We are doing good in Iraq. Now they can have a democratic government and won't be in the mess they were in with Suddam.

Answer 6

What are you smokin' there? Saddam controlled his country based on terror tactics. Much like Hitler ran Germany. So that is your resolve? As long as someone is in control, so be it?

Clinton had the chance to get Osama. And he let him go. Because Hillary had his nuts in a bag. You are so misinformed.

FYI - Do not get your info from Yahoo!Answers. Bone up on the facts.

Answer 7

if clinton or gore was in power when 9-11 happened we would still be being bombed,,, they had no balls,,

Leans back in chair. Crosses arms and ankles. Watches the fireworks explode.
