JFK was last good DEM Prez. I know you don't like to hear this ...... but he cut taxes. He was also the last DEM Prez to be tough on the Soviets.
Since then the DEM Party is known for Raising Taxes, gutting the military and intelligence services and embracing Hollywood Values over Middle America's.
The problem with Liberals is that they underestimate what can be accomplished by courage and resolve because these are not qualities they possess. Liberalism is a can't cant. Every task is too difficult. Every danger is too great. This is why liberals don't oppose dictators until after they've been deposed by the likes of Reagan and Bush. While tyrants are still in power, liberal lips stay firmly glued to their backsides. They are the Party of doing nothing!
The Party I support ended the Soviet Union, Ended Saddam and Ended the Taliban. In short, is spread Democracy where there was none before.Slightly more substantial than "Hey Dude, Remember when Clinton Raised taxes that time"!

Bombed Bosnia then did nothing to fix the country very un-American
let the Taliban attack the Cole and did nothing

um no...... obviously you no nothing about liberals....... and you unfortunately associate liberalism with the Democratic party and conservatism with the Republican party wholly. Politics is a little more gray than people give it credit for being. And unfortunately for you.... most of the people in the party you support are smart enough to not say liberalism is a can't can't ...... which if read correctly not in the way you wish it to be read is that liberalism is a can.......... and I'm happy to pay taxes as long as i get something out of it...... better/cheaper health care, quality PUBLIC education (which honestly NONE of the top people in either party understand public educations, as they are almost entirely graduates from the top tiers of college educations), cleaner air and water, and better border security.......

Ironically, The term "Neocon" was first used as an insult, when "Michael Harrington", a Marxist turned Socialist, and head of the "American Socialist Party" used it to describe JFK. He felt JFK and his followers were not "Liberal Enough".
JFK believed in Lowering Taxes, a Strong and Aggressive Military, and using the Military to protect Americas interests abroad. JFK also hated Unions as he and Bobby, as Attorney General, fought their coruption. I still think the Unions had them both killed.
In todays world, JFK would be called a "Neocon"...

The only Presidents I know who really cared for the people were: John F. Kennedy, and President Carter, in the way that they were sincere in what they wanted to accomplished, maybe they might have had their bad sides, but, who doesn't. But as everybody knows whatever the President suggests, it is up to Congress, if they will have a go on what they want to do.

The democratic party has shifted farther and farther left because of the funding its getting from these far left extremist. A republican today is probably what a democrat was in the 60's. No democrat would stand up for cutting taxes or being tough on our enemies today.

YEAH OK,
I guess if a republican president has an approval rating of 26% (lowest since republican president Nixon)
his Respectable.
If not, maybe he is respectable because we've lost 3,500 troops in a war that has nothing to do with Osama Bin Laden.
Or
Maybe it's because we are 8.8 trillion dollars in debt.
GET REAL BUSH BLOWS.

I think Clinton, besides the Monica Lewinsky scandal, was a good president. There was job growth, low crime rates and we had good relations with our allies. Second, other countries can do what they want...as long as they are not hurting us, we are not really supposed to be going around interfering with other countries governments just because we do not agree with the way that they rule. We have no right to make the world a Democracy....what we are doing is wrong...and who says everyone wants democracy?

The GOP would rather bow to corporations than to the working middle class. They'll continue to lose with that attitude.
