Even if every Republican legislator broke rank with Bush on Iraq do you think it would matter to Bush?

Question

I personally don't think it would matter one bit!

Is there no way to stop this guy?

Answer 1

The majority voted to go to war. Regime change in Iraq was the policy of both Clinton and Bush.

Why on earth would people vote to conduct armed conflict, and then vote to no longer do that, because it got hard?

War ain't a video game.

Answer 2

No, not at all. He is at his last stage of the last term and whole adminstration been consumed by the war in Iraq.

Whatever happen make no different to him or to his administration.

The hill is pre-occupited by the Presidental race and the election next year, they won't have the time nor the attention to deal with Bush. Beside the Republicans don't want to anywhere near him and the Democrasts would like to have him around as a whipping boy.

My advice: use your ballot ticket the way our forefathers designed and hold those responsible's collective feets in the fire.

Answer 3

I'm not sure it would. I'm not entirely convinced that the entire Iraq invasion wasn't some kind of attempt to make his father especially proud of him and finish what his father started.

Why he couldn't have suffered through a few classes he hated in college, gone to law school or whatever like a normal person is beyond me? I took a really awful sociology course and no one but me suffered. I then of course discovered that it didn't actually work.

Plus, I think Bush would really rather be King. Compromise and working well with others are not his strong points.

Answer 4

First of all, no, I doubt it would matter. But your question demands qualifications to answer (like most around here). Which Republicans do you suppose are against the war? I doubt all Democrats are against the war.

I don't see any nation doing a better job currently, of fighting terrorism. So, why do we rush to judgment of Bush?

Why do we seek to stop someone on the criteria you have given in this question? Congress' job belongs to Congress and the President's job belongs to the President.

And a violation of our separation of powers is a legitmite reason to stop someone, but so far, this appears to be occurring primarily with the Liberals in Congress.

Answer 5

When you lead based on your convictions and what you view as right, you stay the course. No, if the Republicans in congress had their backbones removed, to match the Dems, it would not deter Bush from having the courage to do what he feels is right. You see, life is more than a popularity contest, and some of us recognize this fact.
I'm embarrassed by the total lack of intelligence in most of the answers here. Most resort simply to name calling and lack any substance. It just goes to see how poorly informed most people have become. What a shame.

Answer 6

Nothing matters to the Shrub except staying "in good" with the corporate powers that pull his strings! Unfortunately, the "powers that be" control almost all of our politicians--left, right, Rep. and Dem. They "allow" a little wiggle room every four or eight years, so that we believe that we have freedom of choice, and different mind-sets "running" the country. But, don't for one minute think that if it ever hit them in the pocketbook (or the "power" book) that they would not squash the people of this country like bugs.

Impeach Bush!! (But beware of what comes after....)

Answer 7

Any idiot can lead on the basis of popularity...George Bush wants to lead on the basis of what's right. Unlike congress, he's not trying to get re-elected, so he doesn't have to worry about trying to please everyone.
Say what you want about Bush, but you certainly cannot say that he governs according to popularity.

Also, when has giving up a fight that we promised we would finish ever been a good thing? We promised the Iraqi people that we would help them get on their feet, no matter how long it takes...now you want us to forget about that promise?

You and many other Americans might lack the will to fight...but never let it be said that the American soldier does.

Answer 8

No it will not matter to him. The only way to stop him is to cut funding or to impeach him. But unfortunately the Republicans and Democrats in Congress are wusses.

Answer 9

No, thank God! At this point do you really think that Bush is playing politics?

Answer 10

No it would not. If you have grounds for impeachment contact your senator. But the Democrats know that they do not want to make fools of themselves with the sort of bogus charges they have. What are they going to charge him with, doing his best to defend the Country? Do you consider that a crime?
