Why do democrats always lie about Bush?

Question

Democrats always make things up about Bush and expect us rational people to believe them. For example one lieberal wronte that bush cannot admit he made mistakes. This is a completely untrue statement. I can, off the top of my head, think of two times Bush admitted he was wrong.

He admitted he was wrong when he listened to our generals talk about Iraq. They said they had all the troops they needed and Bush believed them, then like a big man admitted he was wrong.

He admitted he was wrong when He listened to the liberal governor of Louisiana and didn't send federal aid.

See Bush admits his errors all the time so back off liberals,

Answer 1

Bush did not admit he was wrong with regard to the generals. Bush blamed the generals for providing him with wrong information. That's not the same thing.

And Bush also blamed the Governor of Louisiana in that speech, so he wasn't taking the blame himself.

You may be right. Bush might have accepted fault for making incorrect decisions at some point. But those are bad examples, since those instance primarily show Bush blaming other people when things go wrong.

If you want to prove your point, find an example where Bush didn't blame someone else for the problem.

Answer 2

It was Rumsfeld, Bush's dude who said we didn't need that many troops. General Shinseki was on record saying that we would need upwards of 150,000, and he was relieved of his duty after making that statement. If Bush was the "big man" you claim he is, he would have let Rumsfeld go as soon as he knew that Rummy had made a mistake, not waited for a convenient time after the 06 midterm elections, while the war was 3 and a half years old.
As for your other mistake that you claim Bush "admitted", I really don't remember him saying anything like that , and if he did, it would be nothing more than what Harry Truman called "passing the buck". You seriously think these two incidents qualify your final statement that Bush "admits his errors all the time"? Likely story.

Answer 3

The President should not apologize to anyone for anything.

The too few troops argument can be made now looking back at it, but at the time it was made, the argument was too big of army will lead us to be an "occupying force" much like the Soviets in Afghanistan. War is always filled with mistakes, and this happens to be one. It has been corrected.

The President should not apologize for wounded or killed troops. It is a war fought by an all volunteer force. They knew the consequences of signing up for the military.

The President should not apologize for Katrina either. There was a week between when the first warning was given until the time it hit. If people chose not to leave, then they needed to figure it out for themselves. Anyone who depends on the federal government to take care of them deserves what they get

Answer 4

Wow, so he even lied about admitting he was wrong.

Actually, he didn't listen to his generals. Here's how it works. A general says something against what he's already decided. That general gets fired and replaced by a "yes-man" toady. Then Bush claims he listened to his generals.

That doesn't count if you already ignored and replaced expert dissenting opinion.

The governor of Louisiana didn't ask him to withhold federal aid. She asked for the aid, and Bush responded by saying he'd only send it to her if she completely handed over all control of resources and efforts to his crack team of Michael Brown, Chertoff, Moe, Larry and Curly.

The governor correctly stated that she would be shirking her duties to accept those conditions, and reiterated her request for aid without political strings attached.

Why do conservatives lie when defending Bush? Oh wait, that's not a good question, because it's impossible to defend him otherwise.

Answer 5

The generals begged for more troops but Rumsfeld said no. So Bush went along with Rumsfeld and didn't support the troops. "Heck of a job, Brownie", a Bush appointee, ignored the perils of Katrina and Bush believed him.

Your premise is totally false.

Answer 6

It is the Dem's who refuse to admit when they are wrong.

They speak as though they are perfect, yet they hide their true intentions.

If given the chance to discredit ANY one who believes in GOD or they try to expose them for being haters, they will.

They encourage selfishness, and hatred.

There is something we need to realize, they are Socialists who have hijacked the Democrat's name and beliefs and twisted them as they do the Bible and our Constitution

Answer 7

how sad you are.

why don't you just redefine the word failure as success, so you can call the bush years a success.

Answer 8

LMAO ! I love good sarcasm. Keep up the good work.

Answer 9

A brief reminder, Mr. Bush: You are not the United States of America.

You are merely a politician whose entire legacy will have been a willingness to make anything political; to have, in this case, refused to acknowledge that the insult wasn’t about the troops, and that the insult was not even truly about you either, that the insult, in fact, is you.

So now John Kerry has apologized to the troops; apologized for the Republicans’ deliberate distortions.

Thus, the president will now begin the apologies he owes our troops, right?

This president must apologize to the troops for having suggested, six weeks ago, that the chaos in Iraq, the death and the carnage, the slaughtered Iraqi civilians and the dead American service personnel, will, to history, “look like just a comma.”

This president must apologize to the troops because the intelligence he claims led us into Iraq proved to be undeniably and irredeemably wrong.

This president must apologize to the troops for having laughed about the failure of that intelligence at a banquet while our troops were in harm’s way.

This president must apologize to the troops because the streets of Iraq were not strewn with flowers and its residents did not greet them as liberators.

This president must apologize to the troops because his administration ran out of “plan” after barely two months.

This president must apologize to the troops for getting 2,815 of them killed.

This president must apologize to the troops for getting this country into a war without a clue.

And Mr. Bush owes us an apology for this destructive and omnivorous presidency.

We will not receive them, of course.

This president never apologizes.

Not to the troops.

Not to the people.

Nor will those henchmen who have echoed him.

In calling him a “stuffed suit,” Sen. Kerry was wrong about the press secretary.

Mr. Snow’s words and conduct, falsely earnest and earnestly false, suggest he is not “stuffed,” he is inflated.

And in leaving him out of the equation, Sen. Kerry gave an unwarranted pass to his old friend Sen. John McCain, who should be ashamed of himself tonight.

He rolled over and pretended Kerry had said what he obviously had not.

Only, the symbolic stick he broke over Kerry’s head came in a context even more disturbing.

Mr. McCain demanded the apology while electioneering for a Republican congressional candidate in Illinois.

He was speaking of how often he had been to Walter Reed Hospital to see the wounded Iraq veterans, of how “many of them have lost limbs.”

He said all this while demanding that the voters of Illinois reject a candidate who is not only a wounded Iraq veteran, but who lost two limbs there, Tammy Duckworth.

Support some of the wounded veterans. But bad-mouth the Democratic one.

And exploit all the veterans and all the still-serving personnel in a cheap and tawdry political trick to try to bury the truth: that John Kerry said the president had been stupid.

And to continue this slander as late as this morning — as biased or gullible or lazy newscasters nodded in sleep-walking assent.

Sen. McCain became a front man in a collective lie to break sticks over the heads of Democrats — one of them his friend, another his fellow veteran, legless, for whom he should weep and applaud or at minimum about whom he should stay quiet.

That was beneath the senator from Arizona.

And it was all because of an imaginary insult to the troops that his party cynically manufactured out of a desperation and a futility as deep as that of Congressman Brooks, when he went hunting for Sen. Sumner.

This is our beloved country now as you have redefined it, Mr. Bush.

Get a tortured Vietnam veteran to attack a decorated Vietnam veteran in defense of military personnel whom that decorated veteran did not insult.

Or, get your henchmen to take advantage of the evil lingering dregs of the fear of miscegenation in Tennessee, in your party’s advertisements against Harold Ford.

Or, get the satellites who orbit around you, like Rush Limbaugh, to exploit the illness — and the bipartisanship — of Michael J. Fox. Yes, get someone to make fun of the cripple.

Oh, and sir, don’t forget to drag your own wife into it.

“It’s always easy,” she said of Mr. Fox’s commercials — and she used this phrase twice — “to manipulate people’s feelings.”

Where on earth might the first lady have gotten that idea, Mr. President?

From your endless manipulation of people’s feelings about terrorism?

“However they put it,” you said Monday of the Democrats, on the subject of Iraq, “their approach comes down to this: The terrorists win, and America loses.”

No manipulation of feelings there.

No manipulation of the charlatans of your administration into the only truth-tellers.

No shocked outrage at the Kerry insult that wasn’t; no subtle smile as the first lady silently sticks the knife in Michael J. Fox’s back; no attempt on the campaign trail to bury the reality that you have already assured that the terrorists are winning.
