Here are some Facts for my LIBERAL friends, What Say YOU?

Question

Since 9/11. The Terrorists have hit Spain, London, Bali and others but have not been able to strike America again. Thanks GWB!

The Unemployment rate is a VER VERY low 4.6%

The Democrats controll congress and have NOT called on Bush to testify for any of the things YOU accuse him of on a daily basis. This tells me that they have nothing but HOT AIR. It also tells me that Bush has restored Honor & Dignity back to the Oval Office.

Saddam is Dead - Fact

Taliban no longer controls Afganistan - Fact

Dow 13,0000 - Fact


Can't spin facts now can you?

Also, However bad you think Bush is; America thought he was better than any of the morons you ran in 2000 & 2004.

Unlike Carter & Clinton, Bush will go down in history as a TWO term president who did not get IMPEACHED!

Answer 1

Here comes the wild eyed conspiracies completely void of fact and reason.

Answer 2

Others have covered many points quite well already so just two.

{Also, However bad you think Bush is; America thought he was better than any of the morons you ran in 2000 & 2004.}

Gore WON the popular vote in 2000. So % wise the American people voted Gore NOT for Bush. If popular vote got a person the presidency, then Bush would NEVER have become president in the first place!!

{Unlike Carter & Clinton, Bush will go down in history as a TWO term president who did not get IMPEACHED!}

Did you fail history class?
First- Carter was NEVER inpeached. There was no attempt to impeach him. WHERE did you get that piece of crap "fact"?!?!?!
Second-President of the United States Bill Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives on December 19, 1998, and acquitted by the Senate on February 12, 1999.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment_of_Bill_Clinton
So Clinton was never actually impeached either!
Third- Impeachment proceedings have been brought against a president 3 times in US history. Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton. Johnson and Clinton were aquitted. Nixon resigned before the impeachment proceedings could be completed.

Answer 3

First, your statement that Spain, England, Bali and others have had terrorist attacks but we haven't thanks to Bush is specious logic- the absense of attacks is not proof that anything Bush has done has stopped attacks, and anyway why come here when Iraq is so much closer and has plenty of American soldiers already there as tragets?

Second, the Congress has tried repeatedly to get Bush administration officials to testify, but the most secretive, constitution-abusing, executive-privelege-abusing admin in history just continues to stonewall and pretend they can't remember anything. As far as Bush restoring honor and dignity to the office- well your definitions of those words must be very different than mine.

Third- Taliban no longer controls Afghanistan? You must have gotten ahold of some of the record opium crop that is being produced in that country by the Taliban if you believe that.

Fourth- There is plenty of evidence that Bush did not win in 2000 or 2004. You may not want to read or believe any of the evidence, but it's there. Over 3,000,000 ballots were suspiciously discarded in 2004 and pretty much all of them were votes for Kerry.

Last of all, how can you talk about "facts" with statements like "Unlike Carter and Clinton....etc". Even a brain-dead propaganda filled tool should know that Carter only served one term (he lost to the neo-con hero, and original budget-busting fiscally insane Reagan, remember? I mean really, how could you forget that?) and he wasn't impeached.

Answer 4

Mostly spin than fact, because you like to cherry pick information that you think looks good but no one is fooled by it.

1) Your claim that the terrorists "have not been able to strike America again." Actually they strike every day, they do it in Iraq where it is easier and cheaper. And thanks GWB for throwing American bodies at the terrorists so that they don't go after me.

2) Unemployment is at 4.6%, but the QUALITY of the jobs is at an all time low. Part of the reason for so many forclosures is because people who were nmaking a good living saw their jobs shipped oversees and replaced with low paying jobs and these people can no longer afford their houses. During Bush's administration, five million more people than before live under the poverty level while corperations are making record profits. Maybe this little fact slipped your mind when you listed your "facts".

3) Saddam is dead - fact. Bin Laden is not. Saddam didn't attack the US, Bin Laden did. So who cares?

4) Dow 13,000..fact. The Dow has not been an economic indicator for many years. Long ago, the NASDAQ overtook the Dow as a leading economic indicator. And five years ago the Nasdaq was over 5,000, today it's at just over 2,500.

5) Taliban no longer controls Afganistan - Fact
Not really, since Bush decided not to finish them off and divert us to Iraq, the Taliban has restrengthened and is once again formidable in Afghanistan.

And your post proves that obviously you CAN spin facts.

Answer 5

How can you spin these facts to make Bush look good?
Al Qaeda has reformed in Pakistan, Osama Bin Laden is still alive, Al Qaeda has pre 9/11 strength, We have been attacked after 9/11 remember the anthrax scare, We could have wasted less money and lives focusing on the people who actually attacked us on 9/11, Al Qaeda attacked us on 9/11, Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, Bush was in a position to do good things and get the people who attacked us but instead he went into Iraq, Iraq was not a threat to the U.S., It is not the U.S.'s job to turn countries into democracies just because we don't like their government, bush is a hypocrite because he will fight terrorism half way across the world but he will leave our borders open when there is a high risk of terrorists coming into our country through South America or Canada, Iraq did not have weapons of mass destruction, 3,790 American troops dead , 27,004 troops injured, most of the country does not approve of Bush, most of the country wants the troops home, most of the world does not like America, the housing market is in shambles, Bush has just managed to get the unemployment rate back down after 8 whole years in office, Clinton managed to keep it low during his entire time in office, Clinton was found not guilty when impeached, Clinton served two terms.....just try to twist those facts into Bush's favor.

Answer 7

After Timothy McVeigh's terror attack and Alqaidas many attacks on the US embassies, USS Cole, and others, Bush and Co. still were asleep at the wheel for 9/11. With no other threats in the world Bush could not stop Bin Laden with 1 billion per month going to kill an old man in a third world country. The taliban still controls afghanistan and the opium trade that has thrived to record levels under American occupation.167 billion per year for Iraq a country that only produced 18 Billion per year in oil. Could we have paid Saddam 5 or 6 billion to step down and have elections? Or stoped paying him the 18 billion per year for oil, and give the money to the Kurds??Bush did not lower taxes , Bush could not check Government and in fact made it bigger and more powerful. Any gains in Americas financial strength is due to Hard working Americans not Bush. Bush made the Constitution Weaker, and shifted rights to the Government and away from the citizens.
the USS Cole was bombed on Clintons watch, but the facts came out on Bushs watch he was asked by Richard White to attack and destroy the Terror camps in Afghanistan, Bush said no because. that hapened on clintons watch. Saddam was a conservative right winger like Hitler and the rest of the right wing dictators.. Qadaffi (lybia) the rigth wing is the most dangerouse . Conservative Germans Killed 6 million Jews .a nuclear strike on a major city could only compare.right wing conservatives did the actual killing for Hitler. The police rounded up the Jews , just like our police would do here to us if they were asked to.. and the Military exterminated them baked them in ovens . Hitler didnt cook babys in the ovens it was right wing military men that did it.. Hitler or Bush or Hillary ,anyone who will lead them Hiel Hitler. How could it Happen? look at the right wing today.. Full of lies we murder 50,000 of our own people here a year 38,000 drunken drivers kill americans and terrorism is a small slice of the dangers we have every day but the right want to focus on it and over react,,, crazy like all historys overreaction,,, what threat did the Jews pose ?? I cant remember the German Propa ganda but I'm sure it was baseless as the republicans fear of muslims.. My grandma could have taken out Osama! .They do believe that the Muslims are out to get us and take over the world.. Why not kill them all?

Answer 8

I am continually amazed when people speak with such child like ignorance that you display so readily and heartily. You do this National Republican Administration proud.
I do disagree with you on all your points.
1. Overall income for the average american family fell nearly 2 percent during this National Republican Bush Administration.
2. Saddam is dead and why are we still there?
3. The taliban and Al Quaeda are still very much active in Afghanistan and Bin Laden is hello, hello?
4. The Republican supported right wing of this Republican Administration run by President Bush/Cheney is the worst in history and has made an historical blunder exceeding Waterloo.
5. I don't know what your last sentence means since neither of the two Presidents were impeached. However, this President has a good chance of being impeached if we all stand together and vote more Democrats into office where we can have the votes for impeachment.
Won't you join us?
Thanks

Answer 9

Uh, Randy, would you like to calm down?

First in regards to terrorists not hitting the States since 2001: there were no terrorist attacks in America between 1993 and 2001. So by your thinking, really until late 2009, I don't think George really deserves too much praise yet.

Second, although I am not a Democrat, unlike partisan Republicans, the Dems don't seem interested in playing "gotcha!" politics with the President the way the Republicans did in the 1990's.

Saddam is dead--hurrah. What's your point?

The Taliban do not control Afganistan and for that, Mr. Bush deserves praise. But the administration has sat on their fannies since then, and now the Taliban once again control significant parts of the country.

Economic figures: who cares? Compared to the countries of the industrialized world, the average American's standard of living is well-below the rest.

Finally, what do all these things have to do with one another? Honestly, if you want to make a strong argument for the quality of Mr. Bush's presidency, you need to be considerably more intelligible than you are here.

Cheers.

Answer 10

The United States is the most hated nation on the face of the earth-Fact

The occupation of Iraq is the result of the worst planning in American military history-Fact

The occupation of Iraq has been used as an incredibly effective recruiting tool for Islamic terrorists-Fact

Bush has stonewalled congressional investigations-Fact

The War in Iraq is astonishingly unpopular and will lead to the Republicans getting their rears handed to them in 2008-Fact

Answer 11

Saddam is dead, so? The estimates of how many people Saddam has killed in his 20 years are less than the Iraqi's have been dying in the 4 years and 6 months that the US has been in Iraq.

The Taliban is no longer in control of Iraq, YIPPEEE. Now Osama Bin Laden is free, and on top of that Afghanistan became the main supplier of opium (you know, the precursor for Heroin?) since the US took over. They now account for 97% of opium distributed throughout the world.

Dow 13,000....so? The Dow can rise to 50,000 if it wants, if the price of the American dollar keeps going down it won't matter what the Dow is at, we'll be broke. For christs sake when I enlisted in the Army I went to Australia for a trip before I left, the American dollar got me almost 2 Australian dollars for one. Now? $1.20 AU dollars to US.

America thought he was better? No, Bush had Karl Rove who despite his convictions if very, very calculating. But now Bush doesn't even have that, does he? How sad that not even Karl Rove would stay on board with Bush.

Let's not even get into Katrina....
