When Bush falls, the dittoheads are going to say he was a liberal.

I see it on other message boards. They are starting to say he's not really a conservative, he's a liberal because he spends so wildly.

I hope Howard Dean can come up with a strategy to fight this!

(going to bed now--nite all)

They are convinced of the non-falsifiable proposition that their approach is infalliable. If a Democrats wins it's because he was a DLCer. If he loses it's because he was too liberal and DLC enough.

because he's built government up to unprecedented heights and has run up huge deficits. Traditional conservatives don't like that. But he certainly isn't liberal. It's interesting that they are starting to turn on him already.

he is. We know he isn't but they think so. But now he's failing of course he isn't. I wonder if any of them would be for impeachments? :shrug:

and I wouldn't waste time thinking about it. It's not going to happen.

temporarily.

"Liberal" has gotten the connotation of wild spending even though it isn't what it's about.

Does this mean true conservatives and the neoCons are starting to eat each other? Before the 2006 elections?

Pass the popcorn--and I'll have a diet drink, thanks!

Did I miss something? He's had so many scandals that just glanced off his teflon.

Americans are starting to "wake up." "Read my lips," like father like son is gonna happen.

That noose is getting tighter and tighter... American's are beginning to awaken.

And welcome! :hi:

something in his speech. He's never been a confident speaker, but he really seems to be losing even more of his capacity to speak well.

Stuttering, misstatements, and a definite stress in the voice.

Does anyone else think he KNOWS he's a puppet, finally?

are more like us than Bush, believe it or not. I can remember when we were all Americans, with slight differences of opinions between R's and D's. The Newt Gingrich/Ronnie Reagan Cult is what really fucked things up. Let's "make sure, guaranteed", that Gingrich WILL NEVER, EVER hold a public office again. It's a sure bet that pimps and pedophiles alike consider Gingrich to be scum.

I think it's the special interests and corporations that are fucking up the preamble.

The democratic party needs to crash and burn. It's salvagable. I'll support whatever rises out of the ashes --Phoenix.

The republican party, whatever that means is lost in space.

I remember a time when conservatives simply annoyed me. Now they are truly f***ing with my country, my life, our soldiers, OUR FUTURE. I F***ING DESPISE THEM NOW.

You nailed it, Skittles.

If I use this idea, will you kick my ass?!

He runs on greed, nothing more. Even the earning of Deddy Bush's approval takes a back seat to greed in Dumbya's wet little "brain".

Go figure. I'm not surprised at all. All us liberals are to blame! Republicans and consveratives don't ever make mistakes. Oooh no! :argh:

A comparison of the federal deficits accumulated since 1960 under republican presidents and under democratic presidents shows Bush to be a little above average as a big spender for republican presidents.

The Kennedy/Johnson administrations accumulated deficits of $53.5 billion. The annual deficit never exceeded 3% of GDP.

The Nixon/Ford administrations accumulated deficits of $265.5 billion. The annual deficit exceeded 3% of GDP 2 times.

The Carter administration accumulated deficits of $252.7 billion. The annual deficit never exceeded 3% of GDP.

The Reagan administration accumulated deficits of $1,412.2 billion. The annual deficit exceeded 3% of GDP 7 times.

The Bush the Lesser administration accumulated deficits of $1,035.8 billion. The annual deficit exceeded 3% of GDP 4 times.

The Clinton administration accumulated a surplus of $62.5 billion. The annual deficit never exceeded 3% of GDP.

The Bush the Liar administration has so far accumulated deficits of $947.5 billion and projects additional accumulated deficits during his administration of $1,612.5 billion. The annual deficit has exceeded 3% of GDP 2 times and will once again this fiscal year.

Thus, of the slightly more than $3.9 trillion in accumulated deficits since 1960, more than $3.6 trillion has been accumulated under republican presidents while only about $244 billion has been accumulated under democratic presidents. Of course thess numbers do not take inflation into account, but the differences are similar when constatnt 2000 dollars are used for the comparisons. And of the 15 times since 1960 that the annual deficit has exceeded 3% of GDP, every single time it was under a republican president.

He's a corporate appeaser. As long as he keeps the corporations happy he can do whatever he wants without fear of backlash or reprisal. Those who continue to benefit from his policies don't give a rat's ass about the deficit.
