The others are right, FC, but... So long as you're bringing these issues up...Ahem...
Wow! Can you say "Defensive"? Take a look back at what I asked and take a step back and look at your comments. Think about what makes you jump to Bush's defense whenever his name comes up.
Read what the others said of my comment. They explained the meaning behind it perfectly.
It is clear that deep down you're not happy with his decisions and feel the need to defend him because you see it as defending yourself since you voted for him and his Republican cronies and in a way you feel partially responsible for his actions.
No. I don't agree with everything he's done. But I don't disagree either. I'll get into that later, but the fact is I pray for him and I support him AS OUR LEADER because he is the man God has put in power over us. THAT is why I am so 'defensive', and why I get so worked up when liberals, like you, start bashing him.
Certainly it is noble to feel responsible, but I think it's obvious that very few people intended for what they got when voting for Bush.
That depends on who you ask. I expect a president to lead the country in a Godly manner, to abstain from immorality, and to do what he feels is best for the country. Bush is human, yes. He has made mistakes. But he has lived up to my expectations... That's more than I can say for Clinton.
Even though you may have misjudged Bush, Gore, and Kerry,
Perhaps you've misjudged Bush. But I haven't misjudged Gore or Kerry. I am informed of their stances- or lack thereof- quite well thankyou.
it's not your fault that the President has led this country on rampage that has damaged the environment - which our kids will have to live in, exploded the deficit - which our kids will have to pay for, made us more dependant on big oil, left at-large for over four years the country's worst enemy - a 6ft tall terrorist dragging a dialysis machine from recording studio to recording studio, led us into a senseless and failing war in a country that posed little threat to us, increased the rate of poverty every year, appointed his unqualified friends into important positions leaving us all unsafe, put a political party of criminals in charge, and stalled the decrease in abortions seen in the years before Bush. You ought to take some time to pray about where you stand and what is most important- then decide if you should continue to support the Republican party.
This paragraph so reeks of leftist propaganda and rhetoric that I don't even know where to begin. F_C, if you must bash Bush for something, try to find somethig original? Please?
First, just what has he done to the environment? Are you going to blame him for Katrina just like the others? For global warming? BAH!
The deficit? My friend... You are sorely misinformed. I've studied a little economics. The fact of the matter is economic changes take about four years to have a noticeable effect. The deficit exploded within the first two years of G.W.'s election... And guess where the blame would lie then? *gasp* WITH CLINTON!
Dependent on foreign oil? Certainly we are. HOWEVER, you are DEAD wrong for blaming Bush. It's the extreme environmentalists (greenie-weenies as my family calls them) and the leftist dummocrats in the government which have caused this. Did you know that the US has an oil deposit beneath Collorado, Missouri (and one other state, can't remember which) that is THREE TIMES BIGGER than the biggest saudi deposit? In Alaska! We would need 2,000 acres, less than 1% of that wilderness to reduce or even eliminate our dependence on foreign oil! Yes, in the long term it would be best to develope hybrid cars or cars that run on hydrogen etc. But in the short term, we need oil, and if leftists would stop blocking, we could drill, quite safely, all we need. So don't star blaming Bush for that.
Osama Bin Laden? Hmm... I seem to recall a president Clinton who was (in essence) offered Osama's head on a silver platter at least 12 times during his administration! But he lacked the backbone to do anything about it and left this country vulnerable. Read the topic I posted about the skeletons in his closet if you don't believe me. Also, don't forget that even if we took Bin Laden out, there would be another that would just step up and take his place. That's the trouble with you Liberals. You think small. Terror is bigger than one man! Terror is a spirit, an attitude! Our job is to confront terror wherever it may be, whatever it might embody, WHOMEVER MIGHT BE USING IT FOR HIS OWN GAIN!
Saddam Hussein wasn't a threat? Wow... That's news to me. I suppose you'd better tell that to the Iranians, and to his own people... The sunnis and kurds that he slaughtered without mercy. As for failing, I don't see faliure at all. In fact, looking at history, this war in Iraq has been one of the most successful in our history. I'll punch the numbers for you if necessary. But I doubt it will be so.
Again, as far as the poverty thing goes, I'd place most of the blame elsewhere, like those people who refuse to work, who freeload off the government and the american people.
Unqualified? Sounds like you've been listening to Michael Moore a little too much. Brown, former head of FEMA was quite qualified. Why not share a little blame for the devastation of Katrina though. Let's see. How about Mayor Nagin? I seem to recall he forgot to put the NO emergency plan into action. Or how about governor Blanco? As I recall, she decided to sit back, thinking the storm would pass NO by. By the time it was obvious that would not be the case, it was too late. But then... Dummocrats seem to have a thing for procrastination. How about the locals who refused to evacuate? But then... You liberals will do anything you can to drag Bush down, won't you?
As far as the criminal thing goes, I assume you're refering to the Delay indictments? ROTFL Have you even read the indictments? First thing prosecutor Ronnie Earle tried to get Delay on was criminal conspiracy. Know what that is? That's just a term that's used whenever nothing else will stick. Delay was only mentioned ONCE in that indictment, ON THE FIRST PAGE! NEVER AGAIN WAS HE MENTIONED! Not only this, but the rest of it had nothing to do with Earle's charges! The grand jury threw the case out, just as the jury before it had. Then Earle mysteriously 'uncovers new evidence over the weekend'. LOL IS THIS CSI?! I DON'T THINK SO! Ronnie Earle goes after political opponants for the gain of his friends and himself. Doesn't matter if their democrat or republican. If they pose a threat to him, he goes after them. He does what he can to criminalize politics.
As for the stall in abortions, you've lost me there... Cite your source, give a link, and then go think for yourself. Because from what I've seen, Bush has done ALL in HIS power to slow or stop them.
I think it is YOU that needs to do the praying. I wonder how pleased God is to see you bashing someone He has put into power. Consider the words of David, "How could you touch the Lord's annointed?!"
THE ELECTIONS ARE OVER! YOU LOST! You may not like Bush or agree with him, but you need to pray for him and support him.
My original post about the Supreme Court Nomination was intended to gain some insight into why so many conservatives are coming out against Miers. I personally feel I don't have enough info to make an informed decision, just as was the case with Roberts. These appointees have revealed very little about their positions on anything . . . how does anyone have such a strong opinion? If you trust Bush's judgement you ought to support the nominee, otherwise you might not. I noticed so many conservative leaders have come out against Miers and I really don't know why. If you trust him on Roberts, why not on Miers? As a separate question . . . do you believe Bush when he says that he doesn't know Mier's stance on Roe v. Wade?
Firstly, the reason is because she does not have a political agenda, which in my mind qualifies her more for the job than most. The supreme court is supposed to be devoid of politics! But alas... Here we are... I've studied more. I'm behind Miers.
And as for the last question about Roe v. Wade, I don't think it matters. I don't think Bush would lie about that. But I personally hope she is against it, seeing as how even Roe is against it now.
