Well, for one, he knows where he stands on issues. You've got to at least admit he will tell you where he stands. John Kerry couldn't figure out where he was on any issue. You can't elect someone like that. And Al Gore IMO would have continued the "gifts" to China, and probably would have continued on like Clinton pretending that radical Islamists don't pose a national security risk. I do agree with you that we should get chinese made stuff out of our country. But is that entirely up to Bush? I mean he can sign something into law like a tariff on imported goods, or some other protectionist measure. But can he force American manufacturers to set up shop back here in America? The answer is no. I do think the public (free market if you will) is putting alot of recent pressure to do just that. I just hope they listen.

Failed Democrat Congress? Clearly, sir, you don't know how much of a failure the Republicans were during Bush's presidential reign in 2000-2004. Lets see what we've gotten ourselves into:

-A war that's cost over 3,000 lives and 25,000 limbs AND 360,000 dead civilians.
-An unstable stock market that requires money from the government to be added to the equation (Bush added an addition $400 billion to it about two months ago).
-Possibly World War III with Iran and Russia (their alliance with each other...).
-Severe inflation in the country.
-Outrageous insurance and real estate prices.

The Democrats have just taken control of Congress. It's only been a few months. You can't suddenly make everything that's wrong with this country (a lot) go away overnight. It takes time and cooperation, something I've not seen out of the Republicans in Congress towards the Democrats.
What have the Democrats actually accomplished? The problem with them is that they've tried to railroad things that we as a nation are doing, and they themselves have voted for. That sir, is the problem. We are at war....get over it. The troops are in the field. Don't demoralize them by comparing them to Nazi's...Dick Durbin. Don't demoralize them by saying they are killing Iraqi civilians in cold blood....John Murtha. And then find out that wasn't true. Don't demoralize them by saying the "war is lost"...Harry Reid. You get the drift. Personally for these infractions, they deserve to be gone. If you want to get rid of the whole lot and start fresh, I wouldn't fight you on that at all. :up: But this nutty Democrat party has to go.

As far as a tax cut, I needed it as I get hit by that darn AMT. It helped me and my family financially. And I did add it to my own investment portfolio. I don't know whether or not if you can see how people doing stuff like that actually helps the economy.

You've got your thick mind made up, so I'm done wasting my time on you.

Oh, and if you join, you'll get 5 free cookies, a teddy bear, and a statue that depicts Martha confessing to Mrs. Garret that the poem she "composed" for advanced writing class was actually a plagiarized work from Emily Dickinson.

I could say the same "thick mind" comment back in your direction. But I don't wish to insult you in reverse. But just look at the statements made from these people. It's not made up.....it's what they said. And they have nothing on record to show that they are a worthy congress. I'm willing to listen to other points of view. But don't get insulted if I question your beliefs in return. I have nothing against you, sir.

And I wouldn't be suprised of it, juding by your debate methods.:shifty:

So I'm done.

Well, the funny thing is you're the one that threw an insult at me. Not the other way around. But seriously though, I don't take it personally.

Then you aren't a US taxpayer. If you are then assuming you are too young to have made any money before this year you will still be getting a Bush tax cut when you pay your 2007 taxes.

Quote:

Islamic terrorism has made all Muslims and Islamics into stereotypes
And that is Bush's fault how?

Quote:

and the Chinese are still producing crap with lead in them.

For instance, I bought a brand new microwave last week and put it up. I tried it out on some taco shells (made in China, as the box said), and the thing starts flickering, and the taco shells burst into flames, one thing that happens when metal is inside a microwave. Had my neighbor dissect it, and the actual machine is fine, no troubles there, so it must have been what's in the shells that I was about to eat...
I agree that the Chinese produce crap but, sorry, :lol: your story sounds like a load of bovine feces. Flaming tacos? really... :roll:

Quote:

Wrong. The United States CONGRESS holds the nations purse strings and controls the issue of money, not the Administration. Civics 101 man.

Quote:

-Possibly World War III with Iran and Russia (their alliance with each other...).
Meh, this is nothing compared to the old days. I was born in 1959. You want to contemplate the possibilty of WW3 try experiencing air raid drills in grade school. Try seeing fallout shelters in peoples back yards. "Remember kids if you see a bright flash, stop, drop and cover!" Try standing on the edge of the actual Iron Curtain as a young Army private in the late 1970's and looking across the barbed wire and minefields at a powerful and modern equipped enemy army that outnumbered you so badly it would take the use of nukes to stop them if the decided to attack like everyone expected them to at any moment.

Quote:

-Severe inflation in the country.
Inflation is not severe at all and certainly nothing compared to what we had during the Carter administration but inflation is hardly the presidents fault.

Quote:

-Outrageous insurance and real estate prices.
Again all this is Bush's fault how?

Cooperation a very two way street and the Democrats have been in power for a year now. Instead of trying to work with the administration or the other side of the aisle at all, they have spent that time doing what they can to further polarize this country when they ain't badmouthing our our own service people.

Quote:

They don't care about the people, they just care about their ridiculous pay and their 70-day vacations. The whole lot of them is corrupt (Demo, Repub, and Independent). We should remove them all and start over.
Depends on what you mean by start over but yeah i'd also like to see a big congressional shakeup.

Quote:

And we shouldn't even be in Iraq. The Republicans are the ones who went along with it (just saying we should), and Bush never even had his demand to go to war approved by Congress, something which is QUITE illegal and should have earned him an immediate impeachment trial.
Wrong again. The US Congress voted for this war. Where do you hear this junk?

Quote:

Saddam had the situation under control in Iraq.
Hitler had the situation under control in Germany as well. Your point?

Quote:

He said that we should remove Saddam in 2004 because he wasn't doing an adequate job as their leader AND he was in possession of WMD's. No WMD's were found, and 2007-Bush says we have to stay in Iraq because the terrorists will take over.
The bottom line is that Saddam Hussein was a die hard enemy of this country who would have done everything he could to hurt us and had the oil money to do it with once we pulled our boot off his neck. He repeatedly violated the Gulf war cease fire agreement for 12 YEARS by firing on our forces patrolling the UN no fly zone almost on a daily basis when he wasn't massacring Kurds and Shias or threatening to use the WMD he did his best to convince the entire world he had. That's like telling a cop you have illegal guns and drugs at your house and complaining when they subsequently raid it but don't find any.

Members of Congress from both US parties as well as the previous administration repeatedly said ever since the Gulf war ended that he was a huge danger to this country and needed to be taken out. Just because certain democrats have selective amnesia now doesn't change that.

If anything that tendancy toward amnesia proves to me that while he is certainly no Teddy Roosevelt, Bush was the best choice available at the time.

i will state one fact in the 40 odd years of conflict in northern ireland do you know how many IRA major weapons caches were found a massive 2 thats a country 40 times smaller than iraq , just becasue we didnt find them doesnt mean they were not there


and this lame arguement about permission that the US president needs,he has to ask congress thats why hes not the most powerful man in the world the leader of the chiniese republic needs to ask no-one to go to war
