Oneway Bipartisanship

[J.D.]

Bingo, it is clear the do nothing party doesn't want change but won't accept the title obstructionist for standing in the way of those who do want change.

GOP = No change = I agree 100%...

Then they criticize Obama for not being able to change their position... One of those things that makes you go HHhhmm??

But if you'll observe my scenario more closely, you'll see that we have been repeatedly guilted into going along with changes we don't really support.

My question is - how much is enough?

Let me put it this way -- is a full third of my income enough taxation? Will you and the government EVER get enough of my money?

No, they wanted change, but they wanted the right kind of change. You see, you think "change" is good in and of itself. It isn't. Not just any change will do. It must be good change. No one at all should have voted for this bill because it was bad change. You don't do something bad just to get along. That's bad politics and bad character.

The difference is between wanting change, and not wanting to be short-changed.

O yes, you are sooo right. There are plenty of things I would love to change. I would love to go back to original constitutional principles, but that sure ain't the direction we're headed.

Even with your numbers is has gained over the number who voted for him. This meas non-supporters are happy with his performance so far.

He is steadily losing support in every way measurable. You know it and everyone knows it.

Oh, thee of selective memory. Bush went in to run the show his way. How many Dems did he put on the cabinet? Turns out Bush wasn't "The Decider" after all. We the People are the deciders, and we finally decided we had had enough of his mismanagement and lies.

All the above is a bunch of [inappropriate language snipped]. The Constitution ended Bush's presidency not the leftists.

Great analysis in post #17. Unfortunately it was way over the dems/liberals/leftists heads.

OOOhhhhh....O'ldReg uses naughty words! Shocking!!

But still true if you consider that although Bushie boy was term limited, the GOP candidate promised to give us more of the same, to continue the misadventures in Iraq. McSame indeed!

 

[Alcott]

Is that the key to keeping that word from being censored-- capitalizing it? Or has the mod just not had time so far?

Bush won the war in Iraq in spite of the resistance from the unpatriotic democrats/leftists.

He won? Oh yeah...Mission Accomplished!

Thanks for the reminder! :laugh:

 

[Alcott]

He [Bush] won?

I think you've got to admit-- he's got a head on his shoulders. Saddam doesn't.

 

[LeBuick]

Can you imagine if it were $50 a week? That would be actual stimulus. But that $50 a week is going to "make work" jobs that won't help the economy.

But you guys are currently complaining about how we're going to pay all this back. If we cut taxes too much, how can government afford to run? We have two wars to finance ya know?

You must win by just declaring it won??? I thought you went home when the war is won???

Are you serious, naive, or worse. We still have troops in Japan and Germany, 60 years after we laid a whupping on them.

We won the war when Bush was POTUS? Why didn't he bring the troops home then?

He made progress, he was on the way to winning, he toppled Saddam.... All those things could be said, but I don't think you can say we won the war until it's over....

Troops are still dying so it's not over...

How many are dying in Germany and Japan each day?

I will repeat what I said to LeBuick:

"Are you serious, naive, or worse. We still have troops in Japan and Germany, 60 years after we laid a whupping on them."

Also my understanding is that Americans were still killed in Germany after the surrender. 60 years after the occupation it is unlikely that American troops would be killed.

You are the naive one... You have your mind made up, you're always in the right it would seem from your posts, so continue to believe what you will.

We have NOT won a war in Iraq, made progress, making progress, getting there, but we have not won it yet.

Peace keeping troops not combat troops...
