Theres more, I’ll get back to you on the rest.
It’s not your government, it’s ours. You left wing hacks have lost the momentum. More people become conservative everyday. Less then 19% define themselves as liberal and that base is shrinking not growing. Do you really think voters want to be associated with people…like you.
Name a source - frankly, I think this is a load of hooey. If everyone was so goddamned conservative, why do more and more people every day oppose the war in Iraq? Why are Bush’s approval ratings the LOWEST IN HISTORY?
I’ll note that the great anti-war protests in the US fizzled over the weekend. Fizzled as in 200 people in NYC, 250 in DC, 50 in Philadelphia. Hardly a grassroots movement. More like a media driven event.
There are a LOT of people who have just given up on protesting the war, because it’s plenty damned clear that those in power have no respect for democracy or public opinion. There were HUGE protests in the build up to the war, and throughout the entire early stages.
Now I think the overall feeling is that the g’vt made such a huge fucking mess, we’re obligated to stick around and clean it the hell up.
Your post is straight from the DNC website.
By the way have you checked the economic stats lately…you should. Even moonbats can find a job these days.
Try comparing the current economy to where it was when Bush stepped into office - it’s nowhere near where it was, our trade defecit is worse than ever, the national debt is OUT OF CONTROL. How can you idiots support Bush!? He tood the incredible momentum our nation had and drove it STRAIGHT INTO THE GROUND. Every time I see a “W” sticker on a car I just want to fucking barf.
Reagan shrunk govenemnt and defeated the Soviet Union. Not bad. All those Democracies in Europe were not due to the Carter Doctrine. By the way the Economy boomed.
Gulf WarI-you remember that one right.
Contract with America- smaller govt. less taxes. Even CLinton liked it.
oooh, Regan! Regan! Reagan! Dude, Reagan borrowed WAY too much money, BLOATED the budget with excessive military spending, and lowered taxes. We’re STILL paying for that shit. Small government my ass.
Of course I remember the first Gulf War. Bush I was smart enough to NOT INVADE. He didn’t overextend our military - smart decision. He didn’t do much for our economy, however, and spend way more money than we had.
I LOVE the idea of “smaller government” - the trouble is, you and all your idiot conny friends bought all the bullshit that the politicians crammed down your throats. Bigger military? YEAH, that IS bigger government! More laws that infringe on the rights of people because they’re gay? I’m sorry, but I’d classify that as bigger government - the g’vt should stay out of people’s way unless it’s to prevent harm and defend people’s basic human rights.
The economy has expanded under GWB depite 9/11 and natural disasters. Despite them!
expanded - NOT exploded. I think you should add “despite BUSH” in there too.
I was part of the Katrina relief efforts. To say the Federal government could not respond to the event betrays you as someone who gets their news from CNN only. I saw over 70 helicopters rescuing people and all were federal. Those gray ships in the river belonged to the US NAVY, not the state government. $150B despite fighting a war on terror is hardly the sign of a country that has been “too weakened” to respond.
good for you - I’m glad you could afford the time off work to help out - sadly, I couldn’t. …but read my post again - I NEVER said that we were too weakened to respond, or that we dind’t respond. I said that our ability to respond was weakened. The simple fact is, if we weren’t in a war that WE started for essentially NO REASON AT ALL, our response would’ve been faster and stronger, and as a result, fewer people would’ve died.
…so answer my original question, dingbat - you conveniently left the answer out while you were attacking me and citing total bullshit about how great the conservatives were in the 80’s.
so here’s the goddamned question again so your laxy conny ass don’t have to scroll up:
“AND JUST WHAT GOOD HAVE YOU MORONS DONE WITH THE POWER?”
I answered your question asshole.
As to your sources it was reported on a lot of MSM sites. Look it up on the internet. I found it on the “right wing news”. Cover your eyes though, knowledge is dangerous.
Might want to look up some of the economic stats why you are at it.
The Vietnam war ended after Nixon was elected. LBJ didn’t have the courage. Peace in general. Man the 70’s were really a blur for you. Were you alive during that period? Iran? Cold War? Peace was obtained via a superior military force…it was in all the history books.
Civil rights were bipartisan. Even a revisionist has to see that. Jewish people who form the basis of the Neoconservatism movement were a huge part of it. More so then left coast liberals. To be perfectly frank both sides got us into that position. The only people who should be able to claim civilrights as an accomplishment are blacks in my opinion. They created the movement, politicans either supported it or they stood in it’s way.
The military is not the govenrnment. No point is arguing with such a naive view of the world. Your so misinformed it’s pointless. They are seperated for a reason. This was particularly important during the Clinton years as am sure you remember.
Your argument regarding the government being weakened by the war with regard to Katrina is tangental. It was also weakened by our committment of troops to Europe, by foriegn aid during the Tsunami and by entitlement spending. The two have nothing to do with each other. Try again and make sense this time moonbat.
Expanded not exploded. Yes I am sure Gore and Kerry would have steered the economy towards explosive growth by increasing spending and entitlement programs. That’s the way to grow the economy. You do know that the IRS brought in more money after the tax cuts then before due to the increase in economic growth they stimulated. I’m shocked if you didn’t? You could look it up. Enter “tax cuts bush” into google.
Grammar…read you first post. Your funny. Kind of like the smelly kid in high school funny.
You are way out of your league son. Read a little more and come back with a better thought out opinion. Wishing doesn’t make it so…if it did the dems would still be in control of the government.
If you can make a point that is not filled with feeble attempts at personal attacks and what passes for liberal with these days I’ll debate you. Otherwise have a great day. I know I will. After all Conservatives are generally happy with their lives and family. (same poll…look it up)
The Vietnam War ended after Nixon was elected because…we lost.
Are you claiming the man who secretly and illegally bombed Laos and Cambodia for no good reason whatsoever was a peacemaker? The rehabiliation of Nixon really shouldn’t be starting on our watch.
Iran? You’re referring to the hostage crisis, right? The hostage crisis that, while Carter did screw the pooch on it, Reagan “solved” by making a secret deal with the Islamofascists instead of wiping the off the map like he should have done?
And the Cold War? We won that, so now there’s peace?
I think we were better off then instead of now fighting the surrogates we armed, trained, and then abandoned.
