To the people who love Bush, can you help me come up with positive or negative things that Bush has done for our great country. I can't think of anything positive that he has done for our country, so maybe you can help me. Also feel free to put your two cents worth in on the republican congress who carried Bush every step of the way with a big rubber stamp. So I will start it off with a few and then you can add yours.


1. Bush gave us war. No WMD's.

2. Bush has cut veterans benefits. No support for our troops.

3. Bush declared war on the middle class by giving tax breaks to the rich.

4. Bush is a decider. He's the only president that does not need a congress or a senate.

5. Bush is batting zero in education. He could use some himself.

6. Bud Cramer, Senator Shelby and Session's, are owned by corporations and ignore the people of Alabama.

7. All senators and congress are owned by corporations.

8. Attention TimesDaily. This is not copy and paste so there will not be a link in this particular article of mine.

9. People still fall for the republican propaganda that the democrats are going to take your guns away, started by the far right wingers.

10. I cannot think of anything good that Bush has done that was good for our country so you will have to help me think of something.

11. Bush has made other countries hate us.

12. Bush has gotten us in a great deficit that your children and grandchildren will have to pay for.

13. Can you name at least five things that Bush has done for you as an individual or the country?

14. Bush has taken a lot of your freedom away through the Patriot Act.

15. Do you want your country back yet?

16. Since when does the media investigate? If you would call TimesDaily or any other media in the area, they will tell you they do not do investigative news because if they did, there would be follow-ups on a lot of stories that never get mentioned anymore.

Ok. Your turn.

Bush had 1 good day- when he stood on the rubble of the World Trade Center and made that speech thru the bullhorn.

You forgot the disaster that is Katrina- Bush went the other way. From reports of friends in La. , Bush had been taking money from the Core who kept the levies, and put it in the Iraq war.

Also he signed a bill to attempt to save one poor girl in Fla. from being disconnected from life support, and then vetoed a bill which would fund medical research which could possibally help millions.

He has built hospitals and schools for Iraq, and gives health care to the people of Iraq, while doing nothing to help the people of the USA solve those same issues.

He has failed to issue a parden to the two border agents who were prosicuted by his administration for doing their job.

For that matter, he has done nothing to stop the flow of illegal alians across the southern border.

Bush and Fox (and now the new president of Mexico) are planning on building a super highway from Mexico to Canada. It will come just east of Memphis. We do not get to vote on this!

He attempted to sell our sea ports to a company owned by the United Arab Emerates. Got shot down by congress, and tried again, with them using another name.

His administration (I personally believe it goes back to him) outted a CIA agent who was collecting information on the nuclear program in Iran because her husband told the truth about Iraq not trying to get yellowcake from Africa. This was of course personally injurous to the agent, but VERY injurous to our intelligence service. This is treason!
Moving funds from the Corps civil projects appropriation to Defense appropriation (two seperate acts of Congress) wouls set off so many alarm bells that no fed would touch it. All parties who signed or approved it would be felons. Its one of the most closely watched funds.

The girl was brain dead and had been for years. If fetal stem cells are so important, let the medical research corporations pay for it.

Valerie Plame was admin and not an operative -- no one has been accused or otherwise prosecuted.

Iraqis did try to buy uranium, but were turned down.

Yes, Compean and Ramos should be pardoned. The federal prosecutor should be investigated -- something smells.
The girl was brain dead and should have been allowed to die without Bush, Frist, or any government attempted intervention. Why did our congress waste time on this, and Bush sign off?

If your children or grandchildren were at risk of some inherited disease that may be someday cured by research on fetal stem cells you may feel different. If you don't , then that says something about how you feel about your children, and I don't want to know more about you.

Plame was undercover. The front company she was with was outted when she was. Although you are correct in that no one has been charged with treason for that, during a war time someone should be and be hanged for it. That is one more travisty of this administration.

One reason Bush gave to invade Iraq was this purchase. Remember he threatened that Iraq would nuke us?

I bet that for the money we have spent in Iraq, we could have filled in the entire city of New Orleans that is below sea level and not need the levies anymore. My bet is that if the flooding had been in Bagdad, Bush would have moved heaven and earth to save Bagdad, he just didn't care about New Orleans. As proof, his aids had to compile a DVD of news reports to show him what had happened so he would believe it. (we all know he dosn't watch the news)
1. The president did the absolute right thing. Intelligence failures dating back to the Carter days are partly if not mostly to blame. Restrictions placed on the CIA caused us to lose vital connections in the region and around the world. It will take years to get those inside connections re-established. He did what was right not what is popular.

2. I am a veteran and no other President since Ronald Reagan has so supported the Military. I have not seen any loss of benefits.

3. Do your research. Clinton taxed the Middle Class and gave breaks to the rich and poor. Here is the tax rate: Who pays the most taxes? By the way I'm not rich.

$0 $7,550 10% of the amount over $0
$7,550 $30,650 $755 plus 15% of the amount over 7,550
$30,650 $74,200 $4,220.00 plus 25% of the amount over 30,650
$74,200 $154,800 $15,107.50 plus 28% of the amount over 74,200
$154,800 $336,550 $37,675.50 plus 33% of the amount over 154,800
$336,550 no limit $97,653.00 plus 35% of the amount over 336,550


4. That god he is a decider. Congress would get nothing done ever.


5. Bush is much smarter than given credit. The states have been given the tools for education. He is one point I tend to lean towards you on. I think it is a disgrace that a teacher has to spend money from his/her pocket to teach our children.

6. The Senators and congressmen from Alabama are doing a very good job.

7. Tend to agree somewhat on this point. Not one senator has made a stand on illegal immigration. Why? Our jobs have been shipped overseas. Why are American Icons like Ford, GM, Dodge building plants in Mexico and Canada and Toyota/Mercedes/Nissan/ etc building plants here? The Middle Class is in danger. Unless something is done in 50 years we will be rich and poor in the country too.

9. My family (Like most southerners) have always been democrats. However, there are no more Zell Miller democrats. The Democratic Party of my grandfather is no more. The south is the bible belt and we cannot support a party that looks after the agenda of every minority group that presents itself. We believe the majority rules. We want to see prayer before a ballgame, Christmas, Prisoners picking up trash and working, cutting funding for support lazy welfare recipients. etc. My democratic party has missed the boat. 50's and 60's Democratic party is the Republican party of today. Yellow dog democrats are no longer yellow dog because they can't support the Immoral decay of the party.

10. Bush has protected this county. He has taken the fight to the enemy before they bring the fight to us.

11. Did they not hate us before? Everyone wants America to give, give, give and then they turn there back on us when we need there support. Its time we stop their support until its a two way street. (France, Turkey, Saudi, etc)

12. Gotta put gas in those Tanks, Hummers and Planes.

13. Couple things he hasn't done: Whitewater, Lewinsky. He has brought God back into the white house. Other countries respect us now even if they don't like us.

14. If you are not doing anything wrong what are you worried about?

I remember that day, that speech, and I have to admit, for a while there he even fooled me, and I defended him to several people.. .. who I have since had to apologize to.

If you think Bush made rest of world hate us you don't get out of the country.

US pays more per capita than any country in the world for education. Blame states, counties, cities, and teacher's unions for poor outcome.


He has done NOTHING to help Vets get what they deserve in our local offices, and I feel like that is true with offices everywhere... Yes, the staffing has been cut to the bone... and Veterans, like my Dad gets the run-around every time he goes there... it is sickening!!!! Bet if Dubbya were to EVER get the run-around like our Veterans do, he would have a fit1!!!

What a hypocrit.
