Is it possible the GOP doesn't think their policies caused any damage under Bush?

Almost 7 years into the Obama administration and the retards like Rdean are still obsessed with Bush. ....... :cuckoo:

It's like they know they suck, but they make themselves feel better by convincing themselves that others suck worse.

It's called mental illness.

Bush was the worse. He took the title from carter

Bush never apologized for America nor did he negotiate from a position of appeasement with those nation states that hate America.

Nah. Bush didn't have the balls to go after the country that attacked us on 9/11 (the Saudis) Remember how the Saudis provided all those terrorists and the money they needed to attack us?

Yea Bush didn't go after them.. Bush appeased the Saudis. By invading Iraq.

And Bush never did apologize (he should have) for his invasion of a country that didn't attack us.

And Bush never apologized (he should have) for ALMOST putting the entire world in a depression.

And you are so dumb you think this indicates that Bush was a "good" President eh? KMA.
 
Bush 2.0: 100 Ways Barack Obama
Is Just Like George W. Bush
The Humble Libertarian Bush 2.0 100 Ways Barack Obama Is Just Like George W. Bush




The election of President Obama was in no small part, a referendum on the administration of George W. Bush, and his victory was interpreted as a sound rebuke to eight years of open ended warfare, a vast and growing police state, the destruction of civil liberties, disregard for the Constitution, unchecked executive power, lies and broken promises, hypocrisy and arrogance, a lack of transparency in government, out-of-control federal spending, fever-pitch fearmongering, rampant corruption, and some really stupid gaffes. But what have we gotten instead?

More of the same. A LOT more of the same. In fact, every negative aspect of the Bush Administration has come back with a vengeance in the presidency of Barack H. Obama. Everything the American people detested so strongly about Bush has not only characterized the presidency of his successor, it's gotten much worse. Don't believe me? The following is a list of 100 ways President Obama is just like President Bush. We might as well consider it a third Bush term on steroids, or call Mr. Obama "Bush 2.0." If you honestly didn't like Bush, you can't possibly justify liking Obama, not unless you ignore the facts:

Open Ended Warfare

1-13

The Vast Police State

14-21

Disregard for the Constitution
and Unchecked Executive Power


22-32

"Even Obama's own defense secretary said that America faced no imminent threat from Libya. Here are Obama's own words on the matter back when he was a senator:

"The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation."

Lies and Broken Promises

33-43

Arrogance and Hypocrisy

44-57

Lack of Transparency

58-67

Out of Control Spending

68-75

Fear Mongering

76-82

Corruption

83-91

Really Stupid Gaffes

92-100

92. Bowing - In 2009, President Obama actually bowed to a foreign monarch, King Abdullah. After a few more bowing gaffes like bowing to Japanese Emperor Akihito, it started getting weird when Obama bowed to the mayor of Tampa:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The upshot? Stop playing partisan politics. Both of the last two globalist elite presidents are essentially the same. They are having a good laugh at your expense.

BushObamaLaughingItUp

 
Case in point. Many fiscal conservatives criticized and blamed Bush Cheney for their level of deficit spending. Many Liberals were not pleased with this as well; including, Presidential Candidate Obama. Then, Obama tripled the debt and fought tooth and nail for every debt level increase......all the while, blaming Bush. It makes no sense.


Damn dude, you gave the source of Obama's "spending" problem in the beginning of your statement.
"Bush Cheney for their level of deficit spending",.
The bills for the war, the drug program, the tax cuts, All those decisions to deficit spend came back to bite Obama because he was in office when the big bills started coming due.

It wouldn't have mattered who was in the White House after Bush was gone. The same thing would have happened.
The debt would have exploded because the deficit spending on all those Bush decisions continues.

War is still being paid for, care for Vets grows, prescription drugs grows, lowered tax rates continue, all those decisions to spend money on those programs were made by Bush.

Go ahead and say what Obama has spent all those trillions on. I have asked people like you before for this info, but no luck.
You said: Go ahead and say what Obama has spent all those trillions on. I have asked people like you before for this info, but no luck.

What has Obama spent money on? Beside the two wars Obama was handed and all the unemployment for the millions of people who lost their jobs when those jobs were moved to China. Then of course, there was the cost of medical care f the tens of thousands maimed in Iraq. The money invested in the economy to keep it from imploding. Obama had hoped to do great things in America. Instead, he's had to keep the country afloat after what the GOP did to America under Bush. Then there were the hurricames along the east coast. And that's just the beginning.

Obama argued against deficit spending and then tripled the debt. You are forgetting the number of food stamp participants that have grown under his watch. What has Obama done to bring back the lost jobs to China and create more jobs? Is the Middle Class bringing more home from their paycheck or less? The way to save an economy is to grow the Middle Class and Small Business. That has not happened yet the debt has tripled. So, has Obama's policy kept US American Economy afloat or has it simply deferred the hemorragging for later that cannot sustain modest deficit spending?
What happens when you move millions of jobs to China from 2001 to 2008 and people's money runs out. They go get food stamps. Duh!
What has Obama done to bring the jobs back? What did Republican do to stop sending them? How well did they work with Obama to bring them back.
What attracts employers? Low taxes, an educated work force. People with money to buy their stuff. Water. Energy. Transportation. All things the GOP has stymied. Why would they do that? Two reasons. First, their brainless ideology of ignorance and every man for himself makes broad growth impossible. Second, they hate Obama and want him to fail so bad, they are willing to see the country fall. What assholes.

That's a post of bullshit after bullshit. God you guys are fucked up with your lies. Remember, Bush was recent history. We lived through it.
Start with the bowing:

When you look at GOP policies that were passed under the Bush regime, it seems the USMB Republicans live in a parallel world. Everything bad that happened wasn't their fault. So did anything bad happen when they controlled the entire government? If anything bad did happen, was it the result of anything the GOP did?

OK, say that all the damage that was caused was the fault of the Democrats. Was there really any damage? Were there successes? Still, the GOP was able to use reconciliation three times, what did they use it on and was that a success?

Was the GOP so ineffective that even though they controlled the entire government, they couldn't do anything? Does that mean the three times they used reconciliation nothing actually happened?

We need USMB right wingers to tell us what actually happened under Bush and GOP leadership that was good for the country and good for the world. Don't rag on Democrats. Tell us what Republicans did that was a success. Expect to be challenged.


You wrote: Everything bad that happened wasn't their fault.
1) Was the dot.com bust GOP fault? It started under Clinton.
2) Was the recession that begin in July 2000 when President of CRX pointed out box car loadings were declining meaning manufacturing was declining.
3) Now surely it was GOP fault that the GoreLick Memo which prevented the FBI from learning about the 9/11 bombers were in the country from the CIA... yea that was
GOP fault because Gorelick didn't want CIA telling FBI that Chinese political donations to Clinton were in exchange for missile secrets...right all GOP fault.
4) And of course the worst hurricane seasons...not just hurricanes but SEASONS which killed 3,000, out of work 400,000 and cost trillions...ALL GOP fault!
5) And of course the 9/18/2008 withdrawal of $500 BILLION in less then 3 hours from money market funds... all at the direction of GOP investors right?

So did anything bad happen when they controlled the entire government?
And when the Bush administration tried to rein in Fannie/Freddie.. here is what the Democrat leaders of Congress said:

Many prominent Democrats, including House Finance Chairman Barney Frank, opposed any legislation correcting the risks posed by GSEs.
* House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D-MA) criticized the President's warning saying:
"these two entities - Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac - are not facing any kind of financial crisis .
The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms
of affordable housing."...
(Stephen Labaton, "New Agency Proposed To Oversee Freddie Mac And Fannie Mae," New York Times, 9/11/03)

* Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Chairman Christopher Dodd also ignored the President's warnings and called
on him to "immediately reconsider his ill-advised" position.

Nobody blamed the hurricane on Bush, but they did blame the deaths that happened after because Bush and Brownie were too busy partying to help those stranded.

Probably the worst thing Bush did to actively try to kill people accidentally was pass out carcinogenic trailers to people who had already lost everything. What scum to do something like that. How do you defend such awful people without being awful yourself?

Email - Bush s Toxic Trailer Legacy - Sierra Club

Almost two years ago the Sierra Club dropped a bombshell when it revealed the results of tests we conducted on the air inside the trailers issued to victims of Hurricane Katrina by the notorious Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Our tests -- later corroborated by others -- found levels of carcinogenic formaldehyde that were between 5 and 50 more than acceptable levels. In addition to the long-term health risks posed by living in a steamy stew of carcinogens, victims living in the trailers were subject to immediate respiratory distress and other problems. Some may even have died as a result of their exposure to the toxic chemicals.

The air inside the trailers was so dangerous that FEMA warned its own employees about the danger of merely stepping inside to test the air -- much less spending months, if not years, living in one of these toxic tin cans.

And saying that the Clinton's gave missiles secrets for campaign donations???? Without a shred of evidence? They have a daughter here. They would never do that. You have slandered people without a shred of evidence which makes you a terrible liar. And the rest of your charges are just as easy to tear apart. Next time bring evidence. Only you won't because we both know you can't.

Are you just an idiot? Or is it your partisanship that keeps you from thinking clearly?

You didn't bother to even digest what I posted, did you? The point was, all politicians, but especially the last two administrations are equally bad. Who gives a shit?

As far as Bush kissing the Saudi Family? Hell, that's just it, FAMILY. He grew up with them. Or didn't you know because you are too stupid? I have no problem with Obama bowing to foreign dignitaries, but to a mayor? Really? I just think that is just weird. I'm sure she did too. Do you bow to YOUR mayor? lol

Bureaucracy, Bungled Report Collide at Loral
May 31, 1998
A reconstruction of the administration's handling of the waiver for a 1998 U.S. satellite launch in China reveals a complicated, and in many ways mundane, picture of a bureaucratic process propelled by a policy forged in the Reagan and Bush administrations.

Chinese Missile Gain Questioned by Experts

When you look at GOP policies that were passed under the Bush regime, it seems the USMB Republicans live in a parallel world. Everything bad that happened wasn't their fault. So did anything bad happen when they controlled the entire government? If anything bad did happen, was it the result of anything the GOP did?

OK, say that all the damage that was caused was the fault of the Democrats. Was there really any damage? Were there successes? Still, the GOP was able to use reconciliation three times, what did they use it on and was that a success?

Was the GOP so ineffective that even though they controlled the entire government, they couldn't do anything? Does that mean the three times they used reconciliation nothing actually happened?

We need USMB right wingers to tell us what actually happened under Bush and GOP leadership that was good for the country and good for the world. Don't rag on Democrats. Tell us what Republicans did that was a success. Expect to be challenged.
You realize of course that 2001 2002 the Senate was controlled by Democrats and that 2007 and 2008 both Houses were democrat?
And most of the damage happened between 2002 and 2007. You know that, right?

You wrote: Everything bad that happened wasn't their fault.
1) Was the dot.com bust GOP fault? It started under Clinton.
2) Was the recession that begin in July 2000 when President of CRX pointed out box car loadings were declining meaning manufacturing was declining.
3) Now surely it was GOP fault that the GoreLick Memo which prevented the FBI from learning about the 9/11 bombers were in the country from the CIA... yea that was
GOP fault because Gorelick didn't want CIA telling FBI that Chinese political donations to Clinton were in exchange for missile secrets...right all GOP fault.
4) And of course the worst hurricane seasons...not just hurricanes but SEASONS which killed 3,000, out of work 400,000 and cost trillions...ALL GOP fault!
5) And of course the 9/18/2008 withdrawal of $500 BILLION in less then 3 hours from money market funds... all at the direction of GOP investors right?

So did anything bad happen when they controlled the entire government?
And when the Bush administration tried to rein in Fannie/Freddie.. here is what the Democrat leaders of Congress said:

Many prominent Democrats, including House Finance Chairman Barney Frank, opposed any legislation correcting the risks posed by GSEs.
* House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D-MA) criticized the President's warning saying:
"these two entities - Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac - are not facing any kind of financial crisis .
The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms
of affordable housing."...
(Stephen Labaton, "New Agency Proposed To Oversee Freddie Mac And Fannie Mae," New York Times, 9/11/03)

* Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Chairman Christopher Dodd also ignored the President's warnings and called
on him to "immediately reconsider his ill-advised" position.

Eric Dash,"Fannie Mae's Offer To Help Ease Credit Squeeze Is Rejected, As Critics Complain Of Opportunism," NYT, 8/11/07)
Barney Frank s Fannie and Freddie Muddle - US News

Please explain these above FACTS???
Nobody blamed the hurricane on Bush, but they did blame the deaths that happened after because Bush and Brownie were too busy partying to help those stranded.

Probably the worst thing Bush did to actively try to kill people accidentally was pass out carcinogenic trailers to people who had already lost everything. What scum to do something like that. How do you defend such awful people without being awful yourself?

Email - Bush s Toxic Trailer Legacy - Sierra Club

Almost two years ago the Sierra Club dropped a bombshell when it revealed the results of tests we conducted on the air inside the trailers issued to victims of Hurricane Katrina by the notorious Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Our tests -- later corroborated by others -- found levels of carcinogenic formaldehyde that were between 5 and 50 more than acceptable levels. In addition to the long-term health risks posed by living in a steamy stew of carcinogens, victims living in the trailers were subject to immediate respiratory distress and other problems. Some may even have died as a result of their exposure to the toxic chemicals.

The air inside the trailers was so dangerous that FEMA warned its own employees about the danger of merely stepping inside to test the air -- much less spending months, if not years, living in one of these toxic tin cans.

----------------

And saying that the Clinton's gave missiles secrets for campaign donations???? Without a shred of evidence? They have a daughter here. They would never do that. You have slandered people without a shred of evidence which makes you a terrible liar. And the rest of your charges are just as easy to tear apart. Next time bring evidence. Only you won't because we both know you can't.

Why are these right wingers always like this? Is it in their DNA?

WOW... THIS is the BEST you have??? Trailers?? one person died. Trailers were purchased BEFORE Bush administration by Clinton!

Bush 2.0: 100 Ways Barack Obama
Is Just Like George W. Bush
The Humble Libertarian Bush 2.0 100 Ways Barack Obama Is Just Like George W. Bush




The election of President Obama was in no small part, a referendum on the administration of George W. Bush, and his victory was interpreted as a sound rebuke to eight years of open ended warfare, a vast and growing police state, the destruction of civil liberties, disregard for the Constitution, unchecked executive power, lies and broken promises, hypocrisy and arrogance, a lack of transparency in government, out-of-control federal spending, fever-pitch fearmongering, rampant corruption, and some really stupid gaffes. But what have we gotten instead?

More of the same. A LOT more of the same. In fact, every negative aspect of the Bush Administration has come back with a vengeance in the presidency of Barack H. Obama. Everything the American people detested so strongly about Bush has not only characterized the presidency of his successor, it's gotten much worse. Don't believe me? The following is a list of 100 ways President Obama is just like President Bush. We might as well consider it a third Bush term on steroids, or call Mr. Obama "Bush 2.0." If you honestly didn't like Bush, you can't possibly justify liking Obama, not unless you ignore the facts:

Open Ended Warfare

1-13

The Vast Police State

14-21

Disregard for the Constitution
and Unchecked Executive Power


22-32

"Even Obama's own defense secretary said that America faced no imminent threat from Libya. Here are Obama's own words on the matter back when he was a senator:

"The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation."

Lies and Broken Promises

33-43

Arrogance and Hypocrisy

44-57

Lack of Transparency

58-67

Out of Control Spending

68-75

Fear Mongering

76-82

Corruption

83-91

Really Stupid Gaffes

92-100

92. Bowing - In 2009, President Obama actually bowed to a foreign monarch, King Abdullah. After a few more bowing gaffes like bowing to Japanese Emperor Akihito, it started getting weird when Obama bowed to the mayor of Tampa:
mayor%2Bof%2Btampa.png



-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The upshot? Stop playing partisan politics. Both of the last two globalist elite presidents are essentially the same. They are having a good laugh at your expense.

BushObamaLaughingItUp
That's a post of bullshit after bullshit. God you guys are fucked up with your lies. Remember, Bush was recent history. We lived through it.
Start with the bowing:

That's Eisenhower.
Bush not only bowed to everyone, he lipsmacked number Arabs.

Are you just an idiot? Or is it your partisanship that keeps you from thinking clearly?

You didn't bother to even digest what I posted, did you? The point was, all politicians, but especially the last two administrations are equally bad. Who gives a shit?

As far as Bush kissing the Saudi Family? Hell, that's just it, FAMILY. He grew up with them. Or didn't you know because you are too stupid? I have no problem with Obama bowing to foreign dignitaries, but to a mayor? Really? I just think that is just weird. I'm sure she did too. Do you bow to YOUR mayor? lol

Dufus.
MISTERBEALE said: As far as Bush kissing the Saudi Family? Hell, that's just it, FAMILY.

So Bush is part of the Saudi Family? Is that why he let Bin Laden go?
 
When you look at GOP policies that were passed under the Bush regime, it seems the USMB Republicans live in a parallel world. Everything bad that happened wasn't their fault. So did anything bad happen when they controlled the entire government? If anything bad did happen, was it the result of anything the GOP did?

OK, say that all the damage that was caused was the fault of the Democrats. Was there really any damage? Were there successes? Still, the GOP was able to use reconciliation three times, what did they use it on and was that a success?

Was the GOP so ineffective that even though they controlled the entire government, they couldn't do anything? Does that mean the three times they used reconciliation nothing actually happened?

We need USMB right wingers to tell us what actually happened under Bush and GOP leadership that was good for the country and good for the world. Don't rag on Democrats. Tell us what Republicans did that was a success. Expect to be challenged.
You realize of course that 2001 2002 the Senate was controlled by Democrats and that 2007 and 2008 both Houses were democrat?
And most of the damage happened between 2002 and 2007. You know that, right?

I am once again going to remind you totally ignorant LIPs!
PLEASE TELL me you weren't around for these events because ONLY idiots would NOT confirm they happened and NONE of which was GOP/BUSH's fault!
BUT under Bush, events that totally ignorant LIPs like you forget that NO other President in history had to face in their terms!
