George Bush = Democrat!

[GHook93]

Many of the liberals on this board hate Bush, because they see him as a conservative war-monger Republican. However, besides social conservatism, Bush acts very much like a Democrat!
(1) He represents big spending, high taxations (the tax reduction bill was his failed attempted to save face) and big government --> which are all things associated with the Democrats.
(2) Preemptive Wars! Bush arrogantly and erroneously invaded Iraq. Look at the preemptive wars of the past: Spanish American, Korean War, Vietnam, invasion of the Phillippines and the bombing of Kosovo/Serbia (also toss in WWI & WWII) were all started with a Democrat at the helm. When Bush invaded Iraq he acted like a Democrat.
(3) Easy on illegal immigration! While in Texas he was easy on illegal immigration. Then in white house he supported the Kennedy/McCain bill. Being easy on illegal immigration is a Democratic attribute.

Bush has never been a fiscal conservative! His policies more closely represent a Democrat than a Republican (of course minus the social conservative aspect) and that is why he was a failure as a president!

Nice try but your compared notes do not tell the whole story.

Did the Democrats thumb thier nose at Congress when they went to war?

Did he use the taxes for social programs that would be useful to Americans living in this country?

Did he hug any trees lately?

Did any President at any time in history ever get really tuff on unlawful immigration form Mexico? Other then Davy Crockett? (who was not successful). Well, Davy was not a President but could have been one.

I suppose that's what happens when you try to be a "compassionate conservative".

YES - in Vietnam and Korea. The Giant Bush got more support from Congress on Iraq than JFK and LBJ did on Vietnam or Truman got on Korea, so who you crappen!

Did he use the taxes for social programs that would be useful to Americans living in this country?

Spending and pork Barrel projects grew 10 fold under the giant, so the answer is YES!

Did he hug any trees lately?

Yet he was not as bad as other Republican Presidents. McCain is much more of a tree hugger than Bush, yet McCain is much more of a fiscal conservative and hence more Republican than Bush.

Well, you might compare Bush with Kennedy, but not me.

You might compare pork barrel projects with federal programs for the poor, but I do not.

You might compare the war with Hilter with the war on Saddam, I do not.

Times have changed? Gee, I did not know that Obama was ever a President, or is he popular because change did not happen in the right way under Bush?

[GHook93]

I wasn't doing! Just like you won't compare Jimmey Carter with JFK or Bush with Reagan.

You might compare pork barrel projects with federal programs for the poor, but I do not.

Spending is spending! That is the difference. I haven't seen social programs spending go down in the Giant Bush's presidency.

You might compare the war with Hilter with the war on Saddam, I do not.

LOL, I was just stating the point that Democrats have gotten us into far more wars than Republicans. I believe some wars needed to be fought, such as the Civil War, WW II, The War of 1812, the Mexican American War and Afghanistan War. I am on the fence with WW I and Desert Storm (since we kicked a$$ so easily).

I compare Iraq to the 2 needless wars in Vietnam and Korea to which liberal Democrats started!

Times have changed?

I meant times have changed in which the borders need to be protected and illegal immigration needs to be addressed!

Gee, I did not know that Obama was ever a President,

Comrade Obama probably is the next president!

or is he popular because change did not happen in the right way under Bush?

He is popular because of the profession way he holds himself out,for his amazing speaking ability and for his enormous amount of charisma.

Democrats may have indeed been at the helm in each case, but I'd hardly call them pre-emptive (with the possible exception of the Spanish-American war, but that was blamed on what was thought to be an attack on the USS Maine, although in all probability it was an accident) Hostilities were already in progress in each case.

Only in Iraq did we pre-emptively attack a country that was technically at peace, that was not attacking anyone or threatening to attack anyone.

Vietnam, Korea, Spanish American, invasion of the Philippines, WW I (which all do respect we were arming German's enemies and the ship they sank was carrying arms - the Zimmerman Telegram was overblown propaganda) and Kosovo were all preemptive moves.

Is that most of American wars, some justified and some not, have been started by Democrats. War is most a Democratic attribute.

He is the most liberal President we've ever had...

Socially no. He pushed the ammendment to ban gay marriage.

On all counts, yes. The man attends Bohemian Grove and gets waited on by gay porn stars. His POLITICAL POSTURING should not be mistaken for legitimate political and/or social ideals.
