You don’t remember sh*t.

Also I seem to remember that “Raising taxes will ruin the economy” was your excuse in the middle of Bush’s horrible deficit recession which may or may not be gone for good.

Get it through your skull–Bush has lost the confidence of the people on this war and on his ability to even broker a reasonable end to it. If he comes up with a strategy that isn’t simply “more troops to Iraq equals Victory!” then maybe he can win that confidence back.

Notice the not-so-subtle attempt to paint taxes as a penalty on “achievers.” What a load. Wingers are so freaking dishonest about everything. We live in a society crumbling under the weight of a minuscule percentage of the population who have accrued such extraordinary wealth that they are able to bend and even break the system to their own ends. That’s capitalism run amok for you, thanks to the “no limits (read:taxes) on achievers” crowd. By that definition, Paris Hilton is an “achiever.”

And clearly Bushco is not yet a dictatorship, but that’s only thanks to 230 years of precedent, not some deep moral commitment to the rule of law and the Constitution. Bush doesn’t get credit because his predecessors had the foresight to put constraints on the government, controls this administration has worked tirelessly to shred within the fictitious WOT framework.

And I betcha with the economy rolling, there will be no roll back of the Bush tax cuts. Not a single viable Dem candidate will, in the final shakedown, sign up to that. Like iraq, progressives are doomed for disappointment on this.

But please doubt me and encourage your candidate to run on the “We politicians want to take home more of your hard earned wages” platform.

Of course we are going to see a rollback of tax cuts when the Dems take the WH. we’ve had 6+ years of fiscal fistfucking going on that now we have to clean up after.

But never mind. I’m sure this is just what you call “Bush Hate.” And yes, Stalin and Saddam were worse.

Oh, I agree. Was just trying to reconcile that with your claim about his cheapness.

And actually Bush spends nothing not authorized by the former Repub and now Democratic Congress. And as bad as Bush is with spending. Take a Democratic Congres with a Democratic presdients with all sorts of notions baout penalizing achievers and rolling back the tax cuts, well then you’ll see real spending.

If it was a real ‘thought’, who told it to you?

And of course he’s a big spender. That’s not his money he’s spending. It’s yours and mine.

Hmmm. Bush is a big spender on just about everything and Iraq is ‘cheap and easy’. Yeap. Good analysis Spidy.

Again. Perspective you yahoos! Stalin was a dictator. Hitler was a dictator. Castro is a dictator. Sort it out. Is it any wonder Democrats are disatrous at foreign policy. Maybe Patty Murray needs to send you all to some of those daycare schools AQ has been building. OR maybe you can go to Murtha’s Iraq support base - in Indo-frappin-nesia for Gods sake.

Not that he is, mind you. Not that he’d even like to be declared one. But his actions since 2000 tend to make me think this was more than just an offhand joke.

Throughout his business and political career he’s been fixated on cheap and easy solutions to difficult problems, so it wouldn’t surprise me that the best solution in his mind to dealing with the complicated nuances required of a world leader would be if everybody would just Shut Up and Do What He Says.

Frankly it’s amazing that you admitted he’s a bad president.
