I had to spank that ass a few times on the way.



I hope it was a female, otherwise that would be wrong :P



Oh but Phillykev, you've argued very strongly in favor of alternative lifestyles. Why would it be wrong? I should be able to marry that ass if I wanted to. B|:D:D;):P

Leave out the war on terror and Iraq issues or anything to do with that whole topic. Has he accomplished ANYTHING else?

I'm legitimately interested if there are any issues that anyone feels he has done a good job with. I can think of several things he has done, but I don't agree with them politically. Wondering what people see as his accomplishments in 3 1/2 years that make him worthy of re-election.




1. Signed No Child Left behind into law
2. 2005 Budget increases spending on Elementary and Secondary education by 49% over 2001.
3. Supported school choice for DC
4. Increased Pell Grant Funding by 47%
5. Signed Farm Bill
6. Signed Healthy Forest Initiative.
7. GDP grew by more than 5% over last 3 quarters. Fastest rate in 2 decades.
8. Low inflation
9. Low interest rates.
10. Highest percentage of home ownership ever.

I'm home sick today, can post more later.

You do realize 5 of those first 6 are democratic platforms?



So you are admitting Bush tries to be bi-partisan? This is quite an admission. :D



Yep....he's good at increasing spending (a democratic trait), only problem is, he has no clue how to fund it. And oddly enough, most of his left sided policies are the ones I don't agree with. I'm personally pretty split between left and right on different issues, and Bush seems to be split in exactly the opposite way.

I'm a social liberal and fiscally conservative, he seems to be the exact opposite.

Hey! Cool quote! And very open arms to different faiths.



Thanks! It's "open arms" in the sense that all are welcomed by Jesus. However, it's not a generalization. The first part might be considered a general description of all faiths. The second part, however, is only inclusive of those seeing Jesus as "the way, the truth, and the life." :)

Bush crime family? That's a new one for me. What sort of perverted logic are you prepared to back that one up with?:)
For a REAL look at crime families, check out Colombo and Genovese and UNIONS (who is it unions endorse? what party do they loan their staffs out to during elections?)

Just to prove how ridiculous your comments are and how deep your biases run, here are some things that I've posted about that I support....

I'm pro gun ownership
Stronger immigration controls
Partial privitization of social security
State's rights
Tort reform/Fair settlements act
Reduced spending AND reduced taxes (but don't reduce taxes before reducing spending and build up a huge debt)

Once again....your bias is showing. I have defended a couple of Bush's actions and policies in these forums. You only see what you want to see and blindly smear anyone that doesn't march to the same band as you. All the while screaming about the sheep and people who can't think for themselves while you spout the opinons of Rush Limbaugh verbatim and claim them as your own.

And what other democrats have I blindly defended? I've voted for more republicans than democrats in almost every election since I turned 18. I've even worked for a couple of republican campaigns. Step back and see that you are what you accuse everyone else of being.

My goodness... there really are people out there that will find any reason to support the Bush Crime Family, huh?



My goodness, there really are people out there who will sling epithets childishly and still insist that they are part of rational political discourse, huh?

Question: Does military spending and aid contracts count in these GDP numbers? If so, the increased military spending due to Iraq and the rebuilding contracts to US firms would probably count for a lot of the increase - i.e. the growth is driven by government spending?

Another Question re. the economic record. How do the last 4 years compare to 1993 - 2000 in regard to GDP growth, unemployment, and budget deficit? I have not seen any comparison - would be interesting.

Now that's just silly. Everyone knows that the 8 years Clinton was in office had nothing to do with the good economy, but the recession a year later was. And on the same hand, the 3 years Bush has in office are responsible for the booming economic recovery that we're having now. The president is only responsible for the economy when it's bad, he's no longer in office, and he's a democrat, or if it's not as bad, has had no time for his policies to have any effect, and is republican.

:S

- got us out of the Clinton/Gore recession

He did? News to me. YES he did

- great first tax cut

Which was accompanied by increased military spending (due to an unnecessary war) and resulted in the biggest budget deficit in history --No, because of the cuts during the Clinton Admin

- got rid of the atrocious executive order giving unionized companies unfair advantages in bidding for certain contracts

And gave them instead to Halliburton? --I love the conspiracy theorists!

- told the Kyoto idiots to go fuck themselves

Kyoto? Hell this administration has told the whole WORLD to go fuck themselves.-- We should!!The Us gives more money to other countries than anybody else! We save countries and when they are stabel we get out and then they bite the hand that feeds them!!!!

- modified draconian EPA standards so power plants could modernize sans bankruptcy

OK this one I agree with.--We agree here

OK, that's ONE marginally good thing in 4 years.

Stellar record there.
