Yes drmiler It is the attitude they you admit that gave us George W. It is the same attitude that gave us the Iraq War, the deficit, high gas prices, lack of jobs etc. I guess we can not put all the blame on George W. We need to save some for the people who blindly follow him. America has now watched three debates and the score is Kerrry 3 and Bush 0. Time for George to return to Texas.
Gen Franks told Bush it took 300,000-400,000 troops and Bush did not take the advice of the top general planning the War. The inability to control the terrorism in Iraq is because of the choice Bush made and no one else. The Buck Stops at Bush!
drmiler The facts are not from me but from the sources I listed. I guess you do not believe them as well. It is your attitude that inables the spin doctors to run this country!
No matter what Bush used, he could not provide good answers to the questions asked of him. He has been in the White House almost 4 years. He must be a slow lerner.
drmiler Every section on my book states the source. The information is correct. Some of the more important references I used are: OMB (Office of Management and Budget) CBO (Congressional Budget5 Office) Dept of the Treasury, bureau of public debt Hoover Institute Brookings Institute The Army War College Former Tres Sec O'Neil and the Current Fed Chairman Former Army CoS an
drmiler Please re-read my Blog. Senator Kerry can propose all the new spending he wants, if elected. The President CAN NOT PASS LAWS! Kerry will not get ANY new spending programs in place without both houses of Congress passing the laws. That is the SPIN BUSH uses. I guess both you and President Bush need a short course on how laws are passed under our Federal System of government!
Tax cuts to people who need them and will spend the added money is very different from tax cuts to those thast do not need than and will not spend most of the added money. Tax cuts financed by borrowing it NUTS! The CBO estimates $270 Billion of the current deficit is due to the tax cuts.
Reply to cartoon by apdelong31 GREAT Cartoon!!!!!!!! That fits Bush to a Tee!
I will try and not disappoint some of those who disagree with me i.e. drmiler Spin is KING - Both sides use it and I will give a few used by Bush and allow drmiler et al to give you some from Kerry Bush tells us Kerry will increase your taxes (on the middle income Americans- he has stated he wants to increase the tax rates on the wealthiest 2 %)
drmiler I have documented every fact I have used in my Blogs in my book. You are the one that claims these facts are "anti-bush". Thus it is you not me that is anti-bush. If you favor killing our young American men and women in a war that did not have to be and that is not making us more safe - vote Bush. If you want millions of new workers to roam the streets without a job - vote Bush. If you want to go dee
To judge if a leader is leading in the right direction, you must look at the impact they have on the people they lead. Hitler destroyed the German nation and people. I agree, George W. is nothing like Hitler etc. He however, has only helped a small segment of the American People. In his first speech after taking office he said he was President of ALL the American People. His problem, is that what he wants and has put into place is not helping the vas
Donna G The attitude of George W. is " My way only" That is the way he deals with congress, the Democrats, Moderates and the Left. It is the way he delt with the U N and any country that would not support the war in Iraq. The four countries that did supply some small help to Bush in Iraq all went aginst the wishes of the vast majority of their own people. The Britts, Polls, Itallians and Spanish people all did not support the War. Bush g
Righ, Left and moderate are entitled to their opinions. The problen with Bush and the right in control of Congress, is that we only have the right getting their way. We need a balance which will not happen unless the Democrats take control of either the White House or at least one house of congress. Bush has not done the job so the best way to achieve the balance is by replacing him with Kerry.
voiceofdissent Sorry, I do not get your comment.
When the voter during the second debate asked President Bush to name three mistakes he made as president, George W. displayed one of his greatest short commings - his inability to recognize flaws in himself, even when they are obvious. In the 2000 presidential campaign, George W. pledged to restore more civility to American politics. Surely one of the mista
No Drmiler - If Bush is reelected we will pay in more ways than you could guess. He has done very little of any real worth from the days of his DWI's to the Iraq War. Without his daddy and the power of the Bush name( earned by 41 not 43), George W. is a very small man. javascript:editor_insertHTML('message',' ') javascript:editor_insertHTML('message','<img src="../images/smiles/even
God - lets hope 43 is a one term president. It will take years to overcome his mistakes!
Baker Street You ask a good question. How did George W. get into Yale? Even better, how does one get into Harvard Grad School with a "C" Average? I have been in contact with George's old Prof from Harvard (Econ) and he said George W. was a POOR student and had ideas that made no sense. How did he become an Officer in the Air Guard? Daddy!!! How did George W. get into his two oil companies? Not only did he not succeed but the issue of
George W. does not care about the debt or the price of oil unless it creates problems for the wealthy of America. My book, Four More For George W? looks at the Bush policies, tracks their impact and predicts what will happen if they continue. Bush would have us believe the deficit is because of 9/11 and the recent corporate problems. The truth is that in 1980 the debt was $909 Billion. When Reagan left office it was about $4 Trillion. When
I wonder if there could have been a mix up at the hospitol when George W. was born. If someone looks at a comparisson of George H. W. and George W. they would find almost no similarity between the two, except for the name. Bush 41 was a real American patriot during World War II and Bush 43 got out of defending his country by using his father's help to get in the Tex
I am not trying to insult anyone and I am not from the left. I have been a moderate Republican for over 40 years and was a member of the Republican Committee in PA in the mid 70's. It is the GOP that has changed. Prior to 1980, the GOP was dedicated to a fiscal and economic policy that was responsible. The GOP leadership was captured by the VooDoo supply side economic supporters. Like George W. the leadership of the GOP is not looking at reality nor
Reply to drmiler I have been on the road and have been reading some of the replies. First, I am trying to have people read my book to make people think about what is at risk in this election. I do not know if you have taken the time to read my book but the factual material as well as the expert opinions are clearly documented so that anyone who in truly interested in the facts can verrify the information or go further. The issues
Sandy 2 The things you say you want will never come about with Bush I spent a lot of time researching the policies we have been following under Bush . I took that info and combined it with my experience as a business executive and retired Army Colonel to write my book. I also included the thinking of many experts and site about 30 world noted sources. I cover 10 policy areas and at the end of my book, I ask the reader 15 questions to help th
You can confuse the issue with the mechaics of how the Fed calculates the unemployment rate . I never claimed I was a expert. I have done a lot of research and do know that the economic policies of Bush have not produced the jobs required to keep up with our population growth. That was not the case during the 1990's. I have researched the deficit and the impact of the economic policy we are following which is the same policy that created alm
Knowing you are headed off a cliff is not where I want to be. We are not safer, the economy is not getting better for the majority of Americans and the fiscal situation with the deficit is off the scale. We have the conservatives who represent 30% of Americans calling the shots for 100% of us. That is not good for this country and I hope either Kerry wins or one house of congress goes to the Democrats. I do not want to see the White House and congres
