Do unto others...?Originally Posted by soonerscuba
Shocking, you blame the Dems for Bush's god-awful mess of an administration.
Reagan and Clinton couldn't follow Rule #1 and look how that turned out.

Yes, Clinton worked well with the GOP and were able to balance the budget. I think they both worked off of each other and managed to have us in a good place financially and economically.
Not sure about Reagan. I was a little young to understand those times. I only hear each side's view of him.
Not to say that the Democrats that are in there are helping matters. Because they clearly aren't, but I would say Washington as a whole right now is failing all of us, not just one party or another.
Madness is like gravity.....all you need is a little push.
Reagan had a Senate majority for a bit, and faced a House opposition for his entire time in office. He was able to use his personal popularity to court sympathetic Dems into voting for particular legislation. He was good at it, and didn't think of Dems as an enemy. Despite of what I might personally think of Reagan's policies or of the man, I can objectively see that he accomplished things by reaching across the aisle. Something Bush has almost no penchant whatsoever for doing.

No.
And honestly, if you feel Bush was a good President, I think that you have.
I just hope McCain can pull this one out.

See, that's what you don't get. SOME people can be free thinkers and not let their party affiliation get in the way of their Patriotism, their intellectual honesty and their opinions.
If I was a Dem, which I'm not, my opinion of Bush would be the exact same.
LORD. That's just IDIOTIC.
Yeah. Poor Bush. He "tried to work with the Liberal Democrats in Congress." He should have had them all lined up and shot for being un-American.

Oh I ain't calling him "good" necessarily, I'm just saying he's not anywhere near as "tragic" and "awful" and "taint sucking" as you lefties try to paint him. Listening to many of you guys kinda feels like everything - from 9/11 to Iraq to Afghanistan to Iran to gas prices to the bailout to global warming are all his fault. Alone. Individually. All by hisself he took this country and put it in the ****ter.
This is wrong on EVERY level, and completely unfair.
But it's hard to blame you guys cause it's all we hear when we turn on the tube or pick up a magazine or newspaper.
it's this type of nonsense that will have you bowing to your Imperial Chinese Overlords within 20 years.

Probably because there's some truth to it.
And don't call me a "leftie" just because you're so terribly far out to the right. I'm a centrist. A moderate. Left of you? Yes. Lefty? Hardly.

A moderate's just a lefty who doesn't have the balls to say so.

But that way of thinking is exactly one of the main reasons that the Republican Party brand is struggling so much right now.

Why do you hate Lee Atwater?
Atheist.
I buy 85sooner's disdain for Busy trying to pal around with Teddy right off the bat....and then getting bitten in the butt. It happened. There is no compromise with today's brand of Democrat. And McCain will lose for trying the same tact. Saying he's putting Demo's on his cabinet...there goes the base.

If that doesn't cure the grouchies, I don't know what will.

Yikes.
Keep tellin' yourself that, Grandpa.
You're WAAAY out to the right. And you know it.
