Pinesay, if you’re going to accuse the Democrats of anything, you don’t have to make your points completely ridiculous by opening up direct comparison to the weak points of the Republicans.
Nice going on getting into how disadvantaged the Republicans have been throughout the past three years of complete sweetheart wartime news coverage. The Bush administration has thrived from the complete lack of oversight from the fourth estate. Funny thing is that every time the GOPsters start whining about the “liberal media,” they’ve usually been caught with their hand in the cookie jar again.
With regards to Bush “showing leadership” I love that you used that phrase much beloved by his administration. The Americans have had enough of “showing” and would like a bit of actual leadership – perhaps a guy who doesn’t have the deficit-spending habits of a crack whore, perhaps somebody who can hold back for one minute before awarding massive no-bid contracts to his cronies, maybe even somebody who can put the practical needs of the United States above neoconman ideology for just 5 minutes. The buck has to stop somewhere, but despite having the White House and both houses of Congress, the Republibots just don’t understand responsibility and accountability.
As a “war” president, Bush has really been one for the record books. It’s been a while since the last time a country has used 150,000 troops to invade the wrong damn place. Whoops! He’s a regular Napoleon. In past wars, there has always been some profiteering going on, but it’s effin’ hilarious that the veep is still taking paychecks from Halliburton, whose’s Brown & Root subsidiary gets to supply the troops. These jokers can’t even ensure they got adequate food, water, ceramic armor plates, etc. – and Bush couldn’t even give a crap about taking care of the men aside for dishing up a little turkey at Thanksgiving. Instead, Bush has kept himself busy cutting veteran benefits and sitting on his ass while National Guard and Reserve paychecks don’t make it to the people bearing the brunt of the war effort.
Bush couldn’t even face the 9/11 Commission alone, but then that’s consistent with his “absent at the wheel” presidential style and his past history as a coward. On the contrary, Democrats have no fear when Kerry speaks – he’s not a fireball, but he’s also not the sort of complete mumbling, fumbling jackass we’ve currently got in the White House. Bush sees the world in black and white, but then so do my dogs.
As a historical note, the United States was dragged kicking and screaming into World War II by the Japanese blowing up Pearl Harbor and the Germans immediately declaring war on us. We declared war back on them, but it really had no relevance as to whether we were safer or not. In case you were not aware (and since you have an obviously weak grasp of facts), we were a late entrant to that war. I don’t see how citing to World War II will help support how the United States should unilaterally jump into a global, open-ended war on terror by invading Iraq, a country with no relationship to terror attacks upon the U.S., but I guess that’s part of the ol’ razzle dazzle Bush will have to use to distract attention from his mess of a presidency.
