You and some others on JoeUser are so unable to admit the truth; you lash out at anyone and anything that does not agree with you preconceived ideas no matter how far they are from reality. My Blog Site is to present the truth about Bush and every day brings issues and facts to the surface that shows just how poor a leader Bush has been for our country! The harm Bush has done will continue to come to light and the next President will be stuck cleaning up the mess he will leave.

It is sad you think Iraq is useless.

You are the most stupid person I have ever met online. Not once did I say that Iraq is useless, it is you who thinks they are worthless that you are willing to remove our soldiers from Iraq and leave the Iraqis to survive on their own. I recommend you avoid putting words in my mouth that I never said.

My Blog Site is to present the truth about Bush and every day brings issues and facts to the surface that shows just how poor a leader Bush has been for our country

Col, your blog site is pure propganda.  You have been proven wrong countless times and you still can't accept that fact.

You and others have said that without disproving ANYTHING I HAVE SAID. YOU ignore ALL the Facts and sources I sight if the show King George to be wrong!

You have been PROVEN wrong by many people from Brad on down, countless times. You just "refuse" to own up to it. Face it, you are a worthless turd in the cesspool of life.

Iraq- 3,000 dead, 22,000 injured and 1/2 Trillion Dollars to create MORE enemies and make us LESS safe at home.

Tell me of a war that did not have dead people involved. The fact that we have such low numbers of dead is more than amazing.

Deficit - $3 Trillion more on the National Debt with more to come.

In every national crisis there is a spike in the national debit. Please show me a time when this was not the case.

Discord - At Home and thought the world there is more rancor and hate since Bush took over then in many decades.

Yeah, the same has been said of every President since Mr. Wilson.

Energy - We are more dependent on foreign oil, energy is more expensive for ALL of us and we do not have a policy in place to change this picture.

So is the rest of the world, well most of the world and it is due to prosperity. The more prosperous the nation becomes the more it will consume, look at China, India, and South Korea all major consumers of energy because they are growing. Would you prefer we go into economic decline?

Social Security - Another six years have gone by and we move closer to the issue of HOW to pay for the Baby Boomer Retirement. The Bush plan would have made that worse.

Since the Clinton administration predicted that ss would go broke in 2005 and it has not would tend to suggest that the Bush plan is working to save ss not hurt it.

Health - 2 million more Americans have no health care and we have NO plan to deal with this issue.

Why is it the governments responsibility to provide health care? It has not been in the past how is it that Mr. Bush has to take care of that problem?

Trade - The trade deficit has more then DOUBLED under Bush. He expanded a policy that failed under Clinton and he will not act to stop China from abusing property rights and currency manipulation.

True but some concessions have to be made to get China on our side in other things. We can always make up the trade loss somewhere else when we have to. The war on terror and the little problem in North Korea need to be handled in a way that works.

Military - His inaction to increase the size of our military for 6 years, even though he said it was TOO small in 2000, has caused serious harm to both Active ands Reserve forces.

I disbelieve this is a harm to the military. Inconvenient and ill advised yes, but not harmful yet. It will slow us down in our war on terror if we choose to attack Iran. Remember that all congress needs to do is increase the limit on the military and we can be up and running in 18 months or less.

Environment - He has dismantled regulations to protect the environment and ignores global warming which is taking place.

Not true, Mr. Bush acknowledges global warming but does not believe that man is the cause for it. Since no serious scientist has come out and stated that man is the cause for global warming what do you want him to do? Just remember that the UN just recanted their theory that man was a contributing factor in global warming and that cow farts were the biggest problem. So it looks like the President was correct on this round.

Performance of his appointees - He has appointed people with no experience that have failed to do their jobs which has harmed many Americans and wasted our tax dollars.

Yeah? Name them. Don't give me the Katrina junk because that is mostly politics that is out of the presidents hands. Money has been given to the states to do with as they see fit and only one state is having trouble. With more than 50% of the first batch of money still unspent it is not the Federal Governmetns falt that the locals have not spent it.

Spending - He is totally irresponsible. He got the largest NEW entitlement passed (Part D) WITH NO WAY TO PAY FOR THE ADDED COST! He and the GOP spend more then they tax and create a deficit EVERY year he was in office. He will leave office with a fiscal situation in shambles that will be left for the next President to face.

Right, and just like in every war time situation this nation has faced we are in the hole. And you are supprised by this? Your cheif complaint above was he was doing nothing for health care and now you complain that he is busting the budget on health care.

Education – Passed a new policy and then failed to provide the money to try and make it work.

Please tell me what extra money do you need to ensure that the students learn? All that is required is that teachers teach and students learn basics, if not then the money needs to be spend somewhere else cause the local governmetns that you state pay the bulk of the school funding not doing the job.

Border and ports – Over 5 years after 9/11 we have not protected our borders or our ports. WHY? Bush did not request the manpower HE SAID WAS REQUIRED to enforce border security. WHY?

Yet we somehow are able to stop the terrorist from coming into the nation and harm us. Why, how? We have only so much money to spend. wasting it on Homeland Security Department, and TSA which the Democrats demanded be done took that money away from where it was needed.

These are the major things I know Bush has done that will cause HARM to All of us in the future.

Not bad, most of the things you list are not under the control of the President.

Now Woodward has released interviews with President Ford where he said he did not agree with invading Iraq. I love it.

You shold learn to read. Mr. Ford said he did not agree with the reason of WMD for going to war. He supported the war and felt it was needed but Saddams support of terrorist was a better reason though it would not carry far with the UN.

What other nations think of us is VERY important given the need to have cooperation by other countries to deal with terrorism. A poll yesterday said Bush is the GREATEST evil in the world today.

Yeah right, that same poll put the President as the greatest hero of the year as well. Nice of you to miss that part.

You have not DEBUNKED ANY of the issues I have made.

What is the point? I debunked them and you respond with repeating what you said. Others debunk what you write and you respond by repeating what you stated before. I showed you a copy of the 2000 Federal Budget written by President Clinton which debunked your myth of a balanced budget and you don't even say you were wrong and then you come out with this stuff that is an open faced lie on the budget. Why should people attempt to debunk you again and again when you ignore facts and embrace lies?

You and some others on JoeUser are so unable to admit the truth; you lash out at anyone and anything that does not agree with you preconceived ideas no matter how far they are from reality.

When people pull up facts written by Democrats that make your statements look stupid and you cling to them anyway it is not us that has a problem with reality, or preconceived ideas.

My Blog Site is to present the truth about Bush and every day brings issues and facts to the surface that shows just how poor a leader Bush has been for our country!

If that was true then you are doing a piss poor job of it. Most people here left or right will admit when they are wrong yet you have failed to do so on almost every occasion where you have been proven wrong. You change the subject and move on.

This is the problem with Iraq: "to create MORE enemies and make us LESS safe at home." You do NOT go to war to achieve this result!

Not Correct:"In every national crisis there is a spike in the national debit. Please show me a time when this was not the case." In EVERY OTHER WAR we funded the war with increased taxes. We had WWI, WWI, Korea and Vietnam and in 1980 we had less then $1 Trillion in Debt. After Reagan and Bush we have almost $9 Trillion.

Better take another look: "He has dismantled regulations to protect the environment”

What has China done to offset the trade deficit in OTHER THINGS? "True but some concessions have to be made to get China on our side in other things” In addition it is not JUST China. The entire so called "FREE TRADE" has failed for the past 14 years. When do you think Bush will understand the current policy is not working?


"Please tell me what extra money do you need to ensure that the students learn?" Bush provided the Funding Requirements for No Child Left Behind. He then did not ask Congress for that same money HE SAID WAS NEEDED?


"Yet we somehow are able to stop the terrorist from coming into the nation and harm us. Why, how? We have only so much money to spend. Wasting it on Homeland Security Department, and TSA which the Democrats demanded be done took that money away from where it was needed." You are the first person I have heard claim the money we spend to protect our country is WASTED! Any of the millions of people that come across our border could be bringing a disaster WORSE then 9/11 with them. Every undisputed container could house a DISASTER.


"Not bad, most of the things you list are not under the control of the President.” WRONG!!!!! Protection of the country is the Presidents FIRST RESPONSIBILITY! Enforcement of our laws is the responsibility of the Executive Branch and the President is the head of that branch. The fiscal policy is BUSH. The Iraq War is because of Bush. Bush did not request the funding for his education policy or the added guards HE SAID were needed to secure the border. Bush did not request the added troop levels for the military. Those are just for starters.

"Yeah right, that same poll put the President as the greatest hero of the year as well. Nice of you to miss that part." Yes 13% felt that way. The old saying that "10% Never get the word". In this case it was 13%.


"showed you a copy of the 2000 Federal Budget written by President Clinton which debunked your myth of a balanced budget " I do not know what Clinton Budget you are talking about but at the END of FY 2000, not the budget but ACTUAL RESULTS" we hade a balanced budget without first subtracting the Surplus from Social Security and Medicare. Again AQCTUAL results at the END of FY 2001 showed that Bush had turned the annual budget from Balanced to deficit and has a deficit EVERY de was in Office. He also HIDES about $200 Billion of the actual deficit by subtracting the Social Security and Medicare surplus. For example in FY 2005 Bush reported an Annual Deficit for 2005 of $420 Billion. The actual increase in the National Debt was $620 Billion.


"When people pull up facts written by Democrats” The facts I use are not from individuals but from the agencies of the Fed responsible for there functions. I do not know what statements you are talking about but since my information is directly from the Federal Government, I am not interested in what ANY Politian said. Both parties lie and distort the truth.


"If that was true then you are doing a piss poor job of it. Most people here left or right will admit when they are wrong yet you have failed to do so on almost every occasion where you have been proven wrong." You have NEVER proven the facts I have used and my book fully documents what I have said. It is just pure BS when you say you have proven me WRONG. To do that you would also have to prove WRONG all the Federal Agencies and experts I use to as WRONG and you have not and can not do that!

"Not bad, most of the things you list are not under the control of the President.” WRONG!!!!! Protection of the country is the Presidents FIRST RESPONSIBILITY! Enforcement of our laws is the responsibility of the Executive Branch and the President is the head of that branch

WRONG!!! The first place it falls is on the "judicial branch". Why don't you learn how your government works! So start complaining about the correct people.

This is the problem with Iraq: "to create MORE enemies and make us LESS safe at home." You do NOT go to war to achieve this result!

The result was that even Iran backed us in the war, we had them scared spitless, then we wavered and showed weakness and they see weakness as somethng to be destroyed.

In EVERY OTHER WAR we funded the war with increased taxes. We had WWI, WWI, Korea and Vietnam and in 1980 we had less then $1 Trillion in Debt. After Reagan and Bush we have almost $9 Trillion.

WWI war bonds were sold to pay for the war, the same with WWII, Korea was a UN mess we never got paid back for. Vietnam caused massive inflation and resession, because we were so far in debt that it was not until President G. H. Bush did we finally pay that off. The reason the debt was so low was because they took the social security money to pay for the war. You admit that we were 9 trillion in debt because of the build up against the Soviet Union. Good. Now explain where the debit went? Back then they said the debit was so high that our grandchildren would still be paying it off. But for some magical reason the debit is gone and we are at war and now you are complaining about a 2.3 trillion dollar budget and a deficit of a few hundred billion.

It looks like you just defeated your argument with your own data.

Better take another look: "He has dismantled regulations to protect the environment”

please tell me which regulations he dismantled.

The entire so called "FREE TRADE" has failed for the past 14 years. When do you think Bush will understand the current policy is not working?

Yes, I agree it has been and is a failure trade wise. while it has helped us as leverage to help us with North Korea and the war on terror. I think he knows it is not working but since you have the Democrats all for it and few people want to change it he has to live with it.

Bush provided the Funding Requirements for No Child Left Behind. He then did not ask Congress for that same money HE SAID WAS NEEDED?

Ok, but you said that the bulk of the money comes from local government. All the No Child Left Behind Act does is require that the students be able to pass tests at certain grade levels. How the Locals do it is their business for the most part. The ones that don't wish to teach cheat by teaching the test to the students, which is contrary to the Act.

You are the first person I have heard claim the money we spend to protect our country is WASTED!

I can understand this statement you dont' pay attention to anyone so you would not have heard it. Mr. Bush was against the TSA, which is a waste of time and money. Not one of the terrorist got on board a plane with a banned item. Instead of closing the gap they got rid of people that were doing their jobs well for a bunch of rookies that have to learn how to do what we had experts doing. I know because at one time I had to supervise those people and we did not have as many failures as we have today because we have new people doing the work.

Any of the millions of people that come across our border could be bringing a disaster WORSE then 9/11 with them.

True but we are doing the best we can with what little we have. Should we take money away from other important things? How about the elimination of the National Endowment of the Arts? That alone would add a few hundred agents to the Border Patrol.

Every undisputed container could house a DISASTER.

So when Dubi ports world was to take over management of those ports and as a condition would inspect the containers I guess it was a bad thing that Congress forced that deal into the toilet?

Enforcement of our laws is the responsibility of the Executive Branch and the President is the head of that branch.

Yes, it is. What laws did he impeed?

The fiscal policy is BUSH.

True and you have been debunked on that, next!

The Iraq War is because of Bush.

In a way you are correct, but in truth the Iraq war is the fault of the UN. Had Iraq kept its word and followed the resoultions we would not have had to go into Iraq.

Bush did not request the funding for his education policy or the added guards HE SAID were needed to secure the border.

And as stated before the Act requires that students pass standarized tests for that grade level to prove they are able to handle the next level. You know like we had to do as kids some 30 years ago before educators became too smaart to teach.

Show me a terrorist attack from AQ that happened since 9/11 on US soil. It is already accepted that there have been hundreds of attempts but no success for them means that we have eliminated 100% of the attacks. Or are you suggesting that the enemy attacked us and we are keeping it quiet?

Yes 13% felt that way. The old saying that "10% Never get the word". In this case it was 13%.

Let me see if I get this right. The highest percentage is 13% and that is not good enough for you? A win is a win and if that is the highest percentage then out of 100% 13% went for Mr. Bush and the next highest percentage is 3% which covered the rest of the spectrum. What I get from this is no matter what Mr. Bush is bad and even when he wins he should lose because he is Mr. Bush.

Again AQCTUAL results at the END of FY 2001 showed that Bush had turned the annual budget from Balanced to deficit and has a deficit EVERY de was in Office.

Oh, well that is different. You are claiming a projection that has never been close to being right and then compare it to actual events. I can understand why you do this because it makes fantasy land look so good. You take a 10 year projection and complain it was all Mr. Bush's falut when we were attacked on 9/11 the recession that Mr. Bush said was coming only came faster because of the attack. Then we had to create a new intelligence agency, plus the TSA and the Department of Homeland Security. I guess none of that had any impact on the actual figures. In 1999 we had a "projected" surplus of 10 trillion dollars and congress could not wait to spend it in 2000. The hawks wanted to beef up security and the militray the liberals wanted to spend it all on social programs but only a few wanted to put that money to social security. The term "Lock Box" showed up around then because each side wanted to spend money that had not come in yet and still had not fixed social security. Then when it was "discovered" that social security was going broke, something that everyone knew since 1968, now used it as an election issure.

He also HIDES about $200 Billion of the actual deficit by subtracting the Social Security and Medicare surplus. For example in FY 2005 Bush reported an Annual Deficit for 2005 of $420 Billion. The actual increase in the National Debt was $620 Billion.

This was debunked and explained to you by me more than three times and others have tried as well, you still won't admit your figures are wrong.

The facts I use are not from individuals but from the agencies of the Fed responsible for there functions. I do not know what statements you are talking about but since my information is directly from the Federal Government, I am not interested in what ANY Politian said. Both parties lie and distort the truth.

You refuse to see it. I understand, you can't handle the truth. The facts I speak of are from Mr. Clintons budget. Last time I looked he was a Democrat. Now you want to go from a projection in the Clinton administration to the actual results a year later. good move. It makes it look so simple that way. Fantasy has a way of doing that.

You have NEVER proven the facts I have used and my book fully documents what I have said. It is just pure BS when you say you have proven me WRONG. To do that you would also have to prove WRONG all the Federal Agencies and experts I use to as WRONG and you have not and can not do that!

Right, because fantasy is where you see these facts. Don't worry I hear thorazine is coming out with new flavors next year.

WRONG!!! The first place it falls is on the "judicial branch". Why don't you learn how your government works! So start complaining about the correct people.

Sorry but I have to be honest here, the Judicial branch interprets the laws the executive branch is responsible for enforcing the laws the legislative branch enacts.

WRONG! WRONG! The Courts interpret the laws. Enforcement is the responsibility of the Executive through the Attorney General who reports to the President!

Paladin 77

Since when do we do things that help Iran? What Bush did is enable Iraq to select a government like Iran who Bush tells us is the biggest threat we face.

The Treasury issues IOU's, which are the trust fund, for any money taken from Social Security. That has NOTHING to do with paying for the war.

The failure of the trade policy has done nothing to solve North Korea or the war on terror. Where do you come up with such BS!

If you believe we are doing the best we can to secure our Border you are NUTS. Bush said it would take anther 10,000 border Guards and did NOTHING to ask Congress to give his what he said was needed to protect the border. Use that BS when a terrorist group brings the next 9/11 into our country via the unprotected borders and ports.

You do not have the slightest ides of what you are talking about. Live in your dream world with Bush!

drmiler WRONG! WRONG! The Courts interpret the laws. Enforcement is the responsibility of the Executive through the Attorney General who reports to the President

How so? Does the AG impose the sentences? Or are they imposed by a member of the "judiciary"? IE: a judge. And for both you and Paladin, if you want to get "really" picky, the "law" is enforced by the "police" who are part of the judiciary system. Which is why they are refered to as "Officers of the court".

Since when do we do things that help Iran?

I don't know this is the first I have heard of it. Please explain what you are talking about.

What Bush did is enable Iraq to select a government like Iran who Bush tells us is the biggest threat we face.

It would be better if you studied the two systems you might if you open your eyes see a differenc.

The Treasury issues IOU's, which are the trust fund, for any money taken from Social Security. That has NOTHING to do with paying for the war.

The treasury can not touch SS money without a law being passed by the Congress. It has only happened twice to my knowledge 1966 and 1967.

The failure of the trade policy has done nothing to solve North Korea or the war on terror. Where do you come up with such BS!

I stated that it helped us with China to deal with North Korea. I get such BS from the NYT, CNN, and other right wing news media.

If you believe we are doing the best we can to secure our Border you are NUTS.

You sir, are dishonest. I said that we are doing the best we can with what we have.

Bush said it would take anther 10,000 border Guards and did NOTHING to ask Congress to give his what he said was needed to protect the border.

So you blame the President because he did not get what he asked for? The budget is approved by the Congress not the President. Congress adds things in and takes things out all the time during the budget process. But according to you all the blame falls on the president. Nice blinders you have, do they come in other colours besides rose?

Use that BS when a terrorist group brings the next 9/11 into our country via the unprotected borders and ports.

Oh, are you suggesting we continue with the wire taps, and the e-mail reading? You know the stuff that has worked in bringing down terrorist.

You do not have the slightest ides of what you are talking about. Live in your dream world with Bush!

Sorry but as a consultant to an agency under home land security I think I can see the picture a little better than you. Yup, they just hired me last month.

How so? Does the AG impose the sentences? Or are they imposed by a member of the "judiciary"? IE: a judge. And for both you and Paladin, if you want to get "really" picky, the "law" is enforced by the "police" who are part of the judiciary system. Which is why they are refered to as "Officers of the court".

My friend,

The AG works for the executive branch, appointed by the president with the advice and concent of the legislative branch. They are responsible for enforcing the laws. The Judicial branch are the judges from the suprieme court down. The police come under the executive branch of government.

My friend, The AG works for the executive branch, appointed by the president with the advice and consent of the legislative branch. They are responsible for enforcing the laws. The Judicial branch are the judges from the supreme court down. The police come under the executive branch of government.

Sorry sir, but I think you're wrong! From Wikipedia:

[edit] Work as a police officer A Police Constable of West Yorkshire Police on patrol police officer (also known as a constable in some countries) is employed in most cases by national, state/provincial or municipal governments and has the responsibility (or duty) of enforcing federal, state/provincial laws along with municipal/city ordinances. They also have the responsibility of keeping the public peace. This is usually done by uniformed pro-active patrolling within their jurisdiction looking for and investigating law breakers, and by responding to calls for service. Police officers are required to keep notes of all situations in which they take action and appear as witnesses during both criminal prosecutions and civil litigation. One of the lesser-known but most time-consuming duties of officers is completion of documentation of activity ("reporting").

From what you're saying is that ultimately, control of the police force would rest with the president. Since he is in charge of the executive branch. And in that you are incorrect.

drmiler

We are not talking about the executive imposing a sentence in court. We are talking about enforcing the laws like the police, FBI, Border Patrol, and IRS etc. That is what Bush is not doing. The end result may end up in court but without the executive (President at the federal level and Governor at the State Level etc.) we have no enforcement of our laws. The courts can not arrest people or choose to rule on a person or issue. The FIRST step is the responsibility of the Executive and then if warranted a trial follows.
