And actually, Jean Z. The people who detonated explosives in the World Trade Center in 1993 were prosecuted and are in jail. This was after Clinton TRIPLED the budgets of the agencies investigating.
Learn your history, you stupid shit, before you go spouting meaningless, incorrect crap.

from wikipedia:
The attack was planned by a group of conspirators including Ramzi Yousef, Mahmud Abouhalima, Mohammad Salameh, Nidal Ayyad, Abdul Rahman Yasin and Ahmad Ajaj. They received financing from Khaled Shaikh Mohammed, Yousef’s uncle. In March 1994, four men were convicted of carrying out the bombing: Abouhalima, Ajaj, Ayyad and Salameh. The charges included conspiracy, explosive destruction of property and interstate transportation of explosives. And in November 1997, two more were convicted: Yousef, the mastermind behind the bombings, and Eyad Ismoil, who drove the truck carrying the bomb.

WTF!!! Does the “other side” (even people from foreign countries) think their human-ness or needs or opinions are THAT original and “right-er” than mine or ANYONES?

It’s almost embarressing how similar we all are .. We’re just marketed differently. But one thing I know for sure… I FELT SAFER WITH BUSH than Clinton. Oh, yeah, Clinton, the one who was in office when the first attempt to KILL us at the World Trade Center – Clinton did nothing. Yet.. we hear NOTHING about that. For that.. I’ll vote Republican forever.
Can you blame me? I mean you heard NOTHING about that from the Democrats. The mere fact that it was NEVER said BY the Democrats was enough for me to vote Republican.

Thank you for this blog. It really is a breath of fresh air.

And someone will be like “Oh are these the same Muslism that Reagan armed in the 1980s!!!!!! lol. ROTFL!!!!!!!! idiot!!!!!!!”

. He looked the American people in the eye and flat-out lied about his amnesty bill–and make no mistake, it was definitely his. There was no excuse, and absent any genuine apology, will be no forgiveness for that blatant lie. Coupled with his complete disregard for border security, he has dealt his own credibility a mortal blow.

I think Bush was a damn fool for promoting that bill knowing full well he had no domestic support for it.

I opposed that bill.. it was garbage.

Having said that.. I’m not clear as to what Bush’s lie was… can you tell me what it was?

. He also lied about pursuing terrorists and their state sponsors wherever they may be, as is evidenced by his hand-holding with the Saudis, whose own sponsorship of jihad is blatant, despite their disingenuous protests otherwise. Put his 2001 pledge down to political blather if you will, but he has repeated it in various forms since, intending us to take him seriously.

I wouldn’t call that a lie. I would call it failure to live up to policy. One of the main reasons why I supported the Iraq war was becauese I thought it was a stepping stone to taking care of Saudi and Iran..but that was not to be.

And when you consider the Democrats decided to go to war against the war that effectively ended any futher hardcore US action.. so the crippling of that aspect of US policy has plenty of blame to go around… the Democrats, the traitors at CIA, the traitors at State, the Media… the weaklings like C. Rice.

I dont see Bush as being a liar.

“All evidence suggests George W. Bush is a decent man who means well”?

I voted for GWB twice for President. Given the same circumstances, even with 20-20 hindsight over the years since 2004 (and mis-steps previously), I’d do so again. However, I feel more than justified in criticizing his character on two serious issues:

1. He looked the American people in the eye and flat-out lied about his amnesty bill–and make no mistake, it was definitely his. There was no excuse, and absent any genuine apology, will be no forgiveness for that blatant lie. Coupled with his complete disregard for border security, he has dealt his own credibility a mortal blow.

2. He also lied about pursuing terrorists and their state sponsors wherever they may be, as is evidenced by his hand-holding with the Saudis, whose own sponsorship of jihad is blatant, despite their disingenuous protests otherwise. Put his 2001 pledge down to political blather if you will, but he has repeated it in various forms since, intending us to take him seriously.

He has yet to make good on that pledge as regards the two greatest sponsors of global jihad/terrorism: Saudi Arabia and Syria. Not even a stab at it.

Well-intentioned? If so, he must be as stupid as his longtime detractors have asserted (and assertion I do not believe), for these two things cannot be the result of good intentions toward the American people he was elected to serve. And I doubt the core decency of anyone who shows no shame in lying to me as he did with his false claim that his amnesty bill was not an amnesty bill.

And yet.. in each of the two elections where I voted for him, he was the better man for the job (by at least an order of magnitude) than his opponents. Now that’s a sad, sad thing.

a friend asked how I could support George W. Bush for president when he was “just like the guys who picked on you in high school.”

What a stupid claim (on your friends’s part). How could she possibly know he was “just like the guys who picked on you in high school”? Had she met him? Was she there? Is there reliably testimony of GWB picking on gays or anybody in high school? Or, as seems more likely, wasn’t your friend just making sh*t up? based on her own demented stereotypes?

Whatever ability he had in TX seems to have disappeared this second term, they just don’t seem to be able to work together. I can’t lay on all the blame on him, democrats don’t feel a need to work with him in his lame duck/unpopular status…and there is a lot of intense “anger” from the base.

The number 1 problem that he has was his adminstrations total abondement of public leadership and the unwillingness to stand up to the lies of the Democrats.

My dislike of what has become of his terms in office is softened by the realization that as bad as he is, considering who the alternatives were, he is the best we got.

As his presidency nears an end, I find myself not liking him. But that doesn’t mean I dislike him. And I certainly don’t hate him.

I’ve never found any joy in watching President Bush take it on the chin in Congress, even if I’ve opposed what he wanted. And I’ve never wanted him destroyed because the country would suffer, especially abroad, to have a lame and ineffective chief executive.

I know a lot of Republicans, and run into many more who I don’t know, who also have conflicted opinions about the President.

I won’t live long enough to see it, but it will be interesting when enough time has passed to see how a future generation of historians measures the man and judges his presidency.

(As much as I dislike James Earl Carter, I don’t hate him either. As a committed Christian there isn’t room in my heart for hatred.)
