It wasn't the Democrats crying about piddly s**t durring the Clinton administration. That would have been the Republicans.

The Dems aren't complaining about who gave whom oral sex and where. They're complaining about serious issues... for the most part.

Personally... I don't care how much of what Bush stuck up his nose in his youth. Little things like that are petty.

Instead of just saying, "it's true", how 'bout some factual evidence to back up the claim? Some might be surprised how effective factual evidence can be in changing a persons mind...

With so many tall tales about the President circulating through loony left circles in America, it's only fair that I introduce the idea that John Heinz Kerry is a dedicated communist in the world wide communist movement.

Now, to all the leftists who repeat and magnify the outright lies told about the President, I would say to you that I can make a very convincing case that John Kerry is a communist, allied to foreign powers. Such a strong case in fact that if Kerry were ever indicted for being an agent of foreign powers, hostile to the United States, I could build a case from the very record of Kerry's actions and all of it on the record with not one lie necessary to convict Kerry in a court of law. In a court of law, facts matter, opinion doesn't matter and feelings don't matter. Just the facts.

I must say that I lean to the right moreso than the left, to be upfront. (You may already have gleaned that from earlier postings of mine if you happened to read them)... At any rate, I do agree with some others who have commented here, in terms of supporting evidence to back up some of these more blanket statements. As Randall indicated (and I can say this with a fair amount of confidence, having some years of personal investment experience, analyzing the stock market and and a BA in Economics and Finance, the president has very little to do with actually producing any significant fluctuation, economically speaking. (Though it's a great "catch phrase" to appeal to the popular vote: ie- "It's the economy, stupid!") With respect to taxes, as Randall pointed out, there is greater influence but in the grand scheme of things, this is relatively minute. In terms of other issues, such as vacation days --- I would argue that any president is hardly ever "off duty" as it were. If being a doctor means being on call 24/7 for you patients, I would argue that being the president means being on call for your country 24/7. In this sense, I don't feel that any president is truly ever "on vacation". Also, it is not always the case that the president is "vacationing" just because this info. has been leaked to the press. I have an older friend who used to work for Regan in the C.I.A., and you'd be surprised how many "stories" are leaked to the press, to cover for the real whereabouts and going-on in the White House. Interesting stuff but I won't get into all that here. While we are on the topic of absenteeism, John Kerry (and this is documented) skipped 28 of 39 Sentate Intelligence Committee hearings and has been a proponent of cutting military intelligence and spending. Not exactly the best move, given the current global climate. However, if you are of the opinion that domestic issues are of greater concern, then maybe this is what you like to hear. I personally feel that we cannot afford as a nation to disregard the fact that there is a global battle going on in our midst and that we cannot afford to take any kind of a back seat where foreign policy is concerned. Also, I wouldn't necessarily be too quick to attack the president because he may have isolated some of our would-be allies in an attempt to stand firm in his convictions. While we may not share his convictions, it is somewhat reassuring to know that we have someone in authority who does not back down in the face of disapproval. If he were to have done just this, we might instead have found ourselves thinking "typical politician: catering to the mass appeal". Sometimes it is necessary to go against the tide, so to speak. As for the "fewest press conferences", sometimes less is more, you know? I think that it was personally a smart move for Bush, since we all know that public speaking is not his strong suit....
In terms of the "most secret and unaccountable presidency in history"..... I don't know about that. It's a pretty grand statement to make, I think. What about Nixon? What about earlier presidents? It is difficult to support such qualitative statements, as mass media and perception were not in the past what they are today. There is also nothing wrong with boasting "rich cabinet members" as long as these members are honest and upstanding citizens. I think it is unfair to throw money into the equation. A man or woman with money who has earned it on his or her own merit deserves to reap the benefits of his or her efforts. I am not suggesting that ALL of the current cabinet members are above reproach in this regard, for this is something I have no way of proving. I am merely suggesting that the ownership of money, in and of itself is a neutral matter. As far as corporate campaign donations, again I do not see how this reflects on the performance of any particular president. Ditto for polls and focus group spending. And as far establishing a "secret shadow" government. This is a vague remark. I would be interested to learn more about why you think this is the case. As far as Europe's approval of the US, I would say they disapprove because they are being infiltrated as we speak, by the Muslim population. By the end of this century, I would hazard a guess and say that the vast majority of the European population will be Muslim. The face of the world is changing in this regard. I believe (though I don't have a vast amount of evidence to back up this statement) that by and large, Europeans are afraid. In recognizing the changing face of the globe, they realize that they are already outnumbered by the Muslim population and are probably very anxious to not create any waves in this regard, being that they do not enjoy the separation that the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean provides to the US. They know that they may be very well subject to attack should their collective policies aim to in any way go against that of the Arab regimes. It is my guess that many countries in Europe will by the end of this century be overtaken by the Muslims and essentially overrun. I could be entirely mistaken in this estimation but I would not be surprised....
Lastly, I think it quite unfair to blame the president for the attacks to the world Trade Center. If anything, the Clinton administration set the stage for this atrocious blunder. Mind you, I am not blaming the Clintons for this calamity, merely pointing out that matters of national security were of not much concern to them during their time, comparatively speaking. Clinton cut defense spending by 95% when he was in office. It is known in military (and other) circles that the Clintons had a sort of disdain towards military personnel and did not even so much as permit them to dress in uniform while in the White House or on the premises of the White House. Having military exp., I will say that the uniform, while only an outward trapping, has much meaning and value to those who have served in our armed forces. Military personnel take great pride in their appearance and the wearing of the uniform is a symbol of pride in one's country and one's duty. To be stripped of this dignity is an offense which many did not take lightly. But I digress....

It is difficult to take issue with each and every one of these statements, as many are not complete with supporting evidence. A few, such as "I appointed more convicted criminals to administrative positions that any president in US history", I am hard pressed to argue because I do not have the facts. But I would be interested to know where you found this information and will do my own research in the meantime. Also, what type of convictions are we speaking of here? Marijuana related offenses? Public intoxication? I bring this up because obviously some offenses are much more grievous than others and warrant greater concern. It is easy to make blanket statements without analyzing some of the more subtle nuances......

On a much lighter note ---- on a popular sex toy website, Bush garnered the most votes (45.3%) for "Candidate you'd most like to sleep with". He can't be all that bad, right??? Then again (to put the Libra twist on things) maybe it was one of those S&M sites!!!!!

We have offered proof, and you have refused it because you don't want to believe it. I could quote statistics at you, but you would not believe them if you didn't want to (esp. if they were contrary to your position). LibraSparkle has already given you about fifty facts. If you dislike them, prove otherwise.

And jwhop, you're embarrassing yourself. Do carry on if you wish.

I set all-time record for the biggest drop in the history of the stock
market.

This was because of 9/11, something Bush had no control over.

I've made my presidency the most secretive and unaccountable of any in US history.

As evidenced by what?

Members of my cabinet are the richest of any administration in US history.
(The poorest multimillionaire, Condoleeza Rice, has a Chevron oil tanker named after her.)

Are you people kidding? I have two words for you - Kerry HEINZ!

I don't have time to go through the list, line by line.
