I am so disgusted with it all, I am no longer posting. You know what I think about the cesspool that people call Bush. We just need to ride out the next few years, and hope he doesn't fuck this place up to bad while he is in office.
Whoever thought he could run a country, needs to be slapped. |
This was 2000-2008 for me.

Exactly, just need to change one word and there it is.

I can’t speak for mafoo, but the thing that has annoyed me the most about the switch from Bush to Obama is how obvious it is that some people are mindless partisans. Back in the Bush years I was often agreeing with Democrats (and arguing with Republicans) that the deficit was unsustainable and the growth in government was a bad thing; and now I find many of those Democrats defending a massive increase in the deficit and a massive growth in government intervention into people’s lives.
Obama is in many ways just as bad (or worse) that Bush ever was, the main difference is he has a much better PR team; and the unconditional support of many members of the media.

Likewise I can't speak for smbu, but for me much of what I disliked about Bush-era politics had less to do with spending (although he was terrible about this considering he was supposed to be a conservative) and more to do with social and war policies. It seems to me that the neo-cons focused on getting the government out of peoples lives, EXCEPT homosexual bedrooms and hosipital beds for dying people. Out of our lives should be out of everyone's lives. And Bush was lucky that he had a really good group of people around him too. Oh, and I am by no means a Democrat, those goofs can't find their asses with both hands. I'm just pretty socially liberal for a lot of things, but conservative about others (i.e. personal responsibility, people!)

Compared to Obama, though, what has Bush done that was anti-homosexual? I can't think of anything that Obama has done other than look into repealing the 'don't ask don't tell policy'
