Buchanan gives a good review on Bush's woes...

Quote :

" Meanwhile, Bush's party is ripping itself apart over immigration, a direct result of his own failure to secure the border against an invasion -- pushed by a succession of Mexican regimes that have eased their social crisis by dumping their poor onto the stupid Yankees. In America, the Mexican poor cease to be a liability and become an asset, sending back $16 billion a year in remittances to keep the gang afloat and the game going in Mexico City. Historians will one day marvel that, as their Southwest was slipping away from the United States -- demographically, linguistically and culturally -- Americans were fighting to keep Iraq together. Remarkable. Foreigners are invading and occupying Arizona, while Americans are fighting for Anbar province. "

Republicans are spending us into oblivion. Democrats are rubbing their hands in glee waiting for the fall elections...Are you ready for tax hikes, and impeachment?

Ivan Eland, a Senior Fellow at The Independent Institute, has this comment:

Quote :

"President George W. Bush is not the first recent president to use military power to intervene in the affairs of other countries, but he probably has been the most reckless and incompetent. In terms of numbers of useless military interventions, Bill Clinton was the modern day champion—intervening or threatening to intervene in Somalia, Haiti, Bosnia, and Kosovo—but he was smart enough to have avoided a large ground invasion that might have led to a quagmire. Even Presidents Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard M. Nixon—who sent large ground forces into the Vietnam tar baby and persisted in that futile war, respectively—did not have the potential to inflame radical anti-U.S. terrorists worldwide by their actions. Instead of completely neutralizing al Qaeda after 9/11, President Bush’s ignorance and lack of understanding of Islam have increased the threat from radical Islamists against the United States. In Islam, even moderate Muslims believe that when Islamic lands are invaded by non-Muslims, every Muslim must do what he or she can to resist. The fierce Islamist response to the Soviets in Afghanistan, the Russians in Chechnya, and the Israelis in Palestine should have given the Bush administration pause about how a foreign invader would be received in Iraq. Compounding this difficulty, it didn’t occur to the Bush administration that Iraq was an artificial country that had always been held together by brute force and that when that force was removed, it would descend into anarchy and civil war. Nor did it occur to the administration that the chaos would create a haven and training ground for radical jihadists, who could launch future attacks against the United States."

"Republicans are spending us into oblivion."

As long as we keep raising the debt level we allow ourselves to have then this can go on indefinitely... well not indefinitely, it will catch up to us eventually, but it can last atleast until bush is out of office so that it can be the next guys problem. Then the next guy, rep or dem, can say it’s not my fault taxes have to be raised, it was the previous guy... that way no one has to take the blame at a time when they would be held accountable.

I'm not sure immigration can tear republicans apart when they can still unite against gays and women having abortions. This issue is coming up so early before the presidential election that I don’t think it will last that long as the main issue for that election atleast.

W will soon, and forever after, be viewed as the worst pres ever......

4/4/2006 1:03:29 PM

His base of religious conservatives is unshakable, and he had 9/11 during his reign. I think as time goes by more of his actions will be viewed in a critical light by the historians, maybe through comparisons to his father as an heir he will be seen as a throne in decline, but I’m not sure that even if he was the worst ever that he could be painted that way.

Of course college history departments are run by liberal professors so he will get smacked around, but he has done some good stuff during his time as Commander-in-Chief, so I don’t think he’ll be viewed as the worst ever.

4/4/2006 1:12:01 PM

Err.... what good stuff are you refering to?

for worst president ever

....ANDDDD GO!

4/4/2006 1:41:21 PM

some of his rhetoric about nasa was good... i don't know how much he carried through with it, but space exploration is something that interests me some i'm atleast glad he didn't put the idea down. also it takes some effort to run a presidency regardless of how bad it turns out, if he makes it to the end without being impeached then he has atleast done some work for the country... even if alot of things he didnt turned out badly.

4/4/2006 3:03:12 PM

and we elected him twice.

TWICE!

wait, did i say twice? i meant we elected him once, my bad.

4/4/2006 3:11:39 PM

with everything that has happened during this presidency and with all the courageous moves that bush has made ...he will undoubtedly go down as one the top five presidents ever

why are you so bad at this??

4/4/2006 9:51:03 PM

Buchanan's right about Iraq...we're spending hundreds of billions of dollars to protect ourselves from middle easterners while we're being colonized by Mexico.


If Congress passed tough immigration reform, the illegals would riot and there would be no way to stop them...another bloody Latin America style revolution. No doubt our politicians were intimidated by last week's marches.

Because they've totally shown in the last few weeks that they're all about some violent protesting.

4/4/2006 10:24:01 PM

I guarantee you it would get ugly if something substantive were done. Latin American countries are prone to bloody revolutions.
