bush?

Alright, so Bush barely won this election. Yet I've been asking around and I still haven't gotten an answer. Can someone name the good things that Bush has done in office? In return, I'll then give you a huge list of bad things he's done in office. I"m just wondering what good he has done.

He owned kerry....that's one! P

Owned by what 1% wow. also factoring that people don't like change and are living in fear + during a war only 1 president has ever not ben reelected... but other than that ya. Still didn't answer the Question.
I think some good things he did were nothing; we all know what would happen if he did cry

3% actually... It was Bush - 51% and Kerry - 48%

I am pround to be from the North East.....aka the fully educated states. The lower you go the more hicks you find. Wooooooo guns!

I don't think he "barely" won. 4 years ago he "barely won". This time, Kerry got PWNED!

All the blue states are pimp. The only other state that is pimp and isn't blue is Florida, but that's only because of all the silly old people who are confused.

yea.. everyone thinks he barely won. Thats not the case.

colors on the map dont mean jack. it goes by electoral votes, which is determined by population..

bush can have north dakota, south dakota, and all those useless states filled with pro-gun hunters.

pro-gun hunters? and what was one of the last big kerry photo ops? him with his shot gun, hunting?
you're a bright one.

just b/c some picture showed kerry holding a shotgun doesnt mean anything.

pictures like that are intended to skew opinions about the candidate...
It's just a picture

those types of pictures work well with the ignorant

He was out hunting. Do you pay any attention to the news?
Ignorant of what exactly? Or did you just learn that word so you felt compelled to use it in a sentence today?

Did you guys also know that Kerry never went to church until he started running for pres... He just wanted people to think he was a religious guy but really he isn't at all.

Oh no! not religious? I can't imagine all the evil things he would do....like increase government spending on stem cell research to save lives.

You are an idiot. Kerry wants to increase gun control laws. Bush wants to take away gun control laws.

I love how people get off by seeing all the red on the map. THE MAP MEANS NOTHING(except for the tshirt hell one mrgreen ). Granted, he won- but how many times do people have to say it was the closest race since what was it... JFK/Nixon? Whip out all the pretty red maps you want, it's the more populated areas that matter. Bush racked up on a lot of the states that barely had any electoral votes. The many little ones plus a few of the big ones gave him the win. And even then the races were close- whether it ended up being a Bush win or not. Take that "Bush Country 2004" map for example. Yes it shows all the red, but does it show how close many of those counties were close to being blue? Of course not. Bush won by 3.5 million votes which is less than half the population of my city.. and that, my friends, proves that he barely won.

well first of all if you if you didnt see him as a career politician working on his image to get elected, then you're just a moron.

second, saying kerry wants to increase gun control laws and bush wants to take them away isnt only inaccurate, it's just a stupid generalization. Keep in mind the renewal bill for assault weapons was never even voted on to have it sent up to be signed. oh, but i'm sure kerry made it clear that it was bush's fault seeing as how he controls the house of reps, but he doesnt.
maybe now that the election is over kerry will start showing up to do his job in the senate.

Doubtful.

Worst comes to worst theres a desk in a ketchup factory with his name on it. D

Grrr, no more politics. You make my head hurt, the election is over, give it another 3 years.

Did someone really bring a post back from....November 11th?

Yeah it was that idiot wood.

Well, Bush or Kerry aside, I recommend you all read "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" by John Perkins. I just finished it and it was the best politically-based book I've ever read.

[quotec362978fa4="PodTopia"]It really makes me wonder whether or not I should be proud to live in the US.[/quotec362978fa4]


If it makes you question the love of your country, I'm not so sure it's a great book. LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT!! HOOH-RAH!

ALRIGHT ALRIGHT, it is the greatest country in the world, and I'm not stopping loving it (is that proper English???). It's just that the book mentions how we're pretty much enforcing economic imperialism. I'll go change my post.

Sorry for the double post, mod please delete it.

o, btw, at least the republicans symbol isnt an ass, lol mrgreen

but either way i dont care who you voted for, as long as you're cool then you're good.

Don't even get me started...

Here's a pretty big thing that everyone seemed to have looked over on

THE IRAQI elections? Anyone? Hear about it? I mean it is the first time Iraq has ever had a democratic government, and I mean, there were barely ANY attacks on the voting day.

So setting up a democrazy in Iraq is considered nothing?

And don't even think about saying I'm uneducated. I live in NJ, I am a republican and I'm only 16 but I can at least back up my statements instead of posting a link to some random anti-bush crap.

The elections had flaws, but were overall a good thing.

However.

To say that the entire thing is justified because of them is, well, a bad precedent. The ends do NOT justify the means, and the means in the entire Iraq situation were pretty damned poor. Even still, our troops and such aren't getting NEAR the support they need, for instance. Bush and crew were so worried about looking bad if they sent too much that they hide their head in the sand about raelity and sent far too little over there. And on top of that, the reasons given kept changing based on what he felt the public wanted to hear. Because, y'know, Iraq had so many WMDs, and gave so much money to Al Qeada.... Wait, no he didn't.

Sorry, while the end result may end up being an improvement, the road we took to get there was extremely poor. And I don't feel that spreading democracy to one country was, overall, worth the negative impact it had on our international relations with virtually every country on the planet.

Lets not get into the general degrading of our civil rights on the homefront, or any of the other extremely questionable things Bush has done.

And, to FreeOffers, it is because I love my country that I HAVE to question things, HAVE to look into why things really happen. Just because it is America doing it does not make it right. I can love my country and still dissaprove of what we are doing, the same as I can support the US military troops even if I hate what we are making them do.

Blind faith in leadership is not patriotism, nor is questioning leadership subversive or unpatriotic.

I never said this ending justified the means. I'm not Machiaveli (sp?). I'm just simply answering what the creator of this topic asked. I said one good thing Bush did. Not asking anyone to turn it around, just stating the truth.
