The difference is that George Bush has a history of freaking out over percieved enemies and spending billions of dollars and thousands of lives on ill concieved and badly implemented adventures.
Obama has no history.

It really makes no difference when 1600 PA Ave. is possessed by war criminals of either party... the US has become an agressor nation that must be stopped, by her electorate or by the world....
Brought to for Dr. Erb, as PS 322 "The Problem-Solving Paradigm of the UN" is running a bit long today. |

So, what you’re saying, cindy, is that there’s no difference in the positions. Same foxhole, only one guy has let the lead out, while the other has yet to stick his head out. |

Obama has no history. No kidding. Yet there is a significant percentage of the population ready to toss him the keys to the White House.

The War on Terrorism was lost November 7th, 2000 (or somewhat later if you count when it actually ended) when somebody the press doesn’t like won the election, and it was re-lost in 2004 when somebody the press doesn’t like retained office. No fact after that matters; it was pre-ordained then that any military action taken would be failures, all policies would backfire horribly, and that the economy would be horrible.
I’m 90% confident that had somebody wearing a (D) after their name behaved exactly like Bush (and there have been some rather (D) stances he’s taken, like on illegal immigration), we’d hardly be able to turn on the TV without Bush(D) being praised for his incredible leadership, resolve, and vision. (Biggest exception: The judges he nominated.)
(OK, while I don’t entirely agree with this, there is a strong element of truth to it; I think this is actually the root reason the liberals have been "forced" to take on so many fundamentally illiberal positions lately, because God forbid they agree with Bush at all on any position whatsoever. Come on, siding with fundamentalist gay-bashing genocidal racists? Is there really a reason for this beyond "the enemy of my enemy is my friend, apparently even if he’s also my mortal enemy"?)
(Also note the economy storyline, after some tortured iterations of "It’s bad when the interest rates go up, and it’s bad when they go down, and then it’s bad again when they go up", got so untenable that it has been almost entirely dropped. Of course, if we had Bush(D), we’d be hearing a lot more about the economy... this is probably good in a way, though, irrational exuberance is probably not something we need again right now.) |

How much more experience did Bush have in 2000 than Obama has now? How much better did we know Bush in 2000 than we know Obama? The only issue that the Gore and Bush campaigns diferentiated themselves on was retiree healthcare. Other than that, the election was a compassionate conservatives against a fiscally conservative liberal.
How many of the people who voted for Bush in 2000 thought that he was "the uniter not the divider" who "didn’t believe in nation building". Who would have guessed that he was a bible thumping, military adventurer and who believed that "deficits didn’t matter"?
We don’t know obama and people will vote for him. We didn’t know Bush either and see where that got us.

How much more experience did Bush have in 2000 than Obama has now? Well gee, Cindy, he’d been the governor of one of the largest states in the union for 8 years. That’s called ’executive experience.’
What executive experience does Obama have? We don’t know obama and people will vote for him. And I assume you to believe this to be a good thing? |

And Tax Cuts....Dubya for them, AlGore for targeted tax cuts for those that bought a Prius and installed solar heating but earned less than $100,000 per year and occupied 2,000 Ft-squared of living space....How many of the people who voted for Bush in 2000 thought that he was "the uniter not the divider" Well if he was so inocuous why the great hulla-baloo about counting every vote (for AlGore?) And you have to ahve folks who want to be UNITED, rather than wondering around saying "Selected not Elected." who "didn’t believe in nation building".
You’re right we didn’t...we were wrong.Who would have guessed that he was a bible thumping, military adventurer and who believed that "deficits didn’t matter"?
Unlike that Clinton fellow whose last budgets to Democratic Congress saw deficits INDEFINITELY or that Clinton fellow that bombed Serbia, Afghanistan, the Sudan, and Iraq-the later repeatedly and then signed the Iraq Liberation Act? Now I will say he wasn’t a Bible thumper, I mean he liked people, interns, on their knees, but the Bible well that didn’t ahve much to do with it....We don’t know obama and people will vote for him. We didn’t know Bush either and see where that got us. So to recap your position to vote for a Bush, an unkown, BAD...to vote for an Obama, Unknown, GOOD...so Logic, you failed that class right CindyB?

How much more experience did Bush have in 2000 than Obama has now? Yeah - that whole ’governor of Texas thing’... completely irrelevant.
the election was a compassionate conservatives against a fiscally conservative liberal.
Al Gore = fiscally conservative liberal???? Is it hot under that tinfoil hat?How many of the people who voted for Bush in 2000 thought that he was "the uniter not the divider" who "didn’t believe in nation building". Who would have guessed that he was a bible thumping, military adventurer and who believed that "deficits didn’t matter"? Umm, a lot of us thought certain things about W in 2000. And a lot of us were tired of the whole Clinton debacle, and a lot of us were just plain FRIGHTENED of Al Gore. Oh yeah, and wasn’t there a little something that happened about 9 months after W took office that changed the course of history? Oh wait, Bush wanted that to happen so he could become a nation builder. Got it.

Now I will say he wasn’t a Bible thumper, But he sure made quite the show of going to church with that big ostentatious bible in plan view for the cameras.
It’s ok to use the bible for a prop rather than actually believe in the thing I suppose. |

Obama will bomb ’em because the left will give him a free pass. They’ll support anything to keep from having another Bush in the White House. As you remember, the Iraq campaign was a Democratic idea from the Clinton administration. |
