Bye, George.

[cska80]

While we say goodbye to George, here's a challenge. Name something that George did right.

[AJ Antimony]

He moved out.

[Agent CSL]

His dog was never abused, bombed or plastered with DU? His dog was adored. He did his dog right.

[Michigan11]

He doesn't have a son to run for president....

[Matt Collins]

[american.swan]

He didn't agree to the kyoto environment agreement.

[polomertz]

I always said that the ONLY thing Bush ever did right was say, "I will be attending The Olympics because it's a sporting event."

I can't think of anything else.

[Theocrat]

He stopped partial-birth abortions.

[Freedom 4 all]

He kept America safe from terrorist attacks.




PFFFTT!!!! Just kidding.
As completely asinine as this is, it's all a Bush supporter will ever say, although when you laugh in their face, they usually get either back down or get quite belligerent and bring up a whole pile of bullshit that has nothing to do with anything. Actually it's usually the latter. One good thing about Obama winning is that Right Wing news will (hopefully) stop fellating Bush and become more libertarian. Although frankly I'll believe it when I see it.

[damania]

He maybe gone but he left a big stink. Also, Bush Sr. has it in his head that Jeb will run next for the presidency. He declined to run for the Senate *hint hint*.

[acptulsa]

*crickets chirp*

[nullvalu]

He privatized Social Security for future generations just like he promised....



















Oh wait, nevermind, he never actually did that.

[Original_Intent]

I thought this thread was about GHemminger :p

[acptulsa]

I thought this thread was about GHemminger :p

*More crickets chrip*

I'm JUST KIDDING!!

[Paulitical Correctness]

Many hearty laughters.

[MRoCkEd]

He didn't invade Iran.

... yeah

[jenmckin]

He doesn't have a son to run for president....

Okay...I laughed out loud at this one.

He went after a terrorist country that technically didn't do anything to us..he ran the national debt up so high that our great grandchildren will still be paying it...he decimated the Constitution...he gave himself dictator like powers over the American people...he helped kill the economy...

OH...we were supposed to be telling things he did RIGHT...

Um...

Ummm....

I'm at a loss....He stayed mostly sober for 8 years?

Well... He didn't COMPLETELY destroy the country. People still have HOPE.

Yeaaahhh that's right! we won!

[slacker921]

It's sad that as a Republican I can't honestly name a single thing that I feel George Bush did right during his 8 years in office but when I go look in the book store I see almost an entire bookshelf dedicated to the constitutional/legal issues he's created (I just read "A Nation of Sheep" and "The End of America" for example).

[Nirvikalpa]

Not only piss off the American people, but scare the sh!t out of a female German chancellor...

His dog bit a reporter!

[Nirvikalpa]

His dog bit a reporter!

... but the poor little guy was dropped! He needed to release that stored anger.

It was preemptive; the dog subscribes to the Bush Doctrine.

[SovereignMN]

He stopped partial-birth abortions.

The way Bush and the Republicans handled this was an abomination. When the Republicans controlled Congress in Clinton's 2nd term they presented him a partial-birth abortion ban every session, knowing that it would be vetoed and they could then go home to their districts and say "See...I'm pro-life!"

Even though I didn't vote for Bush in 2000 (voted Buchanan) I at least thought, "Well we'll finally get that partial-birth abortion ban passed". Then something really strange happened. The ban never got brought up again in Bush's first 3 years. It wasn't until the summer of 2004 that they enacted the ban. The Republicans purposefully delayed this ban for over 3 years so they could make it an election issue fresh in the minds of the pro-life voters.

Estimates say that 1000 babies may have been killed by this procedure a year. So for a few extra votes in 2004 the Republicans were willing to stand idle and let over 3000 babies die via this method? :mad::mad::mad:

[tpreitzel]

While we say goodbye to George, here's a challenge. Name something that George did right.

Honestly, I can't think of one thing that GW Bush did right. Even during a recent interview, he stated that it's time for Obama to do what he thinks is right. George, you still don't get it. No, it's NOT time for Obama to do what he thinks is right. It's high time for executives to do what the Constitution says is right. Got it? Good. Now leave both the Presidency and the US...we've had enough of you. Baghdad's US embassy might be a cozy winter retreat. You still have a few months left.

[Freedom 4 all]

Well... He didn't COMPLETELY destroy the country. People still have HOPE.

HOPE and CHANGE unfortunately come in the form of socialism. On the bright side though, I guess one good thing is that he fucked up the country so much that Obama, and hence socialism, will be seen as unsuccessful. It may be a bumpy ass couple of years though.

[hadenough]

He brought up the question that is rarely asked, "Is our children learning?"

[ihsv]

He hasn't pressed the big red button yet :)

[Kotin]

he made it so bad that we could vote for change the next time around.. :rolleyes:

[acptulsa]

He hasn't pressed the big red button yet :)

First an only. Yeah, much as I hate to, I must confess that you're right.

And thank you so much for reminding us that he still has a week's worth of opportunity to do it! :(

[Minlawc]

I think he was actually more honest than most modern presidents.
He also stayed alive, so Cheney didn't take over.

[Pennsylvania]

The Bush Tax Cuts. Ron Paul wanted to make them permanent. Even somebody who is 99% wrong deserves credit for the 1% they were right on.

[ihsv]

This from LewRockwell.com

Fred Barnes continues the Neocon lovefest with Bush, reminding us in the Weekly Substandard that Bush really was a great president (http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/015/986rockt.asp?pg=1). Barnes lists 10 Great Things that Bush did in his eight years, including:



He stood against "global warming." (He did?)
"Enhanced interrogations" of "terrorists." (What the ancients once called torture.)
"The rebuilding of presidential authority." (Let none call it dictatorship.)
"Unswerving support for Israel." (What Israel wants, Israel gets.)
The No Child Left Behind Act. (Oh, yes, this legislative fraud is a mark of greatness.)
Promoting democracy abroad. (And destroying it at home, like his fellow Jacobins.)
"The Medicare prescription drug benefit." (Please, no. Not this one. Rove said passage would help ensure Republican dominance in government for decades, another Social Security Act. Gotta love these "political geniuses.")
"John Roberts and Sam Alito." (Of course. Why had I not thought about that? Two guys who believe in Government uber alles and are not afraid to rule that way.)
"He strengthened relations with east Asian democracies (Japan, South Korea, Australia) without causing a rift with China." (Yeah, and I bet they are soooo grateful to King George.)
"Finally, a no-brainer: the surge." (True, one does not need a brain to support the "surge." Glad we agree on something, Fred.)


So, there you have it. Greatness. You heard it first here on LRC.

[penguin]

He kept Al Gore out of the office ;-)

[qh4dotcom]

Bush opposed all tax increases...except the upcoming inflation tax

[kill the banks]

I thought this thread was about GHemminger :p

[hotbrownsauce]

Did he offset a recession in 2000 by his tax cuts?

Other than that I can't think of anything.

[nbruno322]

You know, actually when he was campaigning in 2000 he didn't sound too bad. Kind of advocated a less interventionist foreign policy and such:

Compare that rhetoric to what we actually got. Now ponder what we will really get from Obama, and his rhetoric is horrible.

They got Osama, we got Bush. Wouldn't it be funny if Osama outlasts Bush?

[Jodi]

i thought this thread was about ghemminger :p

rofl!!

[libertarian4321]

He didn't invade Iran.

... yeah

Was that last word supposed to be "yet?"

He still has a few days- time enough to start another pointless war, and maybe burn down the White House before he leaves...

[libertarian4321]

It was preemptive; the dog subscribes to the Bush Doctrine.

The dog understands the Bush Doctrine, but Sarah Palin doesn't.

Maybe McCain should have taken the intellectual level of his campaign up a notch and selected the dog as his running mate :)

[libertarian4321]

The Bush Tax Cuts. Ron Paul wanted to make them permanent. Even somebody who is 99% wrong deserves credit for the 1% they were right on.

Yup, Mussolini got the trains to run on time, Hitler loved his dog, and Bush had the tax cuts...make room for another head on Mt. Rushmore!

[anaconda]

He lowered taxes. That's all I can think of.
