Oh, things definitely change alright.
At least, the Oval Office is not being used as a bordello any longer.
And the Lincoln Bedroom isn't being rented out to political campaign donors anymore either.
And we don't have a sitting President perjuring himself and being forced to testify under oath about his transgressions.

No attacks on US soil since 9/11.
A strong economy in spite of multiple fronts against terror around the world.
Unemployment rate at record lows.
Projected surplus by the end of the decade.
No "I don't recall" testimony by a sitting president prone to lying to protect his arse and his cronies arse's as well.
No selling secrets for a stay in the Lincoln Bedroom.
No blow jobs in the oval office (unless you've done a tour there recently)
Yes, things are much better.

Not exactly. None headline worthy.
A strong economy in spite of multiple fronts against terror around the world.
How would multiple fronts hurt the economy?
Unemployment rate at record lows.
Proof??? Doubt it.
Projected surplus by the end of the decade.
Projected by who?? There's no surplus and you know it.
No "I don't recall" testimony by a sitting president prone to lying to protect his arse and his cronies arse's as well.
Instead, a president who lies through his teeth to protect his personal agenda.
No selling secrets for a stay in the Lincoln Bedroom.
No $hit, everyone abroad hates him, so no business will prevail.
No blow jobs in the oval office (unless you've done a tour there recently)
That you know of, didn't see Cheney under Bush's desk???
Yes, things are much better.
Not till '08....1 and 1/2 more years of tardom.

Bush sucks, and all the 'Pub support in the world can't cure it.

Hey Tin, when was the last time you stopped and offered to help someone on the side of the road? When was the last time you e-mailed your government representatives? Are you poverty stricken or something? Things not going your way? Lose your job, wife, life, or mind? There's a 12 step program for your kind of problems. I'm just trying to figure out why you are such an angry individual, you definately need to find something else to occupy your time, this stuff is making you sound more and more...not right.. with every post. Take a multi vitamin or something because your chemistry is way off.

Just remember that all of those people that hate the President also hate you just as much and wish you to be just as dead. It doesn't even matter what politics you preach, they just want you dead.

It's not going to get better until the next revolution. As it stands right now, both parties suck hard. They should all be fired for the BS that is being done in the Capitol.

The American soil in Athens Greece was attacked recently, you know the dirt the US Embassy sits on is considered US soil. So if in the future , any of you who want to claim Bush's victory of no attacks on US soil, study up so you don't sound like An Idiot

Can't argue that point. OK, you win, lets all pack up and do something else now. Even though our embassies are soverign soil, I don't think that that was what was being discussed. Can you give an example that has happened on, in, or around the continental U.S.?

Greece? you live near there? what's the matter, running out of substantive arguments?

He's not running out of substance....he never has/had any.
This dork that is charachterizing an attack against America as an attack on an American embassy is the same bloke who views a blowjob from an intern as not sexual in nature. Duh.
He knows full well what was being asserted by claiming no attacks on America.
He's just too stubborn and petty to admit it.

Give an example of these not worth mentioning incidents please
Anthrax Attacks, October-November 2001: On October 7 the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that investigators had detected evidence that the deadly anthrax bacterium was present in the building where a Florida man who died of anthrax on October 5 had worked. Discovery of a second anthrax case triggered a major investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The two anthrax cases were the first to appear in the United States in 25 years. Anthrax subsequently appeared in mail received by television networks in New York and by the offices in Washington of Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle and other members of Congress. Attorney General John Ashcroft said in a briefing on October 16, "When people send anthrax through the mail to hurt people and invoke terror, it’s a terrorist act."

Once again, finishing Daddy's war in Iraq, which he'll fail at doing.

What is our goal in Iraq?
Are we half way there?
If that means your goal, I think it is to tear down democracy undermine the free world. To further your socialistic agenda.
If it means what do I think the coalition forces goal is. It’s to prevent your type from achieving your agenda. This is going to take some time, we are dealing with people who would plant a bomb on their child to push their agenda, and you sir are helping them. You and the Cindy Sheehans of the world
When can we bring our people back home?
When the job is done. Of course if it were up to your type we’d leave tomorrow. When things got worse you’d place blame on the American people, to undermine the free world, tear down democracy and push your socialistic agenda
Got any answers??
NO, I really doubt it.....
You won’t be happy until the monkey man from Iran gets nuclear capabilities. ...:eek: ...:p ...........:rolleyes:

Much info on the page but not much for continental US incidents by muslim terrorists.
[QUOTE]Once again, finishing Daddy's war in Iraq, which he'll fail at doing.
A fifteen year old comes up to you on the street and smacks you in the face continuously for 20 minutes with no fatigue in sight, how long before you haul off and knock the spit out of them? If you walk away, the kid is just going to follow and continue with whatever they please. This is the way it is wether you chose to believe it or not.
B.S. I hate Bush as president and don't want any Americans dead.
"Hate" is a pretty powerful emotion. Many people have destroyed themselves with it, by it, and for it. Either way it still doesn't change the fact that there are factions of the Muslim religion that want you dead at all cost. So it is written.
Focus on the present.....BUSH's wrongdoings, not by-gons.
IMO, this situation in Iraq wasn't wrong to be started. What's wrong is to go in knowing (being told) that it "is" going to take years to solve the issue and after a few years decide that its politically wrong to continue. It seems that my junior senator from N.Y. is running along these lines as well as a good portion of congress.
What happens to the people of Iraq if we have to just up and leave because our government refuses to spend the money it takes to complete the job that we promised to do. (just thinking out loud, no need to reply)

Today's society has become the "me, me, me" instant gratification society. They expect a war to follow the same guidelines. To take longer than tomorrow is unthinkable!
I believe the word my parents used was 'patience'. Seems we are lacking that today.
I do not like to hear the casualty info on the news, I know some of these people but it would be distressful even if I didn't. However, you cannot expect to turn an entire nation around in a week, month, year or even a couple. It takes patience, perseverance and persistence. Do we really want to have to revisit this situation in another ten years if we do not finish it this time? I think we've been there once.
