A place full of liberals just banned me for saying I thought Bush was a great President...

A group of people that support "diversity and tolerance" just banned me for not agreeing with them... Proves that Liberals truly are nazi's.

Well, he's good for telling people to attack places but for his other stuff I'm not sure what he's done that's beneficial.

We ban conservative disruptors who are opposed to the broad goals of this website. The purpose of this website is to provide a discussion forum for Democrats and other individuals from the political left. We are building an online movement to effect progressive change in our country. As a privately run website, we are not obligated to give equal time to all points of view.

Its Democrats, they only say they are for freedom. Haven't they learned that actions speak louder that words?

BTW, what name did you post under Vicchio? I used SandTrout on my post under predictions.

What is so great about Bush? This is not meant as a flame. I am just seem to be missing one side of the story. It seems to me that almost nothing has improved in the last 3 years and quite a bit has gone downhill. The economy is declining, we had Enron and Worldcom with little done to prevent things like that happening in the future, John Ashcroft is attorney general, we were unsucessful in getting Osama, and we are on the brink of war. I am having trouble finding positives.

Somehow, Bush has maintained a good approval rating and I just can't understand why. Obviously these people see something that I don't. Why is it that you think he has been a good president? Maybe you can enlighten me as to why so many people are happy with his performance.

[SandTrout]

A)The economy has been going to shit sence the summer before the elections were held in 2000 and it takes a while for an economy to rebound. Bush cannot be held resposible for this. maybe if the economy is still crap by the end of his admin, then you can bitch at him for not fixing things.

B)Enron and Worldcom had been fooking around for a while as well, and the recent events have just been the culmination of this. Bush cannot be held responsible for this.

C)Geting Osama was a secondary objective, and the war in Afganistan was amazeingly successful compared to previous invasions of the country/region. We have also been knocking off and captureing terrorist more regularly than we have in the past.

D) The people of the U.S.A. are geting pissed off at terrorist attack on us, and want a more proactive stance against it. They approve going to war with Iraq sense Sudam has proven aggressive and finaces and supplies terrorist factions.

So the positives for Bush are invading Afganistan and trying to invade Iraq (even though he is neglecting north korea). Has he made any domestic strides? Is what he has done with regards to foregin policy the main reason for his high approval rating?

P.S. my problem with the way the government handled enron was that very little was done to prevent something like that happening in the future. I don't blame Bush for it happening but I am dissapointed that he did not make much of an effort at all in seeing that similar things don't happen in the future.

[SandTrout]

Bush isn't neglecting North Korea, he's just takeing a less millitaristic aproach to it(though this is probably because alot of our military is in the middle-east).

I see your point on the Enron deal, but what could be done to prevent someting like that? Not saying Bush is perfect, but he's doing at least a decent job of it.

no oil in north korea

Politics suck.

Their fault for violating their agreement with the US. Not that that surprises me, though. North Korea is one hell of a fucked up country. Read some reports by international aid workers who've worked there and you'll read some startling things. Like, for example, North Korea has an enormous population of starving people, despite the fact that they recieve the most food aid of any country in the world. What's the problem? The government hordes most of it for themselves and their military, while others starve.
