Give me more options

Comment comment by AnonBCA on 08 February 2008

I wouldn't consider myself a "Liberal" but I'm more liberal then most...I dislike Bush not because he sounds dumb (I don't think he's a complete idiot and I understand the difference between that and being inarticulate. ) but because at this point in time the things that he does "bad" outweigh the things that he does "good". That being said, although we assume that he's making these decisions all on his own, I don't believe he is powerful or strategic enough to come up with his foreign policy exclusively by himself...I know he is working with people to make the "bad" decisions that he does. When Bush makes good decisions I'd be happy to applaud him, but since he's stepped in office our National debt has compounded, we've been at war, and there has been general economic uncertainty...if I were to ask, "whats the easiest thing that I could do to get people to "generally dislike" me as a president? The former points would be my answer. People liked Clinton for the opposite reason, although he flat out lied under oath, and was an adulterer, America forgave him (although congress did not). Most (educated) people WANT a reason to like Bush...we're willing to like him, we're wanting to like him, we're waiting to like him!!

RE: Give me more options by jandaman :: NR5

again, it isn't an issue of bush...that was just an example...i do not think everybody needs to like him or anything else...

my critique is against those who choose not to evaluate the situation and merely decide something is bad absed upon the politcal allegiances.

remember, this isn't about which political philosphy is better...all sides are equally guilty of not listening to valid points that others make...or ignoring bad decisions their side makes...

the alternative (as i see it) is simply to be me open to what all parties are doing and not decide that something is good/bad before even looking into it...that is what my point was...there are too many people that judge without knowing what they are judging...
