Be Fair

[streicher187]

Is it to hard to be fair?

For all the people who are attacking obama did you do the same to Bush?

For all the people who are loving Obama did you do the same for Bush?

If you look they are not much different

BOTH spent record numbers, Obamas is on book Bush wasn't Iraq, Afgan, Med prescription was all off book and didn't count against the debt.. They are complaining about the cost of health care reform but Bush spent 7x that on his Prescription program and it WAS NOT PAID FOR

Bush/Palin both supported Tarp so how can they and their supporters speak out against it and hold them to a different standart?

Both are fighting 2 wars we shouldn't have been in to begin with in Iraq and Afgan..

Both violate the constitution in the name of "security" and both side with who gives them the most money..

The only difference is Obama put more educated people in key jobs not a horse groomer as head of FEMA..

I was asked if I was racist because I spoke out against Obama and my answer was NO I'M EDUCATED.. which is something I can not say for a lot of people esp. those who defend one of the presidents while attacking the other for the same things..

Considering that Reagan would not even win a primary election as a republican today but is held as the standard shows how dumb most peple are

Some people don't really care about the well-being of their country or anyone in it, but only care about empowering their ideology and the priests thereof.

I was actually harder on Bush.....I was one of the reasons the political section removed from this site back then.

This would be why I don't like him....I don't really see much of a difference. Glad somebody else can see it.

But the problem is that too many people just base an opinion on somebody by the R or D by their name rather than looking at the person or issue. Don't know why people support a party when neither party cares about them.

WHile I have never attacked President Obama I do disagree with a lot of what he is trying to do.

So to answer your question, yes I did the same for President Bush. I think he should have been impeached so sending our children to Iraq one we stopped looking for WMD. No different that when the police come to your home with a search warrant and not finding what they were looking for. They then must leave. They cannot set up camp in your house.

Additinally he morally sined whenever he sent our boys and girls onver there without the tool and protection they needed to do their jobs.

Obama sending more troops overthere just to pull out 18 months later is offensive. Let our troops do what they should be doing. Killing the bad guys. If they aren't going to do that bring them home.

I believe that you are the last person who should be making this comment. There is nobody on this board that has bashed others in the name of their own ideology than you.

That's how I feel about the uber-liberals in power now as well.

Actually, people like Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck are the last people who should be saying it. You know, people who publicly and proudly admitted that they actively want to see America get worse and more Americans suffering just so they can get rid of a president they don't like and replace him with one they do like. Those guys make me look like Rainbow Freakin' Bright. And if you're in their camp, you have no room to criticize.

Sadly I agree. Of course, most liberals are too spineless to do what's right for America because they know it would jeopardize their popularity with centrists, moderates and undecideds (you know, the people who determine the outcome of every election). They care more about staying in power than they do about fulfilling the promises they made to get into power in the first place, and that's the very definition of putting ideology before prosperity.

I find it funny that this thread was started by the #1 Bush hater who quoted President Bush hating websites on a daily basis.

I have no love for Rush. I used to like him years ago but he has gotten too extreme and volatile for my taste.

I think Beck is one of the smartest people on FoxNews. Not because I agree with what he says but because I think that he says many of the things that he says for one reason, to get a reaction. That reaction results in a watched TV show and an active website. The watched show and active website result in money in his pocket and he is laughing all the way to the bank. He uses extremism to get attention and he gets paid for it. He is the Republican version of Chris Matthews.

I have to wonder if he's coming up with his own content or if he just repeats what he's spoon-fed by Rupert Murdoch. I mean, nobody better exemplifies Murdoch's "orchestra pit theory" (look it up if you don't know) than Beck does.
