That commercial is BS...Prior to McCain running for President he was considered pretty much the most bi-partisan senator on the republican side. He has a track record of reaching across the aisle to work with Democrats. Obama on the other hand to my knowledge has never worked with republicans on anything. And Republicans have not messed this country up in the past 8 years. Just because the President is a Republican does not mean it is the partys fault. Make no mistake about it the economy took a shit on 9/11. No President in the history of the United States has had to deal with circumstances like Bush has. And finally, Bush cannot run for another term, he shouldn't factor into the election at all being as how Bush and McCains ideas differ quite a bit.
How can you say they would have been crappy presidents if 1) they were never elected and 2) your guy (Bush) hasn't exactly passed with flying colors?
He didn't say they would have been crappy Presidents, he said they were crappy candidates. Difference.
No that's Hillary. In any case. I don't know why you insist on peddling a statistic that's inherently misleading.
That's not necessarily true. We could speculate about how well Gore and Kerry would do as President. We can definitely however, point out the mistakes and missteps of both campaigns and conclude they were crappy candidates to run against Bush.
People speculated that Clinton was going to be a bad president, lack of experience, blah blah. I would submit he had a rough first two years, then turned into one of the better presidents. As a candidate, he was elite.
How in the fuck is Bush my guy? I can say that they would have been crappy presidents now the same way I said it then.
what does a poor campaign have to do with the quality of the candidate? Regardless, they essentially tied Bush . . . it seems to me that you are implying that either Bush made similarly-sized missteps and mistakes, or that Kerry and Gore were just superior candidates that should have won.
Nobody's actually going to directly answer the 4 simple questions I asked in the first post? Just make excuses?
No. Nothing. All politicians are bozos. Two party politics is deciding which is the lesser of two evils. I couldn't find a 4th question.
How many fans of the Democratic Party are there on this forum? Almost everyone here comes off like an independent that isn't tied to any specific party, regardless of how they vote. There are only a few that seem like they could fit in the crowd at the conventions that have taken place the past couple weeks.
What is your reaction to this statement, which ends with a question mark? What is your reaction to this statement, which includes a question mark (what have these people actually done...?). Why are the troops still in Iraq? Do you still support the Democrats even though they lied about bringing them home? Are you happy they approved new domestic spying programs, the Patriot Act, and wanted more severe torture of the worst of the worst of the detainees? Why do you support them still? I'll ask #5 here: How do you like the deficit doubling under their watch? Constitutionally, the house which is dominated by Democrats, hold the purse strings.
