George Bush is a good president.

1. He conceeds my point on No Child Left Behind. -Wrong. I conceded that I thought it was a bad idea, but not for the same reasons. The NCLB Act was government moving in to fix a problem. But governmet is the problem, so it cannot be a solution. Schools get run down because of general clumsiness in funding that is inherent of all governmet. Private interests are much better money appropriators. 2. No proof of WMDs. -Wrong. Evidence is strong. Though the weapons were mostly outdated, as is the arsenal of most Third World dictators, they were still very dangerous and capable of producing casualties similar to or greater than 9/11. http://www.iris.org.il... http://www.foxnews.com... http://mensnewsdaily.com... 3.Speculation with Syria. -Be careful who you accuse of speculation. YOU are the one who made the gross exaggerations, remember? Syria DID suddenly pop up with a weapons stockpile right after we invaded. http://www.2la.org... 4. Nuclear weapons. -Saddam Hussein had intentions to use the nukes against Iran and Israel, if his grudes are to be held to him. The only reason he didn't is because we kept delaying him, destryoing his reactors, and costing him a lot of money. That's why he never used them. We wouldn't let him. He tried in '83 and '91, and tried to build it in secret, as I confirmed with the yellowcake incident. You're argument is the speculative one, and the mark of someone who does little research into what his opponent said. 5. Why is it American responsibility to fight back? We did not help in Darfur or Rwanda. I don't see why invading Iraq is suddenly so important. -First of all, Darfur and Rwanda have nothing to do with Iraq. It's a poor comparison, truthfully. Although I do regret America not doing it's job and stopping these atrocities, I don't regret allowing nukes into the hands of crazed fascistic dictators. They pose a threat to America AND her allies. That is enough reason. 6.He launched Scud missiles against Israel and Saudi Arabia in the Gulf War, and they could have been tipped with chemical ot biological warheads. Thankfully, they were not. But you're right, terrorism can't be stopped, but only because we haven't noticed the cause. Terrorism is the limbs that we're hacking at. Islam is the roots. - Islam is not a race. Good job with that, Elmer Fudd. It's actually a religion, and you can't promote ethnic cleansing against something that spans all races and continents. I do not call for this, so you would do well to watch what words you put into my mouth. It's a religion whose verses are used as marching orders by every terrorist we fight. There muct be some connection. And I know there is. How, you say? Well, I've read their holy book, the Koran. Have you? If not, you have no place arguing this with me. 7.Economy. -Actually, no African nation has a more powerful currency than us. I just checked it. The only nations with a more powerful currency are Bahrain, Cyprus, Jordan, Kuwait, Malta, Omar, the UK, and the Euro. No African nations among them. Yes, the dollar has dropped. Yes the economy is weakening. But this is all a natural process of the free market. The economy goes through ups and downs, recessions and booms. The dollar's value falls, everyone with a more powerful currency comes to buy cheap, top notch American goods. That's what keeps the economy rolling until the next economic boom. The Euro has supremacy over the dollar, but it will soon pass. The Euro runs off the collective capital of all the participating European states. Their spending patterns and projections of growth will doom their currency in time. Then the dollar will become more powerful again. 8.He raised gas prices, making transport difficult. -That is what you said. If you do not mean that, be more clear with your bumbling statements. Bush didn't put price controls on the oil industry because Bush is a businessman. he know that price controls are more damaging than the actual rising prices. When controls are set, you force the supplier to sell for less than the market determines what the commodity is worth. When that happens, they can't keep up with demand because their capital is restricted. This could force many companies out of business, damaging the economy further. Clinton took steps, but the economy suffered as a result. The only good thing he ever did in office was working witht the congressional Republicans to balance the budget. Otherwise, to put it rather crudely, he sucked. 9.Bush, who signed this into law, is more of a threat to America that the terrorists. -Now, this statement should be the hallmark of your argument, for the reason that's so incomprehensively moronic that it deserves not to be answered. You should be ashamed of yourself. It only seeks to prove how insane you really are. The law only targets SUSPECT individuals, not your everyday, average America. You have nothing to fear because you are not a terrorist. Terrorists have something to fear, because they are terrorists. It keeps and eye on all those organizations that are fronts for terrorist organizations and the men who run them. For instance, the Holy Land Foundation was a found to be a front for the terrorist group Hamas, even though it stated it was raising funds for Palestinian refugees. 10.Bush, who signed this into law, is more of a threat to America that the terrorists. -Stop playing this stupid card. Please. It insults me. What we know is that the terrorists are Muslim, Middle Eastern males, so they should be picked for special scrutiny. Little old ladies are frisked at the airport because of that stupid and inneficient random screening process. We are more likely to catch terrorists if we target the specific group they tend to come from. This is not racism, but practicality. 11.A few websites stating that there is no link between Al - Qaeda, or other terrorist organizations, and Iraq.. -What does that have to do with him not doing anything good for the country? Iraq didn't need to have connections to al-Qaeda. We said we would fight terrorist everywhere, not just al-Qeada. It is widely known the Saddam gave shelter to terrorists and provided monetary gifts to the families of suicide bombers in Palestine. 12.The amnesty law from Senator McCain was never passed. If you're going to argue don't make up fake events. And if you count the picket fence as the border fence we have now, you obviously dont understand that illegal immigration is still hapening. -Remember what I said about words in the mouth? I NEVER said the bill passed. I said Bush supported it. It was a horrible idea, and Bush was wrong to support it. I know illegals still come in. The fence is being put up in some places, but we need more security to stop the bastards. Comprende, amigo? 13.Show me one positive increase in the economy that Bush caused (not inflation induced). -He it is. Read it and weep. http://www.cato.org... 14. Job growth over the last 18 months has fallen short of administration predictions... -Lastly, the job market is being destroyed by the loss of manufacturing, once the backbone of the American economy, to China and Mexico. It's all due to NAFTA, a Clintonian policy. You quickly learn free trade isn't fair trade. NAFTA is the worst legacy of Clinton's presidency. A war on the middle class, that is. Sorry about the length. Most of it was mine.
