I dislike
George Bush as much as the next guy, but most of his criticisms are either rhetorical or flat out wrong. I'm going to cut out the stuff we've heard over and over.
1. Turned the largest US surplus into the largest deficit in American history, then gives tax cuts when he should be raising taxes to get more money for the country. (And of course, he only gives tax cuts to all of his rich buddies.)
Raising taxes isn't going to fix the economy at the rate we're spending you dumb shit. Anyone who thinks the tax cuts is what caused the recession knows nothing about even basic economics. What cause the recession is the massive spending when the
government doesn't the money. It's so bad they raid the Social Security (more reasons why it sucks), borrow from China, or just print money. You know who can
cut the spending? Congress. Guess who controls Congress: Democrats. When you
cut taxes,
people have more money in their pockets to invest into the economy. The
government doesn't regulate the economy because this is not
communism. If we ever
cut spending, we may as well
cut taxes.
6. Passes "Clean Air Act" which actually makes the air dirtier.
That and the act is a stupid idea anyway.
8. Quits the Kyoto Protocol because it would make his rich buddies actually spend some money to reduce global warming, and God forbid anyone has to spend money.
The Kyoto Protocol does three stupid things:
Work with the United Nations, spend more fucking money despite the recession, and follow environmentalism when there's nothing wrong with the damn planet.
9. Throws ultimatums at the American
people that only a complete
idiot could fall for (and a lot have) like "You're with us or you're with the terrorists" and basically just gets America to be
loyal to him out of fear.
Then explain why his approval rating is one of the lowest since Truman.
11. Has said enough stupid things to fill 265 pages of "Bushisms" books.
When Clinton fucked up, did we ever call it a "Clintonism"? No, we just called him a dumbass (if they weren't, I sure as
hell was).
12. Gets elected into office after losing by over 10,000 votes. Do you think it's a coincidence that his
brother was the governor of the state that the whole election depended on in 2000??
Which is precisely there shouldn't be democracies: only benevolent totalitarianism.
