It would really help if you had some type of references for some of these claims. I can't really believe all of these, as i'm sure some of these would have made huge news. Regardless, i'll respond...


That is not a "flip-flop". He never changed his opinion on the matter. You obviously have failed to realize that congress as a whole is who is spending the money, and what a President wants is not always what he gets.


When did he say such a thing? If it was pre-9/11, it's kind of irrelevant, don't you think? Sure, he isn't in favor of regime change, but sometimes it must be done. Even that dolt John Kerry recognizes this (or at least he DID...).


I am sick of people constantly bringing this moronic argument up..

Would you like to know WHY he said those three things? Because, sir, all three of those were listed in the multiple UN Security Council resolutions regarding Iraq. Bush cited those resolutions, notably 1441, as his reasons for operation Iraqi Freedom. It is apparent that you have yet to read any of those - why attempt at a forein policy debate, then?


You do realize that this 1% you speak of is actually paying 75% of the nations taxes, right? Naturally, if tax cuts are based on PERCENTS, and man A makes more than man B, who is going to get more of a tax cut?

Let's say i make $100, and you make $10 - i am taxed 30% and you are taxed 20%. Who is keeping more money? Yes, the "rich", but who is PAYING more money? Bingo - the rich. What's so hard to understand about this? Democratic politicians are constantly pushing the cliché that "Bush is for the rich", which is nothing more than propaganda for dinner-time discussion.

THE "RICH" MAKE MORE - SO PROPORTIONALLY THEY WILL KEEP MORE.
Esus! You're heading into true socialist and dare I say.... communist views here!

I see nothing wrong in that though... our (British) system of government at the moment is an, all be it, flawed socialist system and communism is the perfect solution to a lot of ills ... in theory and on paper!... in reality... its track record speaks for itself!!
