Your guy won, and you get one day to gloat. Then what? Do you expect peace? Prosperity? Or is it enough that the “liberals” are unhappy? If there were four more years of economic stagnation, war, and orange alerts, will you feel like the Bush presidency was a success? What would it take for you to feel disappointed?
Frankly, I expect more of the same and I am happy with that. I approve of most of what the President did in his first term. If I hadn’t, I wouldn’t have voted for him.
I suspect that what they want is not only to forbid gay marriage, but for Bush to appoint uber-right wing SC justices who will reverse Lawrence v Texas* and re-criminalize gay relationships entirely.
It’s open season on gay people in this country.
So you expect and approve of more war and debt. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.
This smells like a thinly-veiled Pit thread…
I’m not sure which page of the rule book has the “one day to gloat” provision. Could you point that out?
I spent the better part of four years being told I was … not simply disagreed with… not simply mistaken… but either evil, selfish, or downright ignorant for supporting President Bush, even though I took pains to point out that my support of him was not uncritical. I spent the better part of four years listening to the SMDB Usual Suspects repeat each others bon mots about how stupid the President was, and how no sensible, intelligent, rational person could conceivably vote for Bush, and none would.
With that backdrop, I’d say there’s a week’s worth of gloating at a minimum, extended one day for every day your boy Kerry refuses to concede.
But I admit that’s just a guess – as I say, I haven’t checked the rule book.
Well, if Bush supporters can actually tell me how four more years of war and debt will make us a stronger country, then I’m up for it.
Well, what is your answer to the question? Forget Kerry. Just tell me how Bush will lead us into a brighter tomorrow. Will he kill every last terrorist? Make up with our alienated allies? Create jobs? How will he do those things.
It’s very simple actually. With Bush back in office, the middle class will be on the path towards dissolving completely. Class wars will ensue, and then REAL change will finally be allowed to occur within our government.
It’s on page 47.
Totally understandable that you didn’t see it, since it’s sandwiched inexplicably between rules that state the official cry is “Viva la Revolucion” even if you don’t speak a Romance language and that personal space is directly related to degree of cleanliness, not inversely as most people would like.
Bad editing, really.
So you’re a member of the Communists for Bush?
Bush will work to keep the tax cuts permanant. This is a good thing; they are a major component of the conomic recovery we’re enjoying now.
He will work to strengthen voucher programs, giving low-income families a chance to opt out of failing school systems.
With his strengthened support in the Senate, he’ll be on track to appoint strict constructionists to the federal bench, including a few Supreme Court spots. This will, hopefully, continue to mean that “substantive due process,” the bane of legal analytical methods, will be weakened, although admittedly too much case law exists for it to be simply erased.
He will continue to use the real threat America’s military might against nations and nation-states that sponsor terrorism.
He will continue to embrace the funding of faith-based outreach prgrams, enabling the social service dollars spent by the government to do more good.
That’s what I’m looking forward to, anyway.
Nor did they.
This is basically a state, and not federal, issue.
No Bush supporter here, but shouldn’t the real ones expect the things that Bush promised us? You know, like a democratic Iraq that respects human rights and serves to transform the Middle East. An economy that kicks ass and creates millions of high-quality jobs. Keeping the nation safe from terrorism.
I’m not holding my breath on those, of course, but that was what he promised. Let’s see if he delivers.
One good thing about Bush’s re-election is that his policies won’t be geared towards getting elected again in 08. Unless of course…
And what will those policies be?
Also, please finish the second sentence.
It seemed that many Democrats thought Bush’s policies were solely intended to get him re-elected. Of course that’s a bit absurd–Isn’t that the point?
The second sentence was …unless he manages to get the 2-term limit changed.
I don’t mind debt in a good cause. Or war in a good cause. Or a president that has the balls to embark on either in a good cause.
Sir, you have no class whatsoever.
