President Bush said the public's decision to reelect him was a ratification of his approach toward Iraq and that there was no reason to hold any administration officials accountable for mistakes or misjudgments in prewar planning or managing the violent aftermath.

"We had an accountability moment, and that's called the 2004 elections," Bush said in an interview with The Washington Post. "The American people listened to different assessments made about what was taking place in Iraq, and they looked at the two candidates, and chose me."

Yeeehaaa, another Reps vs. Dems thread, we haven't had any of those in a while \:D/

Come on, Lecter. Is that even appropriate? His statements are obviously going to lead to debate; the Dems aren't going to like him any more for it...he's just alienating the public more.

You mean the public that elected him? Besides that Dems would NEVER like him anymore. This is a fact. Honestly, I do think that there should be a thread created about all the miss-steps Bush has made where everyone can get mad over it and we won't need a new thread each time because frankly, anything Bush dies, the liberals obviously dislike. Which isn't a surprise considering that he is not liberal. It'd probably be the other way round if Kerry was elected and I'd react in exactly the same way.

Yes! Let's all just sit here and jerk each other off in "feel good" threads instead of engaging each other in intelligent conversation! What an idea!

:razz:

Did I approve or disapprove either?

But this "intelligent conversations" are becoming as predictable as a romcom starring Meg Ryan.

It all ends in the consensus: "Bush is a really bad president and an idiot" Most of the posters will just shale the heads and bring in comments like "OMG" or whatever...then occasionally a couple of Reps will jump in and say some words of defense and then they'll go too and it'll all end in the consensus I have stated above with nothing having been gained or lost.

This is more about his character, though. You might not like Kerry's constant use-of-hands-while-speaking-endlessly-in-a-monotone, but, would he EVER say something like this?

I looked at RasmussenReports today to find info on his job approval, and, damnit, it's so frickin' depressing...

Peter Griffin: Uhh... y-yeah?

Have you met Krem? With him here, no political topics end in the consensus you've created. He won't let it.

And then Goldie will start a thread asking which is your favorite Meg Ryan romcom with a poll and no opinion. :razz:

That was for you Lecter

I'm an independent.

It is more that Kerry lost than Bush won.

Kerry like most current democrats did not stand for anything. Just being Bush lite is not enough. Kerry DID vote to give the authorization to this moronic leader to conduct an illogical and expensive war. He did not show leadership on that issue. That issue decided the race for Bush, since he made the race more about Kerry than himself.

Bush is a moron. So what? Kerry is a bigger moron for losing to him.

I brought up his name, but thought it'd be unfair to single him out, so deleted that part from my post. Basically, if Krem decides to defend the Reps in here, it'll end in an infinite case of "intelligence masturbation", an endless debate which no one will win and everyone will stick with their thoughts considering how persistant most people are.

Isin't this what all debates amount too, though? It's very rare when someone changes their opinion over the course of a single debate.

Answer me this question: Would any amount of debates in this world persuade you that Bush is actually a good and smart president?
