Hey cornbiker,
If you have ever read the US Constitution say that Majority Congress means nothing with the Filibuster and Veto Powers. If Democrats had a Super-Majority in Senate (60 members) and House (2/3 control), Bush''s wallet would have been effectively empty on 2-Jan-2007 for the Iraq war after passing the bill on 1-Jan-2007.

Hey Cornbiker, 6 of 7 years of this bogus war were under full Republican control (started the bogus war, pisssed away the bogus war, left the bill for the bogus war). Please.....

I just tune into these message boards and read all the leftwing lunatics ranting and raving and spewing their hate speech and I am reminded of why I''''m a conservative.

I''ve got news for you bootlicker... you went by simple Conservative LIGHT YEARS ago. When you fascist took over our Government there was a BALANCED BUDGET of this there IS no debate. Today we have a deficit of RECORD Amounts... of this also, there is NO debate. When you fascist took over the Treasury we have a SURPLUS, today we face a debt more that TWICE what it was when you took over. Yep folks our debt is 9.5 TRILLION Dollars and growing at the rate of 1 MILLION Dollars a day. Last year the debt cost US, you and I, 450 MILLION Dollars. That was just to pay the INTEREST on all those Treasury Bills gobbled up by the rich. So what in effect you brain dead swastika huggers did was give the rich a Tax Break so they could move our jobs to OTHER nation and then they used the profits from those moves to buy "T" Bills, which we the Tax Payer paid them 450 BILLION of our now much harder earned tax dollars... this all the while our Gas Price has increased 4 fold AND we''ve given tax breaks to those OIL Companies. Just how much failure are you able to accept there Sparky?? Sieg Heil Bush

Wasted is not the word.

The correct word is "siphoned" away, to Bush cronies and Halliburton.

War is great for business!

All a part of the Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield, Wolfawitz legacy ... they''ve left all us a terrible, terrible mess! America''s reputation and credibility around the world has been damaged for years. Obama is the one to restore our standing ... let''s give him a chance to speak out on the issues ... Please.

I''m absolutely amazed that anyone would still be spouting that "Conservative Drivel" after the plunge our country has taken in the last 7 1/2 years.

If anyone could credit the Bush administration with doing anything beneficial to the nation as a whole I''d love to hear it.

C''mon guys wake up , war, recession, loss of credibility and the moral high ground, un-precedented incompetence in government, Rumsfeld, Gonzalez,"Brownie" etc etc, what more would anyone need to prove this stuff doesn''t work.
