hungry you ever get tired of making it up as you go? Guess not, there was not one bit of truth in your statement. Somehow libs likeyou have been able to convince yourselves that the Dems were absent or in comas when these governemt agencies were established, utter nonsense from the mind that has invented it.
The BIGGEST truth in my statement is that you STILL cannot name ONE positive thing that Bush did for America.
As for the rest of my statement, simply compare the hurricane response between hurricanes Andrew and Katrina. During Andrew, the emergency supplies were driving through 80 MPH winds in the tail of the storm, and during Katrina, "Brownie" didn't even know that there were people in the Superdome, while CNN was SHOWING him the LIVE VIDEO FEED!!!! - Reply to this comment

- hungry, success is perspective and you have none, your biased daily false diatribes are utter nonsense , wht good would it do to point out acomplishments if idiots like you refuse to recognize them? Brainwashed ingrates like you are waste of time, one has to recognize reality to have an intelligent debate, which of course leaves you out.
- I hope he changes his snarky condensending attitude. Jerk

One success?

Laughable!!!
You give him credit for the Dow and gas prices when he TOOK office, but ignore the $4 gas prices that existed for a year, $3 gas prices that existed for MOST of his presidency, and the 8,200 Dow average when he left office?!?!
You're such a revisionist!!! - Reply to this comment
- Since when is it a "constitutional procedure"?
And why in the world do you think that OBSTRUCTING A VOTE, could EVER be more democratic than putting an issue to a majority vote?!?!
You two clowns have heard of VOTING, haven't you?
It's amazing how you guys will SH** all over this country and every principle it was founded on to uphold your destructive neo con policies.
What's next - are you going to scream and cry because I say that lobbying and lobbyists should be outlawed? - Reply to this comment

johndevine, not as amazing as not being able to recognize the fact that it required both sides of the isle to make policy. My statement is the truth yours is selfinduced, brainwashed rationalization. Unfortunately when one is able to ignore truth and fact and hate based on falsehood then tany intelligent debate is not possible.
Translation: "No, I cannot name ONE positive thing that the conservative republicans - particularly Bush - accomplished during their six year reign of failure."
quickly101: Homeland security is the BIGGEST bureaucratic nightmare EVER conceived. It took fully functional agencies, (like FEMA and Border Patrol), and made them completely dysfunctional, while causing their budgets to SOAR through the roof!! - Reply to this comment

- In the US fake democracy,the democrats must sell out to the lobbyists when they are the majority-The Reagan dems put his tax cut for the rich in& later under Bush,when a minority,claimed they could not stop more tax reductions for the rich.

- hungry, why is it you can't even realize your own words contradict your statement. America had a democracy right up until today, now complete control rests with one party, get it? Guess not!

- Are you insane ??? Why do you think the founders of this county included the fillibuster ? where do you get off suggesting a constitutional procedure be "eliminated" now that you have a dictatorship in control.....It doesn't need to be eliminated, you have a fillibuster proof majority, so go ahead and pass whatever you want......oh wait, not all 60 Democrats want to join Obama in destroying this country....sorry, your problem...your party

- He along with Congress in the aftermath of 9-11 pushed the Homeland Security Cabinet position through. Other than that I cannot think of a thing he did for the common man. He was a representative of the wealthy elite as are all republicans. I don't know how a person of average means could ever vote for one. Their stands on social issues are a sham to get the common man to vote for them. Obama one upped them when he instructed his justice department to defend the Defense of Marriage Act.

- It always amazes me that republicans refuse to recognize their responsibility in the totally failed policies of thier party.

- Certainly Democrats will do better than the abject failure of all of the policies of republicans.
And even worse, in the face of clear and obvious failure in all areas, repubicans do not see the damage that they have created. - Reply to this comment

It is sooo tiresome to come to these posts every day and read the brainwashed libs claim it was all one sides fault when in reality this is the first filibuster proof congress with a sitting president in many decades, in fact the senate was only seperated by a couple of votes through recent history. It has taken both sides of the isle to make policy, fund and start wars but the ingrates at these posts have been able to convince themselves the poor dems had nothing to do with anything. The only question that remains is how long these same simpletons will continue to wrongly blame the repubs for policy they truly have nothing to do with any longer.
The democrats didn't filibuster anywhere NEAR as much as the republicans did, when they were in the minority.
I'm sure that they regret not using that anti-democratic process that the republicans used like a battle-axe, but it doesn't mean that the democrats were wrong for NOT using it.
The "filibuster" needs to be permanently eliminated, and this would be the perfect opportunity to outlaw it - now that the republicans don't have enough votes to save their "crutch". - Reply to this comment

- That is the truth. And it is the way that it will always be when you have a diverse party. Unlike the republican party, Democrats do not necessarily fall into line with the party leadership.
That's the way a democracy should be. - Reply to this comment
