of the 51% some odd percentage that voted for him....I'm sure most of them only voted for him because John Kerry was actually THAT much worst.
and i still don't understand why can;t you have some candidate who will be really good 😖

We will always have a difficult time finding a descent candidate as long as we have a two party system. As it is now, this country is run by corporations and special inrests. They have the luxury of wanting something done, and simply buying the candidate that hasn't been bought by another company that wants the opposite. When this country takes into consideration the fact that a third, fourth even fifth political party is possible...even beneficial. There doesn't have to be only two points of view.
Nah, I'm not a Bolshevik. Botankus was actually right: I won't be happy until everyone agrees with me. I guess I'm really a moderate fascist. But, I don't want to spoil the potential good thing we have going on here in the US. But, if people don't want to vote for whats best for everyone, then I see no problem in making them.
He should look at the real issues facing your country...
1. like a population to big to support in 50-70 years.
2. Um almost all social programs going in debt in 20 years!
3.Should stop religion getting into politics. Its the worst thing as you can do. I love religion but people get blind faith in it and it impair judgement on issues.
Lol as that Judy person said on CNN. Bush's strength has been foreign issues which he know and knew nothing about. Sad. If the Democrats had someone half as good as Clinton in this election would have gone to the Democrats. Anyways, Bush so far has not done any thigh to idiotic. Lets hope he doesn't take over a country.
However in my eyes forever, he is a greedy, ultraconservative, over religious idiot.
Captain as i write and few minutes later posted it arrived after another post and the bolche thing could have sounded serious, so let me explain (the bolche was kidding it's something I always said and) I agree with you and "your followers", just because here we have a 3 party system and it works, except when some gorillas take it over.
Philosophers who advocates anti democratic... well it's the best we have, but you can improve it for sure. The lobotomy answer said it all about the thread, and i posted somewhere my opinion about Republicans.
BTW, when did we reach critical mass, we (users) can turn any thread into BS or gold.

Here's my $0.02:a) Stop the corruption in the current iteration of the GOP. All politicians are corrupt, but, please, Tom Delay makes Al Capne look like a saint (sans-ordered-killing)
b) Adopt a foreign policy that embraces diplomacy before military action. if you find yourself looking at war, chances are you haven't exhausted all your options first.
c) Stop trying to make it seem like Republicans are being persecuted. You hold a majority in both houses of congress and you hold the white house. You're not being persecuted, you're feeling the proverbial windiness at the proverbial top.
d) Read the US Constitution and the Declaration of Independence and try to grasp what the nation's founders had in mind. They fled England because they were being persecuted by a powerful religious group for their beliefs. The GOP is now persecuting people who don't fit in with THEIR religious beliefs.
e) FFS, when the PM of Israel gives you an ancient mesopotamian artifact and a metal statue carved by his own daughter, as a gift, do not return the favor by giving him a pair of Ostrich ranchers' boots with US and Israeli flags on them.
f) Repeal the PATRIOT act and actually think of ways to improve nat'l security without infringing upon every American's constitutional rights.
g) Stop Lying. Period.
h) Realize your family is from New England, originally, and you're the only Bush son with a twang. Your "Folksy, Aw-Shucks demeanor" is getting worn out.
i) Fire Rumsfeld. That man has done worse things for the reputation of the US than the rest of you combined. "Old Europe," my ass.
j) Say what you mean, and mean what you say. If you claim to support the troops, then don't cut veterans' benefits, don't send them out to war ill-equpped.
k) Drop the preemptive Warfare doctrine. That shit starts fights, and someone's going to get hu-- oh wait, ~1600 US soldiers are dead, thousands upon thousands are injured, and god knows how many "brown people" have gotten killed because of that horrendous screwball concoction.
l) Don't Lie. I'm serious about this. I know you're a politician, and you have to lie to fit in, but please, can't you just throttle back on the BS for just a little while?
m) Social Security Privatization is a farce. Few Republicans support it now. Drop the issue while you still can.
n) Take "cool" lessons from Clinton. I'm not saying that you need to get a hummer in the oval office, but Clinton knew how to bend his words and make people like him.
o) Rein in federal spending, or make plans to generate more revenue. it's hurting the US Dollar, and most of us don't have the finds saved up to survive a crash.
p) Don't count your "Mission Accomplished" banners before they hatch. I mean, don't count your eggs before they hatch.
q) You used to be the party of small government. So far you've done a lot of usurping power from the states by way of federal mandates. Let the states decide what they want to do, don't push constitutional amendments banning something you think is a "sin."
r) The media is not "lib'rul." If anything, the US media is far to the right of almost every other national news network around the world.
s) Don't rule with a bible in one hand and a gavel in the other.
t) Apologize to the world for all the FUD you've been spreading. That stuff never gets anything done.
u) Stop paying journalists (cough -- Armstrong William) to be nice to the horsesh*t legislation you're trying to ram thgouh congress.
Nice list!

Thanks 🙂 I try to be as relevant as possible when listing things Bush can do to be a better president. Those are a fraction of the bare minimum. However, the rest are more personal changes as opposed to public changes. Such as reading more often, reading the articles as opposed to the headlines in publications, etc. I think he could be much better if he followed my suggestions on here alone, without the rest of the stuff I have in mind. But, he'll always be just another politician to me.

OMG who CARES? 🙄 FFS the election is over already! Absolutely nothing is going to change until we get a new president. Suck it up and accept it. I'd pay good money to never see another damn political thread in this section.
Who cares? Hmm...Maybe the people posting legitimate complaints in this thread, instead of simple spam...It always amuses me when people complain about a thread they have no interest in! It's such a strange thing to do if you think about about it...Wait a second...Ohhhhh, now I understand.
NOTE TO Jedi P: Please pay specific attention to the word 'think'.
Anyway...
Manny321, Was the point of your post to make confusing, cluttered contradictions? If yes, good work...
For example:
3.Should stop religion getting into politics. Its the worst thing as you can do. I love religion but people get blind faith in it and it impair judgement on issues.
You initally say religion should stay out of politics, then you say that you love religion - all of them, or just one in particular!?!?!?!?! - and finally you castigate Bush for being an "over religious idiot"!
Finally, I would like to quote this:

I assume the language barrier is getting in the way. What do you mean by: "Your followers"? I have no followers. Unless that too is meant as an out of turn statement?
Aside from that, my hope that there will someday be a multi-party system in the united states holds up. Why be limited to a two party system, when the constitution allows for more than two points of view?
okay i should be more clear. this 2nd term he is doing a better job then last term and still has to do something really stupid this term.
About religion, i practise it but that stays between me and my place of worship. Religion however should have no say in government. Bush can love his religion however i think he is using it to decide on issues and thats bad.
