Bush on Oprah made me wonder: Do Republicans ever take "Responsibility"?

Bush was on Oprah?

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9YVdWrMM2s]Bush talks to Oprah about presidency - YouTube[/ame]

Bush said he feels sick that American forces never found WMD's in Iraq.

Well duh. His father was president and had been head of the CIA before that. No one destroys another countries military and then turns their back on that country. Only right wingers could believe something so stupid. You know Bush Sr. parked satellites over Iraq. That, plus the sanctions and the spies. If Bush Jr. wanted to know what was in Iraq, he could have asked his father for crying out loud. I swear, only right wingers could believe something so stupid. Bush lied and then he told his lies to America and they believed him. And why not? He was the president. Who knew what he was capable of. Well, now we know what Republicans are capable of. His morality is now the Republican morality.

And he says he didn't see the financial meltdown coming. Why not? Republicans deregulated Wall Street and moved the bulk of the mortgage market from Freddie/Fannie to Wall Street. Scams and sticking to the American people is what Republicans do.

And he says he could have responded quicker to Hurricane Katrina. What, give them crony built carcinogenic trailers sooner?

FEMA Trailers for Katrina Victims Tainted by Toxic Chemical - ABC News

He does say he wants the current president and the country to succeed. Which is more than I can say for Republicans. A party that's lied and robbed and screwed the country for the last 20 years.

Bush on Oprah made me wonder: Do Republicans ever take "Responsibility"?

When you hear Republicans talk about their policies and why they always fail, it's never because the policy was wrong. They never take responsibility.

Examples:

On the downgrade: We got 98% of everything we wanted, but the downgrade was Obama's fault.

On Iraq: This is a very long list which includes:

1. Saddam didn't do what we told him to do.
2. Democrats could have stopped it but didn't.
3. The people of Iraq are ungrateful for what we did for them.
4. Bush's treaty doesn't matter, Obama could have left when he wanted.
5. We "won" but then Obama lost.

Then there is that long list of "Bush never said":

1. Bush never said Saddam was behind 9/11.
2. Bush never said Iraq oil would pay for the war.
3. Bush never said "Mission Accomplished".
4. Bush never said he doesn't think about Bin Laden.

Then there is all the social issues:

Gays can have all the rights of straights, just marry a woman.
She shouldn't have gotten pregnant.
People are poor because they want to be.
Let him die.
Applauding executions.
People in New Orleans could have left. They were warned.

When you point out that only a measly 6% of scientists are Republican, they really go ballistic. But look at their beliefs:

1. Science is a faith.
2. Evolution is a lie.
3. Climate change is a conspiracy.
4. Education is just a piece of paper.
5. Teachers are in it for the huge amount of money they get paid.
6. Universities are all liberal and biased against "conservatives".
7. Schools are broken.

People who think Paul Revere warned the British and we fought for independence in the 1500's who don't believe in evolution and think our scientists are all liberal liars think our schools are broken. Which I guess is why they slash funding for education. How can they judge when the things they say are so laughable? What gives them all this confidence?

Clearly, they are engaging in "voter suppression". If their agenda was good for America and they knew they were doing the right thing, they would trust their policies and let America decide instead of taking that decision away. Are they saying they don't even believe in their own policies?

And Bush on Oprah said he didn't regret any of his decisions. The reason things didn't work out is because of:

Partisan politics
people weren't on board
people in Iraq were ungrateful
He gave Iraqis the chance to form a democratic government, not doing so was their decision

And the reasoning:

They hate us for our freedom - how can Republicans say that and support voter suppression?

What is truly ironic is they insist Americans take responsibility, but refuse to take responsibility for any of their disasters.

I just don't understand these "conservative" values.

Nice strawman you've built there. Have fun whacking at it a crowing about your prowess.
Which amounts to nothing but partisan hackery.
 
Well rdean,just one complaint on your excellent posting below........The words ...VALUES AND REPUBLICANS should NEVER be used in the same sentence,ever. just saying thetor

In a word...no. I just did a thread about their personal responsibility mantra regarding Cain. I got bupkiss from those palookas.
 
Rdean's been 'wondering'. Anyone else see the funny side of that?

The next time that guy has an original thought, will be the first.

Your first mistake is considering Bush a Conservative.

Your second is your constant drumbeat of projection and your unwillingness to admit it.

Your third is giving a tinker's DAMN of what Oprah thinks...it's idiots as you that sniifed around her and took her up on her endorsement of Obama...and now you come here with shit like this to save face?

Nope...not buying what yer sellin'. :eusa_hand:

You must not be old enough to remember how happy the CONSERVATIVES were when the CONSERVATIVE Bush beat that RINO McCain in his first term primaries. :lol:

oh and btw, what's up with you posting everything from huffpo over here? Not a semblance of real thought by yourself?

seriously, why do you only carry posts from huffpo to here?
 
Wow...
Anonymous supposedly sexual gesture equal to a sitting President accused of rape by the victim.. Juanita Broaddrick !
Let's see how that compares to a simple google search.

A sitting President.."Clinton accused of rape" - about 12,000 results of Google..
"Herman Cain accused sexual harassment" - About 75,100,000 results!

Let's see... based on the simple comparison of numbers:
75,100,000 results "Clinton accused of rape"
12,000 results Herman Cain accused sexual harassment"
6,250 times MORE Google results for Cain then Clinton..
Or one Clinton result for every 6,250 Cain !

I know this is hard.. but geez common sense would say the sitting president accused by name of rape should have been more worthy..

But even news stories...
10,900 News stories about Cain Versus 90 stories "Clinton Accused of rape"
For every ONE story about Clinton accused of rape by Broaddrick a named victim there 121 stories about Cain's supposedly sexual harassment of an
"anonymous" victim???

See this is where you liberals just have NO legs to stand on!
Democrat sitting president accused of rape by a named victim little or no coverage...
YET a Black GOP candidate is lynched 121 times for every one Clinton story!

are you talking about something from 20 years ago and comparing it to today?

if you do that kinda shit....why cant he?....
 
They take "responsibility" about as often as Democrats.

you cant say that about Democrats Mick.....not in front of Dean....he wont have none of that....remember.... to Pitaks like Dean....Democrats walk on water......just ask him if they ever screw people over.....he wont answer you,but its fun asking him questions you know he wont answer....
 
RDean needs to get his meds adjusted.

Drugs?.....Dean is like he is without any drugs......just ask him.....he will tell ya....

omg thats scary. please tell me you are joking.

if he's straight we have a real problem in the universe. i'm thinking of re reading revelations tonight.

dont take it from me......just ask him yourself.....he will either say he is or he isnt....OR he will go his usual route and ignore your Question....after all.....we all know ONLY Republicans do drugs....

We both know there are conservatives in the Democratic Party. They are called Blue Dogs. They side with Republicans against the America People. Democrats welcome everyone in their party. They are not 90% white. You know that. Don't play stupid.

Oops, I just realized something. You aren't playing. Sorry. You have my sympathy.

So...you didn't vote for Bush in 2000 and 2004...because he's not a Conservative and you stand firm on your Conservative beliefs.
