Six Straight years of GOP Power. Let's list their accomplishments:

[The T]

Changing your tune? You said that bush* passed a stimulus. Now you're just making stuff up about what bush and obama said. Neither said "dump money in the system and fix it"

And after wondering why the OP wants to review the accomplishments from the last 8 years, now you want to talk about FDRs' record???

You're a joke.

You are so ******* stupid and full of hate all I can say is plz go **** yourself. Another worthless liberal hack you seem to be…

Another wingnut gets caught in lies, and is rendered incapable of backing up his wingnut claims

I accept your surrender

The only thing you proved is you didn't approve when Reps did it but when Dems do it you're 100% on board. You're a useless hack.

I tried to convince the hack of this earlier...no go. Best to ignore he/she/it.

I know, I like to give people a chance to prove they are something more than a sellout. It's a 100% fact that if you did not like Bush based on his policy you CAN'T be ok with Obama/Dems as they support and expand near ALL of Bush/Reps policies... It's not even up for debate haha.

In every case the argument is either, Obama/Dems do it different or it's because somehow Bush despite not being in office has Obama/Dem congress on fuckin lockdown... Either way, all of Bush’s evil plans are still being down haha… Weird how hacks can’t see the obvious.

Bush is more popular than Obama. I know you LibTurds gotta' just hate that!

Tell us ObamaBots, what will be Obamas' excuse for not running for a second term? Could be any bullshit reason really. What a fuckin' massive failure he's been. Maybe next time you'll look at a persons' qualifications rather than his skin color eh? Dipshits every one of you.

Oh and has our image in the world been restored yet like you all said it would? Of course not.

If wingnuts didn't lie, they'd have nothing to say

Obama has a higher favorability than bush* does

Read it and weep libturd:
Dem survey shows George W. Bush more popular than Obama in vulnerable congressional districts | San Francisco Examiner

If you get down on your knees and beg, maybe "Shrub" Bush will come back and clean up the mess you Communists have done to our country.

I mean it, you need to humble yourself and beg for it.

Stupid wingnut doesn't understand what "in vulnerable congressional districts" means

 

[Intense]

Can someone help me out here?

Republicans controlled both houses and the Presidency for six straight years. Even during the last two years of the Bush administration, the Senate was 49 to 49 with two independents.

First, what did Republicans accomplish during that time? With all that power and control?

Second, what is it they expect to accomplish now by controlling the house? Will it be to continue on the same course or will there be something different?

What Power? Gridlock? Democratic Obstruction?

All the Power and control?????

Let's check that math, shall we Rep.= 49 / Dem. =49+2=51 That's not even counting McCain, Graham, and Specter.

In wingnut world, when I say I don't support Obama's Aghan policy, it means I do support Obama's Afghan policy.

Face the truth, wingnut. You falsely claimed that Obama had not CHANGED policy on a long list of issues. I proved that Obama had indeed changed many of those policies. Even YOU agreed that some policies had changed.

So why won't you admit you were wrong?

If you're going to refer to FDR, why complain about the OP's reference to the republican congress under bush*?

Could it be because, like the other wingnuts, you'd rather whine about the democrats and Obama?

And here you go backing away from your original claim that Obama had not changed bush*'s policies and make up stuff about "Bush despite not being in office has Obama/Dem congress on fuckin lockdown"

Tell us again how issuing an executive order prohibiting torture is supporting or expanding a bush* policy?

The Wacko makes it sound like he thinks Bush is hiding under his bed or in his closet. What a ******* Loon. Unlike Clinton and Gore, this last Administration has been very quiet till now.

Two Straight years of Democrat Power. Let's list their accomplishments:

Can someone help me out here?

Democrats controlled both houses and the Presidency for the last two years. Even held Congress during the last two years of the Bush administration.

What did Democrats accomplish during that time? With all that power and control?

Answer: Deficit was tripled.

Riddle me this.

Who authors the Budget?

obama , he just authored the budget for 11 ...oh wait, oops. Oh and authored the budget the year before but congress didn't pass it, they did what they did this year pass supplementals.....obama was in so they added a bloated pork ridden Omni bus bill to round it out...this year as I inferred they punted completely for next year.......whoops...did miss anything? Oh wait; the congress can add anything they like to it, pass it and the pres. can veto it, but alas.....

Actually, it was Avory who went on the rant about bush and how obama was just like him.

And yeah, avory is a wacko wingnut

 

[sangha]

I see that you will never admit that you were wrong to say that obama has not changed bush*s policies.

But who knows? Maybe someday your testicles will descend

Huh, even Wikipedia proves your failure about 6 uninterrupted years of GOP control of congress after 2001.


In the senate

January 3 – 20, 2001 :Tom Daschle (D)
January 20 – June 6, 2001 : Trent Lott (R)
June 6, 2001 -- 2003 : Tom Daschle (D)
2003 – 2007 : Bill Frist (R)
2007 - Present : Harry Reid (D)

In the House

1999 - 2007 : Denny Hastert (R)
2007- Present : Nancy Pelosi (D)

So I'm hardly seeing a six year stretch of total GOP power. Oh sure they held the house for 8 really, but it is amazing at how little was done with a friggen elitist republican in power.

Pop went hairnet's theory... yet again.

Try again:

Composition of Congress, by Political Party, 1855?2010 — Infoplease.com

From 1995 to 2009, Republicans held the Senate by either a tie or an outright majority. Remember who breaks a tie. Think really hard.

Answers.com - Who breaks a tie vote in the US Senate

From 1995 to 2007, Republicans held the House by a majority.

Oops.

[rdean]

Can you believe these right wingers? They have to be eating peyote. What else could explain the delusions.

Look at the things they say.

Bush is more popular

Obama is following Bush's policies exactly

Bush left a good economy

Bush left us safe

Obama is all wrong

Obama is following Bush's policies

The spinning and twisting and spinning.

They're called "Whirling Dervish".

 

[rdean]

I realize this is the internet and because of that people asume a lot about others. You have no proof I am a wingnut.

Can you show me where I gave a "reason why it was ok for republicans to fail?"

I dare you to show me where I said that...

My question was what is the point of the thread as it is not news to anyone. Bush had a approval rating of like 22%-30% by the end... Bush still had some Dems and independants that supported him *because* of the war, meaning that 22-30% could not even cover a majority of his Republican base... Conservatives or Republicans, however you want to title it, neither supported or approved of Bush. So again, what the **** is the point of the thread being it was not even news 4 years ago?

Poll: Bush's popularity hits new low - CNN

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/custom/2006/02/02/CU2006020201345.html

Bush's Final Approval Rating: 22 Percent - CBS News 22%

If you're not a wingnut, then why haven't you noticed all the wingnuts trying to defend bush* by trying to change the topic instead of answering the question

Didn't you notice the complete absence of wingnuts admitting that bush* AND THE GOP were and are complete and miserable failures?

This thread is not just about bush*.

My understanding of the thread is that the low life, bigoted racist known as Rdean started it... People see Rdean and know there is no answer that will make him happy as he is not looking for an answer.

There is simply no answer to the question the OP asked, it has no purpose at this point in time as it does not matter. It is widely known Bush and the Republicans failed, you know that whole fracture in the Republican party and TPM thing that happened? I even provided links showing Bush had lack of support from his base, do I need to provide links of the even lower (like 12% or something) approval rating of Bush’s congress? I also think the Dem congress has a worse approval rating than the Republican congress did, but I’m sure I’d get attacked for mentioning that…

Please don't waste a moment of my life trying to define the TPM as nothing more than a branch of the GOP... Just trying to cut you off ahead if time IF that is where you would try and go.

How about you tell me in what way is the question Rdean asked relevant today?

As I said, if the republicans of the past failed, and the Dems of today (and the past) failed what is the point of the thread? Is someone trying to say that the future Republican house will fail? Again, what's the ******* point being the Dem Senate/House and President have failed? If we play this game of Reps failed in the past so they are doomed to fail in the future, then being Dems fit the same Bill I'm left wondering who would be retarded enough to support the Dems, if they use that shit for logic... Who the **** cares and what’s the point of the thread as we are fucked until a third party emerges being both the parties have failed...

Who the **** cares and what’s the point of the thread
The reason someone doesn't like the question is because they don't like the answer.

Strange, the number of "assumptions". Republicans saying Democrats failed doesn't mean Democrats failed.

Democrats being voted out of office doesn't mean they failed in office. It means they lost a political campaign. It means the 90% white Republican Party was motivated to vote against a "Muslim, terrorist, socialist, Nazi who wasn't born in this country and who may be the anti Christ".

Quarter of Republicans Think Obama May Be the Anti-Christ | LiveScience

Americans have some extreme views of President Obama, with a new controversial survey suggesting that 40 percent of adults believe he is a socialist, and about a quarter of survey participants thinking the president is a racist, anti-American and even doing things Hitler did.

The whammy: 14 percent of Americans say President Barack Obama may be the Antichrist. When split by political party, 24 percent of Republicans and 6 percent of Democrats viewed the nation's leader in this way.

 

[Wry Catcher]

They passed Ted Kennedy's NCLB bill.

They stole and passed Medicare D.

They passed massively bloated transportation and ag spending bills.

They passed extension after extension after extension of unemployment handouts.

They created an entirely new cabinet-level bureaucracy --Department of Fatherland Security-- and did a hostile takeover of airport "security".

If a president and congress controlled by goobers with a (D) by their names had accrued such a list of "accomplishments", knuckle dragging mouth breathers like you would be proclaiming those years as a great success.

Nothing funnier than seeing a wingbut recommend a post that details all the massive spending the repukes did.

Unlike sputtering leftist kooks like you, I harbor no illusions that the Shrub and his neocon glee club were "right wing" and/or "conservative" (whatever the hell that's supposed to mean anymore) in any substantive way, shape or manner.

I'm curious. How do you define yourself? If your not left wing, or right wing, what are you?

Well, let me help Oddude, you're part of the idiotfringe.

Unfunded mandate to the states. Conservatives used to rail against those, back when they had integrity.

Check your premise.

I wasn't referring to you, Einstein. I was referring to the rightwing moron (Mr T) who complains about govt spending and expanding fed power. The hypocrit approved of the repukes spending spree.

And you don't seem to understand what the word rightwing means. bush and the repukes aren't conservative, but they sure are rightwing

Then why was it you quoted my post, dusthead?
