The American Conservative (Continuing Series)

[Listening]

Health care for Americans is "extreme"? Only to Republicans. To me, their policy of "let him die" is very extreme.

Please point to an official policy of "let him die" or do us the favor of admitting that, once again, you are making stuff up.

Direct links to official GOP policies only need apply.

30 Pieces Of Legislation That Republicans Are Using To Destroy America By Hrafnkell Haraldsson and Sarah Jones

30 Pieces Of Legislation That Republicans Are Using To Destroy America


"The trends were comparably daunting for children in poverty. When Clinton left office nearly 11.6 million children lived in poverty, according to the Census. When Bush left office that number had swelled to just under 14.1 million, an increase of more than 21 per cent." 'Closing The Book On The Bush Legacy' by Ronald Brownstein

Republican gun policy effects: 'In America eight children a day die in murders, suicides and accidents involving guns.'

"Republicans approve of the American farmer, but they are willing to help him go broke. They stand four-square for the American home -but not for housing. They are strong for labor - but they are stronger for restricting labor's rights. They favor minimum wage - the smaller the minimum wage the better. They endorse educational opportunity for all - but they won't spend money for teachers or for schools. They think modern medical care and hospitals are fine - for people who can afford them. They consider electrical power a great blessing - but only when the private power companies get their rake-off. They think American standard of living is a fine thing - so long as it doesn't spread to all the people. And they admire of Government of the United States so much that they would like to buy it." Harry S. Truman

Sometimes it's hard to ignore the parallels between the D/R, left/right charade and "professional" wrestling.

The goals are quite different but the tactics are the same, and they're listed in my sig.

I think you are conflating several diffrent kinds of "conservatives" here.

First, I wouldn't call George W. Bush a failure

Thousands dead in a war of choice is the ULTIMATE failure for a President; he also refused to fund SELA requests for the ongoing NOLA levee restoration. We will never know if the levees would have failed had the work been on schedule. One of the WORST in US history. And, he took the heat OFF al Qaeda to send US troops to a war in Iraq deemed ILL PLANNED by the JCS.

Obama has not done great in office but anyone compared to baby Bush looks good, except for for Buchanan and Pierce.

George Bush has been the closest Republican have got to their extreme ideal. He was a "perfected" Republican.

Really?

Frankly, I've never understood why the Democrats hated Bush as much as they did. He made government bigger, he created new entitlements, he peddled himself as a "Compassionate" conservative who opposed the more draconian cuts that Gingrich did. He let Ted Kennedy design "No Child Left Behind." Yeah, he went to war with Iraq, but he made sure he got Democrats on board before he did it.

Didn't matter. You guys hated him because they hated Clinton. And they hate Obama because you all hated Bush. And whoever follows Obama (it hopefully won't be Romney) you guys will turn around and hate some more.

Where does it end?
