1. Protected them from further terrorist attack for four years.
Isn't that what he is supposed to do anyway? Oh that's right not only does he get credit for doing the bare minimum he gets credit for FAILING to do the bare minimum.

2. I liked this one best so far:
"Bush's legacy will be expanded socialism and a great foreign policy."

4. Try getting your head around this one
Well, I'm sure his teacher is a democrat. One thing you could point out is that he's signed every piece of Democrat legislation that they've put on his desk. I don't think he's vetoed anything.
So the dems got what they wanted, except for these judges. So if the poor are suffering then they're to blame as well.

38. Does that even address
the topic of the debate? At all?

Hmmm...freeper logic:

Q - What has the president done to help the poor?

A - Well, he's helped pass some laws that democrats wanted too, so the democrats got some stuff. So fuck the poor.

:wtf:

3. Nice to see Pukin Dog weigh in
I would begin the debate with this premise:

"It is better to be respected than to be liked"

This is what Bush has done for this nation. Back when we were liked but disrespected, we were being attacked by terrorists and doing nothing about it.

Now, terrorists are on the run, and we have a thriving economy and low unemployment. A rising tide lifts all boats.

7. A very unfortunate metaphor.
I'm sure Mr. Dog benefits from this black tide from the deck of his yacht, where he's surely busy rearranging the chairs.

Or replacing the apron on his double-wide.

Or something. :shrug:

19. Actually, we lived in one while our house was being built.
The hot water heater was a killer, way too small, and it was in a space accessed by an uninsulated exterior door. Brrrr....

Rising tides in one part of the world means falling tides in others.

11. We're neither respect nor liked.........
with bush in office. Hey, Clinton batted .500 anyway (and the fact that he batted 1.000 can be made), but BUSH? bush is batting .000
Thriving economy and low unemployment? What the hell world does pukin' dog live in? Why do I even care about what these assholes have to say. Collectively, their isn't a functioning brain or a full set of teeth between them all.

43. Aside from the biggest terrorist attack in our nation's history....
...which could have easily been prevented if * did little things like READ every once in a while. But other than that, he's done a smashing job of protecting the country. Oh yeah, and the pathetic response to Katrina which has cost billions of $ as well as thousands of lives. Other than those two little snags, he's done a great job. Of course, we have almost no national guard now and our unjustified war in Iraq has turned it into a breeding ground for terrorists. But other than those 3 little things, fantastic job. And of course I can't forget.....

8. Man, just read all those responses over there!
They are really trying to grasp at straws. This question obviously got all of their undies in a bunch.

But to those of them who responded with something like - "Since when is government supposed to be responsible for the poor", I'd respond with something from that little ol' thing called the Constitution.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America

Or don't the freepers remember that document?

10. Bottom line is whatever talking points or various states
of denial I see on that page, there is a significant rise in the number of people living in poverty in this Country that is on the rise because of the attuitudes we see every day from those people who think they know where the money should be spent. Bush spends money corruptly, so dollar figures mean nothing. Unemployment is low but wages are way way down. To be politically correct in Republican terms is to believe in trickle down economics, but unfortunately for the poor all that trickles down is Republican urine.

yahoos. Sorry about your financial circumstances though. I wish I could say better times are coming, but I can't lie like a Repuke, even to cheer up a fellow DU'er. Study breaking and entering or hunting and gathering, as the economy is going to tank big time real soon.

21. That's the key to understanding the GDP.
Whenever they talk about "the economy" they're talking about the GDP - which is merely the total spent on all goods and services. "Goods" includes yachts and pot. "Services" includes prostitution, bribes, and medical care. When millionaires play "musical yachts" it adds to the GDP. A lot of dollars spent by a few people is the same as a few dollars spent by a lot of people.

25. random thought on GDP
...re-arranging the musical chairs on the Titanic? GDP goes up when price of gas goes up, but no new jobs or income to average person. Profits line pockets of a few, but GDP still goes up.

To: Texas_Jarhead

didn't Rush say for ever dollar we spend to fight poverty that on 22 cents actually go to the poor? You can point out how the DEMOCRAT IDEA has failed and will continue to fail as a little foot note.

I've never entered a Republican-leaning site (at least, not intentionally). How incredible! I have a few friends who are true Republicans and I thought they were the only ones who talked like that. Sheesh! They ALL talk that way. Pass the Kool-Aid.

41. Those are the most hateful fucks I've ever seen.
Look at this trash that goes against everything Jesus teaches:

"The debate question is bogus. It's not the president's job to "care" for the poor."

"Since when is the government responsible for ANYONE'S existence and subsequent success(es) / failure(s)?"

"If this was a real debate question the ASSUMPTION is that it is even his job to "care"."

"Government programs directly serving the poor are a waste of taxes."

You hateful sons of bitches can rot in hell for all I care, you hypocrites. Because that's what God does to hypocrites.

Freeper assholes.
