Actually, Bush DID win the election of 2000. 270 electoral votes were required to win and he won 271.

And what (of the many) recount showed that Al Gore "won the election?"

Bush was appointed president, not elected, by a judge his dad appointed and the state that mysteriously pushed him over the top was governed by his brother. I smell shananigans

Get your fact correct, congress sent them to war, not Bush.

Hostile region, then why the hell is the socialist freak Obama screwing up Iran?

To my count we have now lost over 100 brave soldiers under Obamas watch in his short time frame. I thought he said from day one he would make getting our troops out of Iraq a top priority. Guess not, he is out eating 300k dinners and eating ice cream cones instead of working on getting out of Iraq.

So far in my lifetime, nothing has been as worse as having Obama as President.

The biggest mistake in American history. EVER!
Congress was majority republican when funding for the war was approved, and the democrats that voted in favor were told there was damning evidence about WMD's, ties to Al Queda, etc. When the president (regardless of party) makes a claim like that, especially with 9/11 in recent memory, it would be tough not to vote with him. Whouda thunk he was lying about something like that just 19 months after one of the greatest tragedies in American history?

How is Obama screwing up Iran? As we've learned from Iraq and Vietnam, American intervention typically makes thing worse. And better yet, explain to me what socialism is and how Obama is one.

We've lost 100+ soldiers in Iraq since Obama took office. That's 100+ more that we'd have lost if not for this stupid war Obama has nothing to do with.

I got it: he left a mess!!!



What's your memories of Bush?

That he was able to STEAL the 2000 Presidential Election through the actions of the Supreme Court and his brother Jed, the governor of Florida. We can no longer look at countries like Iran with their crooked elections and claim the higher moral ground.

I'm probably forgetting a few, but I cannot stand to consider it any longer.
You about covered it.

Liberal members who voted to send our troops to war are at fault, if they would have voted against it and actually read the bill for once it could have been stopped.

Sorry your lame excuse does not work.

Obama promised he would bring the troops home, he is a liar.
He is not bringing them home and you know it. Thus, he is at fault for at least 100 lives and many more to come thanks to his lies.

I am not going to explain socialism to you because anyone who supports Obama already knows what it is and defends it.

And yes, Obama screwed up Iran badly, he would have helped a nation of people who want freedom from the same things Obama is trying to push on us. ( That is take away all your freedoms so he can control you )

Obama and Ahmandinejad are one in the same people. They think alike, act alike and make decisions alike.

Obama count on soliders who have died under his watch has begun.

He promised from day one he would bring them home, instead the moron is sending more troops into harms way.

The Obama count has started.

Sad when he has now caused more then 100 deaths already because of his lies.

Wha Wha

He did not steal it at all or Gore would have fought it.

Now talk about stealing elections, every heard of ACORN for Obama???

Sound familiar to you?

Please do not compare crooked elections at this time, with Obama being ACORNS attorney and handing them money to operate you are now saying that it is ok for democrats and ACORN to defraud people by having one person vote 10-20 times each?

Fraud is a liberal thing. It's what libs know best.




Al Gore and John Kerry, OMG - They together would make Jimmy Carter and Hussein Obama look like the greatest of all time.

He had the courage of his convictions to stand up to the dems/libs to keep this country safe from another 9/11-style attack.

His policies on the War on Terror have done just that.

In the face of the defeatist behavior from the dems/libs, he did the right thing by keeping troops in Iraq until the conditions on the ground warranted a phased withdrawal.
