I did say it. And it's true.
If you show me his contrary policy, I'll gladly eat crow about this. |

I never claimed that bush Supported executing people based on sexual orientation.
Why do you keep insisting that I did? |

What?
What's inconsistent in my statements?
Bush was asked to take a position of pressuring those who execute homosexuals to stop executions based on sexual orientation. He said, "No, I will not sign on and support such a position."
Obama REVERSED the Bush position by saying "Yes, I will sign on and support such a position."
Bush's position was to not endorse a policy supportive of ending executions based on sexual orientation. Obama REVERSED this position and choose to endorse the policy in support of ending executions based on sexual orientation.
Bush never took a position of actually supporting the execution of homosexuals, and I've never claimed that he did.
This is pretty simple stuff. Why are you having such a difficult time understanding it??? |

Not wanting to take a position does not mean you support the actions taking place..

No.. Obama is taking HIS position, he is not reversing Bushs position..

Obama is supporting making a statement while Bush did not.. That is not REVERSING a position.. I dont care how many times you claim it is, but its not. People are entitled to different opinions and they can legislate on different opinions, but that doesnt mean you are reversing anything..

Clearly you can list evidence that supports Bush wanting to kill people based upon sexual orientation. I've asked you for such evidence but you have provided none, but continue to post the same old repeated babble while claiming you arent saying what you are.. |

...and HIS position is the reverse of Bush's position.

Again, his position is the reverse of Bush's. That means his administarion reversed the position of our government.

No, I certainly did not. Please quote where I did, and tell me which post (which # of this thread) I said it in.

What? I've said clearly, and multiple times, that Bush did not support and actual position or policy of executing people based on sexual orientation.
