When will Bush bashers turn on the Democrats?

from JoeUser Forums

Is the answer to that "never"?  Or, will some of the group of regular Bush bashers (the Clueless Old Liberal as a prime example) that have talked about all the wrong that the Republicans have done for the last several years start blasting the Democrats as they back track on promises or implement solutions that involve spending far more money that must eventually be taxed away from people that make less and less in wages??

I wouldn't bet on the Democrats surviving terribly long without some bashing, but how long will it take for the folks that were bashing the Republicans to be in on the fun?  True colors are about to be seen.  We are about to find out if some people are just never satisified and are nothing but bashers.  Don't expect it to take too long, but then again, doing that might reflect so badly on someone's principles that they just won't be able to bring themselves to admit they were wrong all along.

I will call it like it is. You call it bashing when I tell the truth and it is not favorable to Bush. If the Democrats do not use their new leadership to help the average American the way Bush and the GOP did for the past 6 years, I will tell the truth about the Democrats the same as I did about Bush.

Go back and read my Blogs. You are the Clueless one. My statements as to how the average American DID NOT support the Bush/GOP policies have been PROVEN on November 7, 2006. You are the CLULESS ONE.

Bush-basher will turn on the dems if the Dems take the house while being unchecked.

Divided Government is the best thing that can happen to your country, folks. Bush would not have been that bad if Dems kept him in check. Clinton have been good because Reps checked him...

P.S. Not anything to do with our pet Bush bashers, but I saw this and it reminded me of this article: Nancy Pelosi Is Not My Hero .

Granted, the author describes him/herself as "radical queer southern Italian working class performer, writer and activist ", so there might be ten or eleven people in this history of mankind that would satisfy him/her...

Is that republican propaganda? I am looking over Clinton Administration's wiki accomplishments, and he has done quite a few things.

One of them being one of the most popular (both outside and inside) american president of the 50 last years. I guess that,s why Republican hate him so much.

I don't know if the democrats will have the integrity to treat their own as harshly as they treat the republicans. I know for myself though, it's going to be a fun couple of years. I get to bash the Democrats in congress AND the spineless democrats who refuse to call their congress to task.

On the other hand, any democrat or liberal who is willing to take their own to task, I will acknowledge.

This is a bold faced lie. ColGene, you constantly bash Bush for things that are the responsibility of the Congress, yet when you are called on it, you simply lie again.

Why would we believe that, all of the sudden, you are going to wake up to the fact that Congess has more reponsibility in this country than the President? The fact is, you are a simple minded hater... nothing more.

And just what "did" Foley do? Hummmmm? besides make a pass at a page that was of legal age even if, he was another male. After which he resigned. And who pushed for his resignation? I'll give you a hint....it starts with an R.

This is an interesting attitude.

In my lifetime, I've met more people that criticize or complain because of legitimate reason(s) then I have people who revel in the simple 'joy of bashing'.

If people want to hold Democrats accountable for not representing their constituents' interests they should be able to do so without being labeled 'bashers' - as if their concerns were only made public so that they may have the 'fun' of enduring criticism from those who legitimately disagree with their view.

You are funny! Foley was forced to resign and is now the posterchild for the fact that Republicans are made to pay when they are discovered doing something wrong. When was the last time a Democrat was forced to resign for wrongdoing?

The real reason why the Republicns lost these election was the Iraq war. If there is an exit from Iraq well before 2008 then there will be a contse otherwise one can be sure of a Democrat at the White House.

Representatives?

Foley was a clearly anti-gay politician, rest my case with this statement, your honor.

But you also forget the "et al". The simple fact that the republican majority under Clinton have done a helluva job to keep a conservative governement and spending under control, they haven't lifted a finger to protect the American's future taxpayers against Bush's record-breaking deficit. I call it a huge double-standard

He wanted gays rounded up and killed? What exactly did he do that was anti-gay? Differing with other gay people on gay marriage, etc., is being anti-gay? That would make Democrats unamerican, wouldn't it? Odd how these standards get twisted...

I disagree with this....

the Dems that I know (my family being staunchly democrat) don't want to just simply pick up and pull out of Iraq, they want accountability and for Iraq to become stable. The administration and the Congress ran the post-war campaign, and they were not very successful.

Sure, the Iraq war was a major part of the elections....but I honestly do not believe America wants us to pull and out and run away. If congress forces that issue, then I foresee the dems not maintaining their power in 2008.

I was talking to my mom today on the phone. She said with her own mouth (and I heard my dad echoing her in the background), that they do not want to just pick up and pull out of Iraq. They both believe that that would be disastrous for our country. Instead, they want congress and the executive branch to perform their jobs better.

I still believe that the Dem victory was not so much a victory for the Dems, but rather the country demanding a change....

I say, let the dems cut defense...let them force us out of Iraq before we should leave...let them force us to go through trials and investigations and hearings....hopefully, if they do, both parties will be broken, and maybe then, some viable indy candidates can get in.

As far as corruption goes...both parties are full of corruption. The dems are full of corruption, just as much as the republicans. The reason the republicans were shown so much, they were the ones that were in power. Media bias or not, the republicans had the big fat target on their backs....

I also find it VERY interesting, that the Dems keep trying to oust gay republicans....after all, I thought it was the dems that were so for gay rights?

In almost ALL cases it was the Bush policies that the rubber stamp GOP controlled Congress passed. To me that means they are BOTH to blame.

We will see what the New Congress does and HOW Bush reacts. If he uses the Veto and the GOP sustain his use of the veto on bills that provide help to working Americans or solutions to important issues, I will continue to point this out. If the Democrats do not pass laws that address the issues at hand and help the working Americans, I will point that out as well.

Colgene:

But I thought one of the ways the Republicans in Congress disappointed party members was that the never stood up to the Democrats to get things passed. In fact, the biggest reason Prs. Bush couldn't get much of the legislation we wanted passed was because too many Republicans in Congress voted with the democrats. On the other hand, the things Bush takes the most heat for (The war in Iraq, the Department of Homeland Security and The Patriot Act) were passed with huge support from the Congressional Democrats...

So the whole "rubber stamp" thing is just another lie.

This is true! But I've never seen you "blame" anyone but Bush.

Most of the Bush policies were RUBBER STAMPED by the GOP in Congress. There were only a few issues like Social Security and the amnesty for Illegal’s that he did not get past Congress. He got both the Patriot Act and the military tribunal legislation passed. He has also continued with his surveillance program. The VAST MAJORITY of the Bush changes were PASSED by Congress and the GOP stopped ANY oversight required by the Constitution from taking effect.

It's been 5 WHOLE DAYS since the democrats won the election.
We are in a quagmire in Iraq, when will the democrats do something about that?{for the terminally stupid this is a joke}

Nancy Pelsoi could not win an election anywhere but San franfreako. where even liberals say she is to liberal.
Much as I dislike Murtha right now, even he would be a better speaker of the house.

To answer your question terp. do not hold your breath, have you EVER SEEN A LIBERAL OR DEMOCRAT say "they are wrong"? ever?
