Yes men?

"Snow has hardly been a bona-fide critic of Bush. Snow supports the military initiative in Iraq and lauds Bush on the administration's foreign policy. Snow feels strongly and I'd add rightly, that Bush is too nice of a guy. Because of his eager to placate demeanor he's has failed to reign in Congress on domestic spending. IMO, Bush has a hard time, as do most pols, in saying no. "

lol. for YOUR definition of bona fide.

look TONS of people can be (and are) frequent critics of bush and yet AGREE with his foreign policy

this is the constant canard i have already seen here (and all over the lefty blogs and publications), that if one agrrees with the war on terror etc. one is either a neocon, not of critical mind, not informed, etc.

it's just partisan hogwash. look, i respect those who are against the war in iraq, but the reality is that some VERY VERY smart, informed, conscientious, caring people come down on BOTH sides of the issue

the fact that snow happens to agree with bush vis a vis iraq does not take away from the fact that he criticizes bush where he sees fit and is not a yes man

again...

there are TONS of people on the left, and even the far left that are for the war, but disagree with bush on ALMOST everything else

one's stance on the war is not a proxy for "bush supporter" ...
 
Quote from whitster:

not at all. your reading comprehension sux.

my point is that those on the right (and in the bush admin) are no more thoughtless yes men, than dems and those on the left were thoughtless yes men for clinton

neither claim is the case. one claim was made by (wrongly) many in the right wing

another claim was made (wrongly) by many in the left wing

neither is true. both are excellent examples of how partisanship and ideology skews reality

i could attribute that to the tendency of those on the right to turn around and bite the hand they were kissing few months prior. bush's ship is sinking and all of the right wingers are washing their hands off him and claiming that they had nothing to do with him.

it isd a disease that infests the right wingers...call it their right wing upbringing.
 
Better lay off the hallucinogens.

Need a few zillion in Africa for AIDS? You got it.
Need to re-build New Orleans into a Vegas? Done.
You poor people came across the border trying to earn dignity and a working wage? You can stay.

Except for Iraq, Bush has made no hard decisions. And clearly he has failed completely to articulate his agenda and sell it, to the majority of American's.

Personally I think Bush has done a good job. The tax cuts along with Greenspan's massive liquidity pump helped avert a MAJOR crisis post tech collapse-Enron-MCI-9/11. And while I never viewed Saddam as an-arch enemy I did view him as a strategic enemy. No doubt that Iran feels some less than usual pro-American emotions about the U.S. in knowing that we toppled a Sunni majority that was oppressing the Shia. While Bin-Laden and the uniformed may accuse Bush/Blair/Howard of launching genocide against Islam, the Middle East knows the truth. Bush has bit of pro-Muslim in him.

As far as immigration, it's not like the issue is new. At least the Administration and Congress are finally tackling the problem in a humane, practical manner.

Oh, yes!

I learned that Dittoheads are morons.

And each time I hear them, it reinforces that conclusion.....

Hey you heard me.

If you listen so much, I'd think you would have learned more.

and there goes your myopic partisanship again

this is a disease of PEOPLE and POLITICIANS

that you think it is limited to either party is absurd and just evidences your bias.

dems do it. repubs do it. heck, greens do it
