George Bush Had 8 Years Executive Experience as Govenor and Look Where That Got Us!


George Bush a governor for 8 years, supposedly had "executive experience", and look where that got us!  Maybe that should not be such a criteria for one to be a President and must look to other attributes and characteristics like intelligence, wisdom, judgment and temperment in picking our presidents.  The ability to put people first before party and the ability to unite Americans and not divide us.

For Instance, McCain is a big gambler, loves the gaming tables at Las Vegas, which media was well aware of and are just now coming out with after his gamble of the Sarah Palin pick.  Is this not a characteristic which should have been made known beforehand.  I think the American people have the right to know that McCain has this Vice and whether they want a President who does not have the fortitude to withstand the gaming table!  

GOP through the unveiling of Sarah Palin are trying to sell us a bill of goods and mislead the public like they did about the Iraq War!  There were no WMD's and Sarah Palin is not the Reformer and the Experienced Leader they are trying to portray her -- sell her as.  When did we Americans start Confusing a staged event (drama) with Reality, the truth for a lie!

Franklin Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln were not Governors and therefore allegedly had no Executive Experience and yet they were our greatest Presidents!

Republicans belittle community organizers which is a public servant because they do not believe in serving the Public only the wealthy.  To be a President means to be the greatest of Public Servants.

GOP Family Values?  Yet for 10 years they voted no to the minimum wage for working mothers and families and only after Democrats gained control was minimum wage passed!  Yet every year they make sure they get their Raises!

GOP Family Values:  Yet they will not approve an affordable health care plan for all Americans, yet they have great health care for themselves.  That would be too much like a government give away but its ok for them to get the government give away.

GOP loves to talk about putting country first, prosperity, the flag and in Reality they do nothing but talk and leave our the action.  They have fooled Americans for years with talk and no action on behalf of the people.  For years under GOP rule the country has declined in economic promise for the everyday family, college education has soared and unreachable for many young people who are intelligent and eager to learn.  GOP knows that an intelligent public means they cannot get away with their lies for a higher education trains one to "think for themselves".  They do not want people to think but to follow them blindly.  Like sheep going to the slaughter!  We must not let them sell us this empty bill of goods again.

It is time for us, those who care deeply for this country, to Expose the Myth, the lie and the deceptions of the Republican party.  Pull the curtain back on the Wizard of Oz and expose them for what they are frauds and  pretenders, who really have no answers at all.

For instance I heard one GOP opertive say after Sarah Palin's speech "When we need leaders the most they step up?  Really they read a prepared speech on a teleprompter in front of an adoring crowd and this makes one a leader?  We Americans have to stop letting these GOP operatives sell us these empty bill of goods and fill our heads with lies which are not based on reality or truth!   We must see clearly the path ahead and not be lead down the wrong path, like Iraq where Bin Ladin does not live.  We are at a fork in the road.  Can you see the two paths -- one keeping you on the same path of illusion, fear, war and spiraling poverty -- the other to increased, peace, prosperity, good health and unity.  We must choose correctly!

Howdy baracalove!

How's that Sarah Palin choice workin' out for ya' comrade?

 

Sarah Palin is the most qualified candidate in the history of the world.

Well now .. maybe "she" has

Well now .. maybe "she" has a point.

The two WORST Presidents in history -- Bubba C and Jimmuh Cahtuh -- were Governors. Where did THAT get us?

Hey Baraca -- maybe it's the PARTY, and the BELIEFS of the Presidential failures that are the problem .. not the concidence that they were Governors! If a Governor of a major State like Alaska, which has the 7th largest economy of all States in the Union, isn't qualified, then NO ONE is qualified! Certainly not a guy who has a few years as a part-time State legislator (you DO know that is a part time job DON'T YOU?) who merely shows up, hobnobs a little, and casts a couple of votes (in Lord Barry's case a few "PRESENT" votes), and then only 140 days as a U.S. Senator!

BTW -- Bush did a pretty good job given the hand he was dealt. Did he make some mistakes? Sure. For one thing, he along with the Republican Congress SPENT WAY too much money (something I think McCain wiil correct), and we did make a lot of mistakes in the first two years after the Iraq War. But it's real easy to be an armchair General after the fact. Yep .. Bush didn't do as bad as you think.

And Palin (and McCain as well) is more Conservative than George Bush.

SIX

Try SIX years, from 1995-2001.   

And sorry, executive experience counts for a lot as far as the Presidency goes.  Let us count the ways by looking at the last political position each had before assuming the Presidency (and yes, in some ways, Eisenhower held a political position):

FDR, NY Gov

Truman, VP

Eisenhower, Supreme Allied Commander in Europe

Kennedy, MA Senator

Johnson, VP

Nixon, VP

Ford, VP

Carter, GA Gov

Reagan, CA Gov

Bush the Elder, VP

Clinton, AR Gov

Bush, TX Gov

Note the anomaly.  It is best to have executive experience before assuming the Presidency, if the last 70 years is any guide.

Whoever casts a vote for Obama-Biden is nothing more than a common thief.  Whoever fails to vote against them is nothing more than a moral coward.

Another liberal dope

WOW!!!  Bush is so divisive. He brought this country together after 9-11. (Clinton's inactions emboldened these terrorists.)

Because of Bush's leadership and taking IT to the terrorists, there has not been another terrorist attack in the USA. It is the DEMONcrats that have politicized the War on Terror by attacking our troops in Afghanistan and Iraq.

You cannot ride the fence on Iraq...either you supported Saddam the Butcher and his 2 sadistic-rapists sons, or you supported the liberation of the Iraqis from this horrible regime. To be against Bush and the War on Terror means you support the Saddamistic Regime. 

If conservatives are RIGHT, then liberals must be WRONG.

Very true LK. I personally

Very true LK. I personally think some of these fools are such elitist, that they think only privilege people should be free
