While fascinating, I really would like to know about this Admin's accomplishments, seriously
Well, before Bush I certainly took for granted things like personal liberties but now I actually understand that these things have value and need to be constantly protected. Seriously.
- vetoed SCHIP & fed funding of embryonic stem cells.We're always bashing him and I actually don't know what positive legislation, diplomatic papers, or whatever his Admin has achieved, so please list them.
Most of those are based on opinion and I'll give you them but no child left behind is probably one of the biggest cluster****s if you ask me. All it has done is lower the level of education for all children to the level of the last percentile. Sometimes you need to let the turds sink to the bottom.- vetoed SCHIP & fed funding of embryonic stem cells.
- gave a pissload of money to african nations for teh canada-loving ass aids
- every measure of gwot funding w/o any opposition party strings
- proved that truly most anyone can get re-elected. you know how bad that makes carter look? [silver: "and his dad..."]
- no child lef^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H
- medicare drug prescription program
- got us to talk & hopefully learn
as far as that whole m.e. peace thing...yeah...i'm going to have to ask you to leave now. i bet those pesky palis blew the egyptian border out of spite for his overreaching.
i believe so, b/c it treated the economic symptom while failing to leave a broken healthcare system intact. i see it as enabling poor administration, so for it to be vetoed could be viewed as ironic.was that good?

anybody who shoots a lawyer in the face and gets away with it is alright in my books. leave the onion eater alone.He's also given Cheney several heart attacks.
What did Taft do that was so bad?william howard taft much?
sheesh...
I would have, but you told me off last time I brought the python into this pit of frothers.Damn, the internet must be maturing....18 posts in and no-one started a lame Life Of Brian, "What have the Romans ever done for us" line.
If further evidence is needed of why El-Stinko is the best frother* on this board then I'll need to see it.william howard taft much?
sheesh...
I thought we were talking "good"?What did Taft do that was so bad?
I'm told he devoured an entire kindergarten choir group in one sitting...What did Taft do that was so bad?
Warren G Harding comes to mind for me .william howard taft much?
sheesh...
ok, some follow up to demonstrate through example how this bloated system could be exploited.was that good?$tinkle said:vetoed SCHIP
I'm not sure I'm willing to punish so many poor children cuz a few a-holes exploit the system.ok, some follow up to demonstrate through example how this bloated system could be exploited.
nor i.I'm not sure I'm willing to punish so many poor children cuz a few a-holes exploit the system.
In fact, I'm positive I'm not.
He got rid of something worthless? Simply by replacing Bush the next pres will have accomplished just as much in their first minute in office.Although I hardly think it's significant in the face of the damage, he did help the dumb assault weapons ban expire without renewal.
Even if you're for gun control, you have to admit that the ban accomplished nothing significant.
hmm, I see what you're saying, so we'll go with that as a positive for GWB's legacy, since that's what my intention was with this thread.nor i.
but i won't stop there. if they're truly poor - not poor cuz they cook books - they're covered under medicaid. s-chip is for those middle-class types who've made really ****ty decisions at the expense of their kids' health.
why don't we meet half-way: for those middle-class parents who aren't able/willing to pony up the cash by selling off some stock or re-fi their mcmansion, these kids should be put into the foster system with all the other 'lesser' children. that's what the system does to children who they see as having picked irresponsible parents.
Considering he didn't do anything (just let it expire) that wouldn't count as getting something done.He got rid of something worthless? Simply by replacing Bush the next pres will have accomplished just as much in their first minute in office.
That was Congress and it was a waste of time and money:He rearranged daylight savings time back about a month in the spring and up by a week in the fall. As far being able to bike after work during daylight hours goes, he's the best president ever.
for things like non-urgent care, i don't have much disagreement there. where i balk is the major stuff that breaks the back of hospitals (and in border town gets them closed).Taking the derail train... I think we should have free universal healthcare, so maybe the SCHIP is the beginning? Maybe it should be expanded to ALL minors, regardless of wealth?
if you had spent even one tour in the air force you would know you get a ribbon every other quarter for leaving schyte alone.Considering he didn't do anything (just let it expire) that wouldn't count as getting something done.
Just incrementing medicaid coverage to eventually include everyone and keeping the healthcare system the same as it is would be a disaster. Any universal coverage plan needs to start with a ground up reorganization of the cluster**** that exists today. Of course too many wealthy and powerfull companies have their hands deep in the cookie jar to ever let this happen.hmm, I see what you're saying, so we'll go with that as a positive for GWB's legacy, since that's what my intention was with this thread.
