Regardless if you believe in this war or not we still have Troops: Men and Women that deserve safety and Our Support!!!

If Only wrote on Aug 23, 2007 1:24 PM:The biggest problem we had when Clinton was in office was the "blue dress". Now our country is almost bankrupt, the world hates us, crime is rising, a war in Iraq that is distracting us from the real Terror fight, education slipping, health care issues, violations of the constitution etc. etc. etc. If we could only go back to the great economy and blue dress days. Most of the country is in Bush Burn out and wish he would just go home, so we can elect a real President.

Just Our Bill wrote on Aug 23, 2007 1:39 PM:We would all take a stained blue party dress over stained national honor and security. Clinton lied one time over a personal issue that most men and many women would, or have lied about. Bush has lied over and over again and as a result thousands of Americans died needlessly and tens of thousands more were maimed and injured. He lied us into a war that makes us all less safe and unable to address real threats to our security.

Twain wrote on Aug 23, 2007 3:40 PM:The only difference between Vietnam and Iraq is that Bush knew how to get out of Vietnam. We´ve been in Iraq longer than we fought in World War II. It´s a disaster, and this is nothing but a political attempt to put the blame for the disaster on his opponents.

Floyd wrote on Aug 23, 2007 3:45 PM:Bill Clinton did not balance the budget. Clinton was projecting annual budget deficits of $250 million into the forseeable future until the voters installed a Republican Congress. The Republicans put a limit on out-of-control government spending and onerous regulations, which caused the private sector to recover and significantly increased tax receipts. That is what balanced the budget. Clinton promised us a middle class tax cut before he was elected, but once in office he wouldn't do it. When the work of the Republicans resulted in a budget surplus, Clinton still didn't follow through on the middle class tax cut. At least Jimmy Carter actually did what he said he was going to do, more or less.

Waste Of Time wrote on Aug 23, 2007 4:28 PM:Why not spend the money on the troops. These brave men and women are fighting a war that continues to go on because Bush & Co are making money. Less and less people want to earn poverty wages while these republiSCUMs throw it at adverstising more and more lies. when are the rest of the Americans going to wise up and help us rid the country of the disease called Bush.

To Floyd wrote on Aug 23, 2007 4:28 PM:Are you sure Republicans put a limit on out-of-control government spending and onerous regulations? If that is so, they sure seemed to have forgotten the lesson under Bush's watch! Clinton may have promised a tax cut, but it may not have been needed once "the Republicans" fixed the economy. Did you ever consider that perhaps Clinton AND the Republicans did the work together? Clinton was much more willing to reach across the aisle to get things done - something this president refuses to do. Sorry, but I'd take the blue dress and higher taxes days of Clinton over Bush's reign anyday. I bet if Bill could run, he would win in a landslide!

Alf wrote on Aug 23, 2007 4:58 PM:The fact is that taxes will have to go up. We can not keep spending more money than we take in. The war in Iraq is one in a series of "straws". Regards, Alf.

Randy wrote on Aug 23, 2007 8:20 PM:Now Bush argues that if we bring the troops home, we risk another Vietnam. What kind of an argument is this? "As your Commander-in-chief, I am an abysmal failure. If you do not continue to needlessly sacrifice the lives of your sons and daughters, the world will clearly see what an abysmal failure I am."

Then and Now wrote on Aug 23, 2007 8:40 PM:Note to Floyd - however you see it, those days were the good days before all our jobs starting going overseas, healthcare costs running out of control and even a surplus in our budget. If our current President was Democrat, I would still think he is not smart enough for the job, to stubborn and has forgotten about the American people. The President is the only elected person voted for by all the people and he/she should not forget the needs of all the prople. This President has never represented or helped the needs of all the American people, nor does he care about their needs.

John wrote on Aug 24, 2007 2:42 PM:"The Republicans put a limit on out-of-control government spending". Good thing, Regan and Bush 1st were blowing money faster than Rush Limbaugh in an oxycontin factory.

LaPortia wrote on Aug 27, 2007 9:56 AM:Wow. Maybe I missed that balanced budget part because I'm pretty certain that once we declared war on Iraq, nine months after Bush II's inauguration, that whole balanced budget idea went out the window. So at what point did the Republican Congress balance the budget, except for when Clinton administration was in place? It is a team effort; Your Republican Congress didn't do it alone. While you're supporting this deaf, blind, power-hungry president, please don't forget how democrats and republicans alike are feeling hopeless in getting our government to listen to the people, not checkbooks. Bush II is a mistake for the ages.
