BUSH BLUNDERS ARE HARD TO KEEP UP WITH

The foibles and follies of this administration are too numerous to count. With the exception of Monica Lewinsky, they rival anything in the previous administration. Of course, most neocons refuse to notice. Therefore, this column will also be ignored.

However, for those who are interested in the truth, here are some of the latest examples of Bush's blunders:

*Bush threw his support behind a liberal Republican who supports increased taxes, abortion and additional gun control to be a Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate. That man is Illinois Governor Jim Edgar. Thankfully, Edgar decided to not seek the nomination, but that didn't stop Bush from doing his best to send another liberal to Washington, D.C. Next, watch for Bush to do the same thing in California.

*Bush continues his support for the Clinton-Gore gun ban enacted back in 1994. Despite objections from gun groups, including the National Rifle Association, the President is determined to re-institute the so-called "assault weapons" ban that is scheduled to sunset next year. So much for Bush being "pro-gun."

*As Commander-In-Chief, President Bush has the authority to establish guidelines and policies for our nation's military. When Bill Clinton became President, he implemented the infamous "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy allowing homosexuals to serve in the U.S. armed forces. Bush has continued that policy. Clinton also introduced women to front-line combat roles. And true to form, Bush continues this reprehensible Clinton policy. In fact, one would be extremely hard-pressed to find any Clinton policy that Bush has reversed! I can't think of a single one.

*NAFTA and GATT came into existence early in the Clinton administration. Bush continues those polices and even wants to expand them. He has proposed expanding this agreement throughout the Americas and is now calling for a Mideast Free Trade agreement. Say good-bye to more American jobs; say hello to more foreign goods and to more foreign workers.

*Bush is determined to oversee the creation of a Palestinian state. After sending American soldiers to fight and die in an undeclared war against Iraq, Bush wants to create another such country by giving the P.L.O. radicals their own nation. Clinton wanted to do the same thing, of course, but was shouted down by conservatives. Today, those same conservatives sit mute and dumb as Bush sets about to finish what Clinton started.

*Speaking of finishing what Clinton started, Bush successfully created the Department of Homeland Security and the totalitarian-laced USA Patriot Act. There is an even more egregious version currently worming its way into law. All this was the brainchild of Bill Clinton, of course. However, he could not accomplish his pernicious plans because conservatives and Republicans would not support them. Now they do.

*Bush is likely to invoke Executive Privilege in order to continue the cover-up about what he and other top government leaders knew prior to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Some thirty days prior to the attacks, Bush reportedly received a CIA Intelligence Report which warned, "The attack will be spectacular and designed to inflict mass casualties against U.S. facilities or interests. Attack preparations have been made. Attack will occur with little or no warning." More details are leaking out almost daily.

A Democratic Presidential contender, Senator Bob Graham of Florida, says Bush knows much more than he is telling and is demanding that the administration come clean about what really took place. Before that happens, however, Bush will claim Executive Privilege and the truth will be covered up once again.

Maybe you don't mind seeing trash like this on FR, but I do.

It's more of the same old rubbish, trash the president, and pretend to be a Republican while you do it.

[The Red Zone]

Perhaps one day conservative Christians will wake up to the fact that Mr. Bush seldom represents them and will decide to put their combined support and influence behind a principled conservative who will be faithful to the immutable laws upon which this nation was founded. Perhaps.

Let me guess. Republican strategy = Throwing the elections to the Democrats with a spoiler who takes 10% of the vote. Brilliant.

[Republican_Strategist]

The pastor didn’t side with Graham - he took what Graham asked and there is nothing wrong with his question. We should know what Clinton and Bush knew. We have that right and we should have a government accountable to us. You ignore the Clinton era gun ban and other important features.

[The Red Zone]

In the primary? Oh God please no. She is the perfect anti-Bush.

[Republican_Strategist]

Rebuttal, are you going to argue in favor of federal spending on abortion - even when the GOP Platform says the Republican Party opposes such a thing?

[Mo1]

LOL!!

What happen to Rev. Al?

I guess Reagan should have killed the department when he could have shortly after its birth.

I guess he's a failed "conservative" as well.

>>NAFTA and GATT came into existence early in the Clinton administration. Bush continues those polices and even wants to expand them. <<

This is one area where I disagree wholeheartedly with the president. I would hate to integrate our economy into the thirdd world economies of Latin and South America.

The rest of the stuff is silly--if the author really believes the items he's listed are comparable to the criminal behavior that characterized the Clinton administration, he's got some kind of delusional disorder. We are a country of 350 million people with competing agendas. The President has to maneuver carefully through numerous political minefields daily. I think he's doing a great job.

"Oh God please no." (I don't mean that frivolously. She'd be the Dems' best chance.)

[homeschool mama]

Did you truly vote for Bush in 2000? Somehow I doubt it.

It was sneaky, unkind and unfair to post this article at midnight pacific time. Your intentions are suspect.

[nickcarraway]

In fact, one would be extremely hard-pressed to find any Clinton policy that Bush has reversed! I can't think of a single one.

One shouldn't be that hard pressed. His first act as president was to reverse Clinton's reversal of President Reagan's Mexico City Policy. That was on the Monday after President Bush was inaugurated. Pay attention!

[Republican_Strategist]

That proves Bush has no convictions - he caved on stem cell research. Bush agreed to spend federal dollars (unconstitutional) on stemm cell research. Stem cells taken from life that was destroyed.

I'm going to vote for Hillary.

Before that happens, I will be crowned "Queen of England."

[The Red Zone]

at midnight pacific time

The witching hour

[homeschool mama]

Why am I still awake at this hour? ugh.

[Republican_Strategist]

Spare me your justification and your excuses. Bush increased spending by 15% - even more so than Clinton. So much for smaller government. Of course you pretend it to be some secret plan to draw out "dims."

[Pro-Bush]

Bush has done every bit as much to promote the homosexual agenda as Bill Clinton did, maybe more.

You support this crap? You should be ashamed of yourself!

[Jim Robinson]

Nah, in the general. They tell me that Bush has promised to sign the continuation of the AWB if it gets to his desk (and there goes the 2nd amendment if he does and that's the last thing standing between us and tyranny), so we might as well throw the bum out. Vote for Hillary instead. She's the only one that who save the Republic now.

The pastor didn’t side with Graham - he took what Graham asked and there is nothing wrong with his question. We should know what Clinton and Bush knew. We have that right and we should have a government accountable to us. You ignore the Clinton era gun ban and other important features.

Nice try, but he quoting a Dem Rat who is running for President and I should believe Graham? .. Graham is a nutcase

As for what Clinton & Bush .. most has been reported in the papers

As for the guns .. I'm not ignoring anything ..

Chuck Baldwin is Founder-Pastor of Crossroads Baptist Church in Pensacola, Florida. In 1985 the church was recognized by President Ronald Reagan for its unusual growth and influence.

Psoting this in the morning. Why would the moderators censor this - these are about conservative issues and Bush is taking the liberal stance. You seem to want to filter out such information.

How is taking Bush to task for keeping in Clinton's gun ban, his policies letting homosexuals in the military, federally funding abortion overseas, etc. turned into his wanting Hillary to win?
