What if Bush... [View all]

[Charlemagne]

I know this will get me into trouble. But what if George Bush had done the following. What would our responses be?

Ordered the assassination of am American Citizen in Yemen without due process.

Signed H.R. 1540.

Escalated drone/UAV strikes in Afghanistan and into Pakistan.

Entered into a NATO air war against Libya without the approval of congress.

Extended the Bush tax cuts.

Created a health care mandate that had been lauded by conservatives during the 1990s.

Gave a huge bailout to investment banks while creating no meaningful new regulations.

Allowed guns in national parks.

Had a chief of staff who called liberals, "f-ing retarded."

Called for the unions to endure a "shared sacrifice" while not asking the same of the wealthiest Americans

Kept GITMO open...

Continued the wiretapping.

Gave assault weapons to Mexican drug cartels in a failed ATF program.


Im not criticizing the Democratic Party. Nor am I saying we should not support the President. But, people seem to be giving a pass to issues that would normally be pretty controversial. I mean, just think if Bush had ordered the assassination of an American citizen?!?!


Are we not standing by our principles simply because the guy in charge is a Democrat? When do we say, "enough is enough?"

Thanks.
