President George Bush resumes military tribunals

[MobBoss]

Obama, I am disappoint -_-

Make sure and vote for him again ok?

Better than the other guys. It's like Nazi Germany v. Soviet Union.

MobBoss advises CFC posters to vote for Obama again? Have you become a communist all of a sudden?

Nope, ain't going to vote for him if he's going the way of Bush. He failed to deliver change!!

Well, so far he's done better than Bush in that 3,000 less Americans have died from terrorist attacks on US soil so far in the same period of governance.

Bush got 90% approval for 9/11, Ziggy.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

But that had dropped off spectacularly in 2004. So maybe Obama is planning his approval ratings boost a little closer to the elections.

Yeah, 'cause the USA is precisely like that.

Good for you.

I got a name for you. Dennis Kucinich. Look him up. I think thats the candidate your're actually looking for.

President Bush resumed military tribunals yesterday in Gitmo, rescinding a previous suspension of such tribunals. So what do you guys think of this action? Good for our security? A violation of the rights of terrorists? what?



EDIT: Oopsies, sorry. I wrote Bush instead of Obama! It must be because I mentally blocked thinking Obama could possibly do this due to campaign promises and just substituted that evil villain Bush...

I already made this post. But as I'm sure you will find out, just like FDR and putting people in concentration camps; everyone is ok with it when "we" do it.

The problem is, that if you don't vote for someone who you might only agree with 40%, you get someone you disagree with 100%. The next Republican president is going to be worse than GW Bush, no matter who it is.

I salute, sir! You uncovered my devious plot!

It's part of the Vast Rightwing Conspiracy!

Yup, same crap, different face. Colour me unsurprised.

Agreed, potty joeks aside.

Worse than GWB? How

I heard on the radio the other day: All these things the Republicans are doing is going to drive them off a cliff. And they know it. So why do you run off a cliff? Because a tiger is chasing you.

That tiger being the tea party. The Republicans are doing things which are increasingly seen as radical and out of touch by a growing share of the American people. But they feel driven to it by the strength of their own extremists. So they are being driven away from the mainstream of the American people. Eventually that will cost them. But in the nearer term they may get some success out of it, if for no other reason than that the economic problems exceed Obama's ability to fix.

GW Bush was the furthest right Republican president, possibly ever, certainly since before the Great Depression. And yet the Republican extremists now brand him some sort of liberal. Until this trend runs its course, any Republican running for national office is going to have to position himself even further to the right. They'll feel driven to do so.

Even though deregulation was the root cause of the Wall St collapse and Great Recession, the mantra now is deregulate and shrink government. Exactly the opposite of what we should be doing. But then that's broadly true of what they want. How can any near future Republican president be expected to go against the trends that are driving the Republican party?
