Obama the Conservative: Check Obama's Record Against Bush's Record.
 www.obamatheconservative.com


Compare this to the Obama campaign's snarky "whatthe****hasobamadone" nonsense. It's not about what he has done right--the minor tweaks to terrible policies--or what he's failed to do (i.e. give him time!) it's about what he has openly done wrong, the conservative policies he has openly embraced.

You can't be against the worst horrors of the Bush Administration's policies without being against the upholding and, in some cases, an exacerbation of those same policies.

Anyway, at least this website is an intelligent counter to the spin, insulting soundbites, and shallow talking points.

4. The very worst thing our Democratic President ever did was legitimize Bush's policies by...

..continuing them.

That is simply the biggest smack in the face to me as a human being and as an American citizen after fighting 10 years of mothing****ing George W. Bush and all of his NeoCon ****ing friends.

He didn't just let Bush off the hook, he was the only person in the world who could make the filthy Bush policies seem bipartisan. That's a swipe at everything the Democratic Party stands for and it attempts to wash away the most important differences between Democrats and Republicans when it comes to the rule of law and respect for the checks and balances in The Constitution.

And I'll admit it- I never in a million years would have expected that.

5. Hmmmm?
 "Obama the Conservative: Check Obama's Record Against Bush's Record."

The ACLU praised the Obama administration for ending Bush's torture policies

President Obama Signs Executive Order Widening Government Transparency

WH fact sheet on Guantanamo Executive Order and ACLU response

ACLU: Justice Is Served (Fair Sentencing Act made retroactive)

A Win for Free Speech: ACLU Recommendations Adopted by DHS!


The 2012 alternative is reversing the progress made by President Obama.
Now what was that about Bush?

 

nosense is the queen of links in blue ( but I did not bother to bring them as links )


I am thinking nosense should at least make the top ten for DOTY.  Who knows with a little more work she can even go home with the prize.


Lots of interesting comments on this thread.  Suit up and take a look but don't forget to clean up before coming back in the house.

What I like is the Prosense dummy who shows up anytime one of these bonfires gets lit and begins to spam the thread.  Well, that and the fact that many dummies are less than thrilled with theWun's record ( which they think is too conservative).  Keep that thought dummies, Obie needs to move further left.  Winning strategy there.

I am pretty sure Prosense is covert DLC.   

Obie is pretty much fixed between two positions in the party that are mutually exclusive.  One and done. Landslide Lyndon at least knew how to wring out the rawhide after he pissed up someone's asshole.  Obie is more a stroker.  A Jphnson he is not.  More a Carter, he's squats when he pees.
