- inactive, on 01/18/2008, -4/+49He certainly will try to pass it on to our next President. Why do you think he's been playing in the middle east? It's his job to make his legacy and to help his buddies continue to make a buck off the war.
- inactive, on 01/18/2008, -2/+41Could you explain this time what a victory in Iraq would be? That you get the pleasure to stay there for another decade and spend billions a month?
- Apokalyps2547, on 01/18/2008, -2/+27George's BOSS, the American People, is under 35% satisfied with his job performance.
Why shouldn't he be fired? - blindhammer, on 01/18/2008, -3/+26The problem is that the Bush administration has successfully expanded executive power to such a point that it will take an unusual politican to not take advantage of the doors that Bush and Cheney opened. People rarely give up power.
The widespread transfer of power from the Legislative and Judicial Branch to the Executive is, perhaps, the most nefarious of Bush's legacy since it pretty much guts our form of government. Historically, Presidents don't cede power back to the Legislature so it is probable that the Executive will only get stronger. - Brad324, on 01/18/2008, -3/+26let's elect whoever Fox News wants us to. They know what's best for our country. Now excuse me while I go order a bucket of KFC and whistle my way to work.
- Devachan, on 01/18/2008, -2/+24Well that certainly depends on WHO the next president is!!!! Hmmmm.... Let's see, will the American people let the big corporate media giants who have taken over our public airwaves choose a the next president AGAIN? Or will we vote with our conscience and choose a candidate who speaks truth to power and isn't afraid of disrupting the status quo??
- swaddict, on 01/18/2008, -4/+26not leading by polls is thwarting the will of the people, which he was not elected to do
- dogstar0125, on 01/18/2008, -2/+23President Bush, never one to lead by following any kind of rational though process, has led us to an ever increasing likely hood of bankruptcy with his increasingly futile war in Iraq. Burn in hell G. Bush and God help the USA.
- sundancekid503, on 01/18/2008, -1/+15Hey, leave fried chicken out of this!
- Frnnkdlxx, on 01/18/2008, -4/+17Unfortunately, due to the legislation and precedents he set, the people really no longer have the power to reverse it. So this could be considered to be falling on deaf ears. The people are about as mobile and alert as crabgrass. Tell me when revolution is on the table.
- 10lbhammer, on 01/18/2008, -1/+13victory has already been achieved, remember?
"mission accomplished!" - GeneralFault, on 01/18/2008, -2/+13Yay! and all it cost was 4,000 American lives, over 100,000 Iraqi civilian lives, almost a $1,000,000,000,000, 5+ years of government distraction from domestic issues, and uncountable suicides, amputations, and destroyed families. For that low low price you get....
A country that is in shambles filled with an enemy that did not exist a few years ago.
Sure, I guese it's working. - inactive, on 01/18/2008, -8/+18Bush's entire plan hinges on dumping the blame on someone else.
Has this ***** taken responsibility for any of his actions or policies?
NOPE.
He'll dump his mess on someone else, then go around telling everyone his successor was not up to the task. - batshitcrazy, on 01/18/2008, -6/+15Kucinich or Paul are the only ones who will reverse the course this Administration has set us on... every other candidate will continue to pursue the goals outlined by Project for a New American Century
- insllvn, on 01/18/2008, -1/+10MTV is to music as KFC is to chicken. - Lewis Black
- dn11, on 01/18/2008, -0/+8Are you sure you don't want some Carl's Junior and some EXTRA BIG ASS FRIES?... "Carl's Junior, ***** you I'm Eating"
- UrinalPooper, on 01/18/2008, -0/+8"With so many Americans adamant about bringing our forces home as soon as possible"
So can someone explain why Paul, Kucinich and Gravel have no hope of getting their respective party's nominations?
Why, it's almost as if the two parties were colluding... - inactive, on 01/18/2008, -4/+12Which is why we need a man of integrity with a Constitutional record that is second to none.
http://knowbeforeyouvote.com/ - MikeFallopian, on 01/18/2008, -2/+10Say what you will about Bush's policies, he's one politically savvy dude. If this goes through it could forever link his legacy to the future of Iraq rather than the years 2003-2008 - not to mention taking off the table the biggest weapon the democrats have in the presidential race.
- FluffyWolf, on 01/18/2008, -6/+13The only way to prevent Bush's legacy to be a norm for the future is to impeach, trial and convict him.
But that's not going to happen, so he has made a precedent that you can pretty much do anything as a president of the US and get away with it. - jhails, on 01/18/2008, -3/+10Cheney and Bush have set things up brilliantly. The whole mess will soon be someone else's problem. Iron clad agreements will be put in place that will insure American Soldiers must remain present in Iraq for years to come. Halliburton, Exxon, General Electric, Boeing etc will continue ass-raping American tax payers for years to come.
Thank you Nancy Pelosi for taking impeachment off the table. You did such a great job! - GeneralFault, on 01/18/2008, -1/+7Funny thing is that you are likely getting dugg up here by liberals like me for reasons that you hate. We dislike her because she has taken Impeachment off of the table. You dislike her for your own neo-con crazy reasons. Either way, she needs to get the message or get gone. The time for getting the message is quickly drawing to a close.
- GhostyBoy, on 01/18/2008, -3/+9There is no way that President Diebold is going to pass on his legacy to President Diebold. Their platforms are just too different.
- vade79, on 01/18/2008, -1/+7They can both go. But, why get rid of the distraction instead of getting rid of the root problem first?
- phazon88, on 01/19/2008, -1/+7GeneralFault it's actually 1 million iraqi civilian lives
- nicholai, on 01/19/2008, -0/+6We should stop wasting money in Germany and Japan as well, just like Ron Paul said.
- mdunn79, on 01/18/2008, -0/+6I love how that page purposely leaves out other candidates that have many similar views to Ron Paul, e.g. Mike Gravel and Dennis Kucinich.
- Zippo, on 01/18/2008, -5/+11Unless the next president is as corrupt and evil as Bush, they've got one *****-huge mess to clean up.
- barneytoe, on 01/18/2008, -2/+8great, instead of 60 gazillion in debt we'll now have 71 gazillian in debt. And an extra $800 to buy more beer and cigarettes with. Moron.
- ronpaul20008, on 01/18/2008, -4/+10it's sad when our only export is death and destruction. we need to spend that money rebuilding this once great nation. too bad we're so divided, and media only divides us farther. even if ron paul did become president, the media will still be against him, sabotage his administration, then lay blame on him....
- insllvn, on 01/18/2008, -4/+9Ron Paul ain't gonna win. I am not happy about it, but if he can't carry New Hampshire, He cannot win. Period. The fix is in my friends, this is not likely to be solved in an election. We must embrace our proud heritage.
- xSEED, on 01/19/2008, -0/+5ron paul has a ***** of things to clean up after bush is gone
- nicholai, on 01/19/2008, -0/+5McCain wants to stay in Iraq for 100 years.
- Jo9100, on 01/18/2008, -1/+6this is sooo not biased.
- fractalman, on 01/18/2008, -4/+9If we ever have a next president. We are just on terror attack, or natural disaster away from martial law. I don't think Bush and Cheney are going to give this power up easily.
- therightside, on 01/18/2008, -8/+13But the people are even less satisfied with Pelosi and friends. Can we get rid of her first?
- GeneralFault, on 01/18/2008, -2/+7Why shouldn't they be shown the same door?
- heebeejeebie, on 01/18/2008, -0/+5No matter who is in the White House next year they will keep our troops in Iraq and they will want them there, regardless if it's Hillary, Obama, Romney or McCain. The reason very simply is that as Colin Powell so elequently stated "You break it, you buy it". There is simply no good exit strategy from Iraq from a political or economic perspective.
- inactive, on 01/18/2008, -4/+92/3rds of Iraqis polled, Two Thirds, want the US out of there yet most of the "debate" in the US is "how" to conduct a stay there.
Let me repeat it because most are slow. 2 3rds of a country that is supposedly to be "helped" (this is about 66.7%) want the US out. What Hypocrisy is this wanting to stay to "help"?
http://chomsky.info/articles/20080101.htm - Archer007, on 01/19/2008, -0/+4Politically savvy and ethical are not synonyms.
- roystgnr, on 01/18/2008, -2/+6When I read the phrase "Bush's legacy", I also first thought about his track record of violating the Bill of Rights and the checks and balances within the US government, but that's not what this editorial is about. Read it; they're talking about negotiations with the Iraqi government to keep the US military there for another five or ten years. There may be implications here for the balance between Executive and Legislative power (I wouldn't put it past Bush to "forget" that the Constitution requires Senators to ratify his treaties) but that's a secondary issue.
- ladalang, on 01/19/2008, -0/+4Impeach already before he agrees we'll be slave labor to China to pay off all the money he borrowed.
- robopuppy, on 01/18/2008, -1/+5
truman(D) did it to eisenhower (R) --Korea
johnson(D) did it to nixon(R), --Vietnam
Carter(D) did it to Reagan(R) Afghanistan/Iran
Bush I (R) in reality like it or not, did it to Clinton(D) - Iraq
Bush II (R) did it to ______ (likely D) - Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, and the entire rest of the world now hates us
There, fixed it for you. - knupso, on 01/18/2008, -3/+7It's not a war. The war ended in 2003. It's an occupation and like all occupations the occupies don't like it and are causing a ruckus.
- FloppyLlamaDigg, on 01/18/2008, -3/+7Please also explain what events would occur should we fail to achieve victory in Iraq. Also explain why these events aren't happening now, since we have not yet 'won' in Iraq.
- nicholai, on 01/19/2008, -0/+4Most libertarians would take the job.
- nicholai, on 01/19/2008, -0/+4Try reading the article again.
- nicholai, on 01/19/2008, -0/+3No, you're a retard.
- lacronicus, on 01/18/2008, -2/+5I liked the part where you rationally attacked this article without resorting to name calling and other immature things.
Oh wait... - inactive, on 01/19/2008, -0/+3I remind you yet again, without the democrats, of which several are running and likely to win the office, NONE of what is going on in Iraq and the rest of the world would be possible. It is clear they will proceed as planed in Iraq, with permanent bases and just blame Bush.
