Just pointing out the irony m'dear.

So your a republican...why?

 

Oh gosh how boring. Okay I'll give you another question to start off a debate. Does Mr. Bush's good points outweigh the harm and unpopular things he did during his time in office?

And if you don't want to respond to that, then give me something to work with!

 

i made the point about bush's contribution in Africa only yesterday to a friend OK so he wasn't a great president and sure he made alot of mistakes,but that doesn't mean we should erase from our memories the fact that he did do some very good things. There is a reason he is revered hugely in africa- he did more the help that continent than many other leaders of the supposedly civilised and developped world have ever done.

 

Ty, Swamp didnt say that his good things outweighed his bad things, just that we should recognise that he did some good, and we should even if we dont like the majority of what he did

 

The good Bush did? Massively outweighed by the BAD he did.

I'm ashamed now to admit it, but I once was a staunch Republican, too. In 2000, I was 18, and my first vote for president of the U.S. went to W.

I made the mistake of voting Republican once because I was young, stupid, and had no fucking clue about how the world really worked. I made the mistake of voting Republican once, but NEVER again.

 

I didn't say you did say he was a good president. I was just asking out of curiosity, is that not allowed?
Oh no, my shoulder is very warm thankyou and I'm not "starting" with you. I don't know why your responding so negatively to a debate. Be nice. ~

 

I want to thank you for putting this up here. I really think things have been blown out of proportion with the election and everything. Bush made some decisions that other people couldn't make. I think it is really hard to be a leader of a country where so many people have so many different decisions. He did what he thought would be best. In the end, it wasn't but at least he gave it a shot. Now its Obama's turn to give it a shot. He'll have to make just as many tough decisions. Maybe his will work out, and maybe they won't. We'll just have to wait and see what happens. Bush tried his hardest and things just didn't go as planned. But nothing ever does. He didn't intentionally screw up and try to make the country worse. He's only human. He makes mistakes. Everyone does. It takes alot of guts to get up and be the leader of a country that is like America. Like i said, at least he tried.

 

I don't find it diffcult to have a political debate without arguing, really. And the final point I shall make in this discussion is that Hitler did some good, but overall he wasn't such a nice chap, no?*
Just because he did a few good things doesn't mean that we should shed a tear for his departure. Goodnight.

 

Your comparing him to Hitler? That's harsh dude.

 

thats a bit quite an offensive comparison to make...comparing bush to hitler. Im not saying bush was good,but he wasn't an inherantly bad person, he just made some bad decisions. Hitler WAS an inherantly bad person!

 

Definately Swamp. He's a small town laid back type of guy. I forget where I read it, but it said exactly that. He's a real great guy, just not great president. One I wouldn't mind hanging out with for a day though.

 

id quite like a drink with bush lol,i think that would be awesome. My 18th is coming up...wander if he fancies popping around for a drink lol
