Citizen,
You broke from the tradition. You failed to say something good about Bush and co., who have made a govt. in Iraq which was just recognized by Jordan, who opened an embassy.

Lol, dreamtrove.
Oh no! Um... Bush has good public speaking skills (although what he chooses to say, is, as always, up for debate).

Dream, I said something good about Clinton, since according to you Clinton IS Bush you are wrong, I did say something good about Bush.
Under Blairs Labour government the British economy is better than ever.
More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
No one can see their reflection in running water. It is only in still water that we can see.

I’m not sure how many pros and cons I can come up with. I don’t tend to look at things from a Pro-Bush or Anti-Bush perspective. I’ll start off with these two:
BAD: Marriage Amendment. This is was just dumb. I understand that the desire was to counter judicial legislation (for some), but it was the wrong way to go about it. If prohibition taught us anything, it is that the Constitution should not be used for social engineering.
GOOD: Faith based initiatives. These are good ideas. We need more like them. Religion is an excellent tool for helping the needy and constructing positive responsible attitudes in a community. It is a tool that the government should exploit to more effectively accomplish what costly government programs attempt to do without broadening government control over a sector they were never supposed to be in control of.
Nihil est incertius vulgo, nihil obscurius voluntate hominum, nihil fallacius ratione tota comitiorum.
Nothing is more unpredictable than the mob, nothing more obscure than public opinion, nothing more deceptive than the whole political system.

Strongly anti-Bush, but....
His ideas (pre 9/11) about guest worker status for Mexicans and the deal he was working on with Vicente Fox... Brilliant!
MAL "You only gotta scare him."

Simple. State if you are pro or anti bush.
Give a pro
Give a con
Would be better if we didn't have this: Good________ah still thinking______ah?
We get it when you state pro or anti.
Play fair people.

Citizen,
fair enough, except that the pro-bush people here for the most part don't support clinton, so it doesn't work. Blair I do accept as a substitute. Really, the rule here is for you to break out of your mold. If you thought of clinton as a good guy, or on your side, then say something good about him is not worth anything.
Finn,
Glad to see you joined us. I think you were sort of being rough on my position there.
I agree on both points. I wasn't always a Hezbollah-loving Bush-hater. Before I sacraficed goats to the prophet I used to support him. He lost me after a collection of these, I think torture was the final straw, but the spending had been getting to me for a while, and the patriot act, though it was more of a bipartisan effort, Viet Dinh is a republican partisan.
There were a lot of good things on the domestic agenda which haven't gotten as far as I'd like to see, certainly faith based initiatives are a much better idea than clinton's faith based initiative in waco.
As for Bush, he invited Stephen Colbert to give the media dinner address, which shows that he actually does have balls and is willing to put someone up who will really tear him down. Which is my compliment for the post.

'Trove, The beauty of the Colbert thing is watching Bush sit there. Could he be any cooler? Say what you want about him. I say cowboy tough!
