Damn, I missed that one !
I would of loved to butcher some fresh meat.

I let his comments stand because they remind me of what a typical liberal sounds like. I picture him as a college kid with empty pizza boxes in his dorm room and froth coming out of his unshaven mouth.

Further comments from him will be banned. He has outlived his usefulness here.

Besides that, it;s far too early to be making decisions based on polling numbers. We both know that.

And to be completely honest, If McCain gets the nod, we end up with two donks running for president. If that’s the case, I would vote for the real one. (Hillary(!))

Since it was first coined in 1995 by pro-life congressman Charles T. Canady, the term “partial birth abortion” has been used in numerous state and federal bills and laws. But really Jersey, who gives a rats ass what you call it. Its reprehensible

“2. Reversed Clinton’s move to strike Reagan’s anti-abortion Mexico Policy. - I think you mean the “Mexico City Policy.” How that helps anyone is beyond me. Verdict - stupid, mean-spirited, ideological, international failure.”

Much like his jury ?

3. By Executive Order (EO), reversed Clinton’s policy of not requiring parental consent for abortions under the Medical Privacy Act. - Abuses young pregnant girls. Verdict - lowlife policy.
Actually puts parents in charge of their kids futures ? Real abuse is a parent that is denied access to its own kids medical issues. Parents must give authorization before any medical procedure is performed on their children.

“4. Made $33 million available for abstinence education programs in 2004 - all studies show AO to be useless, if not making thing worse. Verdict - failure.”

First year findings include:

Students in abstinence education programs were more supportive of abstinence and less supportive of teen sex than students not in the programs.
Students in abstinence education programs had an increased awareness of the possible consequences of teen and non marital sex.
Youth in both the experimental and control groups reported similar scores in areas such as support for marriage, self image, perceptions of peer pressure to have sex, and friends support for abstinence.
Not useless Jersey, not useless at all to teach kids to practice a little decision making

“5. Supports the Defense of Marriage Act — and a Constitutional amendment saying marriage is between one man and one woman - mean-spirited and counter-productive, still not passed anyway. Verdict - failure. ”
Not yet

“6. Requires states to conduct criminal background checks on prospective foster and adoptive parents - was already law. Verdict - benign.”

Not benign at all jersey, amended. the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA), as amended in June 2003, requires that every State conduct criminal background checks for all adults residing in prospective adoptive or foster family households.
See 42 U.S.C. 671(a)(20). States have had the option to opt out of these requirements if the Governor of a State has notified the Secretary of Health and Human Services in writing that the State has elected to make the title IV-E requirements inapplicable to the State, or if the State legislature, by law, has elected to make the requirements inapplicable to the State (42 USC 671(a)(20)(B). As of August 2006, Arizona, California, Idaho, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, and Oregon had opted out. However, the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006 (P.L. 109-248) has eliminated the opt-out provision; States must be in compliance by October 1, 2008.
Noy benign by any stretch of yours or my imagination jersey

“7. Requires schools to have a zero-tolerance policy for classroom disruption (reintroducing discipline into classrooms) - Hasn’t accomplished anything. The federal gov’t simply doesn’t have the power to do much with the schools. Verdict - failure.”

Signed the Teacher Protection Act which protects teachers from lawsuits related to student discipline. The No Child Left Behind Act, signed into law by President Bush on January 8, 2002, includes a section called the “Paul D. Coverdell Teacher Protection Act .
Its law jersey, like it or not

Well, that’s as far as I’m going.

Bush is a complete and total failure. The vast majority of the American people are worse off for his presidency. He will be remembered as a terrible, small-minded, ideologue of a president.”

“Bush is a complete and total failure ”
I’m sorry but that is just one of the most unsubstantial and bias statements ever made.
It clearly shows nothing but radical ideological and juvenile hatred beyond compare.
Also, you seem to need to restudy the English language.
There is a huge difference between a “verdict” and an “opinion”
You are by no means a jury , a judge , or an executioner. You are just one man, to say the most.
You are a closed minded individual with no respect for a decent man.
I dont care if its one unknown citizen who says such nasty stupid things or if even Laura Bush said it. I will come after them.
The common sense is this (good luck)
Every president has had his failures and accomplishments.
Anyone who says that any president is a “complete and total failure ” is just a liar and a hate monger.

1. Banned Partial Birth Abortion - there’s no such thing, clinically, as a “partial birth abortion.” Late term elective abortion was already illegal. Late term emergency abortion remains, just a couple of particular procedures were banned. Verdict - useless.

2. Reversed Clinton’s move to strike Reagan’s anti-abortion Mexico Policy. - I think you mean the “Mexico City Policy.” How that helps anyone is beyond me. Verdict - stupid, mean-spirited, ideological, international failure.

3. By Executive Order (EO), reversed Clinton’s policy of not requiring parental consent for abortions under the Medical Privacy Act. - Abuses young pregnant girls. Verdict - lowlife policy.

4. Made $33 million available for abstinence education programs in 2004 - all studies show AO to be useless, if not making thing worse. Verdict - failure.

He said: “The conduct of the Iraqi regime is a threat to the authority of the United Nations, and a threat to peace. Iraq has answered a decade of UN demands with a decade of defiance. All the world now faces a test, and the United Nations a difficult and defining moment. Are Security Council resolutions to be honored and enforced, or cast aside without consequence?
