Given that the federal budget was $413 billion in the red last year, Bush lacks much of the traditional capital available to spend on his priorities.
-he is spending it on his priorities..killing people and taking away our rights.
Conservatives who are deficit hawks are unhappy with Bush's spending plans and his failure thus far to use his veto. Social conservatives want him to do more to advance their agenda and some are peeved about his push to liberalize immigration.
-Now I knew we were down a lot of money, and that even some conservatives dislike Bush, but I didn't know that he was pushing to liberalize immigration. I don't really know too much how I feel about immigration...but(from a different article completely unrelated to Bush):
He said nations gain, however, many benefits from immigration and looser borders, particularly economic benefits.
-But that's just like outsourcing our jobs. If immigrants come in and they will work for less, people are going to lose their jobs to them. Yea, it's cheap labor, but...
Poverty alone almost never causes immigration, and usually only a small part of a nation's population will emigrate, he said.
-I suppose, but what about that whole immigration thing with the Potato Famine? I bet there are a lot of underdeveloped, economically poor countries with thousands of people that would love for the opportunity to come here if they could.
"Most people around the world -- like in the United States -- are reluctant to move," he said.
-We're reluctant to move because we already live here. And we're not gonna move to another country because in most cases even though Bush sucks ass and it's hard to find a job and Social Security may be caput and all that other crappy stuff, we still know that America is the best place to live.
He said a combination of economic disparities and other factors -- including political instability, discrimination and persecution -- pushes people out or attracts them to other places.
-I'm starting to not like this immigration thing...economic disparities, political instability, discrimination and persecution...that list isn't too specific, a lot of countries are going through one if not all of them right now. Hell, the US is going through economic disparities right now, political instability could be argued as a current issue, and discrimination and persecution...well. gaymarriagepeacefulprotestrightsrighttoprivacyawoman'srighttochoose. i rest my case. moving back to Bush:
At the height of the campaign, C.I.A. officials, who are supposed to serve the president and stay out of politics and policy, served up leak after leak to discredit the president's Iraq policy.
-Even they don't like him. Fucking a, how did this ass get elected?
There were leaks of prewar intelligence estimates, leaks of interagency memos. In mid-September, somebody leaked a C.I.A. report predicting a gloomy or apocalyptic future for the region.
-Well, did we really need that emmo to know that it wasn't going too well?
Later that month, a senior C.I.A. official, Paul Pillar, reportedly made comments saying he had long felt the decision to go to war would heighten anti-American animosity in the Arab world.
-Bush said that we need the countries in that region to support us. Bombing and destroying their neighboring country is definitely a good way to get that support.
