Bush has nothing to do with what's going on now.

He has everything to do with what's going on now. We must act quickly to get out of this mess he got us into.

As far as I've seen there have been many meetings where the press wasn't even allowed.  His words, "meetings where laws are written will be open to the public, no more secrecy".

"He didn't say, 'When there's a bill heading to my desk,' or 'When we're pretty sure a bill will soon be passed.' He said when a bill ends up on his desk ..... you will have   FIVE days....to view it!!....those are HIS lying words....not mine.

The fact remains that links to the bill were posted a full week before he signed them. Did you take time to read them and comment on them? And comment where it counts, not on some forum somewhere? Anybody?

Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

Examples, please.

Hell, no.  They don't actually want to read the bills; they just want to bitch.

Thats the excuse that keeps being bandied about by left wingers but it seems things were going fine until '06' when we had a Dem majority in congress.  That excuse it getting old real quick.  You Bush bashers had better wake up and take a real look around.

And what will you people who worshiped at the feet of Bush do?

You didn't answer my question, Henry. Did you read the bills? Would you read the bills?

You're engaged in a battle of wits with someone who thinks "things were going fine until '06"...think about it.

Did I?....NO....would I?....possibly......should I?.....YES....

That is NOT the issue though.......the issue is, HE PROMISED to do something, that he did NOT keep...it was just another "feel good" talking point, that he used in his speaches....with NO real intentions on keeping them...

I'm beginning to realize that's my problem ... I think.

Id love for me to expound on what, exactly, happened since 06 that put us in the situation we are in.
