If you disagree with his policies/views, then yes. Yes you can.Lost Hope wrote:
So, you're saying that we can bash him without any problems, because he's an evil hippie liberal commie.
You're right actually, he's a liberal coward that hid during Vietnam, consuming whiskey and cocaine as every tree hugging hippie liberal does.Mason4Assassin444 wrote:

That makes him not only a hippie commie liberal, but a bad role model. He is saying to children,"if you skip out of your military duty, become an alcoholic, consume Scarface size piles of coke, you too can be President.Lost Hope wrote:

He should be do anti drugs ads: "Don't do drugs kids, or you'll end up like me".

But we can turn this into a debate about the meaning of the words liberal and conservative (even if it has been done a lot of times).

Part of the "me" party. Let those ass's in Washington play the two party game.Stingray24 wrote:
Ok then. I agree with GWB on somethings (abortion, ESCR, 2nd amendment) and disagree on others (border security) so what am I?
How about the "me conservative" party since I consider most of my views to be conservative.Mason4Assassin444 wrote:

Nor is he very conservative.Mason4Assassin444 wrote:
George Bush is NOT a neo-conservative
Wouldn't work. "You'll be a rich-assed president of the most powerful nation on the planet" would tempt people into drugs.Lost Hope wrote:

Because its the answer to all of conervatives problems.Skexis wrote:
The question should really be why you all care about the fucking label so much.
lol nice definition, I like it. +1 Can I join the me party too?Mason4Assassin444 wrote:
Yeah GW is definitely a liberal and here is why.
I used to say I was a liberal, but today I changed. I am now falling under the "me" party. I notice that when a conservative doesn't agree with something, the person is automatically liberal. Challenge that statment if you like, and Ill pull 400,000 threads proving you wrong.
So since I do not agree with GW, I am labeling him liberal, because apparently the definition of liberal is, anyone who doesn't agree with you.
That is why, in my eyes, GW is liberal.
Good point, but I think that it could be useful if he made a speech about his past and warn people about the dangers of drugs. And if he did that, wouldn't he be viewed as a much more sympathetic person.Stingray24 wrote:
I don't automatically link conservatism with religious beliefs, nor do I automatically link liberalism to no religious beliefs. There are plenty of people who are liberal and religious or conservative and not religious.
Cocaine? That would be a no no, but he doesn't do it now. Plenty of our politicians have done drugsin the past. As long as they're not doing them now, I couldn't care less. Whiskey? He's no longer an alcoholic, which you have to give him credit for. As long as you're not an alcoholic, knock yourself out. And pour me a glass while you're at it.
Actually, that is not a logical conclusion from his statement. His statement was not an iff, so cases that do not fit the if are inconclusive.Stingray24 wrote:
I'm socially and fiscally conservative, I must do two positions in the bedroom then.
