>> Can't you address Bush without referencing Obama?
I'm glad to address any issue about Bush. Anyone who has been on this thread for a while knows that I have supported most of what he did. I will state here, however, that having seen the slippery slope it created for Obama, I have backed off of some of my support and now see things that I believed Bush was right about as having been abused by his successor. And as a result of that I have questioned whether the original decision was a good one.
The same thing has occurred in regard to Medicare Part D, which I believe Bush pretty much got perfect, but it created an opening for the Democrats to take a well-functioning program and turn it into a disaster. Thus, while I was against it, then for it, I now understand why it was a total disaster and it was a mistake to have done it. Because you never know what subsequent Congress' and presidents will do.
>> From what I have seen, you are the one being illogical. Illogical to the point it is hard for me to communicate with you.
You may have trouble communicating with me, but I'm not the problem. While I'm wordy, I speak in fairly clear language.
I have pointed out numerous logical fallacies in your arguments and rather than correct them and try to make your argument without them, you try to change the subject. The reason logical fallacies in arguments are not tolerated is that they invariably result in inconsistency, confusion, and wasted effort in deflecting points that are irrelevant.
If you are looking to argue with someone who will not counter your errors, you are barking up the wrong tree. When you say something that is wrong or confused I'm probably going to point it out to you. If you were truly interested in learning -- as you so commonly give lip service to -- you would try to accept these as learning moments and move on.
So, with that said, back to the original post: Obama has done essentially the same things you have accused Bush of. When Obama took office and said, "I'm closing GTMO", sensible people understood that you couldn't just do that and it had been a lie all along when Obama campaigned on it. Idiots, like Obama, believed it.
Why is it okay for Obama but not Okay for Bush? You do understand that hypocrisy totally undermines all other argument, right? |
