People cheered GW because what he did was right.. People oppose obama because what he does is wrong.

I am talking about the comments about Bush going against the “will of the people”....

For instance?

I happened to be listening to a rebroadcast of a radio show this week on XM this morning. Sean Hannity was a guest on the show and was saying how great it was that George Bush didn’t listen to polls and instead did what he thought was right. He was speaking generally.

Here is Bill Bennet on Hannity and Colmes speaking about Bush and polls

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,178673,00.html

“But it really doesn’t matter. What matters is the state not of the polls but the state of his conviction, and his conviction looks pretty clear. “

Remember, Cheney also spoke out and said that you shouldn’t listen to polls. He was applauded by conservatives for that as well.

So why are polls now important to Republicans/Conservatives?

That was second guessing from 2005.
In early 2003 @ 60% Americans supported military force to remove Saddam from power. You would have expected Bush to just leave Iraq in 2005 because of polls? What else you got?

No, I personally wouldn’t expect Bush to leave because of polls. I would expect all Presidents to lead instead of just reacting to polls. I may not agree with what the President is doing but no President, Republican or Democrat, should prevent themselves from doing what they think is right just because polling data claims that the American people do not agree.

Some of those involved in the 7/7 bombings were physicians in the UK. Why would a physician want to kill innocent people? Because he’s an islamic terrorist as well.

They imported physicians from places like Pakistan because there is a doctor shortage in the UK. Why? Because of socialized medicine.

Again Image proves his stupidity.

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as “bad luck.” - Robert Heinlein

Why would anyone want to kill innocent people? Because their hate overwhelms their reasoning. It can, and does, happen to anyone. BTW - that was June 7, 2005, not July 7.

Annnddd… government sponsored health care and terrorism are non sequitur. It’s just more xenophobia from the right.
