Isn't the Bush administration, more like a Dictatorship?

Question

With the telephone taps, firing of members that don't agree with policies, investigating rivals, starting wars for thier own finacial gain and not hiring democrats and liberals(which is illegal) as well as using scare tactics for political purposes, isn't that more like a dictatorship.

Answer 1

john, you haven't studied any dictatorship very completely have you?

A leader that fines his people don't agree with him or want to go another way and make this public against him are replaced for good reason.

To investigate anyone is not his office it is the FBI and they have a set of rules they must follow.  Bill Clinton was said to have done the same thing, but then it was the other said saying that then.

As for scare tactics, they aren't used by our government.  If we did that we would start a riot and cause a lot of death and the fear would spread and you would hear about it it town to town, not from a radio or TV host or new paper.

I hope this helps you to understand the working so for our government.  if not, apply for a gov in gov. and try to get it changed please.  you still have that right and as well the one to write this, both you wouldn't have had in a directorship.

Answer 2

certainly they would like to be.

specifically, cheney would like it to be.

bush sure wouldn't mind.

and they've gathered a bunch of like minded folks around them.

bush, cheney, etc were so pushy that Jim Jeffords quit the republican party in 2001.

as for <<not hiring democrats and liberals(which is illegal)>> that's his prerogative.

however, firing prosecutors because they don't file bogus suits against democrats clearly is illegal.

but don't you find it interesting that, now that he sees there's no way he's going to get any more of his "gifts for the rich" passed, he's thinking about what else he'll be remembered for.

Answer 3

Bush is not running for anything. bashing him is boring. Try and other way to spend your time.

Answer 4

Look at the other side.

Actually, it's more like a completely impotent democratic congress.  They have truly been inept. Lower ratings than even Bush.

After all, we do have checks and balances.  If you want to complain about what it's doing.  Your blame needs to fall squarely on the shoulders of those who could, but won't stop him

With that said, you're looking at this through a very filtered, and distorted lens.  None of the policies you have so exaggerated are illegal or true for that matter.

Since when does he "have" to hire an liberal? Even then, he held many people over from the Clinton administration.  Clarke for one, and half the state department are liberals.

Look at things objectively, not emotionally.

Answer 5

hmm...seems like some Dems have done some of the things listed in the past as well......

Answer 6

Yes.

Answer 7

Funny how Bill Clinton's name is so interchangable in that description.  Except with Clinton you'd almost have to add morally bankrupt, rape, bribery, felon, and war crimes to the list.

Answer 8

He is more like a dictatorship than any president we've had.  He is the most secretive, the least respectful of Congress and their constitutionally mandated oversight responsibility.  He has completely ignored the constituitonal limits of his office, even declaring himself immune to the laws he himself has signed (more than 1500 times so far!)

He's had a number of members of his administation quit in disgust (or get fired in disgust) and then write tell-all books about the internal goings-on, the latest being his ex press secretary Scott McClellan.

He will be seen by history as the corrupt president we've ever had.  His whole administration is as crooked as a plate of spaghetti.

Answer 9

iS IN THISE TO LATE SHOW

why dont we ask Chavez?

Answer 10

You are severly confused.

fs

Answer 11

You have never lived in a true dictatorship. And if you did actually research into american history you would know better.Tell me something, how many conservatives did Clinton hire in his 8 years? Did you know that a far more extensive wiretapping program was underway in the 90s (when we were not at war) Did you hear of the Clinton administration using the IRS to harrass people that complained about them? And this president has never to my knowledge used scare tactics on anyone.  Your entire statement is incorrect and misleading, typical of what liberals say. I expect more in the same vein in the coming months.

Answer 12

He is no different than Fidel Castro. Crushing those who oppose him.  His evil regime has ruled with an iron fist for 12 of the last 20 years and they are trying to expand their tyranny another 4 to 8 years. Scary.

Answer 13

I would say so

Answer 14

Karl Rove, grandson of a member of Hilter's elite, studied Mr. Hilter's plan  carefully and organized the White House accordingly.

Like the 3rd Reich, The Bush Administration, which was supposed to last a thousand years, has crumbled in seven.

Answer 15

Oh yes. We'd be so much better off with a bleeding heart Liberal Democrat president who thinks we can still talk the terrorist into not trying to kill us. The sad aspect of it is if the herd mentality Koolaid drinker Liberal Dems have their way it will be too late when they finally realize how scary wrong they were.

Answer 16

No I do not. To call Bush a Dictator is dumb and I think you are just talking  out of your ***. Also to you people who compare him to Adolf H you make me sick. Why don't you ask a Jew who was in a death camp what they think of that. They would  toss you in a gas chamber you jackass.

Answer 17

yes stop bashing him we need to move on to more important subject like what this guy's minister believes and what the other guy had for breakfast.  

Gimme a break, people are so dismissive of reality and what really matters and so infatuated with nonsense and are dismissive of important topics and care about nonsense

Answer 18

It is called a "Bush Reich"   A Third Reich on Steroids.

Wow.  Folks are sensitive.  Truth hurts.  Cheney and Rumsfeld are a couple of scary guys.  This administration selectively follows the law.  Found "Weapons Of Mass Destruction".  Invades sovereign countries.  Taps everybody's phone and Internet service, then asks for laws to sanction the transgression.
