A) The libs who hated on Bush for 8 years for 911 BS, WMD lies, and doing whatever the Saudis said,
or
B) the repubs who scream about Obama's spending, borrowing, and sucking up to world leaders?
Who is angrier?
-
repubs ...
lol
sad.
-
Definitely the Republicans... Maybe it's just the Obama haters really.
I know people hated Bush, but no one hated him until about 2003.. For the first 3 years of his presidency, even the most liberal people only worried about his Supreme Court appointment and the possibility of an overturn of Roe v. Wade.
-
Seems on this board the repubs are angrier, however that might be just becuase its more current. I see libs as always being angry no matter what's going on. :D

Agree on both counts. There would be wailing and gnashing of teeth by liberals if we had a Republican president. Just depends on who is in office. And we all know conservatives are typically happier than liberals. :D

The final year of GWB was a constant bitching from pretty much everyone on this board except Joe Coach.

Was the same way when Clinton was in office. Conservatives thought he was da debil. :) Definitely a cycle.

From what understand, Eisenhower was fairly popular throughout presidency, and of course FDR.
Regarding FDR, it's amazing that the man was actually wheelchair bound but was able to hide it from the whole world.
Today it would never worked though. Too much Twitter, facebook, Youtube and mobile phones with cameras. 8)
-
I think the dems were angrier. The current crop of angry right wingers are grasping at straws.
Their anger isn't real, ...it's induced by their handlers & puppet masters.

Until hollywood makes a movie about the assination of Obama the way they did GWB, the left will always be more angry in my book.
Until the right wong shows up at obamas house in a caravan, the left will hold the title as being more angry.
I am still shocked at Obama's recklessness Nand will say I am more concerned for the nation's future than under GWB. Yes GWB sucked and was reckless, but Obama has spent more in 100 days than all pprevious presidents combined. Do you people even for a moment understand that????

I dont need a handler Jag to be upset over any of the following:
1. Quadrupling the budget deficit in 100 days and spending more than all presidents combined.
2. Taking over GM and chrysler
3. Endless walll street bailouts
4. CAP & Trade
5. Proposing massive tax hikes
6. proposing govt run health care
7. Card Check
8. having a cabinet full of tax cheats

W was actually sympathetic to Bush. I watched it, enjoyed it and felt sorry for Bush. It was an accurate portrayal.

There was another film about the Death of a President or some nonsense like that. It was about GWB getting killed.

I guess the film was lost on you totally. You probably should then listen to some of Oliver Stone`s interviews so you can get a better perspective of the entire film. I am willing to bet you did not even see it.

Bullshit 333386. Since you've never seen that movie, you have no right to comment on it.
Furthermore, I know you haven't seen it, because if you had, you'd have known it wasn't about what you claim it to be. thirdly, the movie wasn't made by the dems or the left, it was made by a British filmmaker, and focussed on the fascism taking place within the USA. If anything, one could call it a cautionary tale that implored people NOT to do what so many considered a rather expediant solution.
And btw, ...it was a damned good movie!

I may piss you off, but I dont see too many people proving me wrong on anything with factual data.
I think all americans had a right to be angry with the GOP, and I was too!
However, when Obama and the Dems engage in reckless behavior you should not expect people to sit idly by and silent either.

No. But, I am thinking of changing my screen name though.
I am so sick of the left vs right thing to be honest.
GWB did many things that all people should be upset about.
The same is true of Obama and what he is doing.

I don't necessarily disagree, but I think the jury is still out on Obama... I think it is possible that if you ask me the same thing towards the end of 2010 that I may not be as easy going about Obama's policies, but I have to give him the opportunity to try to do the things he believe will help this country.
Road blocks will not fix anything.

I would agree with you but for the fact at the speed at which he is pushing major things without debate, discussion, or reflection.

I expected nothing else, the man is a crook, all of his past is filled with close affiliation to convicted criminals and his cabinet is the same, how can such a person be a good president?
-

I didn't like Bush when he was first elected, and then I hated the American Public for being so stupid as even remotely want to elect him the 2nd time...
actually there should be a third option...people who are angry at the American People for consistently make bad choices.

Anyone who beleives that Conservatives are angrier is living in an upside down world and do not know how to think straight. Did you people hear what that comedian had to say about Rush Limbaugh at the White House correspondence dinner? - "I hope his kydneys fail!!" How many people on the right (commentators or politicians) say that about liberals? Not many. The left now has all the power of the world and the are STILL angry!!!

They hated him enough to create lies about how he supposedly "stole the election" or that the Supreme Court "gave him the presidency" when it was clearly Al Gore who was trying to steal the election.

You forgot about him taking money from the Chrysler bond holders and giving it to his political allies.
That's because everyone knows ignorance is bliss!
No. Its because liberals are ignorant of the inherant tragedy of the human condition. So they are more shocked, more horrified, and more sensual when they see it. Conservatives accept it and know that you can only minimize it, and that if you try to completely eliminate it, you are just wasting precious resources, which actually makes things worse.

Borderline?!!! When it comes to evangelicals, ...I've pretty much crossed it. {lol}
Now that the warm weather is here, more & more of these guys are engaging in their door-to-door ministries.
I swear if one of those Jehovah witness fvckers wakes me up in the morning and tries jamming their foot in the doorpost, ...the sonofabitch is losing it. I'll hang it on the side of my doorpost like a bloody mezuzah, as a warning to all the others to keep the fvck off my property! >:(

The guy who killed Tiller sought him out, stalked him as he was going out his day to day life.

You idiot! The movie wasn't about Left vs. Right! It was about America's collective march off the cliff of insanity.
A social totalitarianism spurred by fear, disillusionment, and expedient agendas. Watch the movie then comment!

I did watch the trailer and this is a left vs right thing because Gabriel Range or whatever the heck this guys name is will predictly sit silently by while Obama does the same thing Bush does over the next 4 years. Whats funny is that Bush was never even liked by the right wing. While Bush abused power on the WOT and the like, Obama is doing EXACTLY the same thing economically.
You see Jag, you simply cant see the reality that Bush and Obama are the same, controlled by the same people, owned by the same people, but because he has a "D" next to his name, you think he somehow has some righteousness or higher moral authority than those you point the finger at.
Wake up. The GM takeover, AIG bailouts, Chysler takeover, corporate giveways to GE, they are all the same.
Like I said in the other post - 4 people were in the room for TARP - Bush,Paulson,Geithner, and Bernake.
However, you will never admit that because you cant bring yourself to admit the truth.

I did watch the trailer

Where is the part where Bush died?
The very beginning right over the opening credits at 1 min 30 seconds into the movie.
The first 1 minute 30 seconds prior to even the opening credits or titles is a Syrian women desperately questioning the sanity and lack of intelligence or foresight of certain actions, and the ramifications to be felt by future generations. Of course we don't discover until after she's done speaking at 1 min 30 seconds in, that the actions to which she refers was the assasination of the POTUS.
Even the most idiotic out there know you can't build a case to off someone in 1 min 30 seconds,
...and you certainly don't do it by depicting a very bleak future as a result of that assasination.
One of the really scary parts of that movie is, ...it was not at all far-fetched or caricatured in any way.
There was a prescient palpable plausibility that could make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck, and chills run down your spine. infact, ...I'm gonna go watch it again. ciao for now.

A review from imdb:
33 out of 47 people found the following comment useful:-
A Very Good Movie - And It Is Not Anti-Bush or Anti-American, 28 October 2006
Author: imxo
8 out of 10 stars
Death Of A President is an excellent film and is in no way anti-American or Anti-George Bush. It has great cinematography, an interesting and very plausible story line, and exceptional performances. Whether you're left, right, center, or none of the above, this is a a very good film for the thinking movie-goer.
The controversy, of course, stems from the use of the current U.S. President as the victim of an assassination. The assassination scene itself flies by and can't be more than 2-3 seconds long, so fast, in fact, you can be forgiven if you miss it altogether. It's what precedes and follows that scene that is the meat of the movie. Film footage of Bush and other real political figures is spliced seamlessly into this film, and includes footage of Vice-President Cheney and Mayor Daley of Chicago. None of these real persons are in any way abused or mis-characterized in the film. And the portrayal of fictional FBI agents, Chicago Police officers, and White House and Secret Service officials is, if anything, mostly very complimentary to them. This film does not do a hatchet job on anyone
What the use of real characters in a fictitious scenario allows the film-makers to do is to let the movie-goer realize that real actions have real consequences. And by putting real persons into a totally fictitious plot the film-makers can develop an accurate scenario - something that still can't be done with the Kennedy assassination of more that 40 years ago. We can't present an accurate portrayal of that real event even now because of the doubts cast on the whole event by the actions of our own government. The USG botched the assassination investigation so badly with its lies of omission and commission, that we will probably never know that whole truth about what happened that day in 1963. With the fictional scenario of Death of a President, though, we know exactly how things play out.
Whether you are a President, an assassin, an FBI agent, or just a movie-goer, realizing that actions have consequences - often unforeseen consequences, of course - is something we all need to be reminded of from time to time."

You are right, Colossus_500! She needs to stop that. Lots of people out there throwing around the word Evangelical, not knowing what that really is.

Colossus,
I don't lump all religions to equal evangelicals. I don't have a problem with Mormons, Buddhists, Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Baha'i's, Muslims, Confucianists, Wiccans, Taoists, Jews, Rastafarians, Pagans etc. Not even with followers of Scientology or the Great Flying Spaghetti monster. When you tell any of them to go away, ...they will. It's the damned Christian evangelicals and Jehovah's witnesses who latch on and cling for dear life. They're worse than chewing gum stuck to the bottom of your shoe on a hot day. The atheists can be a bit of a pain in the tush on occasion, ...often demanding people justify their faith, ...as if people are accountable to them for their beliefs, ...but they often tire easily of ridiculing those who don't believe as they do... but those damned evangelicals see it as their duty to indoctrinate & convert you.

You're still doing it...JW's are NOT evangelical.
A true evangelical is will just share the Gospel with you. It's up to you to make the decision to convert or not. Jag, I hardly see ANYONE an evangelical faith intimidating you into believing.

Can you please tell that to them? According to you JW's aren't evangelical. Well to me they're a pain in my ass!
As are all the super religious who insist on "sharing their gospel" with me, ...even after I tell them where to go. >:(
Then they insist on praying for me. ::) You want to help me out? You want to do some good?
Fine, save your prayers and give me some cash! One of these days, ...one of them will push me too far! >:(

I have people approach me on the street trying to give me literature all the time. Sometimes I take it, sometimes I don't. It accounts for a few seconds of my day whenever it happens. Can't imagine why it would be such a pain to anyone.
Same with JWs. They have tagged my house because my daughter was too chicken to tell them she wasn't interested (even though my wife later said so), but if you tell them you're not interested they usually don't come back. At least for a while. Even if they do, how long does it take to tell them you're not interested?
And getting upset because someone wants to pray for you? I'm not even sure how to address that one. :-\

If only it took just a few seconds, ...I wouldn't have a problem with it.
Maybe the fact that many Americans are armed might account for why it takes only a few seconds where you are.

Some of the ones in my neighbourhood don't take no for an answer. Last year I was walking into a store and there were a bunch of them in the parking lot. One of the women approached me wanting to give me all this literature. I said "No Thank You" and kept on walking. This bitch wouldn't take no for an answer. She looked at me incredulously and asked "Don't you want to know about Jesus?" I said "If and when I do, I'll go to church. NO THANK YOU!" The woman kept following me asking "What do you have against Jesus?" "Aren't you afraid of going to hell?" "Hell is a very real place you know." etc., etc., etc., The bitch followed me all the way to the bakery berating me the whole time. I was this close to slugging her when the guy from the hairdressing salon piped up saying "I want one of those". She latched onto him in a heartbeat. The ones up here are real aggressive, and don't take no for an answer.

When you tell them to leave you alone and they insist on not only praying for you, but that YOU also participate in those prayers... and then they start talking in tongues?!!! Man, ...get me the fvck outta there!
The ones that really piss me off tho, are those who impose on your friendship to ram their religion, their views and their MO's down your throat. They demand accountability for the books you read, insist on sending you volumes of religious material you don't want, and get pissed off because you refuse to read them. They make their mission to convert you to their brand of religiosity before they meet their makers, ...and if their days are numbered, ...they turn the pressure on even more. If you haven't figured it out by now, ...I'm talking about a personal experience that is trying the hell outta my patience! I'll calm down in a few days... but in the meantime... heaven help the next fvcker who approaches me in a parking lot or at my front door. They'll get the brunt of the frustration I've kept from expressing to the evangelical who drives me frikkin nuts!

I doubt the handful of places that permit private citizens to carry concealed weapons has anything to do with why people aren't very aggressive with literature on the street here.
If what you say is true, it sounds like you are surrounded by some overly aggressive people. Sounds like some of them have a screw loose. I've been around a lot of "religious" people from all over the place and I haven't encountered what you have. Sounds very out of the ordinary. The closest thing I've seen are the street preachers who are shouting at everyone (definitely a dying breed) and some extremists who come on college campuses.

They are extremely overly aggressive, both overtly and passively. That's what ticks me off about them.
They refuse to accept that other people may have their own spiritual path, or that if they happen to share the same faith, should "worship" as they do. It's the equivalent of some southern baptist holy roller insisting a staunch suburban CT housewife could not possibly be a christian because she's not jumping up & down, hoopin' & hollerin' or rolling around on the floor speaking in tongues. They challenge you to "prove you love the lord" As if you have anything to prove to them. ::)
I recognize that part of my problem is that I'm too sincere. I would love to be able to simply pay lip service to their obsessions, blow smoke up their butts, like I see so many others in their lives doing, ...but that's just not me. The minute I start to do that, ...it's all over. I lose ALL respect, ...and heaven help ya if I lose all respect for ya!
{sigh} I deal with it ...somehow. :'(
