No, I think they are wrong and I dont agree with any of them.   

What I was saying is that the attention to this came about as a result of the radicals that Obama has placed into these positions.

So you were also bitching about it when Bush was doing it?  It wasn't on your list of things you said you turned on Bush for?  Also he was doing it in this first term, you didn't have a problem?  I know for sure most republicans and neocons didn't.  I remember bitching about it under Bush, where were you guys?  I just remember crickets from the right.

I think it's only natural that a president appoints clerks to handle day to day operations.

I can't believe this is even an issue?

I was no fan of GWB, but it would be crazy to think that he he should not have any director of eg AIDS policies.

He should sit and think it up all on his own? Super idea. ::)

To be clear, I'm not so sure it was bad that Bush had czars.

They are managers able to get thigns done without beaucratic tape/limitations.

We live in a complex country.  it's reasonable to think there are 30 areas, from agriculture to defense, that require a dedicated person to coordinate all efforts so that 310 million people can have smooth, safe lives.

You might say it would be irresponsible NOT to have a person to supervise and manage these major and important services.  bush and obama would agree, as evidenced by their own czars.

Did clinton have czars?  Mccaffrey comes to mind?   How about Bush1?  Are we complaining because obama has a group of managers/czars when other presidents have been doing it for decades?

NeoCons are fuuucking hypocrites. Recently all drug addict Rush Limbaugh talks about are "Czars", as if we now live in Communist Russia. ::) Under George "the grim reaper" Bush, Limbaugh NEVER uttered the word "Czar." Now it's his favorite word.  ::)

NeoCon's are desperate and just grasping at straws.

NeoCon's are desperate and just grasping at straws.

Why would conservatives need to grasp at straws?  Because there's nothing else going on?

You grasp at straws when there's nothing left, and right now, there's everything.  The trouble is, you don't discuss any issues at hand.  You're starting threads about other posters, terminology, and STILL talking about George Bush.

As stated above, all Presidents need to appoint people to focus on different agendas.  It's the people he appointed that we have seen brought into question here (don't know about Limbaugh - I don't listen to him), not the positions themselves.

You're a broken record with absolutely no substance.  If there was a Mons Venus option on Google translator, it would spit out all your posts as "FAUX NEWS!!!  BUSH SUCKED!!! 333 and HH..." with incorrect use of apostrophes.

I think not.

My favorite is Bush's Domestic Policy Czar Karl Rove complaining on Fox that Obama's Czars can influence policy without having been elected.

He does have a point when you consider how much influence he himself had on public policy and what an absolute disaster it was for the country

I assume that was his point

I think the reason that people are wondering about czars in this administration is because there have been so many appointed in 8 months and the fact that some seem pretty wacky like for sure the guy that doesn't even believe a newborn baby is a human being.

I don't remember hearing much about czars in the last few admins but that could be because I just wasn't paying that much attention then.

Of course it mattered.  It goes to the very heart of the issue.  Do you really think that Bush alone steered the country in a direction you didn't like?  Reality is that Bush and the people he put in key positions steered the country.  Bankers got to collect welfare, not just because of Bush, but because of Bush appointees. 

You and 240 seem to be of like mind that two wrongs equal a right.  I would challenge you to try thinking for yourself and not along party lines and individually ask, "Is this person good for our country". 

Obviously, of the thousands of appointees, the majority are going to be good, solid, experienced candidates.  But, for those few questionable ones that are brought to light (such as those who admire Mao), consider if they're truly good for the country without being a party hack.

I think Rove, Cheney and a few others are the onces that influenced policy

I think Bush was mostly disengaged until the last few years when he realized his legacy was going to be shit

I don't think the Aid's Czar or the Abstince Czar or the Clean Up Czar had much influence at all

Why do we need Czars in these areas when we already have a miriad of govt agencies whose mission and function is to adress these things in the first place?

This is just more patronage. pork, and unaccountable spending that we cant afford.

I have a huge problem with anyone trying to attritube others' motives as being racist, especially not wanting to pay taxes.

Did this marxist asshole ever stop to think that people in general are sick of paying obscene taxes because they want to keep more of the fruit of their pwn labor? 

No, it has to be because WHITEY is racist. 

BTW - without these evil white people he wants to attibute motives to, the schools would be in ewven worse shape since they pay most of the taxes.  An idiot like obama does not acknowledge that.

Rush Limbaugh is a drug addict?Hmmm,he went to rehab and has had zero problem since.He had a problem with pain killers from an injured back.Pretty incredible on a bodybuilding forum we have little piss ants mocking the use of pain killers.

Now,Rush can make no laws and has zero influence over your life.Compare that to panzy ass Patrick Kenndedy who has been in rehab 4 times and they actually flew him out of rehab to vote on the climate bill.Yet,NOT ONCE do I see you or any other girl lib mock him.Not much hypocricy there.
