Quote[reply How much do you think the city makes by having the Inauguration there?
Who cares how much the city makes. Sure, the hotels will make money and the conference planners will but what about all the small businesses that are forced to either shut down or lose substantial amounts of business because of this? I am sure joe blow office supply store doesnt appreciate losing a couple days worth of business so the POTUS can do his grandstanding.
But then again, when has Bush ever cared about the small business owner?

Your right and I corrected myself above for the bad choice of words, He lied about a question or questions that never should have been asked......
This thread wasn't about Bush or Clinton and everytime someone starts bashing Bush you say "How about the Clintons" I stated before the IMO Clinton was a whore and I would like to think President Bush is a little better or maybe you don't think since you like to compare them.
I just jacked my own thread

QuoteWho cares how much the city makes
You seemed to care how much the city spends...So how much the city makes is important. Its all part of business.
QuoteSure, the hotels will make money and the conference planners
And they will pay people to work those events.
Quotewhat about all the small businesses that are forced to either shut down or lose substantial amounts of business because of this?
You are assuming that this will happen.
QuoteBut then again, when has Bush ever cared about the small business owner?
He has not taxed them so much that they can't make a living.

Not assuming, it is a fact. All over the local news here in DC. Plus, when you shut down multiple city blocks what do you expect these businesses to do?

So its OK for the President to lie under oath?
QuoteThis thread wasn't about Bush or Clinton
Un the thread is very much about Bush and his second Inauguration. Some think he should not have it. Others think it should not be a big event (I hold this idea), Some say (incorrectly) that is is the tax payers that are paying for it all.
And in dealing with second term Presidents it is really right in line to ask about Clinton since he was the last President to have a Second Inauguration. One could also ask about Reagan, Nixon, Eisenhower , Truman, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Wilson,....I could go on, but I think you get the point. Clinton makes the most sense sense it is the closest to today.

So now you claim to defend the little guy?
Why did you not start that way?
No you started with
QuoteBush is a fucking retard.....Another 4 years of being a public idiot?
The guy is a top notch jackass. He is utterly worthless.
Your hatred for him is clearly your first priority about this. You are now fishing for another arguement.

Ron, you are acting like your buddy michael moore again by manipulating my quotes to try and get your point across.
First off, the small business comment was in response to another point someone else made, it had nothing to do with my Bush is a fucking retard comment.
Ron, please answer this question for me. Is your support for Bush based solely on the fact that you are a Republican and believe in supporting your party, or do you honestly believe that he is the best leader for our country and support him because of that?

Wrong answer. Your first post in this thread was
QuoteBush is a fucking retard.....Another 4 years of being a public idiot?
The guy is a top notch jackass. He is utterly worthless.
Do you need me to provide a link to it? http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1440557#1440557
Then only after I responded to you saying that it is your pure hatred about Bush that makes you care, and not the issue...THEN you you bitch more about Bush using Moore as your reference.
You STILL miss the point that the President does not have to be in the Oval Office to run the country.
It is clear you have no idea about how the President does his job.
Then you bitch about how the little guy has to shut down. Ignoring how much money is going to be brought into the city.
Your hatred for Bush blinds you to everything else.
It's not even fun to debate someone so blinded by hate.
So I am not going to anymore.
Here is a little idea for you. When the rest of the country is partying to celebrate the President swearing in...Hold your own little party. You can sit around and slam Bush all night, just don't bother to invite me.

Some people are blinded by hate and some are blinded by love. Many people in this forums thinks that Bush is close to the best thing that has happened to the U.S according to their posts.
If Bush family needs that ego bust, let them have their ceremony. I just think it is unapropiate to spend that much money given the situation you guys live in.
I concede that part of those millions will come back to the city, but not nearly as much money as they will be spent.

>The Balls, the parties, all the rest are paid for by the participants and supporters.
I never claimed otherwise.
>and we have been paying for it since it started with Washington.
Nor did I claim anything else. Are you looking for something to argue about?

The Presdident lives in DC, so the secret services has to be there....
I have no clue how much the city makes or should I say businesses that are located in the city.
DC sales tax alone is 9% and that applies to restaurants iirc. Don't remember off hand how much the tax is on hotels, rental cars etc. but it's very high, most likely over 20%.
