and r.e. graduating from an ivy league college and scoring 1300 on his sat's, i dare say that was 30 years ago, a different time and a different world. have you heard the guy speak without a script in 2003?
it isnt my primary intention to piss people off, but damn, it seems so obvious to me. he's not the sharpest tool in the shed, but i guess if you got the money to put something on tv, you gonna sell lots of it.
i suppose i just excel at being the smaller man.

QuoteI don't agree with everything he does, but i still think he's doing an overall good job and fulfilling his commitments to the people.
I don't. I think he has completely ignored all domestic issues and broken most of his campaign promises.
Examples:
-What happened to privatizing social security?
Anyone heard anything about this?
-What happened to campaign finance reform?
He promised to sign McCain Feingold bill while campaigning, then said he would veto when he got to office.
-What happened to "free trade from northernmost Canada to the tip of Cape Horn."?
He imposed 29% tariff on soft wood imports from Canada
Then there are his political appointments...I'm sure these people were the best qualified and nepotism had nothing to do with it:
-Elizabeth Cheney, the vice president's daughter, deputy assistant secretary of state
-Her husband, Philip Perry, left the Justice Department to become chief counsel for the Office of Management and Budget
-Much much more, too much too list http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?pagename=article&node=&contentId=A10476-2002Mar11¬Found=true
Then there's his famous "leave no child behind":
-Weeks before the invasion of Iraq he removed compensation to schools that teach children of military personnel off base
-School lunch funding cut to increase livestock relief program
-Eliminated requirement that drug companies perform testing of affects on children for adult medications commonly given to children
I could go on and on.

Well, i hope you plan on working a bit more and spending a bit less. With $87 BILLION needed for Iraq, you will be paying more taxes at some point. But Bush will probably just leave it for the next guy, because other than waging war, he really has done nothing else of any substance.

Oh, he always looks like that. Complaining about that is like complaining about Cheney being fat.
After listening to it, I got the following:
Iraq is 'ground zero' for terror, and beating the crap out of terrorists there will prevent terror pretty much everywhere else. It's my #1 priority, way more important than civil rights here, but not so important that I'm going to raise taxes to pay for it, cause that could cost me the election. We need 87 billion just to tide us over until the next request; we'll deal with those messy "where does the money come from" questions after the next election.
Not quite sure what's going to happen over there. Iraq will either be a bastion of democracy and freedom or an evil tyrannical terrorist-breeding state; I really can't see any other possible outcomes. After all, our allies over there are all bastions of democracy and human rights. Fortunately, there are only two kinds of Iraqis - peaceful, democracy-supporting formerly oppressed Iraqis who love the US, and evil tyranny supporting terrorists - and they're easy to tell apart. If we killed them, they're the latter. That makes this war the most humane one ever fought.
And remember all that stuff about "you're with us or you're against us?" And about how France was part of the "old Europe", not part of the future? And about how we don't need the UN? Well, now we need you guys; we'd rather have French soldiers die than American soldiers. So send us some troops that we can send to their deaths, and maybe we'll just call you foolish instead of blithering idiots in the future. But don't ask about that oil; Cheney's company already has that contract all sewn up.
Finally, I want to thank our men and women in the Armed Forces for their unwavering loyalty and commitement. To show I stand behind you 100% I've rolled back hazardous duty pay, and I'm cancelling that increase in survivor benefits for families of active military.
Thank you and god bless america.

Come on, billvon, you're always oversimplifying things... I'm sure the US wouldn't mind France kicking in a few billions to help pay for this as well.

And lots of very smart people did neither. His commitment to "winning the war on terror" could be seen as admirable. His "I and mine define what constitutes winning, and we can change our minds" is not. Because while he is the leader of the executive branch, the power is to be vested in the office and the structure that supports it -- not in the particular people who are there.
That's a significant part of why our government has withstood the changes it has, because it's the office. Of course, when you're in power for 4 or 8 years, you tend to focus on the short term, because the US is quite power-oriented, and getting more so.
We as voters have to educate ourselves in the long-term view, so that we can make sure the elected officials pay some attention to it.

Liberals just hate that fact that most Americans believe GWB to be an inherantly honest man.
BTW, there are as many Muenkel's in Massachusetts voting for Bush as their are Kennedy's voting Democrat. I enjoy cancelling out their votes.
