I honestly thought about 90% of ETers would have agreed with me...I voted for Bush in 2000 and 2004...and I would again...he restored honor to the White House...serious thoughts...
End NASA, silly Mars stuff and all US space programs = Solves US Economy problems

If by "saved," you mean "violently, unnecessarily, and tragically eliminated," I have to agree with you. Since I think you didn't, I'll have to mark you up as a raving lunatic.
Wow. Where to start with this statement...Well, not enough time in the day at this point. That's your opinion and you are entitled. All I can say is look at the state of the Republican party now and how they've been doing in congressional elections and that pretty much sums up how Bush did as president. It is sad really. The Republican party has (had) a proud tradition until this administration.
Supporting this unnecessary war... is supporting violations of the Geneva Conventions (which we signed), The UN Charter (which we signed), Nuremberg Principles (We We Promote) and the Constitution of the USA under which only Congress declares war not an out of control Unitary Executive...
You should support law, international law.. true justice, a true integirity... not an irresponsible, sociopathic amoral individual like Bush...
I am a conservative...
I believe in the Conservation of Our Constitution not the shredding of it.
I believe in the Conservation of Our Financial Resources (not the present fiscal irresponsibility)
I believe in the Conservation of our Military for the TRUE defense of our country and not a War on A Word (terror)
I Believe in the Conservation of USA Honor which Bush has shat away to say the least.
You should stand for truth... justice and compassion... not some biased support of some radical liberal neo-con ideologue like Bush... very serious thoughts indeed..
