You are THE PERFECT cheerleader for the band of losers grinding our nation's credibility and economy into the ground.
Have fun blowing 50% of your taxes on paying 1)deficit interest and 2)military waste.
A bit harsh (the entire post), but certainly not completely inaccurate.
That Bush is worshipped by "20 somethings" is just amazing to me.
Here I am in my 50's. Bushes tax cuts and policies actually work nicely for me on a personal basis. They benefit me financially in more than a couple of ways. Yet still, I think for the country on the whole, he just flat out is a disgrace. And is making a disgrace of our country along with himself.
People hated Clinton for his abhorrent moral behavior. The religious right came up with murder and drug-running conspiracies about Clinton. (As they would have with anyone who did not pander to their cause, as Bush does).
People hate Bush for his arrogance. Was Clinton arrogant? Yeah, he thought he could get away with having sex on the job. And lied about it. OK, he was probably not the first guy, or even the first president to do this. But did he go to war for fun and profit? No, he wasn't quite that arrogant.
But Bush.....what American President had such blood-lust? Hell, even that SOB Johnson agonized over Vietnam. So did the slimy Nixon.
Bush has made the Presidency into a "for profit" business. (Like he needs the money anyway).
Here is my prediction. People will vote with their pocketbooks and by watching the debates. Next year, the voters will ask themselves if they are better off now than they were before Bush was in office. And they again will see the "deer in the headlights" brain dead Bush in debates. There will not be another Gore. No one else could possibly be capable of winning the debates, winning the popular vote, and losing the election (and his own state because of bad judgement alone). The guy had less personality than MrMarket, and less charisma than Max401. The Democrats will not let the same mistakes happen again. Now they know what they are up against. Finding a qualified and charismatic candidate can't be impossible. The only thing impossible is not to find issues with which to pound Bush into the ground. Deeply.
Bush will NOT be re-elected. He may even lose in a landslide. Barring a miraculous economic recovery, the finding of WMDs in Iraq, the capture of Saddam, and the capture of UBL.
So far, he is O for 4.
Peace,
