I've never been able to understand why you righties are so much in love

he's little more than a figurehead, and he's gotten this country into more
trouble around the world and put it at more risk than any other president
in the last 100 years. Yet none of you righties will even acknowledge he
has serious shortcomings.

Amen. I may not adhere to a conservative social agenda, but a
conservative fiscal policy makes sense to me, but Bush has brought big
government back. Not including security/defense items, spending has
ground an average of over 10% per year, much of it deficit spending. The
reasons for Iraq keep mutating. Bin Laden is still bin Missin', and the
scandals make Slick Willie's administration look clean. Let's see, there
is the WMD investigation and the Niger uranium forgeries, Cheney's Energy
Task Force, the Plame Game, the Medicare Drug Scam ($400 billion becomes
$540 billion and bribes for votes), Halliburton overcharges, the GAO
investigating the White Houses' video news releases, the Chalabi Iran
"spy ring", . . .
