[conservative physics]

add this to the long list of things I disagree with Bush on.

- education bill drafted by Ted Kennedy
- not repealing every Presidential order ever made by Bill Clinton
- not prosecuting Bill Clinton for the crimes he committed in office
- continued funding for PBS and the Arts
- prescription drug benefit
- not fighting hard enough for school vouchers
- not fighting hard enough for oil drilling in ANWAR
- federalizing airport security
- closing down "private" aviation for over a year after 9-11
- refusing to crack down on illegal emigrants
- offering amnesty to illegal emigrants
- appointing Bill Clinton to oversee the tsunami relief
- original nomination of Harriet Myers
- not supporting the conservative republican that ran against Arlen Specter
- not defending many of his federal appeals court picks vigorously enough
- not leveling Felicia from 30,000 feet and instead going door to door
- handing over Saddam to that kangaroo court in Iraq
- not telling the courts to stuff it, when they started affording terrorists at Guantanamo constitutional protections.
- not having executed even a single prisoner captured in battle dressed in civilian clothes yet.
- not prosecuting the editors and reporters of the NYT responsible for publishing the NSA wiretap information for treason.
- calling Islam the "religion of peace"
- visiting multiple mosque's after 9-11
- and now "fighting" to allow Muslims to manage our ports which everyone knows is one of our weakest spots when it comes to national security.
the sad thing is ... even though I disagee with Bush on all the above... Bush is a million times better than either of the 2 options we were given.

You forgot to add on your list, "signing the McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Reform Act"!

I think one reason this has become such a lightning rod issue is because most Americans don't trust Muslims, period. HELLO, GEORGE, WE DON'T TRUST THEM!! The President repeatedly referring to Islam as a "religion of peace" doesn't help matters, either. That is right out of the CAIR Play book, and we don't like that either...

I also believe a lot of the current explosive passion stems from Bush's inability/unwillingness to do much concrete about effectively closing our borders while allowing millions of illegal aliens to pour in, then not pro-actively trying to get them back out - all the while proposing "guest worker" plans, which is really amnesty dressed up in a tight skirt sprinkled with cheap perfume.

Americans - even his supporters (and I am one) - are really pissed about what is going on. We have just about had it up to *here* with our leaders sucking up to the rest of the world and giving away the (our) store all while the world continues to laugh up it's sleeve at us and screw us in every imaginable way.

The Harriet Myers Debacle should have clued this Administration that all as not well with the restless natives here in River City and we aren't happy with a lot of the direction things are going. This is jut one more long, painful nail in what we feel is a tighter domestic coffin. We pay our taxes, we try to support the best politicians we can - and we seem to get continually stiffed politicians, including Bush, who is either stone cold deaf or has the tinniest ear in Washington.

It's bad enough a huge part of this country is already hopelessly Liberal and doing everything it can to deep six our efforts. We have to fight on numerous fronts just to hold the country and our Constitution barely together against tall the enemies, foreign and domestic. Now, this shows up on our plate and Bush threatens to veto it? Who is he kidding? Where was he when McCain-Feingold and the Bridge To Nowhere and a hundred other outrages showed up on his desk and he looked the other way, and now this is the hill he has decided to die on??

Give me a break....
