Despite my other misgivings (some of them serious) about Bush's policies on campaign financr reform, immigration, offshore outsourcing (particularly to the PRC), his statement on the AWB, certain provisions of the patriot act, etc...he is still far better than Gore would have been or Dean and his ilk ever would be. He has also taken the fight directly to these animal enemies and their supporters in Afghanistan and Iraq and the credit for that is well deserved.
