"I don't agree with everything Bush does, but when I add up the pros and cons, Bush wins hands down and I will definitely vote for him."

Then consider yourself lucky. Your views must be different than mine. Let me make a quick, personal list.

Pros -
A few stands for the pro-life cause.
Tax cuts.

Cons -
Misguided War on Terror
Illegal, criminal aliens issue.(A big issue for me.)
Spending.(Another biggie)
Patriot Act and associated legislation.
Pandering to groups, with our tax money, that won't vote for him anyway.

A very quick and dirty list. The negs, for me, well outweigh any positives.

Let me add a few items you seem to have missed;

Killed the Kyoto Global Warming Treaty

Killed U.S. involvement in the International Criminal Court

Killed Clinton's CO2 rules that were choking off all of the electricity surplus to California.

Killed Clinton's "ergonomic" rules that OSHA was about to implement; rules that would have shut down every home business in America.
