President-select George W. Bush...

If W. wins this election, then he will have only been elected for one term, since, according to Diane Kuschel - he was selected and not elected in 2000. This being the case, I will vote for a Bush 2nd elected term in 2008

President-select George W. Bush’s administration has been correctly identified as one of the most secretive in U.S. history.

By whom (that matters)?

He has rolled back civil rights,

How?

...taken us to war unnecessarily...

How?

- lying to the public about who is responsible for 9/11 -

When?

...and taken citizens on a frightening course of destruction the major media refuse to explore.

That's five accusations, all unsubstantiated by anything other than consensus Leftist opinion about what they've seen on television actually means. Must be some kind of record for one sentence.

What a fine example of:

“Do you believe everything you read?
Just because it’s printed dose not make it true”

"President-select George W. Bush’s administration has been correctly identified as one of the most secretive in U.S. history. He has rolled back civil rights, taken us to war unnecessarily - lying to the public about who is responsible for 9/11 - and taken citizens on a frightening course of destruction the major media refuse to explore."

Let's take her comments one-by-one:

1. "President-select" - The Supreme Court did not "select" Bush. It prohibited the Florida Supreme Court from re-writing election law after the election, letting stand the Florida vote and the re-count, both of which were won by Bush.

2. "One of the most secretive in U.S. history" - Based on what objective analysis, and by whom? No analysis, no research, by anyone, has been done to support this allegation. This is Dem talking points, not analysis or fact.

3. "Rolled back civil rights" - Which civil rights have been rolled-back? Possibly free speech (the campaign finance reform), but that was primarily a liberal Democrat/McCain crusade, not Bush's idea, and my bet is Ms. Dummo supports it. Yes, there are questions about the handling of a couple of the detainees under the Patriot Act, but that act was supported by a large majority of Congress. Moreover, the abuses of the Patriot Act pale in comparison to FDR's treatment of Japanese Americans, Lincoln's supension of civil rights, and government actions under Clinton at Waco. Nobody's perfect.

4. "Lying to the public about who is responsible for 9-11" - Bush has said al-Quaeda is responsible - is he wrong?

5. "A frightening course of destruction the major media has refused to explore" - The networks have not been covering the war, have not been critical of Bush? Newsweek didn't run a cover story about Bush's "fiasco" in Iraq?

To sum up: Everything in this paragraph is either false or unsubstantiated.

These people still live in a world with the clock frozen on 9/10. Its like the next day never happened and they could care less if the country's endangered as long as they get back in power.
