With regard to the fillibuster, thank the seven turncoats who voted to compromise with the rats.
I voted for him once and against Kerry the 2nd time. I am not pleased with Bush at all on the domestic front. Had Clinton tried to do many of the things that Bush signed onto, he'd have been tarred and feathered -- for trying. Bush does them and we defend him.
Clinton may likely be the worst man ever to be president, but we did get him to sign 7 of the 10 items in the CWA. We did realize that he was an enemy and we were always on guard against him. Gun ownership went up dramatically.
Bush came on duty and many people went to sleep. Now we have The PATRIOT Act, CFR, the Kennedy Education bill, higher (non-defense) spending since LBJ, part one of Hillary care with the Greedy Geezer Drug Benefit bill, etc, etc, etc.
Judging on what was accomplished or destroyed Bush isn't looking good.
