OK.OK.. I use "moron" as agitprop when what I mean is "dupe" just like ol' "Read my lips no taxes".. was.. The boy is a dupe. The only question is, a dupe of whom.?..
One thing, the boy is obviously not a republican.. maybe hes a democrat.. He seems to be for an almost free democracy, not a free republic.. Big difference between a democracy and a republic.. especially this republic.. Bush seems to be a democrat not by what hes says, but by what he DOES.. just like his Daddy.. BOTH are RINOs.. judging by what they do not what say.. and sometimes by what they SAY TO..
"I'm a Unite'er NOT a Divide'er".. is a suspicious statement especially since he spends a lot of time Uniting with democrats and 3rd world drug lords like Vincente Fox.. But then I suppose there are a few simpletons that are unaware Fox IS the figuehead of (a) drug cabal(s)-(Mexican gov't).. and that mexicans coming across the border are not immigrants but insurgents(most of them)..
Its true, I don't like Bush, never did, from the moment he entered the primary's.. right after Salon.com broke the possibility of him running for Prez..
Said I; Salon? mentioning a republican for the primary's in a positive light?.. Somethings wrong here.. I need to keep an eye on this ringer.. Bush has not failed to disappoint.. Whats really amazing is the democrats have judicially failed to mention "read my lips no new taxes".. at all..
And easy gaff.. to suppose the democrats missed it, is to fly in the face of Occams Razor.. They didn't miss it.. So I ask again.. The only question is, a dupe of whom.?.. maybe he isn't a dupe but a ringer, a shill.. because he sure is NOT a republican.. The only, BushBot just might be BUSH HIMSELF..
"The only question is, a dupe of whom.?.."
Everyone who thinks seriously about our government wanders a hall of mirrors sometimes. The selection of the President is a huge compromise and bound to be disappointing to many.
Bush has severe limitations, granted.
"uniter not divider" is political rhetoric. It is a counterattack against the media portrayal of him as Hitler II. It also happens to be true, Bush is a uniter. See his Texas history. That is Bush's personality. And its not bad, as rhetoric. Sometimes, when a fight is needed, being a uniter is bad for the country, I'll agree.
Pause a moment and consider the past 4-1/2 years. The nation might be in much worse shape than it is, in many ways. Having a uniter at the helm has some advantages in a time like this.
As far as Fox, Bush tried to be his "friend" and Fox spit in his face. Fox is a complete political failure. He thought this would help him, but it didn't. Bush does not handle attacks on his person well (see 1st debate with Gore)
Bush has many limitations. He's not real smart, but not stupid either. But he has prevented a 2nd terror attack on the US, taken the offensive in the Middle East, pretty effectively, avoided a major recession after the twin disasters of 9-11 and the burst of the 90's Internet Bubble, in large part via the tax cuts.
He's been President in a difficult period, and kept the country in good shape. If you want to delve a little into his character and intentions, research Dick Cheney, the rock he depends on. Probably the best American we have right now. Rummy is 1st rate also. (As you've acknowleged, good advisers. But doesn't this contradict your evaluation of Bush as a tool of sinister interests?)
