Every once in a while it's good to post GWB's accomplishments, just to let these Bush haters see how silly they are.

Stopped the KYOTO GLOBAL WARMING TREATY which would have pus the US economy into a disastrious decline.

Stopped the US-CCCP ABM Treaty that prevented the US from deploying our ABM defenses.

Began construction of the first 10 ABM silos in Alaska so American has a defense against North Korean nukes.

Pushed through three (3) raises for our military.

Signed Executive Order reversing Clinton's policy of not requiring parental consent for abortions under Medical Privacy Act.

Fighting a successful War on Terror by getting world wide cooperation to shut down terror funding. Captured many key leaders of alQaeda and other terror networks.

Led the nation through two wars, Afghanistan and Iraq, freeing 50 million people who had lived under tyrannical regimes.

Convinced Libya to disarm of chemical, nuclear and biological WMD’s little bloodshed or bribes.

Signed TWO bills into law allowing our pilots to carry handguns in the cockpit.

Pushing for immunity from lawsuits for our national gun manufacturers. Told the United Nations we weren’t interested in their plans for gun control (i.e. the International Ban on Small Arms Trafficking Treaty)

Brought back our EP-3 intel plane and crew from China without bribes or bloodshed. (Remember that, folks)

Signed the largest nuclear arms reduction in world history with Russia.

Changed the White House into a respectable place. Restored Honor and Dignity to the Presidency.

Initiated discussion on private medical accounts, and possibly private Social Security accounts.

TAX CUTS !! Turned around economy which was in recession in 2001 when he took office.

Orchestrated continued Republican control of the House and Senate.

Trying to push through conservative federal judges. Stopped the liberal ABA’s role in promoting woosy, liberal federal judges.

Passed tough new laws to punish corporate criminals, most of whom pillaged their respective businesses during the GoGo 1990s when the SEC cared little about corporate malfeasance.

Reduced taxes on dividens and capital gains.

Eliminated the IRS marriage penalty. Increased small business incentives to expand and hire new people.

Signed into law the No Child Left Behind legislation, delivered the most dramatic education reforms in a generation, challenging the soft bigotry of low expectations.

Passed partial liability reform to eliminate frivolous lawsuits by preventing "Judge shopping" in the federal system.

Supports class action reform bill which limits lawyer fees so more settlement money goes to victims.

Submitted comprehensive Energy Plan to Congress, which should produce more oil and gas here at home while developing cleaner technology energy.

Challenged the United Nations to live up to their responsibilities and not become irrelevant.

Changed forest management Act to allow necessary clean-up of national forests, thereby reducing fire danger.

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

Agreed. Look at my posts on FR. I give the President credit where it is due and criticism where it is due. I have many beefs with W, but he's done a lot of good too and deserves credit.

I'm no Bush-basher. He's done great on Missile Defense and is doing the best he can against the Jihad given the current political comate. However, I fail to see any real difference between the current GOP-dominated government and the Dems where the Big Issues (abortion, income tax, borders, and economic/energy security) are concerned. You write that W

Brought back our EP-3 intel plane and crew from China without bribes or bloodshed... yes -- after the ChiComs finished taking plane and crew apart for intel purposes. No victory there...

Initiated discussion on private medical accounts, and possibly private Social Security accounts = talk. The Republican-dominated Congress allowed both ideas to die...

Tried to push through conservative federal judges = talk. The Republican-dominated Congress allowed most candidates to be dropped from consideration...

Reduced taxes on dividends and capital gains; eliminated the IRS marriage penalty; increased small business incentives to expand and hire new people... he loosened our chains a bit, but Massa (the IRS) still exists...

Submitted a comprehensive Energy Plan to Congress, which should produce more oil and gas here at home while developing cleaner technology energy...= talk. The Republican-dominated Congress will never take any real action against Big Energy...

Challenged the United Nations to live up to their responsibilities and not become irrelevant... = talk. The Republican-dominated Congress will never take the US out of the UN.

My thesis is simple: President Bush and the GOP-dominated Congress have been in power for five years, and yet abortion is still legal, the IRS still exists, the borders are flooded with illegals, and we're still running the country on credit cards and imported oil.

I see talk, talk, talk, but no real change where it counts. Sorry.
