I beg to differ. We are not "Gloomy about Bush's accomplishments". We are growing gloomy over the prospect of Bush's accomplishments being rolled back by the Democrats and their media's increasing pessimism. Watch any of the so call "news" outlet in this country and it looks like America is losing in Iraq. It looks like the Bush administration is falling apart. It looks like the Bush administration is rife with corruption. Some here have questioned President Bush's nomination of Harriett Meir's to the Supreme Court. AND many, me included are absolutely disgusted with the Republican party and it's so called leadership. however overall most conservatives are pretty darn happy with President Bush.
We are very worried about the prospect of the next President ending the war on terror much as Ike ended the Korean war with out victory and Ford abandoned the South Vietnamese to the mercy of the North Vietnam Communist.
I believe that as soon as the Democrats get a majority in either house of Congress or they can get enough liberal Republicans to vote with them, they will cut off funding for the war on terror.
At that point this nation will cease to be a viable deterrent against any form of aggression against any of our allies or even ourselves.

I thin you did a very good job with your post, and I agree with most of what was said.

I think the real issue is people want things done now. And there is always a snails pace movement in the government to get anything done.

I personally will not gain anything on what has been done with respect to spending, except the highway bill that might repair a few pot holes in the roads around me. But, for the most part the spending that people seem to be so outraged about, I feel is mostly justified.

Money to fund the war (I supported the decision to go in so I should support the ongoing efforts)

Money to help out with both hurricanes. (I see that as necessary, but I wish the number was lower)

Funding the Department of Homeland security (necessary unless I want to see the war on the US soil)

Prescription drugs (I have not seen actual costs, but it was a campaign promise)

The Highway Bill (I did not agree with all the earmarked spending, but understand that it was necessary for persons to keep position in congress)

I have probably missed a lot of spending areas and people here on this forum can point out which ones they disagree with.

Harriett Meir's - So far there is no indication that she is going to be Liberal and it appears that she is qualified for the position. I still am not apposed to her nomination, although I would like to know more, I don't think we will find out which side she will lean toward till after her confirmation. I still see Rove's hand in this nomination, so I think this will be interesting.

Well, I'm not gloomy at all. I'm going to work my tail off to ensure that we get a 2008 Prez and congress that will finish the job right.

The Dems offer NOTHING. And with hillary, Reid, Kerry and Pelosi as their leaders, they will not regain power if conservatives remain united.
