I did not say it was perfect. Geo. W. has done quite a number of things that I was not happy with. He tries much to hard 'to get along' with Demorats for one, prescription drug plan for another. Hopefully he will make some changes. He is certainly better than the alternative, Kerry.
A golden retriever would make a better president than Kerry. This does not, however, excuse Bush from being irrelevant/harmful on any domestic issues and a huge spender (who has never vetoed a bill and run up a defecit bigger than Clinton's; no, the war is not an excuse).
This is the mistake Republicans ALWAYS make, getting along with DemonRats means doing it there way, and when they get the chance they will turn on you like mad dogs. The Dems NEVER compromise with Republicans. When there in power the Republicans are ignored. By-partisanship is only a term Dems use when they are out of power. When in power they do not understand the term.
