[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

He is reaping the fruit of being driven by compromise rather than principle. In the end, everyone hates you. And what have you accomplished? Nothing, because every step forward had at least one step backwards, but usually more. Outcomes end up making no sense and pleasing nobody; they are not cohesive or productive when built on sellouts.

brought to mind the country music song
"you've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything"

Bush's attitude about pulling the world up with the "cash" of the United States and doing so with monstrous increases in the national debt ... is not a good road to be on now.

The whole one world concept, the trade debacle, the supporting of the Palestinians and "the road to peace" he is forcing on Israel is astonishing. How can he possibly believe and think it is going to work?

He seems to have lost touch with reality. Living in a world of good intentions just will not work as President of the U.S.; however much he wants to give democracy to the world.

He is a good man. His strength on defense and military is proved and necessary. Otherwise he is spending money for the tax payers like a drunk sailor in port. He is saying we are going to help Iraq rebuild their mosque. And he ignores this nations strong belief about immigration and the necessity for changes.

People that grow up in wealth have a skewed view of the working man and money. Unfortunately most candidates for major offices are from wealthy families. Is is a casual or even disdaining attitude about money. Of course not all ... just many. IMO

No Bush does have a principle.

Kerry wanted to make America part of Europe. Bush wants to make the US part of Latin America.
