I agree. President Bush & the GOP have simply not been given enough credit for an impressive economy over the past several years, but the media and Democrats will be more than willing to pretend ANWR and environmental restrictions don't exist and tie the Pubbies to high gasoline prices. And voters will likely be susceptible.

Needs to be shouted out:

The media is as biased as it has ever been and is responsible for the under-appreciation of Bush wrt economy. It's all about hurintg conservative agendas ... They want a 'kinder and gentler' GWOT, UN running our foreign policy, eco-extremism, gay marriage, US sovereignty --- and I'm not talking about leftwing Democrats, I'm talking about the New York Times. We need alternate means of getting the message to people around the MSM.
