Bush is an honorable man and of course I voted for him twice, but like you say, he was wrong on a lot of issues, wrong on spending and his refusal to use the veto to stop out of control spending, wrong on amnesty, wrong in backing Arlene Specter, wrong on and that prescription drugs bill of his(cost $400 Billion)..rolls eyes.
Nevertheless I'd take Bush over Hanoi John Kerry and Algore any day.
Yeah. I just finished reading “Lone Survivor”, and even with all of his warts, a lot of Special Forces guys just think the world of Bush.
I wish he had done four things (apart from CFR):
1.) Defended himself
2.) Abandoned bipartisanship
3.) Distanced himself from the amnesty immigration crowd
4.) Controlled spending.
