Little Tommy Daschle's
Skool Picture! !
I think it's instructive to compare President Bush to Daschole: Dubya, like it or not, is doing what he thinks is right. He plays to win, but his whole being is not tied to personal wins or losses. He plans on winning in 2004, and will work hard every day to win. However, I believe him when he says that he'd be just as happy to return to his ranch, and live his life.
Daschole, OTOH, proves day in and day out, that his entire being, his persona, his self-worth, is defined by his accumulation of power, and through any legislative victories, no matter the cost to this country.
To you Democrats out there (not referring to you MeeknMing, of course!), you have to know in your hearts that what I say is completely true. If you disagree with me, please refute the following points:
Why is your party, Zell Miller excluded, so against tax cuts, when it has been proven that TAX REVENUES INCREASE WHEN MARGINAL RATES ARE REDUCED?
Why are you so against rebuilding our military, when history has shown we're more likely to be attacked when our military is weak? Why were you such lapdogs for Clinton's Americorps plan, or for mandatory volunteer service (I love that one!) as a requirement for graduation, but you bristle at the thought of a return to the military draft, for national security reasons?
Why do you wail over the treatment of Johnny bin Walker and the detainees in Guantanamo, and the limits on practicing their faith, but you run screaming from the room at the mention of Jesus Christ or the mention of prayer in our schools?
Why do you want to send all the Enron executives to jail without due process, but are willing to give Jesse Jackson a free pass on over 20 years of financial shenanigans?
Inquiring minds want to know....
