OK, you keep track of the things Bush does that Gore wouldn't. So far, on your side is the war (and, to give credit where it is due, he has done an excellent job here!). We also have the meager tax cut on your side, but I don't expect to ever see it. The bulk of it will occur after he is out of office.

But on the negative side, we have:

1. We have just survived the most criminal administration in history. Not one prosecution! Algore would have moved on, too.

2. Democrats came within a hair of stealing this last election. Not one prosecution! Because of his failure to prosecute, the despicable RATS will be emboldened. GWB will be the last Republican president in my lifetime. The era of legitimate elections is over; welcome to elections soviet style!

3. The farm bill. A complete disaster by any measure. Hard to picture Algore doing worse.

4. The education bill. Ditto.

5. The steel tariff. Ready to pay a lot more for everything? Would Algore have done anything different?

6. Amnesty for illegals. This worked sooo well last time. Here in CA, we are over run with illegals. The ultimate goal of these illegals is not to become Americans, but to create an "Hispanic homeland" .... (their words, not mine). Could Algore have done more damage than GWB in this regard?

I cold go on, but I hope you get the point. Outside of the war, GWB has behaved just like a RINO. Or maybe that is what the Republican party is these days, just Democrats light. Minus the overwhelming corruption, but no longer holding conservative principles dear.

studly think about it this guy has to do Rino things to save the damn party, every year the dems run on a few issues and are very very successful on them mainly cause of scare tactics only once in last 20 years have republicans won a more totality of seats on election day of course that being 94, now that Bush has taken just about every democratic issue off the table and allowed republicans to win on their ideas, James Carvilles memo even says so why do think social security is being brought up again?? Dems have to think up new things to attack the party on and they really don't have any of them they've been using the same issues and playbook since Goldwater in 64, I don't agree with everything George does but the man has brilliantly shaped the party to look more appealing to voting masses who would just write us off on election day when was the last time you had a soccer mom honestly say you know that Republican is such a nice man I kinda agree with him or some card carrying union guy say hey george and the republicans helped us alot more then Clinton and Gore ever did. So what is the democratic party reduced to? Social Issues.. abortion and gun control to keep their base intact I don't even include the enviroment cause when the auto industry talks as they did today on cafe standards Dems listen. Keep the Faith Jim Jeffords caused George to do this don't think thats why Tom Daschle aint sweatin a little on election night.

Well let me go on a bit more for you

Environmemtal scientists are commiting fraud at the interior dept. and GW has refused to prosecute them

He has increased federal spending 260 billion dollars in 2 years.

He wants to expand Americorp a hated program of conservatives and has tacked on his own freedom core.

He socialized airport security workers

He signed the terrorist bill that would have allowed the government to seize the assets of those tennessee tax protestors last year.

And don't forget he is about to sign that CFR bill.

What a great president. Gore may have been worse but I have a hard time believing it would have been more than marginally worse. I by the way am a capital L libertarian who did give GW the benefit of the doubt initially because of the couple good things he did do early on.
