To be honest, I was no fan of Poppy either, But I can't bring myself to label them as traitors, and I don't believe he or Prescott deserve to be mentioned in the same breathe as Slick Willy

I used to have a similar view, but the more I read of the past and watch current events unfold, the more convinced I am that there is little difference between the two parties, at least at the top (there are many good Republicans at the state and local levels).

The rhetoric makes it sound like they are different, but in actions, they are not.

I believe that they are moving us towards a global government, which will be brought about by regional governments, brought about by regional trade agreements (like the European Union). The policies of "free trade", open borders, increased foreign aid, and expansionist government have been the major accomplishments of the last three administrations. All of these things move us closer to a "New World Order".

I realize people will disagree and that's fine, since I was nieve to the big picture for a long time. After a lot of reading, I eventually woke up to what I believe the truth to be.

I consider GWB as the exact opposite of his Father. His trade policies are labeled as "Isolationist" in Canada as well as Japan. The rejection of KYOTO, The ICC, The ABM Treaty and his repeated criticisms of the U.N. can hardly be lebeled as "New World Order"

I don't like his refusal to curb the spending of Congress, In fact I was hoping he would Veto the Omnibus Bill. I was outraged over the Education Bill. I will wait for the end result of the CFR bill after it has been trimmed by the SCOTUS before commenting on it. But I find your assessment of this President a little off base and more in line with the typical Libertarian screed coming from the unappeasables in that group.

I think a lot of GWB and think he is doing a great job on international issues. I don't see any real possibility of seeing real changes on Domestic issues anytime soon. The liberals in Congress and the Media have the general public in their hip pocket and it will take time to see any real changes there.

I know there is a few outstanding conservatives who I agree with totally, BUT they're UN-ELECTABLE at this point. I believe we have to take back this country from the left, the same way we lost it.... SLOWLY. I do think GWB is a visionary and a realist who understands that he can'rt change this country during his term or terms, But I believe he laying the groundwork for real change in the future. I will continue to look at the glass as hal full and support George W. Bush 100%, I believe he has done unbelievably well in just his first 2 years in office and I'm not ready to see conservatives divided once again just because this President doesn't please all of us all of the time.
