I do respect much of what Bush has done. His support of the military and actions in Afghanistan and Iraq, particularly facing down the UN and EU are outstanding.
But the Campaign Finance reform legislation, the terrible Patriot Act and many of its provisions, issues regarding securing our borders and now this also give great cause for concern. Particularly this ... such a fundamental right and principle.
I pray to God we can somehow, someday elect statesmen, who go to serve the nation and honor their oath to the Constitution and simply do what is right. We are infested with politicians who are equally mindful, if not more so in far too many cases, of their own political career, their fame, their vices and their own ideology, Constitution be damned.
While we continue to somehow get those true statemen into office, we need to keep at least putting conservative Republican politicians in there to offest the real liberal/socialist/marxist politicians and tyrant wanna-bes ... but unfortunately, we also must continue to hold even their feet to the fire to ensure our constitution the rights it enumerates are not eroded in the process.
