I'm still giving Bush a break.

Deep in the bowels of the bureaucracy he's doing some good.

He bankrupted the land grabbing socialists at the US Fish & Wildlife Service who use the endangered species act to control private property. To me, this is huge because private property is the base of all liberty. More than 190 million acres of private property were seized and placed under government control by the feds under Clintoon. Let's see if this land grab is reversed.

He's looking to turn over 800,000 federal jobs to the private sector. If this means firing 800,000 burueacrats, that's good. And private contractors are much more accountable than bureaucrats.

Bush floated the trial balloon that he wants to eliminate the federal income tax. If he makes that part of his 2004 platform, that's good.

Yes, he's growing government way too much. The Dept. of Education disgusts me. But I'm still willing to stay aboard ship until I see the iceburg coming our way.

I agree with you about putting all those jobs up for private bidding. This is a huge accomplishment.

Someone on this board said getting out of Kyoto was not a big deal. Absolutely, totally wrong. This was a great, conservative move and one done despite significant domestic and foreign opposition

Someone else said there would have been no difference under Gore. So clueless! We would be hook, line and sinker in Kyoto under Gore and would still be wondering whether we should attack Afganistan.

He said he would put the work out for bids. What will happen is the burueacrats will just move into the new jobs that aren't going out for bids. They will just move into the agencies he is expanding. This is a trick to fool conservatives.

If Bush is the nominee, then you either give him a break or you give his opponent a break. His opponent will neither lean to the right nor govern to the right. If we don't want to give Bush a break, then why do we bash Democrats?

What if by some fluke the 'assault weapon' ban makes it to his desk and he signs it?
