Whew! That's a relief. I'll go get my popcorn now...
GWB killed the Kyoto Treaty on Global Warming, for one.
GWB pulled the U.S. out of the CCCP-U.S. ABM Treaty, for another.
GWB backed and got our National Missile Defense program funded.
GWB Killed the International Criminal Court.
GWB repealed Clinton's CO2 rules that were choking off electricity production in California and causing electricity rates to spike.
GWB repealed OSHA's new ergonomic regulations that were about to put every home-based business in America out of commission.
GWB appointed Ashcroft and Ted Olsen, who just wrote to the Supreme Court that the 2nd Amendment is an INDIVIDUAL right, not the "collective right" that liberals have maintained for decades.
GWB signed the bill into law that gives pilots the right to arm themselves with firearms, a pleasant pro-gun victory on a national level (currently being obstructed by a DOT bureaucrat).
GWB killed the Left-Wing ABA's role in vetting federal judges for Congress.
GWB instituted the first top-down review of our military in years, which concluded (prior to 9/11), that asymmetric attacks were our biggest future threat.
GWB killed the $11 Billion Crusader artillery boondoggle.
GWB killed federal funding of foreign "family planning" activities.
GWB ordered the Justice Department to finally enforce the SCOTUS Beck decision, giving union workers the right to recover any of their union dues that are used for political purposes with which they disagree.
Frankly, if you aren't aware of all that GWB has done to advance the Conservative movement (including implementing steel tariffs in order to encourage European nationalism via trade wars), then you simply aren't Conservative.
Only a liberal could be so blind as to not realize what all GWB has done for our cause (oh, did I mention that GWB got taxes cut twice, once for individuals and another for businesses).
He has yet to engage in any activity that would land an ordinary citizen in prison.
Case closed.
But if it's worthy of debate on this forum I post them. Emperor's new clothes or not.
I voted for President Bush, I support him. Yet, for me, there does exist a odd apprehension where this country, our Government is headed.
Here's your problem right here. The conservative I wish was in the White House is a 100. Bush is a 40. Gore is a minus 100.
We are stuck with the fact that MORE people voted for Gore than Bush. That is a sad statement about what the American people want and will tolerate. Kalifornia has Feinstein and Boxer as Senators. That is one of the most telling indicators of just how screwed up the situation is.
If we had the Supreme Court that we have never had in my lifetime, then much of what has been legislated would have been struck down as being outside the reach of Congress.
The only way to achieve that Supreme Court is to win back the Senate majority by more than just a single vote and place Constitutionalists on the Court. ( Young ones in good health who have family histories of living into their late nineties. )
America didn't get into this condition overnight.
We're not going to get OUT of this condition overnight.
This is a long-term project, and it's going to require a lot of patience, hard work, and an understanding of tactics.
Popcorn coming up!

This is the worst offense. Al Gore wouldn't even have tried that one because he knew that Conservatives would have shot him down. And now a 'conservative' does just that.
