Could you please list a few of the things you are satisfied with?

1.) Recognizing the 2nd Amendment for what it truly is for the first time in decades -- the personal right to bear arms.

2.) Stopped overseas abortion funding (Mexico City Policy)

3.) Lowered taxes in the biggest tax refund in American history. (Remember that?)

4.) Pulled the U.S. out of the ABM treaty with the now-defunct USSR in order to finally begin constructing a national missle defense shield.

5.) Said "Thanks, but No Thanks" to the Kyoto treaty. (The previous administration, true liberals, signed it.)

6.) Is currently in the process of rebuilding and restructuring the military.

7.) Brought U.S. airmen home safely without a shot fired after they were held prisoner by China. (Oh yeah!)

8.) Responded correctly to the 2001 attacks on the United States with decisive action and security measures. (The War on Terror is a bold, unmistakeable move.)

9.) Signed a nuclear arsenal reduction treaty with the Russian Republic to promote peaceful relations with our former enemy.

10.) Directed the Secretary of Energy to re-fill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (as opposed to wasting it to alter gas prices, as the previous President did).

11.) PROVIDES TRUE LEADERSHIP to the country, even when his own "supporters" turn their backs on him because he hasn't yet scaled back liberalism to the 1800's. Get real people.

Oh yeah, and that was all in one year. Carry on! :-)

Wow, you really picked some really memorable events to hang your conservative hopes on.

Recognizing the 2nd Amendment for what it truly is for the first time in decades -- the personal right to bear arms.
A single statement on a suit that never made it to the supreme court with the caveat that laws may be used to limit gun rights when it suits the state. nothing here, just plain BS.

2.) Stopped overseas abortion funding (Mexico City Policy)
The number of abortions stopped are less than 1/4 of the illegal immigrants we receive from Mexico every year.

3.) Lowered taxes in the biggest tax refund in American history. (Remember that?)
$300 and the rest may never be implemented. Designed to be implemented over the next 12 years. Again, just BS no substance.

4.) Pulled the U.S. out of the ABM treaty with the now-defunct USSR in order to finally begin constructing a national missle defense shield.
Really something, cancelling a treaty with a defunct country, lots of balls

5.) Said "Thanks, but No Thanks" to the Kyoto treaty. (The previous administration, true liberals, signed it.)
No other major nation in the world has ratified this treaty. Sorry, no hero badge here

6.) Is currently in the process of rebuilding and restructuring the military.
This is part of the presidential duties defined in the constitution. You don't get any points for doing your job.

7.) Brought U.S. airmen home safely without a shot fired after they were held prisoner by China. (Oh yeah!)
Kissed Chinas' ass, apologized and paid ransom after China commited an act of war against the United States.

8.) Responded correctly to the 2001 attacks on the United States with decisive action and security measures. (The War on Terror is a bold, unmistakeable move.)
The war on terror is nothing more tyhan a political ploy to restrict the rights of american citizens. It will be used in upcoming months when it will provide political support to the republicans and to GWB. The war on terror is the WOD only worse.

9.) Signed a nuclear arsenal reduction treaty with the Russian Republic to promote peaceful relations with our former enemy.
You are really reaching with this one. All this did was to commit us to getting rid of our rockets, it didn't get rid of any warheads.

10.) Directed the Secretary of Energy to re-fill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (as opposed to wasting it to alter gas prices, as the previous President did).
This is really important? We poured 90 days of oil into the ground, at what expense?

11.) PROVIDES TRUE LEADERSHIP to the country, even when his own "supporters" turn their backs on him because he hasn't yet scaled back liberalism to the 1800's. Get real people.
The only leadership he has shown is to the liberal democrats. He has pushed their agenda further in the last 18 months than they did during the whole of the Clinton administration. Bush is the best president that the democrats have ever had.

You are correct, the people should get real, Bush is a traitor to the conservative cause and should be retired in 2004.
