This is just another reason I will NOT be voting for Bush again. I will stay home. At the rate he is spending our money, I will not be able to afford the time from work to go vote. More reasons are as follows..
Kennedy education bill.
Immigration amnesty plan.
Failure to protect our borders.
Failure to veto a single pork filled appropriation bill.
Failure to recess appoint his blocked judges.(except 1)
Failure to deport illegals when caught.
Rx drug plan for ALL seniors. Not just the poor as it should be.
Failure to reduce our energy depedence on the Saudis. A threat to our national security, in my opinion.
Failure to reverse Clintons executive orders of huge land grabs all over the country.
I could go on but i'm getting nauseous.

This is just another reason I will NOT be voting for Bush again. I will stay home. Don't stay home, support Michael Peroutka, even if he doesn't win, if enough conservatives vote for him it will force the GOP to take notice.

Lets all pretend that this is a 40's movie and slap ourselves or throw a glass of water on our neighbor to stop the hysterics. I submit that we should probably wait to see what the plan actually says. It could say we're going to spend a TRILLION on community theater but it doesn't mean it's going to come to fruition.

In specific response:

The No Child Left Behind act is roundly criticized for being "unfunded" (ie not much money spent) and testing is a helluvagood idea...don't follow your there.

A recess appointment effectively wastes a nom with what is basically a term limit. Doing one was good to make a point but in the long run, if he plays it cool and the GOP gains in the Senate, they stay in for LIFE. Look for this to come up in the campaign...don't follow you there.

The left is constantly bitching about the people we've rounded up and either held or deported post 9/11...don't follow you there.

If you're going to do a RX drug plan at all (which is questionable), you DAMN well better include in it the people who are paying all of the freaking taxes to fund it...definitely don't follow you there.

It's up to the Senate to pass the Energy bill that's been sent to them. Bush can't cast those votes. Count on seeing this in the campaign too...still don't follow.

The immigration plan is NEVER going to pass as proposed and hell, the Dems want to do more. If Bush loses, you can count on it being worse. Reagan did more than will develop here and I certainly don't think that if Mondale had won we'd be in better shape.

I've got no comment on the land grabs but if that's enough for you not to vote and risk a Kerry or Dean presidency, knock yourself out but NO BITCHING AFTER THE FACT.
