I'm just a poor "working grunt" who is pleased with the transition of "Clintonianism" to "Bushism"(if you insist on making it a one person issue) which has shown to be a transition to enough is enough from we will just get along.
The maintaining of market value in dire times created by 9/11, the bull by the horns attitude to take the war from our own turf to a front overseas, the line drawn to maintain political and judicial sanity, and the well formed political agenda which struck at the heart of liberal "fanaticism" to finally after 50 years to put it on the decline.
The list isn't big, however it is a profound and effective one with strength to endure.
Ask any true liberal what their attitude is of George W. Bush is and the answer obtained will prove to show the progress achieved in itself.
He!!, when was the last time in your life that just the right of "conceal and carry" was at the front of media coverage?
A doom and gloom attitude will promote just that.
Doom and gloom.
I don't see much doom or gloom from where I'm sitting. Many, many people I know are doing a whole lot better than just a few years ago. The days of high six figure bonuses are back on Wall Street. Unemployment is low. Crime is down. Etc. etc.
But, I don't know how much of that is due to legislation.
Logical fallacy. The enemy of your enemy is not always your friend. A famous example would be Nazi Germany and the Soviets.
The goal shouldn't be to upset liberals or leftists but to enact solid fiscal responsible measures. The GOP has failed miserably on that.
