Well, then, I suppose he'll just not get that third term election bid. He's not going to run for anything, and spouting here isn't really going to help. You don't support our efforts in Afghanistan or Iraq? You don't support the 4.something unemployment rate? President Bush has done a lot of good as well. Look at 9-11 and where we are today. (God forbid Gore was president then, I'd be sporting a burka right now) There's a ton of red tape to overcome, that's why we need to get rid of rinos in the house and senate. You need to get down and dirty in your area. That's where the real stuff happens. Expecting one person to take care of it all isn't going to get squat. Removing feinstein and boxer would be a start, for example. (we're working on feingold and kohl here, kohl is a gazillionaire, and uses his own money for his elections, hence term limits)
Speaking of terms. What about removing the 17th, or placing term limits on all branches of gov, including the judiciary? Back in the 1770's people didn't normally live into their 90's and serve on the supreme court. I'm thinking 2 terms for house and senate, and maybe 20 for the supremes. That would go a long way to government reform. Pols wouldn't be pandering for votes. And, more regular joes could be elected to office, as intended. And, remove the bennies. It's supposed to be a temporary position, not a life long career choice. I think you'd see a huge improvement in our government if something like this was implemented. Including immigration.
Well, then, I suppose he'll just not get that third term election bid. Indeed. But then being a Californian, my votes for him in the last elections didnt do much either.

Yeah but it helps to vent.

I support both. However, I think he has handled post-war Iraq terribly.

Probubly so! :-)

I used to work for the GOP.

Boxer and Feinstein are here as long as they want. This state is insane.

I've yet to make up my mind on that. I would love to get rid of Ted Kennedy in the Senate and Ginsberg in the SC but that would mean we would lose Scalia. I lean towards getting rid of it frankly because I want Kennedy gone. However, in CA we had a great Governor in Pete Wilson who was termed out and we got Gray "Rolling Blackout" Davis. Davis killed 187 and redistricted to make sure Dems win this state for the next 30-40 years. So in essence we gave the Dems the rope to hang us.
