Yes, thing's aren't perfect. Bush could be better. I happen to think that he will before this is all over. But you'd make things a whole lot worse. That's when we go from "criticizing" to "bashing".
And the difference would be...?
As to the difference between conservatives
(limited government interference in the economy,
free market, anti-special interests) and Republicans
(big government, deficit spending, anything to
stay in office), I see the contrast between
ideals and grasping for power. More and
more of those who voted for Bush are
coming to the same conclusion.
"'Crap", IMO, is like "sheeple," a braying
jingoism by the blinkered.
U.S. Dept of Education Budget in 1993 (Clinton) $32 billion
(the department the Republicans were going to eliminate when they swept into power in '94)
U.S. Dept of Education Budget in 2002 (GW Bush) $54 billion
(the budget of this department is target by legislation to double within the next six years)
Growth in Social and Welfare Spending First Two Years of GW Bush = $96 billion
Growth in Social and Welfare Spending First Six years of Clinton = $51 billion
