I know your heart is in the right place and everything...but, we should ALWAYS doubt EVERY President just a little. This one has triangulated in the past. Hopefully he has
learned from it, thus the comment "it doesn't work."
He would be the first to say he is just a man. He makes mistakes. He does not need or deserve worship.
Lately, he has been back on my good list. How happy I stay with him is up to him. I do not demand perfection, but I do demand honesty, loyalty, and sincere effort. I do demand that promises be kept. If winning means losing character and ethics then it is worthless to win. How you win should matter, even in politics.

There was also some fences to be mended in Georgia, from what I heard.

Triangulation is not necessarily moving "to the center", which seems to infer that people like Klinton were moderates. All it means is that you separate yourself somewhat and play both parties off one another to gain political advantage. It works well if you get crushed after an election in 94'; like Klinton. However, George W. Bush won the last election, in fact, defying history, and has a sky high approval rating. Why would he need to pander to anti-American leftists?

Good point in post 27.
To: Carry_Okie
Hmmm, it must be close to re-election time. Do you think the real Constitutional Conservatives will fall for the BS a second time?
Review of Bushs First 3 years:
1. Signed mis-named p.a.t.r.i.o.t. act into law,
2 Signed CFR into law commenting it
violates free speech, but, signed it anyway
3. $5 Billion GRANT to airlines
4. 60,000 more employees on public payroll. I was under the impression Republicans were for smaller
government.
5. Proposing food stamps for legal immigrants.
6. Proposing amnesty for illegals in country.
7. Signed democrat's education bill into law without .
reading iy.
8. $190,000,000,000 Farm Bill
9. Homestead Security Law. Remember "critical
infrastructures" which are in the law and which
includes the internet and whatever the gov't
says is a "critical infrastructure"
10. $782,000,000,000 NEW Spending
11. $390,000,000,000 New Spending for this fiscal year
Of course, he and his "conservative" accomplices in both houses have thrown us some "crumbs" which we devour as as a full course dinner.
I await a barrage of flames for daring to bring these issues to the forefront. "Overviews" reveal so much don't you think? Duplicity is acceptable when you guys and girls engage in it, but, it is unacceptable when the other guy's guys and girls do it. And the political whoredom beat goes on and on.
Flame away

No flame from me -- I'm glad someone brings that stuff up. Still, we are infinitely better off than we would have been if the Tree had been elected. Maybe you could make a list of his positives too, just to feel a little better. There are many.

OK, Here's a flame since you beg for them so much....Learn math, Bush has been in office 2 years, not 3.

There was/is a good thread
Bush Agenda Scorecard in an ongoing attempt to keep the President's agenda in perspective. The poster, chiller, has recently said he needs to update the list. Some have been FRmailing chiller with items to add to the list.

Bill Simon screwed himself. How can Bush go to Calif. late in the game to support someone who commits libel on statewide TV?
