While a like Bush very much and I admit that he is a far better President than Al Gore would have been or that ANY of the current Democrat candidates would be - TLBSHOW's statement is accurate. Disagree? Then name one socialist program that Bush has worked to eliminate. Then, tell me what his prescription drug proposal amounts to (ummm...could it be, SOCIALISM!).

Don't get me wrong. There are few if any Republicans that I know who would not qualify under TLBSHOW's description of Bush. They all vote for and promote socialism. But so do the Democrats and just about everyone else. It's almost a lost cause anymore.

My criteria might be a bit different. I see MANY excellent things GWB has done. He has also failed to do some things I want him to do.

The point is...name ONE man...or ONE President...that could do EVERYTHING all want him to do? Even Reagan grew the budget, praised and increased the EITC....etc.

It is impossible to elect a person who will meet EVERY criteria, imo. But without the support of ALL of us, we will end up with another Clinton, or worse. And we know that will be an total disaster. It will take decades to rid ourselves of the damage done by Clinton. I don't want to see that damage compounded exponentially.

There is no viable choice at this point but to support the GOP. The Democrats MUST be defeated at all political levels.
