Great.
With respect to spending, I look at my wallet, and then to paraphrase the last scene in Orwell's Animal Farm, I look at the Republicans, and I look at the Democrats, and they look the same.
but how many times did he go to the bathroom?
GWB is now the undefeated heavyweight champion of the world in spending other peoples' money. Worse even than Senator Kleagle!
When the government announces a War On X, and X is not a military foe in the usual sense, be prepared for an increase and worsening of X.
They'll just continue to outspawn the relief effort.
Think of it as Lyndon Johnson's "War on Poverty" plan gone global.

Bush's foolish plan won't alleviate poverty at all, in fact, it will, again, accomplish the opposite of it's intentions while stealing from American Citizens.

No wonder Bush's numbers are down. If a pollster asked me whether I approve of the job Bush is doing, I would have to say no.
I support him in the WOT, and on tax cuts. And sure he's done some other things I approve of (like John Bolton.) But on almost everything else, from immigration, to campaign finance, to education, to over all spending, to this new "Global War on Poverty," I find him to be an outrageous flop.
Moreover, he's done a crummy job of selling the WOT to the country and the world.
Turning into???
LOL....

Yea, we need a democrat back in the white house, fast! (doesn't the gridlock of the 90s seem refreshing now...)
It hasnt yet reached the point where I wish I had voted for Gore or Kerry, but good Lord we just laid 50 billion on New Orleans and we give money to the Palestinians for mercy sake, where does it end? How much can we give and the UN still wants more. With an invasion on our southern border, a hurricane that ruins a city and a war in Iraq we cannot keep giving money away. It seems we are not only the world's police we are also their finance company. It has to end.
Bush just doesn't get it sometimes...
BOHICA bump.
Well, he still has to get Congress to appropriate all of that hard-earned tax money to give away to the ungrateful world. Maybe there is hope then. Or maybe not... (sigh!)
"Think of it as Lyndon Johnson's 'War on Poverty' plan gone global."
An apt description. Because I think any fair and non-partisan comparison of Bush to previous presidents might very well find his Presidency to be much like that of Johnson's, when you consider the role of the federal government, spending, and competency in running a foreign war.
If you could somehow teleport GWB back in time 40 years, he'd essentially be a Great Society *Democrat*.
Tell me that Barry Goldwater and Reagan aren't spinning in their graves?
And why does the conservative movement allow people like the Bushes and Bob Dole to get the ticket come election time? These people are Tories, not conservatives or libertarians.
All this effort the past 40+ years for what? To give it all away now?
If any serious conservative candidate is running in '08, he'd be *forced* to criticise Bush's record, and therefore his own party.
We wipe out malaria and heaven's knows what else, and tell emerging nations to act responsibly (we know they won't)...but where's the stick? I'm quoting of all people, Moira Laisson on Fox.
I completely agree. More gridlock means our "leaders" in the government have less ability to push through their "big plans", and therefore less ability to screw us where the sun doesn't shine. I thought we elected a conservative in November.
I guess this means the cap gains and dividend tax cuts won't be made permanent.
Pres. Bush is heading towards becoming a failed President.
