The Republican Congress gave you many of those things as well. They stopped Harriet Miers and they stopped amnesty for illegals. They helped pass the tax cuts. They also ensured many of the freedoms you mentioned.
But I am glad to see you have had wonderful success. That's what it's all about.
But the press corps have curled up like Gramma's cat purring their contentment in the laps of the Democrats even as British spy agencies report on the huge number of terrorist cells under surveillance making ready to unleash an attack on the White House. But these "press cats" can only stare through sleepy, content eyes, canned milk dripping from their whiskers; as if this is Britain's security problem, not ours. Should this had been a terror plot news story under Republican control, they would surely have had their claws bared making ready for their own relentless attacks on Bush. The cat call would have been "It's Bush's fault!"
So for the moment, we have changed "guard" in the middle of a war, removed our leader on defense, Rummy and focused greater attention on health care, lower college tuition interest loans, the minimum wage and the rumor of possible 'war crimes' charges floating in the wind to be brought against Rumsfeld, now a private citizen.
Terrorists/drug lords in Columbia have even asked to negotiate a prisoner swap with celebrities, namely Michael Moore. Even Mother Sheehan is missing. Could this be the end of her highly publicized world tour?
Could the world tilt any more off its axis than it has now??
And I also wonder should Bush have really chosen to wear a Blue tie? I would have found it more appropriate in choosing the 'hair ball' color, yellow.

On a side....I can find no evidence that his mother and her family migrated here legally. Most 'evidence' to the contrary.
I hear you.

Following that logic you should be for higher taxes.
I take you word for it that he said it. You sound honest.
Then, he's an economic fool.
I majored in Economics back in the mid-60's at a University known for that school. It was all bull then and more bull now.
The minimum wage is no business of the government in this society.
Well put
Same as in the WOT!

I agree... and we are all going to have to find a way to unite in VICTORY over evil... both domestic and foreign... and I am talking about "we" Conservatives.

Ok, so the Dems spend the last six + years being "bomb throwers" and win both houses of congress, so the Repubs decide that the people did not like what was going on so they are not going to be "bomb throwers". Uh, hello!!!!
Exactly in this world we never get 100% of what we want, many on this board exalt Ronald Reagan (and he was a great President and a wonderful friend to Britain) to great heights but he never got 100% of what he or they wanted. I suspect at the time were saying many of the things about him that they are now saying about GWB, especially on illegal immigration.
Bush should have a field day with this.The demwits do not have a agenda other than raise taxes and cut and run.
True. But, Ronald Reagan always knew what he wanted and never stopped fighting for it.
Bush is a self proclaimed Keynesian in his economics.He does not understand or has chosen to ignore Classical Economics which is the study and explication of why men choose as they do. John Maynard Keynes developed a false rationale for government use of economic controls and adjustments as a means of controlling society. Keynesian "economics" is a system of political management, not study and observation and it produces repeated recessions and inflationary pseudo-booms because adjustments and controls can only deal in the very short term while real economic changes occur in the longer term. Each failure of Keynesian controls justifies further controls ad infinitum.
One somewhat skilled in logic or who knows how to follow an argument would be appalled at Keynes's book. His argument simply does not make sense from one sentence to the next. And he contradicts himself and proves "A" by citing "B" then proves "B" by citing "A". Either the whole thing is a parody and he bit his lip when politicians took him seriously and sought his advice or the man was a simpleton.
The clock ticks.
