Well said, gus. Bush had big government on the brain, but it doesn't tell the whole story of the man and his presidency.
HE STAYED THE COURSE in the face of brutal fire from the anti-American mainstream and world media, and in staying the course he kept us safe. For that I will always be grateful.
IF Kerry and Gore had “ruled” (as the left views it) during Nine Eleven, we would still be making nice with the terrorists and facing two or three more massive killing sprees from a growing Al Quaida. . which would only result in more navel gazing by the left, wondering what else we “evil” Americans had done to make them mad. - President Bush just simply decided we hadn’t done anything worthy of their bad behavior, and then proceeded to decide to actually do something to give them something to be mad about.
