This pro-Bush editorial from the Seattle Times where Bush is visiting is also great fodder for any letters you send:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/968764/posts Editorial
The focused presidency
President Bush will get an earful from protesters today. Aggravated Americans are a native species here, part of the culture and entitled to their protests. But this is an industrious state, and most Washingtonians will be going about their business without obsessing about the president of the United States.
This page supported the election of George W. Bush, and though we have disagreed with some of his environmental measures and the clash between homeland security and civil rights, we stand by the man.
We reckoned that Bush understood better than his opponent the incentives and protections that make the economy work. We still think so. His cuts in income taxes look risky now but will pay later by increasing investment and keeping a lid on federal spending. His work to eliminate the federal estate tax, a matter of importance to this newspaper, will help thousands of family enterprises. His attack on the double taxation of dividends aims for an improvement in both efficiency and fairness.
None of these is a quick fix. This is not a quick-fix president. He understands that the economy is not run by him, but by what millions of Americans do. He can push for a change in the background conditions, such as tax rates. He can make specific interventions such as settling the no-win antitrust case brought by the Clinton administration against Microsoft. Bush's administration has been wrong on a few things, such as changing the rules for media cross-ownership, but most of its actions have been sound.
When this page endorsed Bush, it was in spite of his lack of experience in foreign affairs. Bush learned on the job and fast. He paid his respects to the United Nations, but he did not hang American security on a U.N. vote. The president presides over a democracy in a very different world, and a different America, than the contentious moment of his election. We believe that, overall, he has acted responsibly and well when it comes to the overriding issue of our times our country's security. We need a strong leader in a world threatened by insane terrorism. He has been that.
This page expected that Bush would fumigate the White House of its odor of licentiousness, pardon-selling and general juvenilia. He did, which is why nobody talks about those things any longer. He has surrounded himself with adults.
Finally, he is focused. All presidents know that they have eight years at most, maybe four. Some waste that time on tricks to get their poll numbers up, or a dozen other things that seem important at the time, but aren't. Bush is making his time count.

So, want to praise Casey v. Planned Parenthood, then? Because, after all, it was a partial victory over Roe v. Wade in that it reformulated the constitutional test for the permissibility of abortion restrictions. Addressing and redirecting doesn't work with me. That's not the topic.
Praising Grutter is still praising racism.
He didn't "praise" racism. I've shown you that.

"I applaud the Supreme Court for recognizing the value of diversity on our Nation's campuses. Diversity is one of America's greatest strengths. Today's decisions seek a careful balance between the goal of campus diversity and the fundamental principle of equal treatment under the law."
Diversity, in the context of college admissions = affirmative action = racism.

Diversity, in the context of college admissions = affirmative action = racism. Again, I've shown you where the unconstitutional point system was struck down. That's something in which we should be happy. Why don't you see that? I guess that's not good enough for now.
Oh well.

A lot of people who, like me, support President Bush are unhappy over the African AIDS boondoggle, the neglect of addressing offshoring to third world hellholes, and such. Pointing out areas for improvement, in our opinion, doesn't make us liberals.
President Bush has done a wonderful job fighting terror and has had some very good tax cuts made, but we are asking for more. Why does that upset you?

A lot of people who, like me, support President Bush are unhappy over the African AIDS boondoggle, the neglect of addressing offshoring to third world hellholes, and such.I'm definitely with you on the offshoring.

I never said that pointing anything out makes you a liberal. I simply did not say nor imply that. I asked the other poster about an agreement with the Left. That's something that I simply refuse to do. I will not sound like the enemy Leftists period.
President Bush has done a wonderful job fighting terror and has had some very good tax cuts made, but we are asking for more. Why does that upset you?
It doesn't! In fact, you just summed up precisely my mindset.
Listen, I'm extremely happy that you pointed out what was good. Now we ask for more. But at least you and I can appreciate what has been accomplished, and have no problems saying it. What gets me are our so-called compatriots who do not appear to be happy with anything at all. That I just can't stand.
So, be happy with what we have, say so, then ask for more. I can see that. You can see that. Now tell me what is these other posters' problem?

Also the $15 billion he's sending to Africa should be stopped asap and refunded back to those who paid taxes. Or at least we back home should get a stuffed Rhino head or horn out of it or something.

Affirmative action should be dismantled as it does not benefit us at all.True, but what has the President signed that supported affirmative action?
Also the $15 billion he's sending to Africa should be stopped asap and refunded back to those who paid taxes.
Why stop with Africa (which is a major stumbling block for a lot of folks I see)? There are a plethora of unconstitutionally funded programs that should be "refunded back to those who paid taxes," right?

"$15 Billion for AIDS in Africa $400-$800 Billion prescription drug plan."
. . .actually, a good 'jaw-dropper' to hit the left with as they whine about 'fiscal irresponsibility'. . .
