I am a nationally published journalist who has been drafted to challenge George W. Bush in the Republican Presidential primaries, beginning in New Hampshire on January 27. My aim is to prompt legitimate debate and genuine new ideas, but I start with a question:
HAS GEORGE W. BUSH BETRAYED TRADITIONAL GOP VALUES?
He has failed in his promise to control spending. Nondefense spending has skyrocketed under Bush. The Congressional Budget Office reported that for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003, nondefense spending rose 7% – nearly double the 4% discretionary spending caps Bush promised to enforce (Source: Washington Times). Since Bush took office, nondefense spending has leapt 13% -- 21% if spending on the war on terrorism is included. “My impression of Bush,” says Chris Edwards, director of fiscal policy at the libertarian Cato Institute, “is that I’ve never seen him give a speech in which he says government is too big and we need to cut costs.”
He has failed in his promise to keep America strong. Under Bush, U.S. foreign policy and international esteem have reached historic lows. After spending hundreds of billions of dollars since 9/11, the Bush administration has failed to catch Osama bin Laden, failed to find Saddam Hussein, failed to defeat Al Qaeda, and failed to stabilize Iraq after an invasion that his own Pentagon policy adviser, Richard Perle, now admits was “illegal.” As a result, the geopolitical balance of power has been jolted, traditional allies have been severely alienated, and as a result, the European Union – led by Great Britain – is now conducting secret talks about the formation of an EU military force outside NATO.
He has failed in his promise to be a “compassionate conservative.” Perhaps never before has a U.S. President so divided the country, according to a recent Time cover story. Despite Bush’s promise to be “a uniter, not a divider,” he has turned Republican against Democrat, rich against poor, Christian against Muslim. He has eroded our civil liberties and Constitutional rights in the name of “national security” and aided and abetted a corporate elite class in the theft of the Republican Party and the two-century-old values that made it the Party of Lincoln. “Corporations have been enthroned,” Lincoln said presciently before he died. “…An era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power will endeavor to prolong its reign by working on the prejudices of the people…until wealth is aggregated in a few hands…and the Republic is destroyed.” Under Bush, Lincoln’s ominous – and accurate – prediction might find its final manifestation unless he and the “neo-con” corporate juggernaut are stopped.
DO YOU AGREE? Please let me know your thoughts. There will be more to come from me, including a detailed platform and agenda for ending the corporate reign in this country, shrinking the federal bureaucracy, and restoring Constitutional freedoms to pre-9/11 levels. Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to your comments and questions.

(Bush) has broken that promise. He has divided America from within, by turning Republican against Democrat, rich against the poor, white against black, straight against gay, and Christian against Muslim.
Gee, I remember him going into the belly of the beast, the NAACP, to address them and those cold-hearted racists couldn't wait to stab him in the back. That's gratitude for ya.
The only ones who pit one group against the other are those who try to bring down America, the far left.
How many recounts would have satisfied you? Al Gore had plenty of chances and it was his choice to start with selected counties...then move on with ridiculous ideas like the "intent of the voter" and that chad nonsense. The court that tried to change the rules of the game after the fact was the Florida kangaroo Supreme Court.
Ah ha!....the eureka moment has arrived.
He is simply mining fodder for his upcoming book.
I am outta here.
he added that he is running in 2004 as a "peace candidate" and is seeking a "chance to be taken seriously as a 'Bush-stopper.'” He also has a deal with a publisher to write -- after his race is done -- a book about his 2004 run.
Yea same guy...are those eyebrows real?
Will this thread pile up more posts than this papaya, as you have so aptly dubbed him, gets votes in the New Hampshire primary?
I'm thinking it's gonna be a photo finish.
Something to remember, come February...
He's just in the race in order to sell magazine articles to greedy corporate interests. There ought to be a law!
