Well, I see we have another pessimist in our midst, who would rather look at the world with blinders on, then face the realities of life.

Being a conservative doesn't mean you throw away all your principles or all your politics either. The reality of politics in 21st century America, means you strive to get most of your agenda enacted and hold back, the agenda of your liberal-Democratic opponent. Come to think of it, that sounds like politics during the time of our Founding Fathers and for good reason.

I've already explained the serious gridlock that exists in Wash-DC. Political conservatives are in the minority and Republicans, barely hold a majority in the House, while liberals and Democrats comtrol the Senate. Bush isn't a dictator, he is a democratically elected leader and has to work within the limits and parameters of the political process.

Bottom line, the President has had numerous accomplishments in his short time in office and his handling of the war effort has been quite remarkable and highly successful.

Your dreaming if you expect perfection from our elected leaders. Thats never been the case throughout civilized history and isn't about to change any time soon. The world is an imperfect place to live and human beings are imperfect creatures. The sooner you realize that, the better off you'll be.

Bottom line, the President has had numerous accomplishments in his short time in office "

Name two instances of President Bush doing something to actually shrink the size and scope of the Federal Government or reducing Federal Spending and I'll buy you a steak dinner.

You must mean an 'accomplishment' like the Education or the Farm Bills.....

You know, Bush does have veto power. All he has to do is say "NO".

Sadly, he hasn't. Not one single time.

I'm not a pessimist, I'm a realist. When I see just one single Department, Bureau, or Agency shut down I may change my tune. Until then, the Republican Party I see is the home of frauds, charlatans, fools, and outright criminals.
