To warn of the impending doom. Give me a break, they were feeding from the trough like the rest of the pigs on the Hill.

Didnt defend the Marines who were railroaded

Refused to use enough airpower to protect the boys in Iraq

signed bloated bill after bloated bill

Gave 15 billion to African for AIDS when we are in debt

got into bed with Ted Kennedy for "education"

Farmaid

prescription drug plan...

debt, debt, debt....yes, a fool

I couldn't agree more.  The ingratitude shown by so many towards the one individual in this country that has done more than any other for keeping America safe from another terrorist attack on our own soil post 9/11/2001 is disturbing at best.

Dubya has taken shot (denying Geneva Convention rights -- laughably to those that don't qualify), after shot (supposed illegal survellance), after shot (supposed illegal war), etc, etc while holding steadfast to his commitment as CIC -- to defend American citizens.  Many a lesser man would have surrendered to the onslaught of criticism years ago.  It takes a special kind of person in politics that would sacrifice his own popularity for the safety of his fellow citizens.  And it takes an ungrateful kind of person not to recognize this sacrifice. 

If we don't applaud this type of behavior by Bush, how can we expect other self-sacrificing individuals to step up and run against those currently in congress that are solely there for self-gain rather than to serve the best interests of the American people?

Is it really asking too much to take a day off from Bush-bashing to acknowledge President Bush's success in keeping America free from another terrorist attack in the last 7+ years?   If such an acheivement is accomplished by an "idiot" then maybe America nees a few more successful "idiots" like Bush in American politics and a lot less elitist "genuises" like Murtha, Pelosi, Reid, Obama, Biden and on and on and....

Well this commenter thanks you President Bush.  This commenter remembers the vulnerability Americans felt on 9/11/2001. This commenter remembers the solace Americans found in a leader that promised never again on his watch. This commenter remembers that Bush said he would go wherever necessary and use whatever means at his disposal to eliminate the terrorist menace.  And this commenter along with millions of other Americans felt reassured by that commitment. 

Hundreds of thousands of terrorists have since been denied the opportunity to perpetuate more carnage on American streets.  Two former enemies of the US (Iraq and Afghanstan) are now freedom loving allies of the US and joining the rest of the free world in waging the global war on terrorism.  Libya approached the US offering to dismantle it's nuclear program and has co-operated to the extent of being removed from the terrorist list.  North Korea followed.  Pakistan has renewed it's efforts to eliminate terrorist safe havens and Syria has recently been put on notice that terrorists are not safe and will not be tolerated inside the borders of Syria without (I would remind those that erroneously label Bush a war-monger) waging war on terrorist-supporting Syria.  The list goes on but the point is well made.

President Bush has made great progress in the most critical issue facing the west - Islamo fascism.  Think of how much more progress could have been made had we continued to support Bush rather than blaming him for everything from 911 itself to hurricanes.  But all of the achievements by Dubya are ignored for political gain by ungrateful, selfish people -- If only Bush were as perfect as those individuals.

Still, the war on terrorism is not on the political front burner any longer and we have one man to thank and that man is President Bush.  It is a travesty that so many wish to ignore that fact.

I'm not saying that you are wrong but I don't believe that your comments give a complete picture of what it is like for Republicans and Conservatives trying to get their points across. Any of your statements if used by McCain would not cause the media to do any investigation and we already know that only a small portion of the population will do any of their investigation. Therefore, those quotes would be used to attack McCain as a racist, xenophobe, angry, old, out of touch or whatever term they decided upon that day.
Agreed, Sarah Palin was a gimmick but more experience was not going to help McCain and it really didn't matter who was chosen they were going to attacked by the media. She has energized a base and brought in money which is really what McCain needed; so, in this light she wasn't a bad pick.
I like Romney but don't believe he would have lasted the media attack. They would have used his religion to attack him to the point that many would have believed he was going to have 'love slave' children tied up in the White House if elected. If that failed to get the response they needed they would have gone after for the flip-flops and you would have heard loud and clear how his (I know it wasn't really his but the media wouldn't tell the people that) medical program was a failure because he ran it like a Republican.
I'm not advocating for anyone to give up trying but to make blanket statements attacking candidates for the way they deal with media without acknowleding the antagonism that they face is not being entirely honest.

I think Obama is going to bash America towards more socialism and alter the Constitution instead of the other way around.  :-)

 "Perhaps I'm just worn down by the continual "Obama's going to alter
America towards socialism, and who bashes the Constitution" baloney as
the election heats up."

Truth starting to hurt a little bit, eh Bal? Imagine how worn down you'll be when he actually does these things. 

Obama's Economic plan: more taxes, more spending, more regulation. Prosperity here we come.
