It's a rough time to be a wingnut, and all my good articles show that frustrating trend quite well, as I seem to get two DB1s almost as soon as my articles appear, these days. I understand the frustration, I really do, as they had such high hopes when Bush was appointed president, but that's all over, now. But the truth of the matter is, there are few true believers left, as this article notes. The Bush Administration gave them everything they always wanted, huge tax cuts, conservative judges, the conservative dream of privatizing everything has been not only manifested, but wallowed in, to disastrous effect, and the public has seen the result. They have seen it all, and promptly decided they have seen more than enough. The public is moving left, to a large degree, but don't believe me, read the article.

If they are moving from right to middle, damn, isn't that moving to the left, or do you live in a strangely parallel world where directions are opposites?
Let's hope that whoever gets elected in 2008 believes in these things and is capable of uniting, not further dividing the nation.
Another frustrated wingnut in bubble-wrapped, delusional denial. It's not just the War . . . in fact, it's more the disdain from the rule of law that has set the 'exapamoles' by which this corrupt little right-wing icon is going to take his most deserved place as the worst President ever seen in the history of this country.

PS - Your frustration is affecting your spelling to a very distracting degree.
I agreed with your first post. The second on is a little off course. The fact is YOU dislike him for a lot of reasons. Most Americans dislike him beacuse of a war.
Dont worry he wont Jimmy Carter and Herbert Hoover are always around
- Homeland Security
- Health Care
- Environmental Protection
- Education
- Immigration
- The Patriot Act (espcially in light of the recent court decision to strike portions down as totally unConstitutional and make the FBI cease and desist their "national security letters" and procedures)
- Religion vs. State
- The Competency of his Appointees
- Signing statements and executive privalege extensions
That should keep you busy for awhile - I can think up a lot more when you are done with those.
Thanks! I always appreciate being proved wrong on something with hard evidence.
"don't forget his shredding of the constitution"
you have to be more specific than that to get me to respond to that charge.
I am upset with him on many fronts. But approval goes much deeper than that. I was just saying that if we removed the whole war issue. His approval would be much higher. My point was that you can say that everything republicans wanted failed because of Bush. The experiment does not work becaue their is no "control factor"
American Union (NAU). Nor has anyone approved of the NAFTA highway being built across the nation. The man is a trator and is guilty of teason in my opinion.
Let us hope the public does NOT turn left OR right. The very defination of the word Conservative does not allow extremes in either direction. Extreme Right and Extreme Left are equally as bad for the nation.
Many hate him for many other reasons, believe me. The war is the tip of the iceberg. How about those that have family members that have died of Parkinson's and other diseases while the little worm has played politics over stem cell research? How about those that found out after their company outsourced their jobs that their company had received information from the Bush Administration telling them the advantages of, and detailing how to do, outsourcing? What about those that watched him try to tear down the wall between church and state funding church groups with our tax money? What about those of us that still realize that until he let his vice president and the CEOs of all the major oil companies re-write energy policy,that gas was 1.40 a gallon? Would you like me to go on, because I could, all day long.

How do you figure that? He got every single thing on the agenda, and proved it all to be crap. The conservative agenda, especially the neocon one, is an utter and complete failure. The war isn't even represented in the budget, the last I knew.
"Actually without the war we would have surpluses"
See Above
"Privitization does work in a lot of examples done elesewhere and some exapamoles form this administration."
I don't see one application that hasn't been more expensive than government control. Give some examples.
"The fact is that bush is hated for a war. If it was not for the War we would be not seeing such distain."
Yes, the war opened people's eyes, but once they were open, and realized what he has been doing in all quarters, the truth of all of his lies, the "distain" has been total, and complete for many, and growing
If the plane is leaning to one side, it isn't going to level out if half of the people run to the middle aisle. Half must go to the opposite side. Go to the left!
Love the analogy . . . and you have to admit, you feel satisfaction the more you see people cross the aisle.

Let us be compassionate to Americans first .
Take care of our own and stay out of other countries business that are no threat to America.
Don, I agree that we should stop trying to force our government and/or religion on others, but had a mini stroke when I read 'take care of our own'. I hope I am over-reacting. One of my biggest disappointments in our society is the selfish, me&mine attitude that makes so many Americans believe we either exist in this world alone, or we are here to control the rest of the world. I believe we are all in this world together and should take care of one another.
I'd settle for not having this government and religion forced on the citizens of THIS country, lol
That would have saved us 8 years, a China Trade Deficit, Medicare Reform, a series of left wing religious nut judge appointments, and capital punishment (mentally) for the whole *amn country? PLUS Over 3000 Americans would still be alive...breathing, working, feeding their families... (I may have the fatality number incorrect, I haven't checked in too long.)
Wilka...
Publius, sometimes I ALMOST agree with some of your comments about the government staying small. However, I will not, and can not find any redeeming qualities in ANY of the Bush regimes. And I would like to know one thing that was "privitized" and now works better, is more efficient, or is in any way improved.
Impeach him. Send him back to Texas, and Sell Texas to Mexico.
