Right, and if there was a democrat in office everyone would have a job with health care, every kid would get a great education, gas would be $1.10 a gallon, and no one would go hungry. No species would be extinct, no trees would be cut down, and there would be no global warming. Taxes would be low, there would be no corporate or politcal corruption, and millionaires would pay all the taxes. Katrina would have nver happened, the levies would have held up, and there would be no such thing as terrorism because the rest of the world would love the USA!
Stop being naive. The next democrat that wins will have a built in excuse for poor performance. He has to deal with the mess he inherited. Of course his ideas and programs won't work. He has to spend too much time cleaning up the mess and putting out fires.
I am no fan of Bush. I voted for more democrats recently then republicans. I will vote for Suozzi for Governor(NY) when the time comes. I voted for Clinton twice. I voted for Bush this last election for one reason. I thought Kerry was WEAK. Most people I spoke to thought he was WEAK. If I thought he was weak, what would our enemies think?
Yes Bush has done a pretty bad job overall. But since his War on Terror began there hasn't been an attack on America or American interests overseas. Countries that "played nice" had terrorist attacks and deaths over a cartoon. That crap aint happening here. For that reason and that reason alone I voted for him. If I had the opportunity to vote for him again, I probably would for the same reasons.
Every day I log I here and see Rick and his bretheren attacking the current administration and I ask myself, is the left and the democrats so defeated that the only way they can fight back is constantly tearing down the status quo? Vote for my guy because the other guy sucks? Look at what an idiot Bush is, you have to vote for our side. Not once giving us an idea or a candidate to support, just vote for us because we're not him. I think its sad. The democratic party is all but dead and instead of propping themselves to level the playing field all they can do is try to sling enough mud to tear the other party down.
