How did he CHEAT his way into office. I do believe that there was never any evidence he cheated in anything...
And I certainly hope that if you feel he cheated his way into office, that you also don't respect our former president who cheated on his wife...and furthermore...if he had done a lick about problems in the middle east...we may not have this problem we're all facing right now!
Sorry but I had to say it!

I didn't start this thread to talk about his policies...I started it because I feel that he's been handeling things very well in this time. I may be biased, but I fear what the Nation would be like if we were under the leadership of Gore or Nader or anyone else...I think THAT is the topic at hand...not the $300.00 rebate we got.

The problems in the middle east have been going on for hundreds of years - its holy war pitting religious beliefs against religious beliefs; no president was going to immediately solve that in 4 or eight years - you can't resolve a conflict people don't want resolved!

but yes, bush is doing s decent job - why in my opinion - colin powell is an excellent secretary of state and condoleeza rice is one of the best there is at natonal security/foreign affairs - he's surrounded himself with some of the best - remind you of any former presidents?

She is an Alpha Chi Omega-I know this is a non-Greek area but I had to say it.

I am very concerned about our environment and reproductive rights, since we are letting Bush get away with anything he wants right now. Before recent events, he was approving some sketchy measures...
I agree with you sister!!!!! F*&k the environment and god forbid I can make a decision about MY body

This may or may not be true, so please don't say bad things to me. But does it bother anyone else that in Texas, their sex ed programs don't teach safe sex. They teach absitinence only. Just a thought (the connection being Bush was Gov. of Texas, and these programs were under his admin.)

BTW, no, I didn't vote for him, yes he is doing wonderfully in light of the tradgedy, and yes he has a very talented staff.

Bush is Hitler. They both used national tradegy to their advangtage. Both are racist. Racial profiling is now considered a good thing, because now it can stop terrorists. If there will ever be a fourth reich, it will in this country, and it will be in our lifetime.

Thats a VERY strong comparison to make!! I would think very carefully before I made a statement like that.

Lol- I forgot to mention something about the tax check everyone recieved. Something that proves that he really looks out for the wealthy! The average person a check for 300 bucks...my friend who is a surgeon and makes like a zillion dollars a year got a freaking check for over $100,000...makes 300 clams sound like a joke!

Actually Hitler is better known for ruthlessly killing innocent people for a cause. If anyone in this situation should be compared to Hitler it would be Osuma...but even thats probably a stretch.

Yeah, they are all bad people. But innocent people are already being attacked because they "look arab" and that's happening under Bush's watch and I haven't heard him condem any of that.
