Fiscal conservatives are mad at him. Social conservatives are mad at him. Most leftys are mad at him. Just who isn't mad at GWB? Only people blind to what is going on today. Today there is a piece at the Washington Times talking about how Evangelicals are tempted to stay home this election. Apparently they are ticked off that he hasn't done enough since they helped get him elected. They are especially ticked off about the lack of response from the President regarding the marriages in San Francisco.
I say, stay home then. A large group of voters will not be happy until we all live in 1950's Pleasantville. Conservatives say that the Super Bowl half time show was the straw that broke the camels back. That we have progressed so for into immorality that we might be doomed. So the FCC and Congress lashed out at broadcasters. Especially Infinity/CBS. Nothing gets an executive more scared then the idea of liscense revokation hearings. Now Mel Karmazin wants all Infinity radio stations to clean up. I can't wait to see what happens to the ratings.
Say things like "War on Terror" or "Homeland Security" and people just put blinders on to the real world. Yes, fighting against terrorists is important. But does the guy who has not been able to find a job for two years really care that much? The economy might have started to erode during the last few months of Clinton's watch, but Bush has really punched the hole wide open. Republicans have lost their biggest platform; being fiscally conservative. The President doesn't even deserve the whole blame. There are some in congress that are taking advantage of the situation to tack on millions of pork to neccessary bills.
We can't afford to write checks on future generation's credit. Let's be responsible and move forward together. A nation divided is a nation off track.
