Interesting. For the Last many months I have had to either ignore threads like this, or be subjected to a continuous stream of attacks against this country, its President, and anyone who dared to support either. The President has been called everything from evil to an idiot, and on more than one occasion, people have expressed that they wished someone would kill him. When I get really frustrated, and object, even in a sarcastic way, to some of this material, I am told that I am out of line, because I am not approaching this garbage as if this were a serious debate.

I know how you feel. But politics is politics is politics. Doesn't matter if the man in offices is a democrat or a republican, there will always be politics.

The economy was beginning to tank in 98, we all know this, so no one can blame it happening on Bush. Then came 9/11 and that to was not Bushes fault. Then the wars. Well these are nessassary evils. Better to fight them now, even without a plan, then encure the cost of another 9/11 and an even more expensive war years down the road.

Things will get better, people will go back to work, and the economy will improve. It takes time, inovation, planning, and many years of growth. All of the things that Bush is doing now will benifit him in the later parts of his second term if re-elected, or the first term of a new president.

I thank God every day that I am an american, our freedom to voice our opinions does not come at the expense of our lives like it did, and currently does for billions around the worlds. (China)

I watched the other day on the news when that lady heckelled Donald Rumsfeld and thought to my self, gee lady you are really lucky to be here in America because in most middle eastern countries you as a women would not even be allowed to speak, and if you did, you would be beaten for it. That if you lived just a month like most arabic women, you would be on the front line thanking our government if they came to your rescue and restored your freedoms.

I don't care who is in office because you can please some of the people some of the time, but not all of the people all of the time.

Time and history will be the ultimate judge regardless of what we think.
