<p>Nope. No excuses. Governments tend to screw things up. Sure, they’re o.k. with some things and we need a strong government for certain functions, but for the most part governments are pretty lousy. That’s why I prefer less government rather than more regardless of who’s running the country. It’s one of the reasons that I’m not happy with everything George Bush does - even though those of you who drink the anti-Bush koolaid seem to not pay attention when those of us who lean to the right point out something where we disagree with George Bush. With those of you in the cult it must be all or nothing. If we don’t disagree with George Bush on everything that he does, then we’re apologists extrordinaire for him. </p>
<p>George Bush relies too much on government to solve our nation’s problems. He’s spending more money on social programs than any President in our history. I think that the prescription drug program is a disaster. I think most programs designed to help the poor are a joke and do them a terrible disservice. You should love him for the money that he spends, but you just can’t get over your hatred. Try to be a little more objective and try to stop making stuff up. The talking points from Howard Dean are a little tiresome. We know that you can get away with it when you’re posting at Democratic Underground or the dailykos, but here you’re going to be challenged because not everyone here drinks your koolaid.</p>
<p>How could anyone be happy with what George Bush does… the prescription drug program is a program for prescription drug companies…Whenever our government buys millions of dollars worth of anything they should be allowed to negotiate price. The NCLB is a failed program as well…create higher standards but allow the southern states to maintain their high standards considerably lower than the rest of the country.</p>
<p>Not to mention the failure of the Bush Administration to develop a exit plan for the Bush Oil War. How much money did he waste to give us the response time of a third world nation for Katrina?</p>
<p>You lost. Gore lost. Kerry lost. Daschle lost too. As much as George may not be perfect he’s going to be our President for the next three plus years. Try to get over it and try to be honest…I know it’s hard. Living with a President who’s a dunce, but who had better grades at Yale than Kerry. That has to hurt. As an aside, Teresa dropped Kerry off her name the other day. That’s got to hurt too.</p>
<p>Relax…listen to some Frank Sinatra music…you pick the song. “Fly me to the moon” should work as should “I’ve got you under my skin”. Then there’s that old standby …Mister B, double O, Z, E. I love that one.</p>
<p>It doesn’t surprise me that the Bush cultists would love B double o ze, considering how much your brave leader loves it. I teach middle school so I am used to your sense of humor.</p>
<p>Honestly, I will give you the Kerry loss, but I don’t think history will agree that Gore lost the election, it was more, Bush was appointed with a questionable supreme court decision. The majority of Americans wanted Gore and it took a fixed election in Florida to undermine this democracy, a fact no one should be proud of.</p>
<p>I probably will be able to live out the next three years, unfortunately many of our brave and dedicated citizens will not because of Bush’s oil war, and because he appoints cronies where we need capable staff. So blame other people, make fun of peoples names, launch vicious personal attacks and point fingers in every direction you can, but it doesn’t change the fact that you are following an idiot, who has turned our economy into the tank, and who vacationed while his countrymen, who he swore to protect died. He, and his administration, are failures and that must keep you up at night. Following the loser, who strummed a guitar in San Diego, while old people and children died.</p>
<p>Even the Republican Senators are asking for better idiots. The article went on to include a comment from the White House…these candidates are qualified because they agree with the President’s agenda!</p>
<p>Get your head out of the sand and have a good day. ;)</p>
