If we had a democrat in office that has let the country go down the crapper during his tenure, I will be the first one on here agreeing with you conservatives. If you think the country has only begun it's downward spiral since the democratic congress, you are sadly mistaken. I tolerate alot of posts on here that I don't agree with, and will argue my point, while trying to keep my respect for you other fellow fisherman. But, this post is garbage, Bush has been a total failure. I wonder why John McCain has distanced himself from this admin, and is now preaching Change as well. All I have to say, is any person elected in November will be a pleasant relief from what we currently have - some more than others. Get real guys.
Get real eh? Okay.

I, like so many appreciate your forbearance. It seems you've forgotten Col, so I'll point out once again that a post indirectly proportional to your views is not necessarily garbage.

A post does not become garbage because you wave your magic wand and proclaim it so. Your tactics of insulting a poster's intelligence doesn't fly with me either, that is just plain transparent liberal crap. I hate to be the one to break it to you, but having an opposing view does not make a person less intelligent than you.

I don't care what you, the media, or anyone else says, President Bush has NOT been a total failure! Yes, he's made some mistakes. Many would say the war is the biggest, but we'll see how that ultimately turns out. If the seed of democracy planted in the middle east takes root, history may have an entirely different view of President Bush.

Have there been any radical Muslim bombings in our country during his Presidency? Have your taxes risen? Have your taxes not been LOWERED? In your wildest dreams do you think BO would ever send you a tax rebate check?

Are you capable Col, of assigning any blame whatsoever for the perceived things wrong in our country on congress, particulary those belonging to the party you support who are the majority?

Have you bothered to hold those congressional members of the party you support RESPONSIBLE for creating this economic wreck we're in? Greedy bastages like BO's advisor Frank Raines, who is set for life, while my meager 401k hemorrages red ink.

Have you bothered to hold those congressional members of the party you support responsible for blocking regulatory measures that would've likely prevented this economic wreck we're in? Hypocrites like Dodd who chairs the committee that stopped the regulatory efforts, yet was square in the middle of the theft of 700 billion more of our dollars.

IMO it's your insistence on parroting the Dem party and blaming every ill known to mankind on Bush that er... 'negates anything intelligent you may say in the future'.
