[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by WizArtist: [qb] Join the opposite party and become a fifth columnist. [/qb][/QUOTE]Oh yeah, like THAT'S going to work. Are the Republicans even HOLDING any primaries this year? :rolleyes: I will admit that none of the Democratic candidates has inspired me... [i]yet[/i]. A few have caught my eye in one way or another over the past few months, although I haven't done any major research yet. Despite my tendency to make jokes about him sometimes, I'll admit that he's not a BAD president, like some individuals in our country's past. He doesn't sit by and do exactly the opposite of what needs to be done and then sit on his hands and do nothing when that doesn't work -- like Herbert Hoover, for instance. He doesn't ignore the problem of sectional conflict and hope it goes away, like James Buchanan. However, from what little I know about economics, even I can see that Bush's policies for recovery are slanted far towards the rich end of the tax bracket, and aren't really going to do what he's been saying they're going to. His environmental policies are horrible and short-sighted. I have no trust at all in many of his cabinet officials -- when was the last time anything good was heard about Rumsfeld or Ashcroft, for instance? (Those two make me think "NightWatch" every time...) His actions and statements have embarrassed this country in the global community, and made irresponsible decisions that are very likely to be effecting our foreign policy for decades to come, regardless of when he leaves office. And his vice president? Dick Cheney scares me even more than Rumsfeld and Ashcroft put together! No, there's no one, massive goof-up that I can point to and say, "This is why I think Bush is a bad president." I wasn't completely against the launch of the Iraq War. I realize that the scope and nature of the terrorist threat mandates responses that we're not really used to. But I do think that a lot of things in this country have been mishandled. Do I think that the Democrats can do that much better of a job? No, not necessarily. But I can at least respect them a whole lot more than the buffoon we've got in Washington right now. And I think that any one of them can do a better job. [/QB][/QUOTE]
