Bush's Successes

Dear Reader,
I'm getting sick and tired of my fellow Americans
saying that the presidency of George W. Bush is a
failure. With the string of successes he's had,
nothing could be further from the truth. Let me list a
few:
1. He has successfully rid America of that troubling
budget surplus and turned it into a $500 billion
deficit.
2. He has successfully helped America's trading
partners have the highest trade surplus with us in
America's history.
3. He has successfully lowered the taxes for the
richest Americans and corporations at the expense of
99% of the American population.
4. He has successfully started another Viet Nam in
Iraq after lying to the whole world.
5. He has successfully pushed the price of gas up to
the highest level ever here in America.
6. He has successfully allowed American corporations
to dramatically increase their pollution.
7. He has successfully thrown about 10% of the
population out of work.
8. He has successfully allowed corporations to export
our best middle-class jobs.
9. He has successfully divided our country as never
before.
10. He has successfully driven our oldest allies away.
11. He has successfully united the terrorists as never
before (he said all along he was a uniter, not a
divider).
12. He has successfully broken his oath to uphold the
constitution of the United States of America.
13. He has successfully united Democrats (yay!) as
they haven't been for years (I told you he was a
uniter).
14. He has successfully driven me out of the
Republican party for the rest of my life.
You know, with a string of successes like that, it's a
wonder America is still standing.

Great post!
Also, as I continue to register voters, it's not so uncommon to find Republicans changing parties, but I live in a Deomcratic state.
???????????????????? My family & our extended families are all Republican and none of us are exactly rich. E.g. My husband's grandfather was a sharecropper & his father a baker. My grandparents were raised on farms. My father helped build aircraft, my mother was a teller in a bank. This "if you're voting Republican, you must be rich" is utter nonsense. Our base is SOMEHOW coming from rural America???? I look forward to reading that article. Sounds humorous!
He spent 110 million over 4 months to discredit his opponent (While not mentioning his own record) and what did he get in return? His approval rating dropped 15 points.
So yes, number 15: Bush is the #1 asset to the Kerry Campaigns success.

It's truely amazing how little many libs, especially those from liberal enclaves, understand about what Republicans are all about.

How many is that? The small minority of people who use this forum? I remember what Republicans WERE about, before my party abandoned me.
Republicans, once the party of Lincoln now choose to be the party of Intolerance.
Republicans, once the party of small government, now the party of Big government.
Republicans, once the party of strong national defense, leaves our military stretched thinner and less ready now for another conflict, than in 2000
Republicans, once the party of FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY now spends more in the red than any other administration in history.
Republicans, once for personal privacy and less government intrustion into peoples lives, are now in it more than ever, especially IN THE BEDROOM.
A great man and the last great Republican once said: I didn't abandon the Democratic party, it abandoned me.
3 decades later, that saying's never been more true.
I'm not alone in this regard, another reason why Bush will lose and lose easily.
Go find people who voted Gore in 2000 that aren't going to vote for Kerry, and I'll show you a WMD Stockpile in Iraq.
If Frist,Cheney,Rumsfeld,Lott,Limbaugh and others are representative of the Republican party then I certainly don't want to understand or even know more about Republicans. There is no way I could be involved with a party where obvious racists and homophobes are looked up to as leaders.
As far as Republicans and wealth most Republicans that are not military are wealthy or above middle class. The active duty military people generally vote republican because of the strong military spiel(although this year I expect to see a drop in support for Bush among active duty family members if not the actual active duty member). The other group that are Republicans those that are extremely religious and feel the need to enforce their religion on others(those that are pro-life,etc).

If he was really worried about it, don't you think he would have done somethign just a tad sooner? Just an opinion.
