He is a career politician. Therefore, I don't trust him.

Not perfect, but beats the shit out of Gore. With Gore we would have surrendered already.

You're right though, that was a knee jerk response. Still, he's signed clearly unconstitutional laws and that is enough to put him on my shit list. |

He signed the Patriot act.
He signed the incumbent protection act. He let the drilling in the artic die from inattention. I voted for him but it is tough watching him do these things. He is better than Gore, I'm just not sure by how much. I don't think there is a chance in hell he will let the AW ban sunset. We will see. |

It will sunset. It's written into the law. You can be sure that he'll sign its replacement though. I'd sure be surprised if he didn't (assuming a replacement ban gets to his desk.)

You may be on to something with the unconstitutional laws,I think he wants them shoot down just not by him and thats a sh!tty move. And thank you for taking the "Knee Jerk!" for what it was. We need to keep an eye on that crap,and we all do it. Every time one of us snaps off the commies start in with there crap!"see,all these gun people are nuts" ect,ect,. |

Quoted: You may be on to something with the unconstitutional laws,I think he wants them shoot down just not by him and thats a sh!tty move. Not sh!itty - it's probably his only viable move. An Analogy: You face a formidable enemy (Liberals) charging hard to the gate (CFR). You are outnumbered (because of RINOs in Congress), outgunned (veto overide) and they have superior manuverability (the Media). You believe overwhelming reinforcements (SCOTUS) are very likely on their way to back up your side. These are your options. #1) Stand and resist (veto CFR) and most likely lose your life very quickly ('02 & '04 elections). #2) Tactical retreat (sign it). Let enemy win the battle. Join with reinforcements to counterattack. What would you do? Remember, the ultimate goal is to defeat CFR, not win every battle with Congress. |

I agree with most of The_Macallan said. Bush is The Man. There are no way in hell that he will make every fricking group happy, and that is the fact. I have no problem voting for him again in '04, unless he has some major screw-ups. But as long as he can correct his mistakes and makes thing right, then it is cool with me. We all make mistakes, right? |

What do I think of Bush? Just read my signature line. The only guys worthy of the job wouldn't touch it with a 12 foot pole.
However, I'll take a Republican over a Democrat any day. |

What Bush is trying to do is take away the liberal's "issues". It's a valid strategy which puts him in a unique position as it totally disarms the Democrat's historical claims that Republican Presidents are uncompromising hard-liners. His actions have disarmed the Democrats for the upcoming elections. As for the law, it's clearly unconstitutional and Bush clearly wasn't enthusiastic about signing it. I'm sure it was a calculated gamble that it would be repealed by the Supreme Court. |
