Excuse the obnoxious title, but it seems like these are the only type of threads the Lit politicians will read.

I have to clarify, though, that I know nothing about this guy at all, or just how conservative he really is.

But I like what he says, especially the bit about the two party system.

Good read.

Excellent article, I wish I'd written it.

I didn't vote for him, but I have supported him as an "ordinary man in an extraordinary position, doing the best he can" for much of his tenure in office. Despite his obvious idiocy, I believe Colin Powell. I had trust in some of his guidance.

The only thing he has done in office that has gained my support has been NOT bailing out Enron.

But particularly the last few paragraphs about the broken system, is the best part for me.

Other than "we're drunk in the mall with our great-grandchildren's credit cards" That's just funny, and sick, and sad. My impression of the administration.

I would apologize if I had voted for him as well. But I didnt. Not that the one I did vote for would have been much better.

perhaps bush's true legacy will be that he fucks up badly enough to make both parties align at the center

one can hope, at least

Interesting - not a single fucking word about the damage to our civil rights, how the government is spying on us, how we have secret police, secret courts, secret laws, secret prisons and secret prisoners, the torture, the president who breaks laws because he thinks he is above them.

His main lament seems to be that Bush didn't catch Bin Laden and caused a foriegn policy mess - not that he has greatly accelerated our slide to a totalitarian police state where the president is much more powerful and can ignore the laws he doesn't like.

"I told all four that there are going to be some times where we don't agree with each other, but that's OK. If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator," Bush joked.

"A dictatorship would be a heck of a lot easier, there's no question about it, " [Bush] said.

I loved that last quote, too. Fiscal irresponsibility couldn't have been put better. Odd that Republicans are still giving him a bye for that.

Of course, throughout history, Democrats haven't exactly been hallmarks of fiscal responsibility either . . . but what's going on now is ridiculous.

Every fawkin’ talk show host at one time or another has found a reason to dump on Bush you slackjaw jackels!

Mostly for McCain/Feingold because the cowards in Congress relied on the courts and his signing of every fawkin’ spending bill Congress can dream up. He’s the earmarker's dream president! He thinks he’s just there to put his stamp of approval on what the people demand through their elective representatives and if it’s deficit spending, so be it; he has a war to run (not a criminal prosecution)…

No one is running to the center, hell Corzine is calling for higher taxes in NJ at the same time the Democrats are calling for an end to Bush's tax cuts.

I dont have to appologize.

I wouldn't vote for a Republican if you cut off my hands.

Don't blame me, I voted Libertarian!

 

[shoulderblade]

What do you have in mind as an altenative to the two party system?

I haven't read the article because I am lazy, but 2 party systems don't work...obviously.

Too black and white, Chocolate and vanilla..people need more flavours.

Great article.

That's a republican telling the truth.

 

[Cap’n AMatrixca]

As opposed to the liar Joe Leiberman?

 

[Purple Haze]

Bush has been a bad president?

Oh my God, stop the presses!

 

[Purple Haze]

What will they think of next?

So you're comparing a conservative apologizing for the President, and calling him perhaps the worst President in history, to, for example, Rush Limbaugh chiding the President on his spending habits? This wan't someone disagreeing with him while still supporting him, as most conservative talkies have . . . this was quite the opposite.

What I want to know is, who is this guy? I know several conservatives who aren't really all that conservative. It's not as big a deal if he's one of them . . . most of them have jumped off the good ship Dubya a long time ago anyway. What I want to know is, is this guy a true conservative?

As I said, I know nothing about him.

It's hard to press the buttons on those electronical Dieboltzzz machines with stumps.

Dunno to what you are referring, but I think Leiberman is wrong on his support of our Iraq policy. I think Hillary is a hawk, too.
