"I read all the time, my friend...just not slanted news. And I'd never believe what foreuign news told me! Gimme a break! I'm assuming you were a Clinton supporter too (maybe not) & if you wanjna talk about a REAL crook/criminal...sheesh! Where does that end? But we're talkin' about Bush...better yet a politician. And who ever said politicians are squeaky clean.

Basically, my point is what has Bush fucked up? He's a great president, at least during the curreent status of things. Maybe he hasn't fulfilled every single promise to you, but when ya think about it...who really has? I've never said Bush is a great man...I'm sure he has skeltons just like the rest of us, but when it comes down to threats to our country, there's no one better for the position. "

*s* I assume by slanted news ya are referring to the US media?
Na.. It may be worth actually reading a range of "foreign news" cos ya sure as hell won't find any balance in US media! It is well-known (apart from some extremist news agencies elsewhere), the US media is a joke.

And no.. I don't support Clinton or any assholes (yea.. I know what you mean!). Maybe the problem is the method by which these people gain power - ie.. supported by "interest groups". Rarely will the best man win.

Seriously.... I think Bush is a weak asshole, a genuine walking fraud who would be unable to stand on his own without some title such as "Commander-In-Chief" where he can expect some "patriotism" to follow him. Prior to 9/11 he was sinking fast - tis only 9/11 that sustained him - and it is suspect now that he needed to "have a war" to maintain his support (and re-election). He has contributed vitually zero to the US since taking power - only mouthed off threats and ultimatums to the world and raised more anti-US feeling (not just among a load of potential "terrorists").
He has no diplomatic ability, no economic policy - it is just sad shit. He has boxed himself into a corner over his Saddam fetish and the repercussions of that are "full of promise" for a bad time for the US ahead, - not just from "terrorists" blah, but from many other countries. The guy ain't brought any credit to the US and is simply not trusted.

As for his promises.... I actually can't find one yet that he has fulfilled - yea, I'm serious!! I keep looking in the hope he has kept some promise - cos I can hardly believe anyone can survive that long and get away with that shit. If you know of one, let me know.

Shit this is a boring long post!
