Success is fine. Cheating is wrong. Their energy cronies windfall profits made from bending and breaking rules come out of your pocket and mine. If you're the rah-rah about letting the rich get richer even if they cheat and destroy the environment in the process, then go ahead and send them your campaign contributions. Otherwise seek out more honest decent candidates in the future. The very fact that Bush got so successful without ever doing an honest day's work in his life until around age 44 ought to clue you in. Compare that to Clinton who worked his way up from nothing. Didn't even have a father. Actually almost any other politician is hard-working and deserving compared to Bush. And as for Cheney and his type, he left government then raked in tens of millions using his influence to get government contracts, did business with Iran, Iraq and OPEC using the power we gave him, and gave nothing back to the world, only 1% in charitable contributions. Talk about zero points of light. Both of these men set poor examples for the young generation. Either you get born into power or you turn around and exploit public service experience to the max regardless of laws (like doing business with Saddam and Iran) which you used to enforce. And giving nothing back while harping how we ought to give our public money to Faith-Based Programs sao he can appear religious and compassion. Just so much hypocrisy. The entire Bush clan is known for doing almost nothing charitable in Texas despite their fast-growing wealth made from inside sweetheart deals, and that goes for most of their friends too like Jim Baker. Compare that to the Jimmy Carters of the world for whom money is not important and who has changed the world in positives ways since leaving office. My parents are from Houston so I've heard a lot about the Bushes. The Bushes are "nice" people but they're snobs who don't even mingle with anyone outside their high-powered inner circle of energy CEO's, ex-generals and probably CIA operatives. It's a whole mind-set that's molded GW into what he is, the luckiest, least compassionate and most under-qualified president we will ever see. He is also the most personally isolated president I've ever witnessed. I doubt if one foreign leader likes or respects him, and most of the world outside the GOP diehards disagree with his policies because they are for the most part just plain bad for the world.
