len,
Re: I think GW is an honest man.
Gosh, based on what, exactly?
I've re-examined his campaign promises, and it seems that he has broken the great preponderance of them.
He was touting small government, education, stability for the Social Security system, fiscal responsibility and many more sensible ideas.
Instead of fulfilling his promises, we have the greatest increase in centralized government since the 1940's, cutbacks in funding for education, attempts to loot the Social Security trust funds to pay for the tax cuts for the richest 1% of Americans, a rapid return to government deficits and deception about the role Bush played in enhancing and abetting the rise of a criminal like Ken Lay.
Just how in the world can you call this honest?
I recall commenting bitterly to anyone who would listen on this thread in November, 2000 that George Bush would be in the employ of conniving bankers who want to bankrupt this country with a huge increase in the national debt. Republican true-believers dismissed me as a crackpot back then. The current budget proves that I knew exactly what I was talking about. Bush intends to destroy the America most of us middle class people have been working so diligently for for so long. He intends to gut-shot this country and send the profits to the off-shore tax havens of the craven men who are creating, as someone just said, the worlds' most evil war-mongering kleptocracy.
