I don't believe the War on Terrorism is being waged as
aggressively as it could be.


Every where we see Al-Qaeda we kill Al-Qaeda. I don't know how the war could be waged more agressively.

Re Tax Cut - I think it could have been designed better and I think it should have been bigger and kicked in earlier but getting it through still amounts to "good rating". A better, quicker, larger tax cut would have earned an "excellent" rating

It was sold to the American public as helping us get out of recession

Its effect is positive in that area. Your right that the effect is week but its there. In any case what it is sold at is a political tactic rather then an indication of how good or bad the policy is. If you want to attack Bush on that attack the tactic then not the policy.

and it will benefit mainly the rich

Since they pay the vast majority of all federal income taxes it would not be sensible or fair for them to not get a large chunk of any reduction.

there is growing evidence that Al Qaeda has regrouped and are stronger than ever

What evidence that they are stronger then ever. I haven't even seen an opinion peace suggesting that they are, let alone actual evidence.

the US budget is very quickly becoming a financial mess.

Mostly due to revenue comming in lower then expected due to the recession and 9/11.

Re economy and presidential responsibility for it - No need to go around in circles over this again. I'll just state that I disagree with you.

They are not exaggerated; he is a racist.

Saying that he is obviously a full blown racist is an exageration.

Well, you managed to skip over Germany, Canada and Russia.

Russia is not really an ally even if they are no longer an enemy. Germany has become very pacifist lately, I don't see any good reason for us to follow their lead. Canada may not be supporting the move on Saddam much but its not like they hate us or have become our enemy, policy disagreements happen all the time.

As for Jesse Jackson, I'll take your word he's a racist. I think he's a jerk that only has
some support/power within the black community.


He can't pass laws but it can influence them, and he also shakes down companies for contributions to his organization. Accusations of racial bias fade away when they send the check.

Reps. have a bad name when it comes to race.........and its from their own doings. Its karma....you
get back what you put out.


Republicans haven't shown themselves to be any more racist the Dems. I'd even say they are less, but they are also less able to get away with it.
