Steve Re..Liberal's hate of Bush seems to be more important than what is right for this country.
Steve, normally I agree partially or mostly with your posts. However, you and GW seem to have gone off the deep end on this.
Here's what's so off about Harris's statement......its not the hate of Bush that has liberals so bent out of shape. If that were true, I would not be concerned at all.......just wait out the 4 years and then in 2004, do your best to get him out.
Earlier in 2002, I wondered why he bothered me so much more than his father or Reagan. Is it because I was younger or I was having too many personal problems or my political sensitivity was more muted then, or was it because Clinton's political ideologies were similar to mine and I grew comfortable with a Clinton WH.
I finally concluded it was a little bit of the latter but mostly it had to with Bush's policies......specifically his foreign policy. I think in foreign matters he is inappropriate most of the time. I believe the role he is carving out for the US is very wrong and I think other liberals agree. I believe his vision is so different than that of most liberals that it proves to be extremely threatening and provides a flashpoint from which a vehement reaction can be expected from liberals. Yes, I am sure there are some liberals playing this for political gain but I bet you its a small bunch. I think many simply find his actions offensive.
What this country needs is not less but more tort cases. Where, you say. What type of business or profession needs reform in this country more than the lawyers themselves. The lawyers, because they have exempted themselves from being sued for punitive damages, have not enjoyed the benefits we all have received. Every lawyer who brings in an expert witness who says in my opinion, and then later is proven wrong should be sued for damages, just as that doctor whose opinion, while it may have been right 99.9 percent of the time, may have been wrong in this instance; so too should that expert witness be liable, if he causes a murderer to be released, who happens to kill, contrary to his opinion.
I agree things are out of whack. But lets not throw the baby out with the wash. Some good is accomplished under the current system...that needs to remain and the rest reformed.
