He has never demonized the government. I see you too are factually challenged, or do not know what the word means.......

Murali--I wouldn't call George W. a "wimp" just 'cause he advocates wimpy policies when it comes to the elderly, minorities, women and child and working people type issues. It's just just he's adopted the staunch side of these issues in order to protect his tax cut. My prime view is that the best tax cut Americans can get comes from strong engine running the economy. My secondary view is George W. is ill-suited to deal with the kinds of technology issues which especially confront America these days. My tertiary view is Bush will, in the worse manner possible, perpetuate a failed drug war using the law and order pedestal popularly seen by politicians past, ultimately meaning prison money over education money, jails instead of schools. Hate to say it, but Bush, last night looked and sounded an awful lot like Pat Robinson--a turnoff to most voters.

In a typically confused and rambling answer to the fourth question in last night's debate on parental accountability in education, Bush stated that he would advocate the publication of student scores on standardized national tests on the Internet. This proposal constitutes an extreme violation of privacy. Many people don't want information--good or bad about their kids circulating all over the world. Furthermore, this is a form of puritanical public shaming. A kid who gets a lousy grade on a test isn't a criminal. What's next: Mug shots of kids with lower than a C average at the post office?! Would you want information about your kid to be accessible to this board?
