Where was the hypocrisy in the impeachment? Which of the accusers was guilty of perjury, obstruction of justice, misuse of office, misleading a federal court, submitting false evidence in a judicial proceeding, etc.?? What disappointment has Bush been? He campaigned on tax cuts and education. The tax cut is already done, the education bill soon to be. He is doing what he said he would. He is governing from center right as he said he would. The people who voted for Bush expect this. And I don't believe for a minute your story about your voting record and/or miraculous conversion....

I voted for Reagan in '80 because I thought Carter was a lousy president. First-class person but lousy president. Youe have undoubtedly noticed that many on this thread (including me) agree with you about Carter. He is respected as a person, but not as a national leader. I was a registered Republican from '72 to '98 and voted for Bush over Clinton in '92. In '96 I voted for neither Clinton nor Dole. Voted in other races but not for president. I changed my party registration in '98 from Republican to Democrat because of the hypocrisy of the Republican impeachment proceedings vs. President Clinton. I saw the Republican Party, once the party of Rockefeller, Lindsay, Percy, become dominated by the likes of Dan Burton, "Bugs" DeLay, Newt Gingrich, Jesse Helms and Trent Lott. And let's not forget Antonin Scalia and Clancy Thomas. I woke up one morning in '98 and said, "Self, this party no longer represents your interests. It's time to get out." I did. You gone a long long way left in just three years, then. I have to agree with JLA's reply. D-Dubya-I was elected president because people voted against Clinton-Gore, not for Bush. That statement can be made about all Presidents. They are elected more for who they are not (that other guy) than who they are.
