So far, what do you consider to be well done? Tax cuts, leadership in response to 9/11, aggressively conducting the war on terror, opening up at least a possibility of Iraq being disarmed of its WMD. What he has done wrong or poorly - Steel tariffs come to mind. If you press me I'm sure I'll come up with more. My point was based on the Lott revelations. Which are just relevant to Lott possibly being a racist not Bush, and which where exaggerated even in Lotts case. Also Bush strongly condemned the statement by Lott. Bush has stirred up the pot with a number of our enemies or potential enemies, agitated a whole religion, Islam, and has alienated most of our allies. NK, Iraq and others where acting against our interests before GW, France was not very supportive before Bush, Al Qaeda was attacking Americans before GW, radical Islam was growing and becoming more anti-American before GW... I know you have a dictionary. You need to look up the words. Its ridiculous to argue over them. Its not a matter of the dictionary definition. I doubt we disagree about the definition of the word but the definition is itself vague and subjective. One definition is "one who is opposed to progress" another is one who "seeks to undo political progress". What amounts to progress is subjective. Most people would be opposed to some things that some see as progress or seek to undo some political changes. You could take the dictionary definition and make almost everyone a "reactionary". First, Hitler initially tied his expansion of Germany to his goal of regaining parts of Germany lost in the first World War. He planed for more from the beginning. That was just a beginning. Also even the initial expansion included other areas besides the ones you mention. As for other Dems being racist, I wouldn't lose any sleep. You'd learn a lot more doing racial background checks on the Reps. A republican that is openly racist gets condemned by Republicans and practically killed by the Democrats. A Democrat who is racist gets a pass, and if its a black racist then he or she get applause. Tim
