Bush has taken Clinton-Dick Morris political schemings and raised them to an even Higher (or lower) level, making this as stated many times in the press, the most political administration in history, that is, the most shallow and manipulative for show and to fool voters only. The rhetoric attack Axis Of Evil, war and compassion is one thing. The real policies which Bushies dont tout are what you see actually happening; giant tax cuts to the very rich esp in estate taxes, minimal help on anything to the middle-class, the stripping of environmental protection, ataciks on on wilderness, lack of policing by SEC-EPA-FERC, the phony energy crisis and push for sweetheart deals that followed, the killing of fuel efficiency bill, the attempt to throw money at the religious right with "Faith-Based", the attack on unions, California, the withholding of help to the states, the movement to privatize social security, defeat campaign finance reform in court with Ken Starr, the saber rattling to goad Iraq, Iran and North Korea into conflicts we can ill afford, the siding with the HMO's on health care programs, the pork deals given to Lilly Pharma and others, the lack of a Homeland Security plan that includes actual spending, border control and policing (even Sean Hannity is griping about that), the stonewalling secretiveness such as in the case of Cheney's energy papers, attempt to quash the 9-11 investigation, spreading rumors and denying facts, the piling on of federal deficits, Star Wars deployment though the system is not ready or realistic, and more to come with this new GOP controlled agenda. This is what Bushies want or accept. This is what we need to bring to a stop ASAP before is bankrupts us as a nation and lets special interests rip us off even more. Honesty and integrity is the one thing really lacking.
