Bush is the LEAST bi-partisan president we've ever had. And Delay in congress is just as bad. You have the shoe on the wrong foot, buddy. The Dems bent over backwards to try and work with Bush when he took power, but Bush did the following: 1) Did not invite moderate Republicans or Democrats to planning sessions 2) Let hardliners like Cheney and Delay control policy-making (most of it in secret) 3) Hoodwinked Ted Kennedy into coming together on education and health, then pulled the rug out from under him by not funding the very programs he promised 4) Basically called Democrats unpatriotic and appeasers of terrorism just because they objected to hardline items in his bills or fiscally irresponsibility. 5) Ignored environmentalism as if it doesn't matter and supported pro pollution measures 6) Went too far with tax cuts for the rich putting us on track for record deficits and fiscal mismanagement 7) Let Cheney run a very secretive, intimidating White House. Members only get listened to, not even Powell gets respect. 8) Lied en masse to everyone about the need to invade Iraq and the threat Saddam posed. 9) Used rightwing surrogates to wage vicious character attacks on anyone who dared to want to debate. 10) Intimidated the press into parroting his positions. 11) Tried to destroy critics of any party personally as they did outing Joe WIlson's wife. * All this created the urgent need to oust Bush-Cheney for the good of our country and democracy because they turned out to be the opposite of what they promised to be, a hardline rightwing imperial presidency which serves only industrial special interests, will do or say anything to gain more power and considers itself above the law.
