<<Most of the Bush supporters here are incapable of being enlightened as to their fearless leader, I suspect like Bush, they can not admit to having made a big mistake.>> There's a lot more to politics than just rational thought. I can't imagine Bush's support could fall any lower than the high 30's, which means he's lost just about everyone but his die-hard base. Steve Dietrich

When did you see the light about GWB? The war in Iraq. The three issues were: 1. WMD - None found. A couple shells doesn't constitue WMD. 2. Links to terrorism. Syria and Saudi Arabia have greater links, where the case in Iraq is very weak. 3. To remove Saddam. That is the job for the UN, or at least an agreement by neighboring countries, if there was a severe threat. There was no threat to other countries at the time, and neighboring countries opposed it. Then there is the outsourcing of jobs, while CEOs, of those companies make 10 to 100+ million a year. Outsourcing will help CEOs, but not Americans. Also, Bush's remarks about pro-immigrant work force. And Bush's lackluster attempt to improve the economy. The outsourcing, the company relocation to other countries and immigrant work force, benefit large corporations, but it hurts the average working American. A side note, Walmart was caught using many illegal immigrants. Walmart made that largest donation to Bush's campaign. Bush is pro-immigrant work force. The average American CEO pay has increased more than 600% since 1990. Think about. Has your pay increased 600% since 1990? Has the pay of the average worker at Bank of America increased 600% since 1990? Yet BOA is outsourcing jobs to save money and laying off workers. It is clear who Bush represents in office and it isn't the American people. Now grant it, Clinton was in office during this increase, but Bush hasn't done anything about it and Americans are starting to pay the price. Bush has had almost 4 years to do something about it. He hasn't tried to stop it, he has tried to help it. Its time for a change.
