>I actually think these people have behaved in a most prudent manner. I'm not sure what anyone complains about. That they're frightening people for no real reason. >It is true that it provides fodder for the Left's attacks, but these people have done a fabulous job. I gather you have not had your first real encounter with a government bureaucracy? A tax audit, maybe? Or trying to help your grandmother qualify for Social Security? Well, my grandmother's biggest problem is that the administration's new prescription drug plan makes her pay thousands more per year towards her drugs... and she's a huge Bush supporter. But yes, I've had encounters with government bureaucracy -- I went to a huge state school for five years. >These are eye-opening experiences that make many people have a new respect for anyone who can actually get things done within government. Ridge's performance, in particular, has been nothing short of miraculous. Getting things done that shouldn't be done isn't that impressive. >Every day I'm amazed at the crew Bush has assembled. Rice, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell, Ridge, as well as people like Paul Bremer (who may possess the best management skills of any person on earth). It is difficult to imagine a more competent group of individuals. Contrast this with people like Christopher Warren, Madelyn Albright, Sandy Berger, and Cohen. And DeeDee Myers. Imagine THOSE people being at the helm for the last three years. If I wore glasses, I'd like to trade mine with yours. You and AS are two peas on opposite ends of the same pod. -Z

Every day I'm amazed at the crew Bush has assembled. Rice, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell, Ridge, as well as people like Paul Bremer (who may possess the best management skills of any person on earth). It is difficult to imagine a more competent group of individuals. Contrast this with people like Christopher Warren, Madelyn Albright, Sandy Berger, and Cohen. And DeeDee Myers. Imagine THOSE people being at the helm for the last three years. If these people are so competent, why the hell is Iraq in chaos and so many other things messed up? Just one example among many.......its been nearly two years since 9/11 and our airports are still not safe. Your apparent pride and/or stubbornness that causes you to support Bush unconditionally at this late date has given your credibility on this thread a huge whack.
