<font color=blue>"Is Bush fit to be President is what they are asking? They are now convinced that he has not achieved anything significant in his life."<font color=black> So you opine. Unfortunately, your opinion is in a distinct minority & is not reality based. Heck, anyone who has the distinction of being Governor of a state in the USA, then to be elected President, in & of itself is a significantly noteworthy achievement. Here's proof of your minority opinion..... Last week’s seismic voter shift to George W. Bush showed no signs of dwindling in this week’s Time Poll. Bush continues to lead Democratic challenger John Kerry among likely voters by double digits, 52% - 41%, in the three way race, with Nader at 3%, the same as last week. Putting this into perspective, just a month ago, post-Democratic convention, the Time Poll had Kerry with a statistically significant lead over Bush, 48% - 43%... <font size=4> Even more damaging to Kerry is that Bush now has a 6 point lead on handling of the economy, 50% - 44%. Just one month ago, Kerry had the edge, 51% - 42%. Bush has also taken commanding leads over Kerry on handing of the following issues: War on terrorism: Bush is up 23 percentage points over Kerry, 58% - 35%, compared to an 8 point lead in early August. Situation in Iraq: Bush is up 20 points over Kerry, 57% - 37%, compared to a 2 point edge in early August. Commander in Chief: Bush is up 20 points over Kerry, 57% - 37%, compared to a tie in early August. Kerry now has only a small edge on health care, 47% - 42%, falling from an 18 point margin in early August. He’s now just even up with Bush, 47% Bush – 44% Kerry, on “understanding the needs of people like yourself,” after leading Bush by 15 points in early August. Job rating: Bush is now at 56% approve – 41% disapprove, solidly above the 50% historical threshold for re-electing incumbents. A month ago, he was up only 5 points, with his favorability just at 50%. Deserves re-election?: Bush has cracked the 50% mark for the first time in recent Poll history, with 52% saying he deserves re-election, while 45% saying it’s time for someone new. Just a month ago, Bush was down by 12 points on deserving re-election.

<font color=blue>"They are finding out that when when he (Bush) called upon to accept responsibility and sign up, he shirks and dodges. And the pattern of behavior he displayed 30 years ago is what he continued to display during the past 4 years."<font color=black> I couldn't disagree more with your vague supposition. Perhaps you could cite a couple of specific, factual instances of Bush shirking & dodging as President & 30 years ago as well. Perhaps them we can have a reasonable, reality based, rather than opinion based discussion.

<font color=blue>"The terrorists designed to hit America hard. Under Bush, not only did he provide them an opportunity to physically strike at America, but they have also significantly affected the quality of life."<font color=black> Huh? Could you elucidate upon that? Perhaps you could include some accurate specifics so I can understand what you mean.

"Instead he (Bush) continues to spread fear in us." Could you cite some verbatim quotes from Bush & senior Admin officials that would lend credibility to the "fear" that is being spread?

Gee Chinu, one post of yours gets four responses from the same poster. You must be doing something right. :-) I agree with your point, btw.

Bush would not be where he is today if his grandfather hadn't sold oil and loaned money to the Nazis...............that's where the money trail started. Born on third base and he thinks he hit a triple. Where would he be if his Dad hadn't pulled rank to get him into and out of the National Guard? Maybe on the wall with the other 58k men. Bush is probably the only person of means that had to have help getting out of the National Guard as well as using help getting in. He should have been given the 24 months of mandatory active duty.
