I really don't understand how anyone can support Bush. I read an article today in Business 2.0 about well known Republican Pete Peterson (Chairman of Blackstone Group and the Council of Foreign Relations). Peterson was quoted: "I haven't decided yet whom I'm going to vote for, I've been a Republican all my life, and I'm still a Republican. But my enthusiasm for this administration is, shall we say, restrained." That is stunning from a Republican stalwart. And then this: "This administration and the Republican Congress have presided over the biggest, most reckless deterioration of America's finances in history." My comment: No kidding! “Today,” Peterson writes, “so-called conservatives are out pandering LBJ. They must have it all: guns, butter and tax cuts.” How can anyone support Bush? He can’t even blame Congress for the reckless spending, since Bush has not vetoed a single bill (the first full term President since John Q. Adams almost 175 years ago to not use the veto).
