Now, onto your first point. I too voted for George Bush. Not because I had great hope for him. Not because I agreed with him. And certainly not because I thought he was well suited for the job. I wanted McCain. Gore was simply unacceptable so that, realistically, left George Bush.

(...)

And I will close with a reiteration of the statement I made to Superbelt, anyone who can only find one or two examples of "good" from a man who has served nearly four years as our leader isn't trying very hard. [/B]
John McCain yes! Now here is the guy that I wish was running the country for the past 4 years (I too was a big supporter of McCain in 2000) Unfortunatly we got stuck with a choice between two evils and I picked what I thought to be (and still believe to be) the lesser of these evils. (Its just too bad we are once again faced with a similar choice. Damn the two party system!)

As for the last part, what is there to find that is good? I disagree with everything, and I do mean everything, that Bush has done domestically (or should I say allowed Congress to do to us) and well you already know how I feel about his foreign policy. So let me TRY to find something good he has done. Well lets see, he choked on a pretzel once, that was good (but he actually did that fairly poorly). And he fell off his bike last week, that was good too (well it would have been if he hadn’t been wearing a helmet).

Back to protesting Bush’s actions at home and political infighting, well that’s politics, that’s how it works, that’s how the founders intended it to happen, and when it stops happening then we might as well be living in Saddam’s Iraq because that is what you get when nobody openly questions governmental leadership. Oh, and just let me point back to almost every war the US has ever engaged in, there had always (without exception) been those who questioned how the (then) president was handling the situation. Did it hurt us then? Maybe, but are we better off today for it? Defiantly.
