first off, i'd like to say that i don't consider myself a dem or a gop. having said that, i can't help but notice and thought i'd point out that whenever i see any arguments coming from republicans, it's always attacking kerry or calling him names. i see a point brought up about bush and the only thing republicans seem to have in response is a counter attack on kerry. on the other hand, when i see something about kerry posted or broadcasted or printed, there are admittedly counter attacks, but there is also quite often an arguement in defense of kerry or a positive point in his favor. so i'd like to hear positive spin about bush from anyone who can provide it in this thread with the following exceptions....

1) i don't want to hear about how bush has kept us safe. sure, there hasn't been a major attack here since 9/11 but 9/11 happened on his watch, and i haven't seen enough evidence to prove that a) he did all he could to stop that from happening, and b)that if anyone else at all had been in office this past term they wouldn't have just the same (if not better after considering the resulting allocation of our countrys money and manpower in the invasion of iraq) track record when it came to the dry spell we've experienced since 9/11. especially considering how focused we've become on terrorism as a country since that day. i also feel that terrorism is a no brainer issue when it comes to priority, so theres no way to convince me that any president would do a better or worse job suppressing and eliminating it.

2)don't use kerry to prove your point(s). like i said, i don't want to here why you think kerry or his party is bad, i want to hear why you think bush is good.

i'd also like this to be a nonpartisan thread. so if any dem's can think of any good things to say about bush or refute any of the glowing posts of republicans, by all means fire away with your thoughts. thanks!
