We mealy-mouthed liberals are often willing to give somebody the benefit of the doubt. But Bush says one thing and does another -- constantly.

There was the No Child Left Behind initiative -- big fanfare, then most funding yanked.

Bush came out in favor of Americorps as a model institution ; then slashed funding.

Bush Administration talks about support for troops. Then slashes subsidies to public school districts that serve child from military bases (that don't pay property tax).

"I'm a uniter, not a divider," or something like that. That didn't work out, either.

The Bush administration was going to clean up Wall Street and protect the investor -- but aside from a couple of high-profile prosecutions, it's business as usual and the SEC is still a lapdog. How can the markets work if confidence is lost? How much of the current "good news" that hopefully will point to higher employment is actually due to cooked books and offshoring jobs?

We conquered Afghanistan -- are now are losing it because no money was originally put in the budget to rebuild it. (Republican congressmen put $400 million in the budget for it to avoid embarassment). We're losing the country again.

Too many Bush policies are obvious payoffs to Halliburton, energy interests, big corporations at the expense of the population and our armed forces.

I'm wholly in favor of a two-term Bush presidency -- because at the end of that time, this country will be so screwed up the people will be ready for socialism!
