The BIG problem goes back to when George Bush Sr. was the President and *listened* to the democrats and raised taxes. Then~ Bill Clinton got into office because of *Read My Lips* didn't do what he said he would and ole Slick Willy lowered our defenses to nill by shutting down military bases left and right. We were attacked: embassies, naval vessels, marine barracks, and then attacked in 1993 at the World Trade Center. The country re-elected a weak leader again down the tubes we go even further. George W. Bush got into office and was only in office a few months when 9/11 happened. We were left devastated!!! Our economy took a big blow, major loss of lives, and then YES we had to defend ourselves from further attacks on American soil! With an already crippling econonmy from being attacked and having our military down-sized we had to build it back up to protect ourselves. Then, a major hurricane hits and gas prices roar. Yes, it has been a tough decade but, I dare say *anyone* in office could have done any better with the circumstances what they are and have been. In fact had Gore or Kerry been in office we would all be speaking arabic and dressing in their garb and be walked all over like we were NOTHING definitely not Americans!!

All of the above has hurt us but, we would be in much worse shape had we not had President Bush in office. I don't agree with everything he does but, am definitely on-board with him and his war on terror and to protect our great land!!!

Well.... Yes! It's kind of funny.

incredible isn't it, republicans pretending they are not republicans...
