Yea yea I know its fun when you ruffle up your feathers and flap your wings while mentioning the words BUSH or REPUBLICANS as it makes you feel better. Its ok, its good therapy for you.

Here's some hot topics of current BUSH-bashdom that when broken down you'll find that we must blame all governements, city, state and local as well and not just the current administration and not just BUSH. Please realize this.

The war:
======================
Yes I know its very unpopular.Yes it could have been done very differently.
Yes to just about any complaint you have on the whole matter - I agree with you.

BUT.. remember, Congress is equally responsible. They can yank us out at any time, but they havent since they dont have enough votes amongst themselves. Why cant they get enough votes? Too many of them are concerned about the public eyes and the political fallout if they do vote to pull out. In simple terms they are putting their political futures ahead of what we the people want them to do. Do I think we should pull out? Nope.

But do the majority of Americans think we should pull out? Yup. Fine, then our elected officials should be doing what the majority wants..... right? Yea right.

Gas Prices:
======================
Yes yes.. its very high now. Keep in mind that its close to the same price now as it was in the 60's and 70's after you convert the dollars worth then compared to now - the gas prices are right on par. The big difference in that equation is the cost of each gallon that is tax. Even after conversion its 4x higher now than before. But I guess we have a lot more roads to take care of these days eh?

Common sense should tell us to try to conserve and help fund research for bio fuels that we can use in our EXISTING cars. I dont want to get rid of mine just because its an SUV or buy a new one... quit telling me this. Mind your own business.

The Economy:
=======================
Hardly ever talked about. One of the strongest economies in 3 decades and 4 different administrations. But you dont want to talk about that do ya? Nah.. to hell with the good stuff.. lets just talk about the bad. Ok, i'll keep going.

Illegal Immigration:
=======================
Being here without documentation is against Federal Law.
Being here on expired documentation is against Federal Law.
Erecting a big ass Fence to channel people thru the proper entry points is not.
My only complaint is that the fence isn't completed yet.

Please knock and we'll let you in, we turn very few away, we just want your information so we can collect your taxes so they can be used in our American entitlement systems that you are utilizing now. Nothing is free.. we all pay.

GITMO:
======================
Wonderful place. We need more of them. Torture is good for those who want to kill you.

Global Warming:
======================
Yawn. Chicken or the Egg? Cart or the horse? For every 1000 scientists who claim that this is an issue there are another 1000 scientists who claim it isn't. Im fair about it though and realize reducing pollutants is a good thing regardless of what the scientific community thinks this month. Just don't preach to me about my 'carbon footprint'. Mind your own business.
