Bush is an idiot who couldn't do anything if the controlling Republican Party both in control of the House and the Senate who dictate Government policy along with a willing Supreme Court. These four Legislative Branches have been dictating Government Policy for the past 8 years, 12 years if you just count the House and Senate. There policies have been eroding and separating the people of this great Nation.

Colin Powell quit because he saw how incompetent the Sec. of State and the Pres. actually were.

As for taxes, yeah I enjoyed my extra $200 buck on my tax return, some tax cut. I don't know about you, but I don't make over $100,000 a year, so while most of us see our $200 tax reduction go into our gas tanks in higher energy prices the 1% of Americans get to roll over Billions of dollars of tax exempt investment funds into a tax free ROTH and when they cash it out that's also tax free, and they will also be able to give their kids that Mansion after they pass, Oh yeah and those thousands of acres of private land, gets to stay that way since that gets to be passed down to Paris Hilton and the Wallmart kids. Did anyone see a reduction in sales tax over the past 12 years? In truth Republicans like to cut taxes for the 1% wealthy, while letting the National Deficit balloon to over 4 Trillion dollars, that's FOUR TRILLION DOLLARS. Cutting taxes while letting public institutions fall apart, look at our schools, look at our roads, look at our health care, the institutions we all depend on. How can Republicans continue cutting taxes without a real plan to pay for needed public funding. Schools are closing around the Country because of "ALL Children Left Behind," a la Bush, passed by the R House an R Senate and their inability to pay for it. Roads, highways and bridges are falling apart because Federal funding has been cut because guess what there's not enough money in the budget to pay for it, because a R House, R Senate, R Pres. don't know how to use a credit card. All they know how to do is borrow, borrow, borrow. And who gets stuck with the bill, well lets see here, guess who just took control of the House of Representatives... THE DEMOCRATS. And guess what they will have to do... bring fiscal responsibility back to the Capitol and pay down the deficit. Heard that before, seems to happen over and over again, Republicans spend, spend, spend, promise empty promises to the majority of Americans, while cutting deals for the very few of Americans, put the Country on the brink of Bankruptcy then get voted out because everyone finally gets wise to the con that's happened to them.

4 Trillion dollars, and you think terrorists are scary, guess who's been funding large sums of the debt America owes, guess... Asian Banks. US lenders have been funding you, me the Government huge amounts of money with the lure of low interest rates, US lenders have been backing this funding by borrowing from Central Banks abroad, most of it is from China's Central Bank, why do you think Bush is so chummy with China these days. Lots of money has also been lent from Countries like Saudi Arabia. To me this just spells disaster, and you know how the R House, R Senate and R Pres. handles disasters... Katrina, Iraq, Delay, Folley. The worst of it, is by putting America in the position of owing large amounts of money to foreign countries like China and Saudi Arabia it becomes a National Security Problem. Last time I checked China was a Communist Country, America's main opposition during the Korean and Vietnam war. What's going to happen when China comes ringing and demanding repayment of all the debt we owe them. And how secure is it when we owe billions of dollars to Saudi Arabia who last I heard most of the 9/11 terrorists including Bin Laden are from there. The R House, and R Senators, R Pres. and R Homeland Security have dropped the ball again. While everyones eyes are stuck on Iraq this Countries Worst National Crisis gets swept under the rug. Before you know it Foreign Countries won't have to invade American soil, because
