Could Republican voters just do one thing before the end of 2008, Admit that George W, Bush was a fuck up for a President. It doesn't take much to see through his administration and if you are really blinded by the pride you have for the party you support you really are lost.

Lets start with the war in Iraq. Immediately after 9/11, he had me. I was on board. The second he declared war on Iraq and sent our troops in, he lost me. There were no weapons of mass destruction and the one head of the perverbial snake has still not been caught in Osama Bin Laden. Why hasn't he been caught and why aren't we all, Republicans and Democrats up in arms over the fact that he not only hasn't been caught but still releasing tapes threatening terror attacks.

His environmental record is dispicable. Even if you don't believe in global warming, and forgetting about that as an environmental concern for a moment, his administration has cut funding to the Superfund bill in half since he took over. Superfund is a bill that was created in response to Love Canal. It was a bill put in place to assist with clean up of landfills. We here in Western New York have more toxic landfills than any other area of the country. The S-Dump is a great example of one that actually has more toxic chemicals in it than the Love Canal. The funding for these has been cut in half. Thats a great way to take care of the land in which we live and it happened under his administrations watch.

His administrations energy policy could have been drawn up by a 5 year old. They had none, so a five year old would have at least had a policy. They are married to oil. Cheney was an oil executive, Bush was an oil executive and EPA officials and energy department officials that they hired were oil executives. So any hope of developing alternative energy is a lost cause. Oil is a dying energy sorce and his administration has done nothing to get us pointed in a new direction. He talked of clean coal technolgy, there is no such thing and coal can't go into my car. To this day, after finding no WMDs and not having caught Osama Bin Laden in Iraq, can anyone make an argument that the reason we are in Iraq isn't for oil?

Speaking of being there for oil, the oil money in Iraq was supposed to help pay for or pay for the war entirely, where is that money? Where is the money that Iraq was supposed to provide us out of their oil money to fund us being there? Instead our country goes broke paying for it.  

The Scooter Libby thing was mishandled, the Alberto Gonzalez thing was a disaster, childrens healthcare, health care for my wife who works for the federally funded and much needed head start program. Its unbelievable the list of things this president and his administration has done to piss people off, yet there are still those of you who feel him and his administration can do no wrong and everything they touch turns to gold.

All of that and I haven't even gotten to social security, healthcare and his waste of an education policy No Child Left Behind, which may be the worst educational policy ever devised. The last 6 years of this mans presidency have been lies and smoke screens. When ever he gets into trouble he pulls the terror card or the Iraq card and distracts us all. Well he distracts the brain washed.  

This administratiion can't step aside soon enough. 1/20/2009 he hands over control to the next guy. Though I have my favorites (both Republican and Democrat), as long as its not Gulliani, I don't particularly care who replaces him either.
