Subject: RE: BS: What has Bush ever done for us?
C'mon, folks, give the shrub a break, would you? Everybody has at least one redeeming quality. Why, just a couple of weeks ago I saw him on the TV reading a book to little kiddies. Just warmed my heart, kind of "nuclear"-like. Of course, the title of whatever book it was has now been entered into those kids databases. For the children, no child left behind, so to speak.

George also wants to eliminate "double taxation" on stock dividends. This will be extemely useful to me if I should ever be in a situation when I actually own any stock. I am confident he will soon extend this philosiphy to eliminate other forms of double taxation, such as sales tax, property tax and fuel tax.

Also, he has a dog. Pet owners are good people, by and large. As I understand it, the dog pees on a tree, and the puddle soaks into the ground. While it may kill the grass, certain microorganisms living in the soil benefit from the Nitrogen and other nutrients. I think this is the basis of the "trickle down" theory of economics.

Finally, W may just be the catalyst that Americans need to try and get back some of the control which we've allowed the government to take. I know that sounds like a conservative position, but I tend to be liberal. How things get all twisted, don't they? But I am very afraid of Bush's government meddling in my affairs, and just sickened by politics in general, as it's practiced in the U.S. today. I know plenty of others feel as I do.

So maybe we need a friggin moron dictator to finally wake up the American Apatheticast Party with a demand for real change. This is a huge force to be reckoned with, I think. Way more than Democrats and Republicans combined. Thanks for the rant, BlueJay
