What have we lost to Bush (So far)
Edited on Wed Jul-28-04 05:45 PM by ck4829
We have lost the following because of Bush:
3000 civilian lives in 9/11, the most devestating terrorist attack in history.
1000 military personnel because of 2 wars that can be called quagmires.
We have a record deficit.
We have lost 2 good allies, Germany and France.
We have lost our place of respect in the world.
More innocent lives are being lost in the Middle East because Bush listens to the Christian Right when it comes to Israel and Palestine.
Our government is nothing short of a mockery because of the racist extremist bigots in it.

Bush's term is not over yet, let's not see the extended version, and what he really plans to do with our nation and world.

11. Mr. Clinton said.............
George Bush cut the program I went through for Job Retraining. This is sad. My life has changed because of this Liberal program(JTPA). I went from riding a bike(not joking) to owning my own home in California, as well as owning a new truck. I wish I could be a poster child for progress.

4. her soul
.... fear and loathing are not a foreign policy. Neither is agression against people who have not harmed you.... neither is whoring out the military to corporate interests... nor is war-profiteering and corruption beyond comprehension while doing so. These people have disappointed me terribly.... as well as most of the rest of the world.

3. Lost our moral compass
That's what happens when torture is condoned in the highest levels of government.

10. The Right To Be Free From...
unreasonable searches and seiziers... Checked out any good books at the library lately?
The right to peaceably assemble... How about those 1st amendment zones?
The right to a, speedy, trial by jury... Jose Pawhosy?

To name a few.

Jay

12. While I agree with most of your list...
accusing Bush of causing the world trade center issue is a bit over the top... It reduces your credibility and makes all democrats look bad to say such nonsense.
