LTTE in The Day: GOP Supports Bush Because He's Effective

In response to the letter titled “Why are Republicans still supporting Bush?,” published Aug. 18, Republicans still support President George W. Bush for the same reasons we went to the polls and elected him.

It takes a lot of work to overcome 42 years of Democratic control of both House and Senate, but President Bush is working to do just that. He has lowered taxes, not just on the wealthy, but on everyone. He has instituted standardized testing for school students that highlights the failures of public education. Those failures are being turned around finally so that our children will be able to compete with the rest of the world when they are old enough to work.

He righteously went to war on two fronts. No matter what liberals say, it was the right thing to do to stop Saddam Hussein. President Bill Clinton had Bosnia to stop the ethnic cleansing. Bosnia looks like a virus outbreak in comparison to the bloodletting that occurred daily in Iraq. Our deficit is more tied to poor spending practices on the part of Congress than tax relief enacted by our president.

Why do Democrats love Bill Clinton? Soldiers died in Somalia for nothing, and we left with our tail between our legs. Sudan offered to give us Osama bin Laden, but Mr. Clinton didn't want him. He did nothing but raise taxes. Big business created jobs, not Bill Clinton. He enacted environmental laws that restricted the economic building of oil refineries, which is why there is a shortage and a price increase. And, somehow, Democrats love him, and hate Mr. Bush.

When you wake up to smell the coffee, please take your dose of reality pill and get out of your dreamland.

Where's that Yellow Elephant web link? I'd love to send this idiot a military enlistment form.

1. Enlistment form sounds very good.

People have a warped idea of what the Constitution stands for. He is obviously deranged.

2. This person

knows less about reality than my tropical fish know about trigonometry.

3. "Effective" at what..putting a face

on the dangers of sociopaths in our midst?

Effective at killing our Soldiers in Iraq and leaving our National Guard depleted?

Raping our treasurey, pillaging our lands and forests?

The bushwa hasn't been effective at stealing our Social Security yet..but not because of idiots like this letter writer..it's because of people like us.

4. I think he raped the land and pillaged the treasury. lol. n/t

[Cha]

6. OMG! I was so disgusted I

got carried a wee bit away..now I'm laughing!

But, bushwa is such a backassward cabal of moronic greedheads they could have "raped the treasury and pillaged the land and forests". :7

5. Someone smashing all of the eggs in a market with a hammer

is also "effective".

Only those who sell eggs would appreciate the action.

7. He's an effective

screw up and dangerous to our future as a democracy. If he's a Christian, then I guess I'm not one and Jesus surely wasn't. He has done NO GOOD THINGS for this country. Standardized testing is not a measure of education. The tax cuts DO create huge budget deficits along with WAR spending, not social spending. It's a fact because the budget balloons with every slash and borrow conservative that wins. Facts are facts and its time for the idiot population to break out of their DREAMLAND and get a brain before they destroy us all.
