Let's see (these are just the recent ones):
• The US is embroiled in a 'war' with no end in sight, with US servicemen/citizens dying everyday for it.
• The group the US is supporting in Iraq, the centerpiece of this 'war', just got voted out of the large majority of their senate, with those seats only to be filled-in by politicians that support the insurgency that is killing said Americans.
• The Domestic Spying scandal. In agreement with his reasoning or not, fact of the matter is, the FISA court is manned by judges rotating from the Justice Department, literally in the same building as the Attorney General's office. Bush HAD to be aware of the simple ways he could have avoided the scandal. But then again, that is only IF indeed the spying was not done with a political intent, as opposed to what he claims (security). You notice no one from the Administration has said that it wasn't at all?
• Though I don't assign blame to his administration whatsoever, I notice an irony to the fact that Republicans seemed to raise a higher voice over a single person, who would have never heard, or cared about, what was said about her (Schiavo), than the issues, and apparent incompetencies that led to the New Orleans disaster being what it is.
• More and more jobs getting cut everyday, while we spend billions on the 'war'.
• Our borders are more porous than ever, while his Administration continues to try and appease the Fox Administration that hands out pamphlets on how to make it across, to the US.
• Iran, China, and Russia have banded together to 'protect' Iran's rights to have nuclear weapons, with no newsworthy ripple coming from the Administration. In the meantime, lord only knows what North Korea is doing. When it comes down to it, do you think China would rather side with the US, or their nuclear-capable border-mate?
• 4th Amendment rights disintegrating before our very eyes, including the provision in the Patriot Act that allows the Secret Service to detain/search anyone without warrant, as long as it is in the name of 'National Security'.
• It personally scares me that having the Al-Qaeda as the consummate 'boogeyman' is actually GIVING the Administration more power than any Administration has ever had. Where is the real incentive on them going away? (As far as the Bush Presidency is concerned).
Though you will still sneer at the idea, I'm sure, all of the above points were done from what I consider my conservative viewpoint. I can only wonder at the list a strong Liberal can come up with.
Feel free to respond with your points/counterpoints, Mr. Yogs--or would you dare claim that you look at things unbiased?
