My next three:Lilith said:The Defecit (as stated above)
Illegal immigration (pretty much as stated above)
Social Security (and how he ties this in with immigration just ticks me off!)
Good one! I agree! This is one of the most offensive parts of his presidency.ShamMol said:3.) I got cousel from my father (and not the father on earth). Aka, the interjecting of extreme faith into the white house thus permeating itself down into regions of government where it doesn't belong.
I agree! Needless to say there's not much of a threat that Bush will pick a left leaning anyone, so I hope that he will somehow find someone who is not dogmatic and who will interpret the law on a case by case basis without predetermined prejudices.ShamMol said:26x: Well, I honestly could care less what the political views of the person he picked are as long as they are willing to look at the facts in each case and decide accordingly. But, of the people he is supposedly considering, there are only two who come close. I hope he puts up one of those two. But it is also important to realize that when someone comes to the court they need to be a consensous builder and anybody on the extreme side (liberal or conservative) will not work to acheive that.
Boy do I agree! An insidious trick this administration does is to simply NOT enforce the regulations that are law. They're all about money, and being an environmentalist in the USA is not a money maker (though it could be).SouthernDemocrat said:Bush is literally selling out our National Treasures in his administrations efforts to roll back a century worth of progress in conservation.
His Secretary of the Interior, Gale Norton, is a former mining and property rights lobbyist.
His head of the Forest Service is a former timber industry lobbyist.
These are not the kind of people we want in charge of protecting our national treasures.
he's not already doing that!Shye said:one thing I did not see on the list is trying to make every country a democracy. Not everyone wants to be a democracy. Next you will see him try and convert everyone to christianity.

Despite all the warm and fuzzy rhetoric from the Bush administration's Dept. of Homeland Security... serious issues remain in situ and unaddressed.
Yea true, but we got this pesky little thing in this country called political correctness that keeps both sides from using any damn sense. I mean why anger the middle eastern guy with a check when searching a white grandmother will more likely reveal a box cutter. I just don't get it.
If I lived in another country of purple skinned people and a bunch of white men flew planes into buildings I would expect to be singled out for quite some time by those purple people. Matter of fact if they searched a purple grandmother instead of me I would think them a bunch of dumb asses. But that would be logical. Go figure.
debate_junkie said:Teach.. I agree on the faith based initiatives (and I only capped the name because it begins the sentence)!
If you note I never cap my name even if it begins a sentence. I don't want to appear pretentious. Insensitive,yes. Self aggrandizing, please. Politically incorrect, absolutely. Pez....mmmm...sweet, tasty Pez...loving, goes without saying.France hating, in a second. But pretentious, nah, I don't want people to dislike me after all......
