I am very political but I am sick of all the petty BS.  The President is the President.  If you don't like him he's out in four years.  We need a government that fixes problems, not fixes blame.

No, the belief systems are too different. New parties might emerge, but I don't think we will have a unified America when it comes to political beliefs.

I'm with you... this is ridiculous... this clown show has gone on long enough and I think America is sick of it... Repubs were still playing the patriotism card in 04 and barely beat Kerry... you don't have enough juice left in that one anymore and it's time to stop hiding behind excuses for your actions...

Yes, you have taken leave of your senses.  Bush is the president of the United States.  He's commander in chief of the most powerful military in the world.  He shouldn't be treated like a normal person because normal people don't have the power to blow up the world several times over.  We can't let him get away with things just to protect is feelings.  If he didn't want the job he wouldn't be president.  It's not really a job you can get without really wanting it.  And the humiliation and ridicule comes with the job.  If he didn't know that going in he also doesn't know how much we hate him.  Besides, he's earned those low approval ratings.  Would you feel bad for a murderer going to jail?  Think about how many deaths Bush is responsible for.  If you ask me, he's getting off easy.

Some things I agree on, others I disagree. Other than that, I don't really care. People in power can try to please everyone, but that rarely works. Plus, I don't think he's that bad. Blame the media for all the negative news since its usually "the juicy stuff is the bad news".

I agree with you there. I too get tired of the crowd blaming The President...he is killing people...mmm do you see him out with a gun doing that? No.\n\nI think if people had to sit in that position they would have a different view on things but of course it is easier to bitch and lay blame than it is to take a course of action and be productive.

Nothing will ever change if we keep reelecting the same lame politicians every election. It's time to send a message, by voting against EVERY incumbent regardless of party affilitation. There is more than enough blame to go around on both sides. Throw the bums out.

Our Country is more divided that I have ever seen it. With the illegal immigration problem now, that divides us even more. The Republicans have instilled all the fear with their politics and methods. The people are growing farther apart everyday because of their party preferences. I am getting real sick of Republicans bashing and being cruel to Americans. It's way out of control, and they are teaching their children to hate people. I think it's really sick and dysfunctional behavior. It's pretty bad when you have a 12 year old saying your trash because you might have voted for President Clinton. It's happening on these pages, right here, everyday now.

Damn good question and point, I wish we could do something about this and all the dirty politics and politicians.  Our whole government needs an ass kickin and a house cleaning.  They are all a bunch of greedy back stabbing bastards, that don't give a crap about the American people and weather or not they are  struggling to make it in life.

I voted for Bush in 2000. I now see how he has totally screwed up this country beyond repair. He has caused more problems for the US to deal with then he ever tried to solve. Not only with the war in Iraq, the war on terrorism but the national deficit, education and too many other areas to mention. But the problem is not Bush alone, it is the complete jackasses in Washington who waste time on petty issues while these world changing events are happening and do nothing to correct these problems because they might upset their constituency and not get re-elected!

I concur, and sadly I don't think we've seen the worst of the wanna be emperor. Bush and the republicans are acting like the azz kicking they got  a month ago at thte polls was an aberration. Bipartisanship and Bush is an oxymoron. He will go down kicking and screaming like the spoiled child that he is.

You got the bull by the horns. He is the worst excuse for a president we have ever had. Repuglicans in general are pond scum, you know one celled animals with no brains.

You have rattled allot of folks in here.My hat off to you.If I had a choice to report the abuse yes I would choose to do so.I know many people are divided in what they choose to believe or not believe,but look at all the horrible things that have happened over the past 6 years.I believe it speaks for itself.When will we as Americans be free of the follies of the government and the Presidents who do not care about their own people.I am not just saying Bush is to blame I am stating he has become one of the many problems we face now.

I'm angry because our political system is horribly broken and people are too busy attacking each other as dirty Libs or filthy Neocons to see this. It needs fixing. I don't have the answers but want to help. And yes, you detect anger. Is the Republican party imploding? Don't know.

Bush is by far the worst president we have ever had. Watergate was spying on the other political patry, while what Bush is doing is spying on the general public, and that is horrible.

Because unfortunately this is what passes for political discourse for many in this country today. It is acceptable to criticize policies which you don't like. It is acceptable to dislike the man if you choose. A poster about above me stated that it is patriotic to criticize, I can accept that, but there is a difference between constructive criticism and absolute slander and many just appear to be unable to separate the two. Do not be deterred by the negative responses you have received here. If you like the President for whatever reason that is your right and speaking out about why you like him is perfectly acceptable. Your opinions are just as valid as any of the detractors. Freedom of speech is a double edged sword, while we may not like the things that are said it is still the right of people to say these things. In a perfect world people would intelligently discuss issues, but alas the world we live in is far from perfect.

I'm not voting for a Republican in 2008.  I don't want a successor to Bush.  To me, this nation doesn't feel like America anymore and to find what is left of it I have to look to the people, not the government.

We have such a man in office right now. Just because you disagree with him politically does not mean it is not so. President Bush has the courage of his convictions and stands up for what he believes in. You may not agree with his positions, but you cannot deny that you know exactly where he stands.
