Do you feel the Bush Administration are abiding with our Governments ETHICS POLICIES?

Not at all, he has his own set of values and ethics, as seen during his campaign, you folks that voted for him ought to be real proud that you did. He also feels that he is above the law as he completely disregards it many times

It's only this present Administration that is allowing the nutcases loose in America right now. The people that rave about how free we are, as long as you allow them to protect you. All I can see and here are these people that are hurting others, and running other races down, to make them feel superior over other people. I personally don't act and feel that way, and I really think it is all very sad. There will be change as America removes the Tyrants from the Government, and replaces them with people with some diplomacy experience.

Both are about values and right and wrong, but ethical usually is more related to professional behavior where morality is more personal.  Government, to me, should act ethically.  When government gets "moral", I feel like they are taking on more personal beliefs.  As a government, I think we need to be ethical about right and wrong, as long as those definitions are universals instead of those related to a scripture.

I think a lot of the reason it seems that the Bush Administration seems to get away with everything is because of the media.  The media doesn't hold their feet to the fire like they would if this was a Democratic Administration.  If President Clinton had done one tenth of what President Bush has done, they would have impeached him and had him out of office years ago.  The Bushies have the media in their back pocket and then claim that the media is too liberal.   It's part of the problem when corporations own media companies.  Look at how they stuck their head in the sand over the Iraq War.  It's a shame, because this President should be held accountable for what he's done.

The Bush Administration has used an interesting method to say one thing and mean another. Like the comments of Bush in his joint statement with the Leader of Austria. Talking about Iran, he boldly states that America is transparent in it's govermental conduct. We all know about NSA Thing, the FISA Court, the Cheney meeting with the heads of the oil companies, the Plame affair including the yellow cake statements made by the President in the STATE OF THE UNION SPEECH  and so forth. \nAnd, can anyone deny that Bush loves a secret any secret, and where I come from, America, secrets are not transparent. So Bush or Tony ShowBusiness may say it, but that doesn't make it true.

I feel very angry about what Bush has done to our reputation around the world.  It is something that really concerns me.  But, and this is a big but, I believe you are wrong about the American people and our government.  The American people ARE the government, in a very real sense.  We elect and we reject.  We are free to speak out and criticize our government and our President if we feel they are screwing up, and thankfully can effect change fairly easily compared to most governments.  You can see from our polls (yes, polls are notorious but when they all agree it's good to pay attention to them) that the majority of the American people do not approve of the job that Bush is doing.  We can support our troops and still be unhappy about the reasons they are there.  \n\nWe will change the tide by voting, it is our most precious freedom, IMO.  Apathy keeps many Americans at home during the mid-term elections, but I feel this time around we will see a big surge at the polls in the Democratic favor.  I have to say, as unhappy as I am with the Bush Administration, I bristled when I read your opening statement.  It just isn't true, we are the sum of all of our parts in this democratic republic.  We will continue to respond harshly to terrorists and their threats, whether our government is headed by a Republican or a Democrat.  Guantanomo Bay?  It's unfortunate and there's house cleaning to be done, but we have a right to detain those who are a threat to our national security.  We learned on 9/11 what it means to remain complacent and have a false sense of security.  We won't make that mistake again.

I'm on the fence about this. I think it was ploted by this administration to insight patriotism in the peaople and as incentive for war. Somewhat like what was done in the 70's. But was it Bush's idea? No he isn't smart enough. It had to be someone higher up like his father or the Freemasons. I know I may sound crazy but its just my opinion. \n\nHey I might be wrong and Bush is probably the best president we've had in years. \n*bursts out laughing*

I think George Bush and this administration will be in the Civics Books right next to Richard Nixon. The politics are very similar with Watergate, and the Patriot act. Both are spying on Americans. Hopefully when Congress changes Bush will be impeached and tried for treason to the American people. It would be a great day for America, and Democracy. Standing up for the Bill of Rights of the people is what patriotism is all about.

I dont think well ever know exactly what our governemnt is doing, but with good watchdog organizations out there helping to keep an eye on them it is helping some. I wish there was a way to know more. There is too much secret shenanigans going on in our government that we dont know about untill the damage is done.

Fishy, yes.  Also inevitable.  Oversight and accountability are clearly not tolerated by this administration.  The guy should have known better than to actually do his job!

Yes..you hit the nail right on the head..I can tell you from an "outside" perspective that is exactly what the world sees..it is a shame that trusted governments can hurt their own people so much..Freedoms are being lost daily in the USA..Bush has been a very destructive man..not just to the U.S. but the suffering he has caused throughout the world is appalling. I hope the American people can stop it before it is too late...The blind and shallow-minded will disagree.

Unfortunately, the current administration is adept at using labels to disguise the real intent of laws and other actions. For example, the "Clean Air Act" actually encouraged more pollution that before. The Patriot Act encourages violations of our constitution and a strengthening of the executive branch. Some aspects are worthwhile, but the name makes it difficult to object to its details without being called unpatriotic. Sad to see the stifling of legitimate criticism. \nAs far as a better title, perhaps the Surveillance Act?

Hehehehe, no kidding.  Guess it's pretty obvious that he's only concerned about the integrity of our President when he's being paid to care.  \nThanks for bringing it up.  There's so many jerks representin' in DC that I forget those who aren't currently in the spotlight.\n\n\nP.S.  Calling the behavior of the whitehouse regarding 9/11 and Iraq "intelligence failures" is being kind.   The oval office LET the towers fall.  They allowed all those people to die.  And to use such a terrible event as a launching pad to blow the crap out of ANOTHER mideast country is just more salt on the wound.  It's disgraceful.

No. He has abused his power. He has lied to the people he is supposed to serve. He is self-serving and supports big business while cutting assistance to those who need it most. Jobs are being outsourced at an astounding rate under his administration. When he took office there was a budget suplus, now we have enormous deficit. He talks about keeping our nation safe while allowing illegal immigrants to enter the nation at thousands per day. He has burdened our education system with his ineffective "no child left behind" without providing the funding to support it. He has taken us to war against another country with faulty intelligence (which, of course, he was well aware). Many in his administration are corrupt and unethical. He apoints people that are not qualified for their positions. (And people call these the actions of a Christian? Not in my book.)\n\nDo I think he's a good president? I think he's the worst President we've had in my lifetime, and I've been around for awhile. Unfortunately, he will remain the President long enough to do more damage.
