Hear! Hear!

I'm a diehard conservative Republican, and I have to agree with
everything that you've said, except for the fact that the Bush who
"blew the whole wad" was the
Bush that preceded Clinton, not the Bush that followed him.

The jury is still out of the Bush that followed...

With respect to George W., his weakest point is his cabinet. Some
people have voiced that it is the worst collection of characters to be
brought together in one place since The Third Reich!

I hold a great respect for secretary of defense Donald H. Rumsfeld,
but as far as the rest of that team goes, they had better resign if
George W. wants a second term, and John Ashcroft's resignation should
head the list followed by that of Tom Ridge!
