George W. Bush rules!

You may not agree with George W. Bush, but you have to admit he's man enough to stand up for what he believes and defend it, rather than merely playing to the crowd he's entertaining, lying and contradicting himself all the way.

You blame Pres. Bush for the economy, lack of jobs and for problems in education. The problems in your argument are that first, the President has very little control over the economy -- talk to Alan Greenspan about that.

Second, the President cannot create jobs. If he could, he would give the unemployed jobs. But he doesn't have the power to just up and create jobs. All he can do is hope to do something to stimulate the economy, and he has.

So how, exactly, is another candidate going to 'create' jobs? Third, Bush made a huge push for education . It's not his fault that states like Utah turn the program down, along with the money that goes with it.

My last problem with your argument is the tax thing. Liberals complained when George H.W. Bush raised taxes. Now you're complaining that George W. Bush is lowering them. Hmmm ... seems a little contradictory to me. But then again, so do most liberals.
