I’ll definitely agree with you that most of the "left" got all their information from Faenheit 911 and that many’s opinion’s were formed from emotion than any sort of political/big picture understanding... However, any President that resorts to the big lie, who alienates 1/2 of America in his campaign, who is the first one to have a net loss of jobs in his administration since Hoover and tells America we’re cretaing jobs, who takes us to war without a plan to get out (something 90% of fifth graders knew was the reason you don’t invade Iraq, not because they’re somehow a worthy adversary like Russia was), who has borrowed so much money from the Social Security fund (which is like the government’s bank) that he now has to come up with some "privatizing" solution so there’s a snowball’s chance I’ll see any of the 1/4 of my salary I pay every month again, who has done nothing towards a worthwhile solution for the Health Care situation, and who’s administration let terrorists bomb the World Trade Center (it’s not like it was a shock, or we even had to wonder who did it) and yet no one gets fired, who trades civil liberties so easily for temporary fixes, and who has the most negative campaign since the 1800’s yet trumpets a higher "morality"... any president who’s done this in one administration does not get my respect. Am I wrong? Please elaborate the good that W’s done for the nation, apart from letting only one major terrorist incident occur?

Is this the end now that he’s been reelected? Of course not. We’ve had worse presidents (not many, but Pierce?). We’ll get thru this and we’ll have some lessons learned for down the road. But Republican’s have been especially aloof in recent years. Personally I think all Pub’s like the big lie. We’re not in Cambodia, Reagan was a great president, W’s a strong leader. A strong leader doesn’t divide the nation to get elected. Here’s to hoping I’m just a knee jerk who’s wrong and here’s to the next four years.
