Mr. Eldar, I don't think that you would be happy with Ron Paul. A libertarian is ideologically opposed to paying for your medications from the treasury. Chris would not be happy either. Paul would have let Chrysler sink 30 years ago and would not not have imposed "voluntary" quotas on Japanese imports.
Now to kick a dead horse. GWB won the popular vote (that means he got the most) in Florida and subsequently won the most votes through the electoral college. That is the way presidents are elected in the US. You can read all about it in the U.S. Constitution. GWB was not the first to win the White House without the popular vote, nor will he be the last. Did you know that the Dems STOLE the Illinois vote in 1960 and got JFK in? Tricky Dick was encouraged to fight in the courts, he felt that a fight would do more harm to the country than good. I'm no fan of RMN, but I do like to tweak noses. I remember my parents voting for him because George McGovern was the alternative.
The economy is doing well. It has weathered the WTC attack, two vicious hurricanes, a war, Republicans looting the treasury, and crude oil prices that are triple what they were 10 years ago. GWB's contribution was to cut tax rates. People who didn't pay income taxes still don't pay income taxes, and people who pay lots are paying at a lesser rate. Perhaps you think they should pay at a higher rate? Now if we could just control the spending. . .
Michigan may not be doing so well, and I will guess that is because of the ailing domestic automotive industry. How is GWB to fault for that? The American consumer has chosen the competition over GM, Ford, and Chrysler. It has been happening for several years. Nissan has a big hand in thriving Middle Tennessee, and the Saturn plant just a county away is having serious trouble. For generations Michigan was a place to find work, and southerners migrated north. Now the migration is from the rust belt to the sun belt. That is life.
Valerie Plame's career is not ruined. She hasn't lost her job. With her looks and story, she could make a fortune outside of the CIA. However, if her employment by the CIA was classified, it should have remained so. That is the only issue here. Federal law was broken, and the offender should be dealt with. Scooter Libby is ruined, but for another crime, although GWB spared him the jail time. Still no one has been tried for the leak.
I would continue, but my interest wanes.
