Please! Is the country in the throws of a depression? Are we in a war anywhere near as messy as Vietnam? Is there civil unrest throughout the country?
Gross misuse of power. Much of what was changed in domestic law rejects the Constitution and legal precedent and was absolutely not necessary for anti-terrorism. His "signing statements" are unconstitutional.
Bush has presided over vast increases in the power, scale and scope of the federal government that would appall any "conservative" who actually believed in limited government.
He has done exactly what the Founding Fathers set up the Constitution to prevent: He has made an executive who is more of a danger to the American people than a foreign enemy would be.
That's the irony, Bush is
EXACTLY what any person who opposes Big Brother would oppose. If he was a Democrat, the Republicans would be screaming bloody murder.
Bush is utterly irresponsible fiscally. I got news for you guys,
George W Bush has not cut your taxes. He has raised your future taxes. He deferred taxes into the future and borrowed money to cover it. So for every dollar W "cut taxes", you will pay more that 1 dollar at some point in the future.
Bush screwed up the war in Afghanistan by de-emphasizing it before it was done. And the Iraq war was stupid, unnecessary, and reckless. He has greatly strengthened Iran while exhausting our own power and accomplished noting that's in our best interest.
His nominees for appointed office mostly belong in prison. His judges mostly belong in the lunatic asylum.
He has done more damage to the long term interest of the US than anyone else with the possible exception of Reagan.
It isn't just the president who is elected this year who will spend all of their term in office (4 or 8 years) trying to repair damage that Bush has done, but at least 2 more presidents will still be working to repair damage of Bush's incompetence.
