here goes -

1) i like the fact that bush, to this point, refuses to tuck tail and run from iraq because the going is rough. YES - i believe we need a better exit strategy. i have a little personal knowledge about being in the military when your president pulls out of a conflict after not giving the troops full support and the order to go win.

2) i like the fact that bush, doesn't bow to the UN. the UN is simply a tool - it is not a force that we should allow to govern our actions in ways that are counter to our interests. YES - you've guessed it, i'm not a globalist.

3) i like the fact that bush didn't back down when historical allies (france and germany) shouted him down. i believe that bush understands that those nations are (understandably, from their view) trying to re-assert european thought as the center of the world. (bad grammar but you know what i mean)

4) i like the fact that bush has lowered MY taxes. which believe it or not did put a little extra cash in people's hands. in my business, i actually saw a surge in spending at around the same thing. bush was not the reason for the economic collapse, just like he wasn't the sole reason for the recovery. just as clinton was not the reason that the economy surged in the late 90's. the economy is cyclical. it happens whether you like it or not. it has very little to do with which party is in power.

and to be fair

5) i despise his immigration policy. i don't see any "unfillable" jobs laying vacant in america. at least not while we are also paying other american's unemployment. this was simply a move to pander to the hispanic vote.

6) social security and medicare are failing - let's make them bigger entitlements... WTF???
