Well, George Bush has finally managed to trash the Reagan legacy and to
deliver the reigns of this Nation into the hands of the extreme left. He did
so by emphatically showing he does not believe in opinion polls, yet failing
just as convincingly, to show those who supported him, what is it that he believes in?
George Bush could have been the President of alternative fuel but he elected
to be the President of free prescription drugs. Bush could have been the
President of an American gone nuclear with new, safe and, clean power
generating technologies, but he elected to be the president over a Korea
going nuclear. Bush promised to keep us safe by projecting to the world America's
resolute power but show us to be weak by refusing to mobilize the country to
pursue alternative sources of energy. He could have been the President of
new oil exploration; but he apparently considered more important be a good
friend to Saudi Arabia and Exxon.
Bush could have been the President of strict constructionists in the Supreme
Court but instead he offered us Harriet Miers. As President he developed a
problem of credibility not with those who for six years have accused him of
lying and stealing the election (twice) but with the those who drove him into 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
It took a right wing full fledge rebellion for the President to withdraw a Supreme Court nominee whose main qualifications seemed being his friend. But worse; with his actions, the President fractured the tenuous alliance of evangelicals, Neo-Cons and Country Club Republicans.
By failing to veto pork projects and not punishing the band of 14 for their attempt to run the war and the country he turned Congress into the Oakland Raiders; not a team willing to win but a collection of talent looking for individual stats.
September 11th, showed us how poor, fragmented and inept our intelligence was. The President could, and ought to, have mobilized the country to reform our intelligence and security services. He could have launched a national movement to attract the best and the brightest to serve in the kind of clandestine force required by the strategic demands of the GWT. The President could have established the National Intelligence University designated after Annapolis and West Point and offer scholarships to Americans willing to study data collection and foreign language. He could have open a national debate on the past policies that had emasculated our intelligence services, for the enhancement of the role of human assets, and to clarify the purpose, scope and value of interrogations by holding hearings in Congress to challenge Democrats to come up with solutions. But instead, he elected to pursue backroom deals, gave medals to George Tenet, allowed for Potter Goss to be turned ineffective and ended up granting Geneva Convention Rights to enemy combatants.
George Bush "stayed the course" but didn't punish Sunnis for dismembering and burning American civilian contractors in Fallujah and allowed the Madhi army to grow to a point where it has become an instrument of Iran to control the World's oil supply. The Republican Congress even failed to declare war or identify an enemy. Terror is not an enemy but a tactic.
Even under the threat of a suitcase nuke or a dirty bomb our borders remain as bare and
exposed as a full nude stripper. The White House has signaled the Democrat's victory as an opportunity to implement the dreaded "guest worker program," a code word for amnesty to illegals. Henceforth, we finally discover what is it the 'common ground' of Bush and the Democrats; their willingness to dismiss and betray nationalist conservatives, to do whatever in their power to depress American wages, create new entitlements and, expand the class of citizens lacking personal initiative who are totally dependant on government spending. Instead of competing for the world's brightest America now competes for the world's most desperate.
Nov 7th choreographed disaster was a referendum on the Iraq war but only because the President failed to offer anything other than the war.
On fiscal policy; the President did not pursue a policy to balance the budget. He continued to allow the Chinese to create an enormous misbalance of trade while stealing our intellectual property and even attempted to outsource the operation of our ports in a time of war.
On Education, while so many minority ridden school districts continue to
fail, the President and the Republican Congress not only failed to pursue legislation to link
federal funding only for those districts that demand teacher's competency, accountability and, parent involvement. But, in addition the Republican Congress failed to pursue tax brakes for parents investing in their children education, or even not to penalize parents being forced to send their kids to private schools because of the dismal failure of the public schools system.
Now, don't we all think that the "religious right" would not have been properly re-paid by granting special tax breaks fo parents who home-school their children or, send them to parrochial schools? Why do you think Republicans did nothing?
When Democrats were given an opportunity to run the country in the midst of
the Depression they pursued policies that granted them a wide public base and forty years of undisputed hegemony.
In just twelve years Republicans have created among their electorate a perception of corruption, increased their lack of credibility, and rise suspicions on their capacity to
govern.
Finally, because George Bush elected Dick Cheney to be Vice-President the Republicans seem to have no popular leaders for the next election. Barring the appearance of a new Ronald Reagan the Republican Party is facing a long dark night. But worst still, is the fate of all who see the USA as their only hope. Independently of the label they may want to give themselves (Republicans or Democrats) the UN Globalist party seem to be the one entrenched in power.
Just like his father did in 1993, George Bush has insured the fragmentation and division of the right for the next election.
