Bush has hardly "kept us safe". He hasn't even made any attempt WHATSOEVER to regulate the flow of illegal immigrants over our borders north and south. There was no procedures set in place to aid the barely 2% of traffic in our ports that gets searched, and I like their excuse, it's "too expensive". Of course dumping billions and billions a month into Iraq isn't somehow. This is even knowing how much absolute waste is going on over there. I saw a few very small examples of it while there, and have some even grander examples in my sig.
Sorry, I just don't buy the whole "Bush has kept us safe" BS. There weren't any attacks between 1993 and 2001, so I guess, after the first WTC attacks, Clinton kept us pretty safe huh? Personally, I think he failed big time since he was handed Osama on a silver platter, but didn't take it. Of course Carter must have REALLY kept us safe because hell, there weren't ANY terrorist attacks on US soil when he was president.
I have said it before, you probably weren't here then, so I'll reiterate. If this administration had made consistant progress across the board, as in actually physically securing America, or at least even ATTEMPTING to, and hadn't run the beginning of the war under such a load of changing BS, I would support it more. I don't like the neocon agenda, I don't like the globalist agenda, or the interventionalist agenda, but I hate the beating around the bush, no pun intended.
As far as having my newspapers censored, that's debatable. You get the same story with a different bias depending on the source, very little news today seems to me to be objective. Living in Germany during the beginning of the war, I got to see a lot of that, watching AFN and then watching the German news, it is night and day. Kind of like Faux news clinging to Giuliani, and not reporting anything, as much as completely removing Ron Pauls name from polls, where he beats Giuliani, it's disgusting.
