Bush is still sinking (31%) now. Why one must ask? When Bush ran as a man of principles and honesty as a platform little did we know that it is only a lie if he says it is a lie.
Illegal wire tapping is like illegal immigrant, it is illegal. Bush does not get it. A supposed man of principles that carelessly breaks the law has no credibility. Bush being the champion of the Republican conservative right makes me proud to be called a liberal, hippie, socialist, communist or any other such labels that republicans throw out to try and win their case when facts and common sense do not work.
Bush's record of fighting terrorists is abysmal. He is not fighting them on their soil, he is creating more of them whose only objective is to kill the infidels. Afghanistan is slinking back into turmoil( did not all the Taliban get killed?), Iraq is on the verge of civil war, and Iran wants to be a superpower whose intent is to destroy the West. Without support from his own people, without afore mentioned credibility Bush is powerless to deal with any problem. As a nation we can only hope that our next President has the respect, honesty and dignity to lead our nation thru these problems. Those qualities will be necessary to lead the world to acceptable, comprehensive solutions.

The correct answers:
Republican, liberal, cut taxes and government, streamline social security, defend democracies against terrorists and totalitarians, evolution, pro-choice with late trimester restrictions, and freedom of religion.
Concerning wiretapping, I respect what John Schmidt, Clinton's Associate Attorney General, had to say about the subject. I supported the man in the primaries when he ran for governor in 1998. The Gateway Pundit explains: The President's Legal Wiretapping
Retreating from terror, like when Murtha convinced Clinton to surrender to Mohammed Farrah Aidid in 1993, only emboldens terrorists. If the Khobar Towers, Nairobi and Dar es Saalam, and the USS Cole don't convince you, take Osama bin Laden's word for it.

"We experienced the Americans through our brothers who went into combat against them in Somalia, for example. We found they had no power worthy of mention. There was a huge aura over America -- the United States -- that terrified people even before they entered combat. Our brothers who were here in Afghanistan tested them, and together with some of the mujahedeen in Somalia, God granted them victory. America exited dragging its tails in failure, defeat, and ruin, caring for nothing.
America left faster than anyone expected. It forgot all that tremendous media fanfare about the new world order, that it is the master of that order, and that it does whatever it wants. It forgot all of these propositions, gathered up its army, and withdrew in defeat, thanks be to God. We experienced combat against the Russians for 10 years, from 1979 to 1989, thanks be to God. Then we continued against the communists in Afghanistan. Today, we're at the end of our second week. There is no comparison between the two battles, between this group and that. We pray to God to give us his support and to make America ever more reluctant. God is capable of that.

Yes, retreat and surrender encourages the terrorists. Here's bin Laden's 1996 fatwa:
-------------------
Few days ago the news agencies had reported that the Defence Secretary of the Crusading Americans had said that ‘the explosion at Riyadh and Al-Khobar had taught him one lesson: that is not to withdraw when attacked by coward terrorists.’
“We say to the Defence Secretary that his talk can induce a grieving mother to laughter! and shows the fears that had enshrined you all. Where was this false courage of yours when the explosion in Beirut took place on 1983 AD (1403 A.H). You were turned into scattered pits and pieces at that time; 241 mainly marines solders were killed. And where was this courage of yours when two explosions made you to leave Aden in lees than twenty four hours!
“But your most disgraceful case was in Somalia; where- after vigorous propaganda about the power of the USA and its post cold war leadership of the new world order- you moved tens of thousands of international force, including twenty eight thousands American solders into Somalia. However, when tens of your solders were killed in minor battles and one American Pilot was dragged in the streets of Mogadishu you left the area carrying disappointment, humiliation, defeat and your dead with you. Clinton appeared in front of the whole world threatening and promising revenge, but these threats were merely a preparation for withdrawal. You have been disgraced by Allah and you withdrew; the extent of your impotence and weaknesses became very clear. It was a pleasure for the ‘heart’ of every Muslim and a remedy to the ‘chests’ of believing nations to see you defeated in the three Islamic cities of Beirut, Aden and Mogadishu.”

Admit it you are scared.
Bummer.
Our military is much weaker now since Bush took over. Bush can beat his chest and throw out threats but with such a weak military they mean nothing. In fact Iran knows this and is "pushing" us around. Talk is cheap. Bush can only talk because of his mistakes and his weakening of the military.
You're right. I'm scared the Democrats are going to give the terrorists *everything* they want, which will encourage attacks, as we saw in the 1990s.
I can feel the 'Gaius Baltar for President' (the name doesn't matter, the ideas are the same) campaign already.
So what did the Republicans give the terrorists before 911? Did they realize that dubya was so stupid that he could not figure out that they were going to attack?
Did he know and was paralyzed like when he was told? The info is out there now that they knew about the flight training 1 month before the attacks and that traffic was high that something "big" was going to happen soon. OOPS I forgot, dubya was on vacation at his ranch. Security of our nation was subrogated by a need to relax. With this administration in charge we all should be scared.
Now that the government has all of your phone records, you have friends that are foreign nationals, with a possibility that one of their friends friends has an acquaintance that has ties to el qawda you may be arrested with no charges filed and held without any court approval. That is what you have given up by supporting this administration. Do not bend over!
