I've been thinking about this a lot lately. Bush has been a good President, and a fine leader. But there have been so many missed opportunites, so many things left undone, so many mistakes, and veering off the right side of the road.

I am mainly a single-issue voter since 9/11. To me, everything comes after WINNING THE WAR. The deficit? Spend what we need to win. Expansion of government power? Don't hamstring our ability to catch Bad Guys.

I want a hard-ass CONSERVATIVE as Cheif Executive, but honestly, I'd vote for Hillary if I thought she'd be the one to take us to victory over Terror quicker than anybody else. (Yeah, I KNOW she wouldn't. I was being whimsical. )

So, fellow conservatives*, tell me what chaps yer cheeks about Dubya.

I'll start with this:

EXTREMELY weak efforts on the PR and Information Operations fronts of the War on Terror. Stop whining about the MSM soft-mouthing our excellent progress in Iraq and accept that this is ALWAYS what they're going to do, and go on offense! Night-and-day full-court-press of the Iraq issue, and start calling out the liars and apologists when they spin our efforts or try to convince the American people that we're losing. JUST ONCE, I'd like to see the President call out the CNN correspondent in a news conference and tell him his network is a bunch of liars, and then prove it.

He could do more to win this war where it counts the most: between people's ears, and behind their eyes.









*Oh, Lefties need not play. I could give a dam' what Y'ALL don't like about Chimpy Bushitlerburton.
