The List

Ways Bush has done wrong (this list WILL REMAIN constantly under revision until Bush is out)
a conservative estimate for a neo-really does/can he understand any philosophy deeply-conservative man.

Torture
it seems like this would be an easy on. A Christian man, who deeply loves freedom and the values it endears in people, and promotes democracy around the earth would not permit torture.

Yet, look to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. It is as though when faced with a war the laws and principles that are lauded and claimed to be worthy of protection by pre-emptive action are routinely dismissed as unnecessary and unworthy of consideration by elites in power.
only right is a right to life


The Iraq War
Again another misleading/stretch of the truth by Bush and his handlers.
There is a Civil War going on no matter what Washington calls it or denies to the American public. Violence, instability, and inflamed anti-US sentiment around the world due to imperial aggression and the hubris bred by a leader's lack of critical thinking skill.

Economy
Like most things, Bush has tried to copy Reagan's budget policy from the 1980's. Expanding and growing the Defense budget while aggressively cutting funds to social programs and other things government spends far less money on (combined) than the Pentagon (alone). Now it would be wise here to consider the good economic news that the Bush economy has generated.
Yet, not ignore the bloating of the federal budget by a REPUBLICAN CONGRESS and a pressumably like-minded executive.
And, if one were so-inclined and had the time to consider more, perhaps the question of the cyclical nature of where spending increases have come during both Bush and Reagan's White Houses.
IN other words: Why are the poor -primarily brown-skinned among US squeezed in a crushing way by the same iron hand that coddles the defense industry or business of war.

And where does manipulating the public with fear of an outside danger come in the moral-ethical scheme of proper politics?


Lying...
about Leaks (or just playing with language to assert further executive power and less check and balance from the other branches of power inching ever closer to the end 3 equally balanced branches of government). Sheepishly trying to claim some sort of consistency while ignoring the record of his comments; Bush makes the people who voted for him, and even more so the people who continue to defend him seem absent minded.

beyond loyalty
partisan politics
reason and morals/ethics

Another story of secrets held from the American public. Removing truth from the record is a dangerous game to play when you dont even know a game is going being played.


Also sometimes it can be the things you dont say that make you dishonest too.

When does the honest republican/conservative end the ignorance of bliss and call to account the actions of lost conservatism, dishonesty of a simple minded leader, and the abuses of democratic institutions to embolden empire?

It gets to this point where when I read:

Iran is producing enriched uranium from 164 centrifuges, influential former Iranian President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani told Kuwait's KUNA news agency on Tuesday.
(reuters)

Should I really believe this is not the new Chilabi saying untrue things so that Exxon or some dirty with oil fundamentalist government can stay in control of government in a nation deemed friendly by the Bush family government? Is this not all just too much to swallow. When was Iran a threat to the homeland security, why continue to pick fights in a region we are not really winning in yet? Is this even good strategy for the maintenance of empire?

The eggregious encroachments on privacy
some that have been victems of terrorism have said something different to their government.



the last time America was this divided it was not this de tach ed.

Despite the rage of mine and others at American foreign policy and its disaterous effects, currently mobilization of people across the country on the issue of immigration reform is making a deeper impact.
This despite Bush's next biggest mistake looming over the horizon. (Fox News counter-story)
