Mark's Blog

I'm posting more to my friend Mark's blog than I am my own.

The big question I have of Mark and his friends, since they swing so far to the right these days, is why? What makes George W. Bush such a great president that he and his policies are defended so much?

We're in a war we shouldn't be in, gas is a dollar more a gallon than when he took office, we've gone from record surpluses to record deficits, the tax cuts haven't stimulated the economy or created the jobs they thought, and to move toward one party rule where dissent is crushed reminds me of the good old days of the USSR. We're America. Aren't we supposed to be better than all this?

You were on a good rant until you threw in the fear mongering USSR comment at the end. "dissent is crushed"? Dude, those are some damn good drugs you are taking and you should be sharing with your friends! Only in the US can someone give a nationally covered speech to the National Press Club claiming that he's being oppressed. The Republicans are in power for the same reason the democrats controlled Congress for the better part of 30 years...they have been winning elections. As I've said before, the Republicans need a stronger opposition party, since as P.J. O'Rourke said, "The Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work and then they get elected and prove it." The democrats just need to replace Howard Dean, Jesse Jackson and Michael Moore with some responsible adults (say in the JFK mold, who if he's screwing around is doing it with it major sex symbols and not chunky interns in the bathroom) and step up to the plate!
