bush isn't running for office...he IS in office and he owes the american people and the rest of the world a lot more face time to answer questions about what he is doing about the global crisis he helped cause
Again...no mention about the dems shooting-down the bill McCain co-sponsored. (by not bringing it to the floor for a vote) You don't seem interested in accuracy, so here's a recap of the bill:

The hate is really spewing forth from these posts.
I'd rather cheerlead for those policies I deem important, than blindly follow a false prophet to the edges of Chicago. Parroting the blogs, avoiding intelligent discourse with blind attacks, inuendo and as you put it...hate.
