NEW YORK -- On Tuesday we vote, and the issue, according to most polls, is the performance of President George W. Bush. The president who promised us humility has instead given us humiliation.

It was on Oct. 12, 2000, during his final campaign debate with then-Vice President Al Gore, that Bush attacked nation-building and insistence on doing all things the American way, saying: "I think the United States must be humble in how we treat nations that are figuring out how to chart their own courses."

He also said that night: "I think one way for us being viewed as the Ugly American is for us to go around saying, 'We do it this way and so should you.'"

And: "I am worried about overcommitting our military around the world. I want to be judicious in its use."

1. and when you throw this tasty morsel in the face of a rethug, they counter

with: "Everything changed on 911" :eyes:

They use this as an excuse for everything, from why * has balloned our debt, to why * has grown government more than any other modern president. They use this when you talk about the Geneva Conventions and Posse Comitatus, Warratless wiretapping and the unPATRIOTic Act.

What happened on that day was republicans ended our republic. :cry:
