I think the main problem with this admin is
that no one does any work. All any of them does is attend fundraisers, take vacations, campaign, and hide. The impression I got from Condi's filibuster yesterday was that they didn't do ANYTHING between 1/21/01 and 9/11/01. They haven't caught the Anthrax killer. They haven't caught UBL. They haven't caught the person(s) who committed treason in the Plame case. They haven't caught the person who stole files from the Dems. All they've done is pass a tax cut that's ruined the economy, and funnel a few billion dollars to Halliburton by attacking a country without an army.

Does Bush do any work at all?

2. No, the main problem is the work that they do do.
I WISH they did absolutely *nothing* for four years. No Iraq, no tax cuts, no patriot act, etc.

7. That's exactly it
They (not necessarily Bush* himself) work very hard in furthering their agendas, covering up those agendas from the American people and sabotaging those who dissent.

They aren't lazy. They keep Bush* busy with the fund raising because he is good at it, and his ilk love him. But they love him because his handlers work very hard at furthering their agenda, covering up those agendas from the American people and sabotaging those who dissent.

Sounds like a cycle. Hey, it is!

8. I agree. Thank God, he's lazy.
It's his values that are the problem. Imagine if he had Clinton-level capability and energy with those values. :puke:

3. REMEMBER PRE-911 WHEN BUSH WAS CROWING
about how he is such a good delegator and organizer. The press noted that he worked from 9-5 and took naps. Then he took a month long "working vacation" in the first summer he took office and made a big deal about how family oriented he is and his staff does not need to work late, blah blah, blah. Well, that is what he does - naps and vacations.

4. they can't admit to being wrong
about ANYTHING. Whether its 9/11, Iraq, or tax breaks. Everybody makes mistakes, whether they are the smartest people or not. That these people can't/won't admit to any error is disturbing, but it is more insidious than that. When one is not able to admit to being wrong, one can not LEARN from their mistake. What we have are a bunch of people so righteous and convinced of their divine providence that nothing they can do is wrong. Therefore, instead of changing course when something goes poorly following a decision, they press forward, putting us deeper and deeper into whatever mess is developing. All the while professing to the righteousness and correctness of their decision.

5. It is pathelogical - they lying
They have convinced themselves that their lies are true and they are so accustomed to lying that they really believe - in the recesses of their brains - that they are telling the truth. I think also there is a certain level of arrogance in this administration whereby they believe they are in charge and anyone who questions them is unpatriotic. If they could get away with it, they would probably jail all the dissenters. IF we give these rulers 4 more years, you may be seeing such jails.

6. I think they're already trying
to put away dissenters, or at least chill free speach to such an extent to quell them...all part of the Patriot Act

9. Hey, it takes a lot of work to pass a tax cut, ruin an exonomy, and
...funnel billions to your supportive pals!

They earned every penny!
