You still gotta put up with him for more than a year, vetoing this, soundbiting that and 'staying the course'. Commiserations.

I think it took about a year to realize that Carter was incompetent and ineffective.  It took even less time to discover the same about Bush for most people.  It's good to see that the party loyal is finally catching up to this reality.

It was hard to vote for either candidate when they both have their own words to describe their campaigns. You either had "strategery" or "lock box." Seriously, that probably didn't help them with the casual, idiot voters.

Dude, Social Security has been a wash for the last few decades.  I wish I could blame that on Bush, but seriously, it's the result of bipartisan corruption and incompetence.

It wasn't a wash 15  years ago when my father died and my mom used it for a time to help feed me and and my siblings.

I was referring more to the fact that Clinton and his Republicans colleagues in congress managed to somewhat straighten out our budget.  that went out the window with Jr, long before 9/11 and the need for terror cash.

This is one way that fucktard got your surplus; by not funding the national parks let alone the military. Clinton can kiss my ass.

Now the party loyal are officially turning on him. The thread title is a quote from Newt Gingrich, and when he compares a sitting republican president to Carter you know somethings amiss;

Disillusionment with the Administration has become widespread among the conservatives who once were Bush’s strongest supporters. Mickey Edwards, a former Republican congressman from Oklahoma, said recently, “The Republican Administration has shown itself to be completely incompetent to the point that, of Republicans in Iowa, fifty-two per cent thought we should be out of Iraq in six months.” Edwards, who left Congress in 1993 and now teaches at Princeton, is helping to lead an effort among some conservatives to curtail the President’s power in such areas as warrantless wiretapping. “This Administration is beyond the pale in terms of arrogance and incompetence,” he said. “This guy thinks he’s a monarch, and that’s scary as hell.” The grievances against the Administration seem limitless. Many congressional Republicans, for instance, were upset that Bush waited to fire Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld until after the midterm elections.

Troops needing food stamps IS a mistake.

Damn straight it is...  but that's not why we see things like that -- it's because we spend way too much on bureaucracy and not enough on our soldiers.  When you look at the absurdly high salaries of the upper echelon of the military, it becomes quite apparent that money isn't the issue.  It's the distribution of funds.
