Bush use's fear, intimidation and retaliation to promote his policies. His coalition of willing was more like the coalition of the threaten and bribe, but I guess if I was offer money in the way loans or my credit line with the US would be reduced if I didn't help then I would be willing to help. He scared us into the war with Iraq using falsified evidence to support his claim that Iraq posed a threat to the American way of life. Now he is using scare tactics to drum up support for his plan to fix Social Security. His plan to fix Iraq did not work neither will his plan to fix Social Security. Iraq is now a hot bed for terrorist and Afghanistan produces more drugs now they it did before the war, and the world is far less safe than is was before the war in Iraq all thanks to George W. Bush. People around the world believe America is a bully. America's prestige as a great nation has fallen all thanks to Mr. Bush. Do you really trust Bush to fix anything, so far on his watch we had Enron, the Energy companies ripping off the American people, 9/11, Afghanistan, Iraq, prisoner abuse, the highest Budget Deficit ever and he has not found Bin Ladden or destroyed Al Qaida. Strong but wrong does not make many friends and threats do not always work, sometimes they backfire. My dad once told me a story about a guy who was threatening to harm this other guy. The guy who was being threaten feared for his life so he got a gun. One day he while was playing pool down at the local pool hall the guy who was making the threats walk in to the pool hall. He was so scared that he shot the guy 5 or 6 times, the guy did not die but he stopped making threats. While Bush is fighting the war in Iraq he has drop the ball on the real terrorists Bin Ladden and Al Qaida, while given the Terrorist, North Korea, Iran and other counties time to arm themselves out of fear they may be next. With our Army and Army Reserve already stretch to the breaking point he may attack Iran, this would leave us vulnerable both at home and aboard. The Bush administration has denied this however Bush left open the Military option so never no and the denial was somewhat suspect "Feds call report on Iran full of holes". They didn't say NO we our not in Iran or No we are not planning to go into Iran, but the report was full of holes. To be full of holes there has to be something there. I don't remember the last time I saw holes in air. What we really need to fear is George W. Bush and his policy before he fixes Social Security and America like he fixed Iraq.
