Last night, as I was watching the returns come in from New Hampshire and seeing my candidate win a decisive victory that all but ensures him the nomination (no one seeking his party's nomiation has not gone onto the presidential race after winning both Iowa and New Hampshire since '52), I was struck by this recurring thought that I've been having ever since the current administration took office. I want someone, anyone to defend the record and the actions of George W. Bush.

I know there are not that many intelligent conservatives out there, so I'll even give you a little help and present the topics for defense of your man. Let's hear from you on these topics:

Education Policy
Environment Policy
Energy Policy
Fiscal Policy
Tax Policy
The Value of the Dollar
Immigration Policy
Foreign Affairs
Corporate Malfeasance
Separation of Church and State
Partisanship/Elevating the Debate in Washington
Work Ethic/Vacation Time

I don't even want to hear from you about the "War". It's such a blunder and so badly handled that it can't be defended. It's so obvious that the WMD scare was just a avenue into the Iraqi resources. Now that Bush is moving away from the WMD issue and into something along the lines of, well, the world is safer and the Iraqi people are better off, he looks about as Machiavellian as one could manage. If the administration were truly honest about it's intentions to a) make the world safer and b) improve the lives of the Iraqi people, Bush could have a) mentioned that as a motive before prosecuting the war b) bared any lucrative contracts to American companies, especially Halliburton (come on, who are they kidding here?) and c) looked after the interests of the people of Congo and Zimbabwe and other countries where ruthless dictators are suppressing the human rights of their people.

It's no wonder everyone hates us.

Another quick note to you republicans in advance of the preparation of your defense. Please don't fall into the trap of other conservatives I have talked to or heard on the radio. Don't say, but Clinton this, and Clinton that. This isn't about Clinton. This isn't even about conservative or liberal nor Republican or Democrat. This is about one president who should have come into the White House with a mantle of humilty and bipartisanship and has instead run roughshod over America and the rest of the world. Go on, then. Defend him. Please. Do it now.
