Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

[sarals]

Does Bush favor his "rich and powerful" backers any more than clinton did?? Hardly - at least he does not use the Lincoln bedroom as a Motel 6 and take money for pardons, yet I have heard no outcry from you about clinton. Why?? - I suspect because many of clinton's policies agree with your personal ideology.

The thing with Clinton was personal IMO, although I didn't like that he later lied about it, that was worse than the act. But I'd rather have that than a president in bed with the likes of Enron and Halliburton.

Actually, I'd prefer to compare Bush with Teddy Roosevelt. Teddy was a Republican and a conservative also and I hirely admire the man, for his principles and his ability to fight for what was right regardless of any special interest. He was a man that was not owned by anyone. He promoted environmental issues, handled foreign affairs with finess, yet promoted a strong America. There was a great President.
