WTF?!?!?!? NBC sez
Bush "largely delivered" on his 2000 campaign promises about tax cuts, education and prescription drugs. Huh?

3. OK
He said he'd move through legislation on all those issues, and it has happened.

Nevermind that the tax cuts only benefit the very wealthiest, the education initiatives are underfunded and the persciption drug benefit is a morbid joke.

And remember, every day is opposite day in 2004 America.

10. Did he promise to kill a thousand servicemen too?
He's largely delivered on that one too.

Who was it that said that? What a godawful distortion. No Child Left Behind unfunded; he had to lie to Congress to get the Rx coverage passed, and now it's a complete mess; and those tax cuts...don't me started.

11. Welcome to world of make believe media.
"A uniter, not a devider."
"Not a nation builder."
Iraq is contained - no need for invasion.
"Bring respect and integrity to the White house."
Be "Compassionate Conservative."
Gays Marrage is for "The states to decide."

13. "Keeping Promises" is not the yardstick of a good presidency
That always burns me up. The notion that somebody did a good job just because they fulfilled campaign promises. Never mind if the promised policies are good ideas or not, we should give him a pat in the back simply because he did what he said he would do.

Adolf Hitler kept most of his campaign promises to ignore the Versailles treaty, rebulid the German military and economy and solve the problem of the "Jewish Question". Does that make him a good leader?

15. Did he promise to preside over the loss of 3 million jobs?
I wouldn't go around bragging about that.

17. Yeah, that was strange
No Child Left Behind an unfunded mess, his prescription drug program fails to help many seniors. That leaves the tax cut, the only real domestic priority besides reelection--and that was merely a sucky idea.

And nobody points out that the reasons he didn't keep any of his other promises was because THEY WERE TOO STUPID FOR PRIME TIME.

20. Yeah--so we got a tax cut.
I got approximately $3000 and guess what I did? I sent it back. And I urged my friends and family to do the same.

I don't need a damn tax cut!

I need the money to be spent on a better government for all people.
