Well, first and foremost, my country went to war under unjust and dishonerable intentions - and in the process plunged another country into civil war. (That's kind of a biggie).
My country has gone from record budget surpluses under Clinton to STAGGERING debt under Bush.
My constitutional rights, that the founding fathers fought so hard for are being rapidly eroded away (e.g. the "Patriot Act").
I can't play Party Poker online anymore - because the Republicans (the party of "small government") seem to think they know what's best for me!
My taxes have gone UP while only the super rich's taxes have gone down.
Gasoline prices are so high that many families have to choose between food and being able to drive to work.
And on
And on

Wow Mild how did your taxes go up? You must have gotten a raise or a better job for that to happen. Sorry but we did not go to war under any circumstances other then to rid the world of a potentially very bad threat. What would you have done when shown that there was a very good chance that Saddam had wmd's. He wouldn't cooperate with the U.N. he was a risk that we just couldn't ignore. Hind sight is always 20/20. What rights have you lost under Bush? The economy is in good shape unemployment is at 4.5%. Maybe that's a bit too low. But the Democrats will help to raise it with their increase in the minimum wage. Yes we have a big deficiet but look what's happend the last few years besides the war there were a few bad Hurricanes like Katrina and Andrew and others. The tax cuts have helped the job market the job market has helped to put more money in the government coffers. So that huge deficiet is getting paid back faster then first thought. Taking everything that was dumped into Bush's lap so to speak I think he has and continues to do a pretty good job. I give him a solid B I wish he was tougher on immigration and would have pushed harder to privitize part of social security. All he asked for was a mere 2%. But the Dems are so greedy they couldn't stand the thought of 2% being taken away from what they can borrow. Al Gore and his "locked box" lol what a joke.

I've seen this country in much worse shape. Mr. Bush
has done a good job for US, lowering taxes so we can
keep more of our paycheck. He was not responsible
for gas prices (whether high or low). He has tried to
protect all citizens here by taking on the terrorists who
invaded our nation and killed 3000 innocent citizens.
He would have been scabed if he had done nothing, so
it was heck if he did and more heck if he didn't. Democrats
said when they lost the election that they would be against
everything Bush was for, and they did just that, which is not
a good mark for American politics. They all voted against
every gentleman Bush nominated for the Supreme Court as
they wanted to be the ones to appoint more Liberal candidates.
They had the Media on their side and tried to make Bush look
bad on every newscast. Bush is for our traditional values, so
things have not gotten worse because of Bush, but rather
because of the stubborness and name-calling from the
Democrat side. Look how they've gloated over winning this
last election. Unbecomming behavior.

My life has gotten better under President Bush. The 1000k a child tax credit for working families with kids has helped us a whole lot. The economy is better, because of the tax cuts. We haven't been attacked by terrorists since 911. He's not afraid to stand up, and fight terrorists, so I feel safer... He's a great leader!

I paid off a 30 year mortgage in 5.5 years, so things are going great for me.

I don't know if it is directly to do with Bush, but the cost of college and student loans, and even textbooks, is absolutely out-of-control.
