Leave it to libs to blow this story out of proportion. The GOP Governors still support W, none said that they didn't. I think this reporter was trying to make a bigger story out of what was said. A gov. voicing his opinion and saying "I don't think he was well served on the issue" doesn't mean at all that he has lost faith in Bush. It doesn't have any hidden meaning, and it's not implying any desperate scramble for support. It means what it means- "I don't think he was well served on the issue". CNN, NY Times, USA Today will always try to put words in the GOP's mouths, and try to blow a story up into something it's not.

I am trying to fine out something Wya is doing to make America better thanhe found it.
Free trade is killing us.
A drug plan no one wants.
Arabs running our ports.
Cutting funding for National guard.
As a buisness owner and a republican I have lost all faith In this nitwit running things.
I am hoping his apointments to theS.C.turn out better than some of his others.
How about actually attempting to fix Social Security (something the opposite party refuses to touch)?
How about restoring honor and integrity to an office that had had it stripped by the previous administration?
Doing what is within a president's power to do to reduce abortions (I realize this can be a good thing or terrible thing depending upon your stance on the issue, but for me and millions of others it is a good thing)?
Education? NCLB has done more to improve public education, despite its weaknesses, than anything the anti-Bush crowd has dreamed up.
How about trying to ease our dependence on Middle Eastern oil, however small that might be, by supporting drilling in the ANWR?
How about helping us refute the silly rest-of-the-world efforts to penalize America for our "contributions" to global warming by rejecting the Kyoto Treaty?
There is plenty that Bush does that I strongly disagree with. To say that he is doing nothing right is a pretty good shot off-base, IMHO.
Arabs running our ports? If that's the worst thing you can find to complain about, he must be doing a good job. Our Arabian friends in UAE running the cranes and fork lifts as opposed to our British friends in Great Britain? Heaven forbid . . .

This is what I'm looking for some positives.
Not what I would call strong leader ship though.
Nothing done with s.s. but adding a drug plan.
I've seen nothing done to end abortion on demand.
And not getting hummers in the oval office is not a bragging point.
But my ears are open.
If he doesn't wake up we are looking at the Hillda beast!

Point taken. However, I'm not sure what he can do in that regard. The highest court in the land says that abortion on demand is the law of the land, and there is little that the president can do in that regard. He has, however, signed the partial-birth abortion ban into law (something that Clinton twice refused to do) after it was passed by the Republican congress, and cut off foreign funding for abortions. He signed the Laci and Conner's Law (again, after it was passed by the Republican congress), which basically emphasizes the rights of the unborn, and he supported legislation that would prohibit a minor being taken across state lines by an adult for an abortion to get around parent-notification laws.
His appointees to the Supreme Court could ultimately be his biggest legacy where abortion is concerned, but the jury is obviously still out on that one. Regardless, I'm satisfied with the attention Bush has given to the pro-life effort.

Agreed. Integrity in the Oval Office is nothing to brag about, but should be expected. However, the fact remains that the integrity of the office was darn near destroyed by Clinton. Bush, on the other hand, has not only handled the responsibilities of the office with the integrity that we all demand (the unsubstantiated liberal claims of his untruthfulness and ruthlessness aside) and has worn his faith on his sleeve, making God a central part of his administration. The latter might not be important, or might even be a negative, to some. But for me, and many conservative Christians who helped elect him, it is important. Democrats would tell us that Bush only puts on a hypocritical Christian front to try and fool voters, but - again - those claims have yet to be substantiated with any kind of proof.
Now don't get me wrong . . . There is plenty about Bush that I DON'T like. But he isn't a terrible president. Not by a long shot.

This is like a broken record. Any percieved positives that are given, you blow them off. You, and Ifferd, and JohnnyB, all just want far left in office. Don't matter what they think, reasons some of feel we do, as long as you pull the big D handle.
There's alot of things I don't like about the president. But alot I do. Did you like it when the the other administration was doing all they could to restrict your guns, having luncheons with handgun control extremist? This guy hasn't bothered us.
I beleive if we knew half the terrorist plots that have been foiled, we would be scared to death. I work beside the big Three letter organizations, and know alot of people inside, they don't tell me anything they are not supposed too. And they can't and I don't ask. But do let me know we are lucky to have someone proactive in office on terror.One was my old boss, who was aCaptain for Naval Intelligence.
All I hear from staunch Dems is all the stuff they didn't get. They never ask what they could give. Next Pres in office, I hope is tougher on immigration, tougher on the border. Tougher on privacy of the citizen. But hope he has the bedrock values of "don't mess with the US" like this president has shown.
About the ports and free trade. You got to be kidding me. Our country is a free trade country. We are about freedom of enterprise. Not just when one thinks its in the best interest of me. The ports are a free enterprise market. They are not buying the ports. On one side, everyone wants cheap gas, how do ya get it? Relationship with these countries. But then its a double standard. There is solutions to this. We (us gov) can monitor the ports no matter who runs them. We have that control.
How about actually attempting to fix Social Security (something the opposite party refuses to touch)?
Does an attempt count?
How about restoring honor and integrity to an office that had had it stripped by the previous administration?
Yes, because spying on us is so much better then getting a b.j. from a fat broad.
Doing what is within a president's power to do to reduce abortions (I realize this can be a good thing or terrible thing depending upon your stance on the issue, but for me and millions of others it is a good thing)?
I really don't think he has much power to deal with the issue. It's really a state issue with Supreme Court oversight.
Education? NCLB has done more to improve public education, despite its weaknesses, than anything the anti-Bush crowd has dreamed up.
NCLB is yet another attempt to drive the square peg through the round hole.
How about trying to ease our dependence on Middle Eastern oil, however small that might be, by supporting drilling in the ANWR?
How about supporting renewable fuel sources to end that dependence once and for all?
How about helping us refute the silly rest-of-the-world efforts to penalize America for our "contributions" to global warming by rejecting the Kyoto Treaty?
We still don't know how much damage is being done by global warming. Our current policies still do not make the market place account for pollution, so we may be over the economically optimal level of pollution.
There is plenty that Bush does that I strongly disagree with. To say that he is doing nothing right is a pretty good shot off-base, IMHO.
I'll agree with that. I have complaints, but it isn't limited to Bush. Past administrations and future administrations will probably be doing most of these things, also.
Arabs running our ports? If that's the worst thing you can find to complain about, he must be doing a good job. Our Arabian friends in UAE running the cranes and fork lifts as opposed to our British friends in Great Britain? Heaven forbid . . .
I'm a lot more disappointed with the border down South. It is a problem that has been ignored for over 100 years, and Congress and the President are still ignoring strong 100 years later.
