The President

I am done with this President. Five years now have I looked the other way while he massively increased federal spending, expanded and strengthend the bureaucracy, and ignored any kind of foreign policy development that wasn't related to the war on terror. So now, clinging to the hope of a Supreme Court that would finally respect the constitution and the ideals by which it was created, that I believe can only be done with what we call "conservative" jurisprudence. For him to nominate someone so awful as Harriet Miers, for him to have the audacity to tell me to "trust him" which is something we simply cannot do for Supreme Court nominees, and for all the ridiculous arguments and flaking coming from the White House these days, I simply can no longer support him. He will destroy conservative power in America softly and he has proven to be much more destructive in a domestic policy sense than Clinton ever was. The prospects for a truly conservative nominee in 2008 are slim also, and I blame a large portion of that sentiment on the failure of this President to govern when the opportunity was presented to him. A second term often allows a President to reveal himself and this President has done that to great disappointment. I'll share more thoughts later when my breakage becomes complete.
