I agree. Bush's policies on education are shameful and can't improve our schools or help increase access to higher education or better jobs for most of us.
I also think that Bush has to go becuase he has no plan to improve the economy. His economic policies have cost us jobs, have created huge deficits (that have pressured states to cut into things like education, hospitals, etc.), and pushed corporations to move jobs out of the country, which he thinks is a good thing!
He has to go because he lied to start a war and has used a foreign policy of coercion and force to advance the agenda of a few big multiantional corporations and a small group of far-right ideologues.
He has to go because, if he isn't listening to his corporate sponsors he is listening to far-right Christian fundamentalists who want him to enforce their dangerous views on the rest of us.
He wants to tell women what to do with our bodies. He hates gay people and wants to use us to divide the rest of society. He opposes civil rights and affirmative action. He hates unions and wants them gone and is working in every way he can to beat them. He prefers big profits over our health and a clean environment for us to live and work in. He seems to hate poor people and doesn't really care about their needs. Its funny that Republicans get so upset when ordinary people say they hate Bush when they hate US so much!
Some progressive people tell me all the time that they want to defeat Bush, but don't want to support a centrist from the Democratic Party who doesn't completely agree with their views. I tell them that preventing four more years of Bush, unrestrained by needing to get reelected in 2008, is far more important than whether a Democrat will share every political view you have. Another four years of Bush is the most important thing we can prevent. It's like Smoky the Bear: Only You can prevent four more years!
What do other people say about this kind of argument?
