Last week I went to hear Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens speak at an event sponsored by The Progressive Forum. Justice Stevens retired from the court in June after being nominated by Gerald Ford in 1975, and was considered one of the more liberal justices. The hall at Wortham Center was completely sold out and the audience was very enthusiastic...lots of cheering, clapping, and standing ovations. It was so nice to be in a room with intelligent progressive people and the Q&A with JPS was informative and inspiring. It is hard to believe he is 90 years old when you hear him speak.
GWB was in Houston the following day signing his book. If JPS had prevailed in Bush v. Gore we might not have had to endure 8 years of his disastrous presidency. Here is Stevens quote about Bush v. Gore:
"One thing, however, is certain. Although we may never know with complete certainty the identity of the winner of this year's presidential election, the identity of the loser is perfectly clear. It is the nation's confidence in the judge as an impartial guardian of the rule of law."

Thank God, not that you are a believer, that Bush was elected. He kept the US safe against another terriorist attack; Gore would not have acted; mirror Obama's slap on the hand to North Korea.
If Gore had won he would have been paying attention instead of vacationing and 911 might never have happened. Of course we'll never know. I can't imagine how it could have been any worse though. Bush was a disaster this country may never recover from.
Your idea of "recovery" is what? Bush kept the US safe from terror attacks; what is your pal Obama doing? He can't handle a basketball, let alone a country; he is a failure; can you admit it? We are worse off and keep going in decline; his administration picks keep on leaving; is he a success? Face the facts fourdogmom. You do not want to give ANY non-liberal credit.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe Bush was president on 9/11.
That wasn't keeping America safe.
I write this blog for me. If you don't like what I say then don't read it or just look at the adorable pictures of my dogs and don't read the posts that are political. You have to agree my dogs are cute right?
