George W. Bush won the presidency of the United States in 2000 thereby handing control of both houses of Congress and the White House under republican control for the first time in some 40 years.  Conservatives were finally in control in the nation’s capitol.  I blindly assumed that now we could get something done regarding some of the problems facing our country.  Problems like illegal immigration, the spread of radical Islam and continuing terrorist attacks against our nation and its’ allies, and the rampant judicial activism we continue to see handed down from the benches of liberal judges.

Wrong…

President Bush did not take long to announce that there was going to be a “new tone” in Washington. The political bickering was over, he was going to work with people on both sides of the isle and it was not very long before we had Ted Kennedy writing the education budget and Bush, Sr. and Bill Clinton hanging out together.

To President Bush’s credit, he has done a great job in the wars in Afghanistan and in Iraq.  Of course, our military has preformed beyond the call of duty as it always does and they deserve our thanks.  However, a measly 750 miles of proposed new fence 2 months before the election is not what I call improved border security.  Not to mention President Bush and more specifically the congress has done nothing about these liberal activist judges trying to remove any reference to God from every public place.

President Bush’s “new tone” left me rather luke-warm in the very beginning and I rapidly grew cold to the whole idea.  You see, I think that politics is about winning, and you win by defeating your opponent, not by getting along with him, not by making him your friend, not by appeasing him.  You defeat them!

Now that President Bush’s “new tone” has handed the democrat’s control of the House of Representatives and the Senate I can guarantee you one thing — there will be a “new tone” Washington now.  Cue the subpoenas, investigations and impeachment proceedings in 3.. 2.. 1…
