2. George Bush is the biggest "lip service" president in American history.

He falls way short when it comes to supporting:

Education
Social Security
Homeland Security
Aid to distressed nations
Small business

Chimpy's a compassionate conservative who is short on compassion and long on conservative. :thumbsdown:

I'm a small business and I'm being hammered by high gas prices, increasing interest rates, import duties (from Europe, not the third world), to say nothing of the lack of health insurance.
