Give President George Bush Everything He Wants

Many progressive liberals are very upset with George Bush’s legitimate victory for President of the United States. They cannot believe that with one of the poorest domestic and foreign records of accomplishment the he could possibly be reelected. Bush’s political machine was exceptional in translating all of their opponent’s strengths to weaknesses. As mentioned in a previous blog
it is amazing that Bush who did not serve could classify Kerry as the weak one.
How can Bush, a President with the largest budget deficit seriously classify any opponent as too liberal.

This election is over and progressives must decide how to work under an increasingly right wing administration and a congress that is leaning more to the right. It must first be acknowledged that the country is really moderate but was coerced into the politicians it elected. Smoke and mirrors can be very convincing by a generally trusting population. This will be expanded further in a future blog entry.

Progressives have two choices. They can fight on principle as Bush brings his agenda to congress and stall the process. This approach is completely flawed and will likely effect a further loss of progressives in both the House and the Senate as the right wing will use the same tactics used in this election to lay blame on the country’s failure on those in the opposition.

The other alternative is to let Bush have everything that he wants. The Bush’s agenda will be a great success for a small percent of the population but will be a dismal failure for the masses. It will make the oligarchic system now prevalent in Russia seem innocuous. At that point Americans will decide if they are willing to accept that massive transfer of wealth and freedom or elect progressives that will set things right.

The country will be set back for several years while digging out of the financial and social mess. This however should lead to several decades of governance by progressives as Bush’s disaster will form an integral part of the consciousness of millions for decades to come. The motto will be “Do you want to return to the Bush years?”.
