MOST SUCCESSFUL POPULIST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY?

George W. Bush may be the most successful populist president in history.

The press pundits ascribed high marks to Bill Clinton in this regard,
but I think GW is more than a match for Bill.

Could Bill C. have gotten by with the worst econcomy in over 2 decades,
a questionably successful war against terror, invading the social
security "lock box", running a massive deficit, and spending the surplus
running up the national debt again?

Could Bill C. have been at the helm when these things happened and still
get a 70% approval rate?  GW has out politicked BC by a long way.

Further, G W has launched a successful pre-emptive strike against the
Democrats in November.  There was no need to wait for an "October
Surprise", he did it in August and September.

GW has successfully silenced the Democrats in regard to any opposition
in regard to his revolutionary First Strike doctrine.  This is now an
official part of our foreign policy and even the Senate Leader
apparently will not challenge the idea.  Tom Daschle seems to be willing
to let that usurpation of authority go by in hopes Iraq War II will be
"off the table" and Democrats can run on a less politically ruinous
platform of "Its the Economy, Stupid" come November.

Its a vain hope, for who is caring about the economy at his time?  The dogs 
of war are running loose with no opposition, and the people of this country 
are following the hounds.

Charles
