Many folks especially those who are of the Liberal Democratic persuasion or purported brilliance of academia believe that we should further limit the Presidential Powers in the United States of America. They say executive privilege is simply too much power for one man or Administration of men in a close-knit circle.

Who says executive privilege is not needed. With the Congress and Senate unable to get past infighting, someone has to be able to make a decision otherwise nothing gets done. Detractors of the Bush Administration use fluffy words and good penmanship, yet this does not make them right or their perspective more sound. I have heard enough liberal Bush Bashing in my life to know it all comes from commonality of reading material and inability to ditch political correctness. Bush is a good President.

Many supporters of the Bush Administration go so far as to say to Liberal Democrats; What you wanted a Lobbyist Whore and a Trial Lawyer because that is who the Liberals put up as their candidates. Tell me does that makes sense to turn the country over to a Trial Lawyer? Ha Ha Ha. You have complaints and no solutions. I'd like to see you do a better job.

Indeed you can see the fervor and controversy on both sides of this issue. Yet one has to wonder? Are you liberals just jealous because you are afraid to fall off your mountain bike and our President has brass balls? Perhaps we need more executive power to curb Congress and the Senate in their spend thrift ways. Let us talk about a line-item Veto. The American People deserve it, it is our money and the debt our children will be paying. Consider all this in 2006.

These two campaign tactics, along with a third, newer strategy that just emerged in recent weeks, form the core of Howard Dean's plan for winning back the House and Senate after twelve years of Republican control.The first part of the campaign strategy centers on attacking the Republican candidate, Senator George Allen, by framing him as "guilty through association" for his support of the President and his policies.
