Part-Time Bush Principles

He would not have disregarded the ubiquitous warnings from the scientific community about global warming and the multitudinous pleas to preserve and defend the environment. He would not have placed political cronies into senior administrative positions in the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and then cut that agency's funding for disaster response. He would not have diverted funds for disaster relief, and cut back on health and welfare needs.

If he believed in "morals," he would have cut all ties with his good buddy, "Kenny Boy" Lay, whose company cheated thousands of employees out of their pensions, while the executives were living in luxury.

If the President of the United States was concerned about "morals" and the "sanctity of life," he would have condemned hunting and the gun lobby that was one of the primary contributors to his political campaigns. He would have condemned the spurious and vicious attacks upon Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in the 2000 primary contest, and the Swift Boat attacks upon Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) in the 2004 general election.

There is a lot that the President of the United States could do to prove he is a moral leader, one who believes in the sanctity of life. But, his record, not his rhetoric, shows otherwise.
