While I believe Bush won the 2000 election, and I’m not at all willing to believe whatever latest rumors pop up here, that doesn’t mean I like him.
I didn’t find the Iraq war needful, I don’t think his current domestic policies of subsidize and bow to corporate interests as healthy to America, and I sure don’t like the idea that we as a nation are now dependant on Communist China for cheap crap for Wal-Mart (which I’ve read elsewhere is responsible for $10 Billion of that now $100 Billion Trade Imbalance).

But now, He’s parroting whatever the Masters in Bejing want him to think on the idea of Taiwaneese Independance. They don’t like it, he doesn’t like it. It’s a sticky situation, and I wish we were out of it. This is America, however, where we can always hold our noses and deal with whomever we need to keep the cash flowing.

I’m sick of this, personally. However I have a solution which all republicans, capitalists and corporate types could agree on… Let’s outsource the US government to some other country.

uhhh, Bush has made zero change to the policy that has been in place since the 1970’s and kicked off by the Shanghai Communique.

I don’t like Bush and I don’t necessarily like this China-Taiwan situation, but bashing Bush for not changing the policy and practice of nearly 3 decades is IMHO not really fair.

I’d like to see proof that Bush is the lapdog of Beijing

I agree. We should lead the world in cheap crap production.

Can’t you see them becoming democratic and free right before our eyes? Capitalism does not equal democracy, and I don’t mean that the way Communist drones do.
