I just hope he fixes the mess left from the previous president:)
:lol

I would like to see some fair yet right leaning judges actually apointed. I am sick and tired of activist judges making law by setting precidints (SP) from the bench.
I would like to see cap limits be put on mal-practice lawsuits....I think its referred to as tort reform.
I'd like to see a trial or a corps of Osama Bin Laden.
I would like to see a complete overhaul of the tax system.
I would like to see the continued overturning of frivilous complience laws signed during the latter clinton years that hurt business and make it harder to managed forrests/prevent wild fires.
I would like to see an agressive move towards reduction in dependence in foreign oil (if this means drilling in ANWAR drill away) AND continued aggressive research towards alternate fueling methods.
I would like to see a continued fight against abortion based on morals and not on choice. Rights are another issue.
Just my opinions though as asked by the thread title
there's probably more I just cant think of them
-
An impeachment.

Yep Kerry's your man.;)

Just because I don't like Cheney doesn't mean I don't think it should be done. And Kerry is irrelevant as we are already assuming he lost.

I'd like to see him take the silk gloves off. It's time to quit worrying about what the neighbors think and really get down to brass tacks.

I'm looking forward to going down to the village and laughing at all the hippies.

I've heard this type of statement from a few people I know, and I can't get a specific answer for it, other than he's openly religious. They didn't quite say it that way, but that was the gist of it.
What has he done to force religion into your life?
As for the original question:
A return to the true ideals of the Republican party, ie: smaller federal government, more control at the state level.
Tax reform, tax reform, tax reform. I like my money, I work hard for it. There's got to be a better way to collect the monies to run the needed federal programs. The federal sales tax (http://fairtax.org/) is the best idea I have seen and I support it fully.
An examination of the regulations on new oil refineries built in the US. There haven't been any new refineries built in years because of the restrictive regulations, while about half of the ones we had 20 years ago have shut down. They can't refine crude fast enough with the facilities thay have. Short supply of refined oil in the form of gas at the pump equals higher gas prices. Another look at ANWAR drilling after these changes will help everyone in more ways than just cheaper gas at the pump. These higher prices are choking our economy which relies heavily on trucking.
I know none of these things will happen, but that's what I'd like to see. I could type another 500 words on all kinds of other stuff, but these are the ones on my mind tonight.

ohh and Michael Moore on trial for elction fraud *(he is registered in two states)
when he is convicted, his head on a post would do nicely. kidding.
No, his punishment should be making a documentary on the harm his lies have wrought upon the families of those that serve overseas, and a vitamin supplement only diet.

Whatever combination of assassinations is required to put Powell in the Oval Office. That would be a good start.
That's pretty improbable so I will just hope that the next 4 years finally wake up the rest of America to the fact that the two-party-graftocracy is killing this country.

1, Stop spending what we dont have.
2. change tax code
3. fight the dam war and stop protecting all these so called religious sites that are being hid behind.
4.a younger conservative court that believes in what the founding fathers did.
5. closing the borders
6. look into health care in a sensible way.
7. wonder what a part time congress would be like?

Amazing that this answer comes from a foreigner. But I guess it's amazing enought the question comes from a foreigner.
And what did Bush do when he tried to over rule the Constitution when it came to the rights of a US citizen by executive edict?

And what did`
Circumvent, ignore and even try to change it.

Or attack it.
But lets ignore that. Let's talk about the incumbants or his challengers military history from 30 years ago.
The Supreme Court overturned it. But that doesn't mean that he didn't make this power grap. At the attempted expence of the US Constitution.

There is nothing wrong with this country that a tax cut for the wealthiest 2% won't fix. If we don't have the money then we should just borrow it and let our children and grandchildren worry about paying it back.

--Fixing the mess in Iraq. I've posted in the past that he's failing to get the job done, though I admit they probably didn't forecast thousands of insurgents from Iran, Syria, Jordon flooding the country.
--Tax reform. Simplify the tax code.
--come up with a plan to lower the deficit.
--Tort reform. Make it so that if a party sues, and loses, they pay all court costs. This will eliminate alot of these rediculous lawsuits. Also add a cap to how much you can sue a doctor. This will lower the cost of malpractice insurance.
--smaller Gov't. Turn more fiscal responsibility over to the state level.
--Send yet more money into R&D of alternate fuel sources like hydrogen and give the automakers some tax incentives to push forwardwith ideas, solutions.
--Expand the drilling of our OWN oil in our OWN country.
--Give states the ability to expand their now-antique refinery's.

Of course the Bush administration has done a ton of good for religious freedom and for the right to bear arms, but the Kanukistanianameristalkers ignore it because they don't agree with those constitutional rights.
-

Bush has issued more than 150 Executive Orders. Which one(s) has you most upset?
Or is it that Executive Orders exist and really have no constitutional foundation no matter what president invokes them?
-
Originally posted by Holden McGroin

Declaring a US citizen and enemy combatant and trying to suspend their right to haebus corpus.
"Of course the Bush administration has done a ton of good for religious freedom and for the right to bear arms, but the Kanukistanianameristalkers ignore it because they don't agree with those constitutional rights."
Please, sometimes we are judged on our one offs.

The phrase enemy combatant was invented by the US Supreme Court in the 1942 ruling "Ex Parte Quirin".
As defined by President Franklin D Roosevelt's proclamation number 2561, this definition applied to all persons who are subjects, citizens, or residents of any Nation at war with the United States or who give obedience to or act under the direction of any such Nation and who during time of war enter or attempt to enter the United States or any territory or possession thereof, through coastal or boundary defenses, and are charged with committing or attempting or preparing to commit sabotage, espionage, hostile or warlike acts, or violations of the law or war..[/b]
Once determined by the president to be an enemy combatant, persons may be held indefinitely and are subject to the jursidiction of military tribunals. Appeals or privilege to access to civilian courts is only granted to enemy combatants with the approval of both the Attorney General and Secretary of Defense.
Although the power to declare enemy combatants was upheld by the Supreme Court in 1942, it is currently under review (as of May 2004) and the future of this authority is unknown.
Until the court decides otherwise, by the decision of the 1942 SC, enemy combatant status is constitutional.

Yea but wouldnt be as much of a deterrent.
Which would deter you more the possibility having birth control agents forced upon you? or the possibility of having your nuts blown off?
My way accomplishes the same thing anyway:)
-
Yes Holden, and how does that apply to a citizen of the US?
-
Jose Padilla, a US Citizen held under this act, is accused of "giving obedience to or act under the direction of" and entered the US from spending time in Pakistan. He therefore qualifies under the second part of the definition, "and who during time of war enter or attempt to enter the United States or any territory or possession thereof, through coastal or boundary defenses, and are charged with committing or attempting or preparing to commit sabotage, espionage, hostile or warlike acts, or violations of the law or war.. "

I heard that skerry will raise taxes to couples (or singles) who are making $250K and those who have to outer-space $$$ proportion income/year. (combined) If your income is between $15K-$100K/yr combined, chances are thet you're safe with kerry.
