other than pissing us off and making us fight harder than ever, I can't think of a single good thing he has done.

I couldn't come up with any until someone else here mentioned that under *, the federal Do Not Call list was implemented. (www.donotcall.gov)...
That's about it, and I think it would have happened under Gore as well...

|
That's the best I can give him.

13. He is satan, how can he do any positive work? |
|
Are you kidding me? The man is satan himself; by definition he cannot do anything positive. You are some kind of stealth right winger aren't you? Trying to make us believe that Bush does "good things". WHATEVER.

17. The "do not call" list |
|
Thats it. Nothing else. And there were about 190,000,000 people who were demanding the list. And I firmly believe that if telemarketers were big time bush donors, that law wouldn't be in effect today.

19. a claim from my republican leaning brother |
|
Reform of the accounting practice rules, which the Arthur Andersen/Enron farce left no option but to accomplish.
Of course, the analyses that I've read indicated that these reforms were only needed because of the deregulation of the industry enacted by Reagan and Bush41.

He brought more democrats together. We are fighting hard to win our country back. There were more people out voting to get him out of office. We even had repugs who united to try and get him out. It is hard to see this with the corruption that is going on now but we here know that we worked hard to spread the word on his lies.

25. 30% increase in Education Spending |
|
granted, NCLB was not fully funded as it should have been, but a 30% increase is better than nothing, and far better than killing the Dept. of Ed entirely like most Republicans want to...

now you may ask why is this good? Well the infinitely wise Bush administration let 911 happen for our own good. You see without 911 he couldnt have whipped our congress into shape to fix our country. Deliver the money and power in this country to the rich because they're the only ones fit to govern. It gave us an excuse to grab more resources to keep our country afloat for a few more years in Iraq. When everyone else has no oil, we'll have the last 6 pack at the party. Praise Bush!

And how to use them properly. At least two or three, anyway.
