Holy shit. Are you serious? This is truly boggling to my mind. That someone can legitimately look at the track record of the Bush administration, and give them high marks.
Can you name even one terrorist attack on home soil that has been foiled due to increased security and the absolute undercutting of civil liberties in the US? What are the many "known" attempts? How has the Patriot act, wiretapping, ISP raids, library record searching helped prevent these? Our foriegn relations are good? Really? I would say that they are as bad as they ever have been in the history of the nation, across the board.
