persuade my end of year vote nominations

[Gooch]

if Bush is personified by 9/11, and this is the cause and effect of a bloated debt (from previous surplus) along with many other missteps, then you are just going to pull anything out of your ass to say why Bush has reasons to be ineffectual. The point though, is its unacceptable to be ineffectual, so the excuses are null and void...thus 9/11 isn't applicable, b/c the ones arguing simply don't care.
