Bush
continued from page 1
“The president used all the right
rhetoric, but he still has all the wrong
policies,” said Senate Minority Leader
Tom Daschle, D-S.D. “Regrettably, he
passed up this opportunity to close
the widening credibility gap that is
putting him further and further out
of touch with the American people.”
Others criticized Bush’s bellicosi
ty toward Iraq, saying that military
action — particularly without U.N.
support — would create more prob
lems than it solves, including the
possibility of new terrorism on
American soil.
The State of the Union address
came at a pivotal time for Bush, who
has seen his approval ratings drop
below 60 percent for the first time
since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
The president—who watched his fa
ther lose re-election amid a reces
sion, a year after confronting Sad
dam — faces rising skepticism about
his economic policy and the risks of
invading Iraq.
Democrats and several Republi
cans called on the president to pro
vide more proof that Hussein is seek
ing weapons of mass destruction.
“The world, our allies, also are
waiting for a clear explanation of
why war,” said Sen. Joseph Biden,
D-Del.
In the formal Democratic re
sponse to Bush’s address, Washing
ton Gov. Gary Locke focused on eco
nomic worries, saying that “to be
strong abroad, we need to be strong
at home.”
“And today, in too many ways, our
country is headed in the wrong di
rection,” Locke said.
Republicans, meanwhile, gave the
president loud standing ovations
when he discussed tax cuts.
In laying the groundwork for pos
sible military action, Bush said new
evidence shows that Iraq is conceal
ing chemical and biological capabili
ty from U.N. weapons inspectors and
that Hussein has not accounted for
the materials or proved they have
been destroyed.
Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass.,
said he would seek a new congres
sional vote on war with Iraq, saying
circumstances have changed since
October, when the House and Senate
approved a resolution authorizing the
use of force.

State mental health and addic
tion services also estimated a cut
of $12.6 million during the next
five months, and $49.3 million
over the next biennium — poten
tially putting about 10,400 adults
and 3,500 children out in the
cold if the Legislature does not
revisit cuts.
Eric Winters, a member of the
Libertarian Party, said his organ
ization was gratified that voters
were able to see through the
“propaganda” about devastating
cuts to state programs and serv
ices accompanying the mea
sure’s failure.
“We’re delighted about the
opportunity now for Libertarian
ideas about privatization aspects

Measure 28
results
Yes 507,069 45.4%
No 609,311 54.6%
SOURCE: All counties reporting,
with 88 percent of votes counted
of the government to (take hold),”
he said.
Winters added that he hoped
the Legislature would now focus
on revisiting its spending prac
tices, including reform of the
Oregon Public Employees
Retirement System and privatiza
tion of the Oregon Liquor Control
Commission.
“There are so many other solu
tions that are going to be avail
able,” he said. Kitty Piercy, Lane
County Yes on 28 Committee co
chairwoman, said she had mixed
feelings about the election results.
“I have pride that so many peo
ple worked so hard for this, and
we did such a good job that
(detractors) were worried up to
the very last minute about what
was going to happen,” she said.
“And I’m really sad that we didn’t
get it passed.”
Liz Cawood, the other co-chair
woman of Lane County’s Yes on
28 Committee, said the Measure’s
failure will hurt the poorest peo
ple in the state.
“I think obviously what we need
is tax reform in this state,” she
said. “And we aren’t willing to bite
the bullet.”
