For what it’s worth:
Some will argue that George W. Bush is a great leader. I would argue that he is a symbol, in more ways than one. As a leader he is literally symbolic, a figurehead –– I mean, come on, folks, we all know George is not running things here. Blaming George W. Bush for the problems that his administration has caused is a lot like blaming Mickey Mouse when Disney screws up. I submit that if you go blaming George for our problems, you are barking up a wrong, very hollow tree.
I think this whole paragraph is kind of weak; it sort of needs to be there to connect the preceding and subsequent, but it also seems to veer off-topic. I think going from ...a symbol in more ways than one. to symbols are important. would be better.
...policy to cut overtime pay for our soldiers still under fire in Iraq? Isn’t this actually cutting hazardous duty pay? I don’t know that soldiers actually get overtime. If I am correct, it might be useful to say something like, ...to cut hazardous duty ay, which is equivalent to overtime... - yech - my example is worse - maybe I’m off base, or maybe you have better words.
apart from that; you bring tears to my eyes.
