I wish I believed that whole we won't bug out of Iraq or raise taxes part.

During the Bush Presidency there won't be tax increases, because the Bush tax cuts are not due yet to sunset, and, since the President would successfully veto any new legislation raising taxes, the Dems won't try.

The campaign to retake the Congress should start today. The voters who kicked out Republicans need to be reminded of the promises made that will not be kept. Every stinking day.

More wishful thinking. The tax cuts are as good as gone.

Dont be so sure. Remember, George Bush I, "No New Taxes". He threw that pledge away to get democrat support for the Gulf War. I would not bet a plug nickel but that GWB will do the same thing to get funding for either the continuation of the Iraq War or some other spending program. After all, now he is attempting to give himself some kind of legacy and he has flubbed up his conservative legacy big time, the only legacy he can get now is with some kind of left wing agenda.
