To all the hysterical "Bush betrayed us" Nervous Nellies out there (and you know who you are

You're looking one right in the eye and I'm sick and tired of our compassionate conservative friend hiding behind someone else's skirt to politically pander.

This crap about rope-a-dope et is a poor excuse/spin of a political character.

Don't know what this fellow is but he comes a lot closer to my definition of a slick politician than a principaled conservative. Don't remember Regan hiding behind the skirt of the house whip.

I think you have it backwards. It's the responsibility of Congress to stop this, as they will. If Congress would pass it, expecting Bush to veto it, THAT would mean that Congress is not doing their jobs, and are trying to hide behind the President, putting him in a position of political suicide.

Then you can stay home and not vote, and watch Hillary, or Kerry or some other RAT get elected, and a Dem president would definitely sign it.

So what would be accoplished is for conservative Republicans being "useful idiots" for the Democrats.

Didn't conservatives learn anything from the election of Clinton, when they were made at Bush41 because of him going back on his "no new taxes" promise, and either didn't vote or voted for Ross Perot, and by their actions, THEY elected Clinton.

As in a chess game, you need to look NOT just at the next move, but several moves ahead, at the consequences of your actions.

PS. This is not meant personally against you, this is some general "food for thought" that I wish all "purist" conservatives would think about, that sometimes, they are liberall "cutting off their nose, to spite their face".

You shouldn't be allowed to vote. You don't have the brains God gave one of Tom Harkin's dung heaps.

Bush is playing good cop. Delay is playing bad cop.

The objective in politics is to WIN, not say things YOU want to hear.

You don't win by stomping around like Joe McCarthy (who was right about the Commies but made being anti-Communist a joke) giving everybody an easy target to shoot at.

Which would you rather have, genius:

(1) Bush says "WE NO GONNA RENEW AWB" and lose to Hillary, who implements it anyway when she becomes President? or

(2) Bush says "I will sign AWB if it hits my desk," Delay never lets it out of committe so it can't be signed, and Bush gets reelected?

Do you have enough brain cells to comprehend which is the more desirable situation?
