I supported WAITING until the hearings before passing judgment on Harriet Miers. I was right. By waiting, it became clear with real EVIDENCE that she wasn't ready, and she withdrew her nomination, rather than being forced out by conservatives worried that her personal philosophy might be different from theirs.

I opposed the prescription drug plan. When it passed and the energy bill failed, I wished it was the other way around.

I can't support Bush's "amnesty" because he doesn't have an "amnesty" plan to support. I support the concept of a guest worker program, and think we could work out a good one if we weren't so busy sloganeering.

I opposed selling an oil reserve to China -- that was of course another private deal which had to be approved by the government, but since it was a US company being sold the law actually ALLOWED the administration more leeway, and it was a real security issue, unlike this deal.

I would not be at all surprised though that republicans who support Bush no matter what in fact did support all those things that BUsh supported (which drops amnesty which isn't his plan and the oil deal which wasn't decided one way and changed, it was argued over, analysed, and decided correctly albeit with a lot of help from conservatives).

Oh are you ignorant. His guest worker plan is amnesty simply because they won't throw anyone out after six years. If you believe otherwise, you are drinking way too much whiskey.
