GWB could have said, "Look this has way less to do with gays than it has to do with state's rights." and filed an amicus brief.

There are good reasons why Dubya has approached politics the way he has. Number one is because he is a good man and he thinks what he is doing is the best thing for our nation and the world. Number two is because he is successful with this approach...supporting legislation that can't be passed or can't be implemented is counter productive.

Dubya is not going to support legislation the invades the bedroom.

Billybob has confirmed that all it would take to break the filibustering of judges in the Senate is a point of order.

"Oh Yeah! All Dubya has to do is wave a finger and he can change the immutable laws of nature." Congressman Billybob is smart man and I have a great deal of respect for much of what he has written, but if busting a filibuster was as easy as you claim then it would have happen already. Either Billybob is losing it or you are misrepresenting what he wrote.

I didn't say there was NO difference between Kennedy and Bush. I said that in terms of delivering on the left's agenda, Bush has delivered in ways that only Kennedy could hallucinate about at the end of the bar.

Actually you said Kennedy was an amateur when it comes to passing liberal legislation compared to Dubya. The implication is that Dubya is a bigger liberal. Last time I checked Kennedy was the one crying over his own education bill. Kennedy says he got screwed and fooled into supporting a bill that is vastly different than the one he wrote. The education bill opens the door for standards and testing. That is not a completely liberal idea

You're officially reprogrammed. I'm not sure of what version chip set you are on, but you are a certified Bush-bot.

The first amendment is gone. The very reason why it was there was to protect political speech. He signed a bill that bans it 60 days before an election, after having said he wouldn't.

On this alone, he at least deserves a little criticism. You Bush-bots are scary. You aren't even willing to countenance criticism of GWB.

You say he's succeeding in his approach. I'd say it is FAR too early to tell if you are right.

On CFR, I think that any time I can't go down and place a political ad criticising a candidate ANY time during an election, I'd say that if Madison or Jefferson were alive they would have kicked GWB's ass around the oval office for not vetoing that bill.
