I still don't see how a Massachusetts liberal can beat Bush, but politics aside, the Bush domestic record is a disaster.

Barring a successful terror attack on American soil, I don't think Bush can lose.

And the Bush domestic record, as you call it, is merely what he proposed. It's the congress-RINOs who wrote the hot checks and didn't give us the judges.

Who cares what Bush proposes? What about all those budgest that Reagan or Bush or Clinton sent up the Hill that were declared DOA by Congress?

Bush is just a convenient distraction. Rove is using him to divide us so we won't focus on the real big-spenders, the GOP congress. They have the checkbook, not Bush.

Still, it's a clever strategy by Rove. Rove thinks he can afford to lose the stay-home and third-party votes. It's not a bad bet. And the candidates most likely to pay the price for big-spending congress-RINOs is the GOP congress. Not Bush with $250 million and the WH apparatus for his campaign.

Didn't you say you were at one time heavily involved in politics? An elected official of some sort?

Your obvious hatred of Rove leads me to believe there is some sort of history there.

"Bush is just a convenient distraction. Rove is using him to divide us so we won't focus on the real big-spenders, the GOP congress. They have the checkbook, not Bush."

What you're forgetting is that Bush proposed the $520 billion Medicaid prescription drug benefit. It wasn't something that Congress foisted off on an unwilling president. I blame Bush and the RINOs in congress. Besides, I don't think you can rightfully say that the president is just a distraction. He leads the party, and his party controls the government now, so the blame has to fall mostly on him. He could have led them in a different direction, but this was the easiest thing to do politically, but the worst thing to do for our country. He has led, but he led in the wrong direction.
