When the dufus next door makes mistake after mistake and then tries to explain that he was thinking of checkers when he was making his move, it makes you wonder if he is playing with all his pieces. Any relationship betwwen WMD's and no WMD's, 400 billion for Senior drugs and 580 billion after submitting a budget is purely coincidental. Sorry about that, a dufus is a dufus.

I agree with you on probably several of Bush's domestic policies. The senior drug program drives me nuts, as does his education bill, as does his relative inaction on the borders.

I think that the only people actually debating the real Bush are here on the conservative side of the line. The left side is so busy hating him that they can hardly be bothered to take a clear-eyed view of his actual policies.

Its here, among conservatives, that you have actual debate grounded in reality, where we actually consider whether or not something will work as a part of the terms of the debate.

Politically I understand what he has been trying to do with some of his domestic proposals, he is stealing issues from the Democrats. But that also means he is enacting the Democratic platform just to keep them from doing it. Drives me nuts.

But I may disagree with you on the WMD issue. I favored the war quite independently of the WMD issue, and people who opposed the war did so again whether or not there were WMD buried in the sand. I had come to the conclusion long ago that Saddam had to go so I would have been sorely vexed had we stood down and let the UN continue to launder Saddam's money for another decade.
