Those people to whom the top issues are welfare, Social Security, Medicare and federal aid to education aren't going to vote for Bush or Republicans no matter what. It's sort of the converse of the thing about how Clinton wouldn't be impeached if he was videotaped with a teen. Bush wouldn't be supported by a liberal if he raised the minimum wage to 100 dollars an hour and put Che Guevara on the one dollar bill.

So....since these people aren't going to support Bush no matter what...and since these things drive away his conservative base, isn't the net effect negative?

For liberals, the big issues are things like welfare and education (getting more of it free and subsidizing the enormous and enormously powerful education establishment.)

For Bush people, for the red states, for conservatives, the top issues are defense, terrorism, crime, taxes, individual freedom, regulation, abortion, the 2nd amendment, big government, affirmative action, immigration, the constitution, Judeo-Christian values, and (as a talk show host puts it) borders, language and culture.

Bush wouldn't be supported by a liberal if he raised the minimum wage to 100 dollars an hour and put Che Guevara on the one dollar bill.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!

So true... oh so true.
