Give me a break.

Bush acted on HIS OWN timetable, not yours. He listens to Rove, not to you. Don't think that what you are seeing right now is some kind of reactionary change of heart. Bush did not win past elections by reacting to public opinion. He is his own man and he acted in his own time.

"Bush acted on HIS OWN timetable, not yours."
I don't doubt that... you're raising a straw man. I don't see why you are so angry that people were giving CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM about the tone the campaign was taking... clearly it ended up having a very positive effect. Something convinced Bush that it was time to go negative... so you shouldn't attack those of us who were trying to convince him to do that.
