That is the problem - Bush knows its wrong but he's doing it anyway. Look, Bush really stepped up to the plate after 9/11 and he is lot better choice that Gore or Kerry, but he has basically been in a vote buying mode for 5 years.
He has tried to buy votes with the prescription bill. Then he tried it with the "No Child Left Behind" bill. He has always tried to buy votes buy looking the other way when it comes to immigration. He gave us a litle nibble on the tax cut buy really hasn't forced through anything really meaninful in terms of tax reform.
If Bush doesn't step up to the plate on issues like really matter then we are going to get another 8 years of a democratic president.
Can you say Hillary? She's waiting to pounce on this issue in the 2008 election.
