I hate to say it, but there will never be another Bush elected anywhere, ever. After a brief statement on "culture of life", President Bush is standing next to Chuck Robb talking about intelligence failures now. This is not the time to try to change the subject. Governor Bush's statement was equally weak. What a shame, leadership is needed. The ball has been dropped and they will not recover from this.
I must agree with your statement.
As predicted, he had nothing to say. He's had - what - two weeks to prepare a statement on this?
You can all fling around names, but even in political terms, to disappear on such a powerful pro-life issue - an issue very dear to the hearts of the people that put him over the top in this past election - damages our chances in 2006.
Sorry. Why should I expect W to stand his ground on upcoming Supreme Court nominees? He let a tinhorn judge in Florida be the arbiter of life and death on his watch.
I'm a longtime FReeper. Even before my incarnation as "Rutles4Ever". I'm no troll. But this will be in the heart and minds of swing Catholics in future elections.
The statement by Pres Bush this morning was set to be about the WMDs but the press led everyone to believe it was going to be about TS - period.
The ball has been dropped and they will not recover from this.
