The Dems are squealing, because Bush keeps winning and pushing through his agenda.

They act so surprised...as if the 3 income tax cuts, ban on partial birth abortion, Ashcroft, Gonzales, Bolton, Rice, Wolfowicz to the IMF, re-election, national missile defense, drilling for oil in the Alaskan ANWR, and every other Bush victory was somehow a fluke.

Which is to say, it pleases me to see that most liberals still don't get it.

"But the vote also reflected the Republican lawmakers' reluctance to impede the agenda of a president whose approval rating among GOP voters has consistently stood about 90%. And Bush's ability to discourage defection has been strengthened by Republican gains in the House and Senate in the 2002 and '04 elections."

The first hint of the blind beginning to see...

The vote demonstrated again Bush's willingness to live on the political edge — to accept achingly narrow margins in Congress and at the ballot box to pursue ambitious changes that sharply divide the country.

Ronald, de-ahh, were you a whining eunuch from birth or did you train up for it?

One Slim Win After Another for Bush

One slim loss after another for the rats. I like slim wins. Why waste energy with crushing defeats when a slim win is the same as a solid win.

In 1984 Reagan won a stunning 49 state win with 59 percent of the vote and 525 electoral votes, but he lost the majority in the Senate. In 2004 Dubya won an electoral squeaker with little over 50% of the vote, but added seats in the Senate.

Reagan's huge win did nothing to convince rats or the media that Reagan had a mandate. Big wins do nothing to pass Republican legislation. Small consecutive wins add up.

Strikingly, Voinovich not only criticized Bolton's combative personal behavior but made a philosophical case against the appointment. "I'm afraid that his confirmation will tell the world that we're not dedicated to repairing our relationships or working as a team, but that we believe only someone with sharp elbows can deal properly with the international community," Voinovich said.

This quote from Voinovich shows what the real basis of the opposition to Boulton is: the DemonRats, State Department hired help, and some RINOS want to keep on with an appeasing foreign policy, while bush wants a pro-American foreign pollicy that will advance America's interests.
