One thing I don't think we'll hear about from the MSM is articles about Bush trying to "create" a legacy. His legacy will write itself.

Fidel Castro and his acolyte, President Hugo Chávez of Venezuela, are desperately trying to undermine the democratically elected and mostly pro-American governments of Central America. They would like to see the Marxist Sandinistas regain power in Nicaragua, for instance, and Chávez is pumping money from his country's oil wealth into that project... This is very interesting. I had no idea that Uncle Fidel is still trying to export the Revolucion. Of course the media never reports this. What are we doing to undermine Chavez, I wonder? I hope we're doing something.

CAFTA is not a political win for our party - all you need to do is look at the posts here, a decent percentage of republicans are against it. and certainly no Dems are coming over to the other side over CAFTA.
what the Bush SS "reform" going to be - removing the earnings cap limit, and raising the retirement age?

his legacy is, in part, defined by who wins the presidency in 2008. If Hillary wins, Bush 43 I am sorry to say, will fall a very long way down the charts.

With John Roberts as his nominee, the president is on his way to transforming the Supreme Court into the conservative body that Republicans have dreamed about for decades. We hope so...:)

Instead, Bush is revived and ready to take another shot at overhauling Social Security, plus take up tax reform.Tax reform yes, Social Security no. The administration can't win on SS. It is a waste of political capital to continue that fight (in fact a mistake to begin it at all, but no one's perfect). Tax reform and other growth oriented policies can win. Bush should concentrate on that and the war.

More ... what the administration *should* do on Social Security is to start laying the ground work for the blame to fall on the Dems when the revenue starts falling short.

It was a small minority that were against it, but they were very loud and combed every inch of the interent to find anti-CAFTA articles, a lot from leftist websites.
It's a win for Bush and that is what has you upset.

To: Prince Caspian
indeed I am. "Bush fatigue" is going to be a big issue in 2008, even though he himself is not running. if the american people don't have a positive view of his presidency in 2008, it will accrue to Hillary's benefit.
no matter what people think here, the conservative base alone cannot elect a republican president. what the "other people" think, not the Dems mind you but moderates and even republican leaning voters who are not as plugged into issues as we are here, is very important. those people vote too.
