What exactly have you been winning? You don't defeat an advesary by implementing his agenda.
President Bush is not running again. I do not expect him to get in the gutter, there are ways of saying things without being rude and getting the "point" made. It's easy to do, been working with the public all my life and been married for 25 years, it can be done easily.
I think we will win again also in 2006, we had better be careful though, not take things for granted. There are alot of opportunities for us now and it would help if the President would speak up once in awhile when opportunities are in the palm of his hand.
Words spoken wisely with certainty can help alot.
President Bush doesn't need to get dowm in the gutter to defend himself. He has enough people to do it for him. But he didn't need to apologize for his Katrina mistakes either, particularly when there were others (Nagin and Blanco)from the other party who were far more culpable.
