I suspect Bush is secretly a Big Government Democrat that's Pro-Life. That would 'splain a lot.
Well, he's not officially a Dem. He really spends a lot like LBJ, though. I also have my doubts about the pro-life part.
I actually know a few pro-life Dems. One is my State Senator here in Soviet Blagoyestan (Illinois). He's pro-2nd amendment, too. It's cost him a lot politically with the ruling politboro in Daly City (Chicago). He'll likely not be advanced to anything beyond state-level, of course. That takes some real courage - a lot more than mouthing some pro-life slogans while sitting back and doing nothing like most Republcians do.
I appreciate his standing on principle - at personal cost to his career. The Repubs in this state are a complete farce. Our former (Repub) Gov. is now on trial for corruption. I hope he's sent to a nice prison where he can become the "woman" for some 750-lb. inmate. He deserves worse.
Bush has made some decent lower-court appointements to be sure, but the whole business of supporting Specter for JC Chairman stinks. Like Ann Coulter, I have grave doubts about the very slick John Roberts. I do hope I am wrong, but the similarities to Souter are remarkable.
Secretly?
