And any marriage counselor will tell you that every dysfunctional relationship has two sides to it. The hubby would say that his wife is expecting him to be a superman; to deal with a group of allies that often side with the opposition.

* The most powerful hubby on the planet placates the weak neighborhood enemies, ignores his wife and publicly berates her for disloyalty..

It is a myth that a president can jam anything down Congress' throat.

*It is no myth that Bush could have nominated his Hispanic Maid for the SCOTUS and certain "conservatives" would reflexively praise his genius.

This whining about Education Reform and Campaign Finance Reform (which actually worked in Bush's favor) is the most overblown nonsense I've ever seen.

*From Reagan promising to eliminate the Dept of Education, and then expanding it's size, to Bush letting Kennedy write the Ed Bill is, I guess, nothing for conservatives to note as a betrayal. Just keep repeating the Rush Kool-Aid Mantra, "We are winning."

As to CFR, that was only a violation of the Constitutuion. No big deal..

Your dogmatism in politics will guarantee that you will be always be disappointed. Politics is the art of the possible; this Harriett Miers nomination is indicative of that.

* A realist will always be disappointed with politics. He will also refuse to lie to himself that black is white.
