Bump again, especially this part:

and I haven't seen even half of the people who are here now bashing President Bush.

I've been around since '98, have worked to get Bush elected, and am now rightly criticizing him. There are a whole lot like me on this board.

Sure there are newbies too, just like whenever we have an intense discussion. Some of them are hotheads, but many make good points - on both sides of the debate.

The value of FR comes from the quality and clarity of ideas posted, not the seniority of the poster.

This latest episode is difficult, but it could prove to be useful. If President Bush were to wake up and a) do something about spending, b) make some, ANY solid enforcement of immigration laws, and c) make a point of having Miers NOT stonewall the committee hearings (as is the current fashion), he'll be well on his way to getting back in good graces with the base that got him here.
