He is fighting the big battle. But if he doesn't cower to the radical right wing on every issue, they dump all over him and talk about how he never does anything and that Bush is a closet liberal.

This is an absolute crock. President Bush's signing of the blatantly unconstitutional CFR (campaign finance reform) legislation, to cite just one example, has nothing to do with the civil war over control of foreign policy raging inside the Beltway.

There are many "big battles" under way right now, and the President is addressing some of them very well, and some of them abysmally. The "radical right wing" you disparage so erroneously with respect to this particular issue actually stands firmly with the President and our military and implacably opposed to the treasonous lefists dominating the CIA and State Department.

They are champing at the bit for him to drop the failed policy of trying to appease and placate them and to challenge them (and their media allies) head-on. They are ready and waiting for him to lead, to give the word, and they will mobilize like the decadent Beltway crowd could never imagine.

Nice of you to post your rant. You perfectly illustrated what I so humble tried to represent.

Great rant. The one thing the Left is afraid of is mobilized conservatives. We were ready to drop bombs if Bush would've appointed a real conservative constructionist like Luttig or JRB to SCOTUS. When Bush appointed Miers it was like taking a cold shower.

I just wish Bush was blunt more and give more fire-and-brimstone speeches. Possibly the only time when he took the Rats head-on was his speech to the Urban League a couple of years ago and he openly questioned Democrats' committment to blacks
