"HAS THE BASE BETRAYED THE PRESIDENT? Have conservatives let the President down? Is Bush tired of fighting conservatives versus liberal battles? Guest hos John Gibson wonders if the base has actually been more harmful than helpful to the President's agenda."

You have got to be kidding me? Did you make this question up Tony, or did you allow someone else to ask a silly question? We just saved his butt, and the Republican Party as well. Maybe just maybe explaining the battle of politics would be more a more constructive exercise.

You have election cycles which are really battles over policy and the direction of the country. When your side wins, last two cycles under President Bush, it means that you will set policy for at least a couple of years. How hard is this to understand for the national party?

Tony's off today. It's a question to generate conversation is that OK with you?
