Also, I've posted this before, added some at the bottom because of recent events, and I really believe that if Bush gave a prime time Sunday night speech very much like this one, before the football game of course 8), and said this below, it would neuter the democrats for the whole rest of his term, and the Republicans would make unprecedented progress the next three years, adding several seats in both houses of Congress in '06, and '08. If he would only get up and say this to the American people, and force the media to carry it:

"My fellow Americans. When I came to Washington five years ago, I said I would work with Democrats to do what was best for this nation, and work together for all Americans. The past five years, it has become evident beyond any argument that Democrat party is not interresting in working together for the common good, no matter how many times or how sincerely I reach out and try. They have thwarted my efforts and conspired to defame my character, and slander myself and those in my administration. Therefore, I no longer see any reason to continue wasting my efforts in trying to work with those who's priority and singular desire is for slandering their opponants, and regaining control of the Congress and White House at all costs, no matter if it is based on the truth or lies, fact or disinformation, proof or slander, even while we have brave men and women fighting to defend the country and destroy terrorism. From this day forward, my efforts will be focused on putting forward the conservative Republican agenda, and I will no longer attempt to reach across the aisle as I have for five years, only to draw back a hand soaked with blood and scarred with bite marks all over it. The tax cuts will be made permanent. The courts will be made less activist. The economy will be grown, and the budget cut. Border control will be increased. And new domestic drilling will cause the price of gas to be decreased. Thank you, may God bless you, and may God continue to bless the United States of America."
