"The president himself has contributed a whole barrelful of weaselly platitudes, beginning with his line that 'family values don't stop at the Rio Grande'."
As one of President Bush's supporters (note tagline), I am disgusted by his weaselly platitudes concerning this issue.
The American people expect such as this from Democrat politicians and their supporters from the Left, who cannot be truthful about their policies and designs and must resort to weaselly platitudes, disinformation, propaganda, and mendacity in order to get elected and to advance their agenda.
However, the American people do not expect such as this from a leader whom they have reason to respect and admire.
