A politician can claim that and get some votes and contributions, and then later when nothing like that happens nobody will remember.

My concern is that unless there is a clear delineations made between RINOs in particular and Republicans in general, the average citizen is going to say "Republican President, Republican controlled House, Republican controlled Senate - the Republicans screwed up!"

I don't know, maybe it's too much to expect of President Bush to ride herd on Congress, given the current political climate.

A question you may know the answer to - could the President issue some sort of Executive Order allowing for drilling in certain areas (including ANWR)?

The Pres has the power to do that and much more. What he can't do is allocate funding; funding is allocated by Congress. But if it costs the White House zero dollars, he can sweep a boatload of legal impediments out of the way. That would also go for the 1967 UN Outer Space Treaty, an ubermajor impediment to economic growth.
