"Bush got the message from the voters loud and clear."
You got that right. And from the non-voters as well. You advance your agenda by winning elections. Not by losing them.

What I have been reading around here disgusts me beyond measure.
We take out the President at the knees, whine and complain for months, do nothing but weaken him, scream at him, second guess him, fall for the media slurs over and over again...and now have the unmitigated gall to scream and yell when he doesn't have the "backbone" and "will to fight." My God! And we are his friends!
I would say what I think of people like that...but frankly I try to be a lady, and it ain't particularly ladylike.
So...suffice it to say that my respect for "real conservatives" and the "elite conservatives" has been reduced dramatically. They apparently prefer to remain a minority so they can be "right" rather than to actually work hard and make progress toward a future goal.
We sent our man a message all right. We sent him the message that we are narcissistic babies. The message was that when the going gets tough, we start complaining about everything. That we'd rather take the easy way than the right way. That actually listening to the military (which we promised ourselves we'd do after VN) is stupid and we need POLITICIANS to run the war. We are, frankly, not worthy of a man a decent and honorable as GWB. We deserve the Delays and the Lotts and the Buchanans.
Yes, I'm angry now. (Is that part of the grieving process?) I could have moved on last night, but watching people pile on today and get mad at the President is where I draw the line. How incredibly disappointing.
