Bush would go along to get along. A lot of good it did him

President Bush did what he had to do .. and he took the hits (many from our side) because he understands what is at stake and what we will face if we don't take a stand and fight

What (IMO) he didn't expect (nor did I) was that the voters would turn on him and put the dems in charge of congress

You can bet he (nor I) will make that mistake again

Yes, there are rino's in Congress .. but even with those rino's we had some wiggle room

Now there is none.

We either call the Dems bluff or we don't

The question is .. are we prepared for it?

The question is .. are we prepared for it?

I believe that conservatives are - I don't believe that our elected representatives are. As for Bush doing what he had to do, I respectfully disagree. As Texas governor, Bush had a group of Democrats in the Texas Leg that he could and would work with. He believed that he would be able to do the same when he went to Washington. Call him naive, but he was not prepared for the hostility he accrued from the Congressional Democrats and tried extending the same outreach to them that had worked for him in Texas.

Congressional Democrats have made it very clear that they intend to remain combative and obstruct the President at every turn.
