No .. he will try his best to out maneuver them .. the question is .. can is do it successfully with a DBM hell bent on losing this war
The battle field is not just over in the middle east .. it's also here at home
Wow, you pack a lot into a few words. I wish I had that gift!
As much as I want to believe that Bush will fight or try to outmaneuver the Dems, we have to go back and look at his first two years, after Jumpin' Jim Jeffords gave the Senate back to the Dems.
Bush would go along to get along. A lot of good it did him. The Dems ran over him from every direction they could and Bush just smiled and took it. It was only on occasion that he actually tried to put up a fight. Look at the success the Dems have already had - they have forced Bush to agree to change his plan for Iraq - a change that means several advisors are losing their jobs.
Bush's last 2 years will end up looking very much like his first 2 years. He is going to continue to try to reach out to the Dems . . . . . and he will keep pulling back a bloody stump. What Bush and too many conservatives fail to realize is that the Dems have declared war on the US and conservatives and will do everything they can to remain in power. After all, they believe that it is their birthright - just as Gore believed that the presidency was his for the asking because his father told him it was.
