How many vetos did Bush exercise prior to 2006? The Rep controlled Congress cooperated with the WH in passing most of the President's agenda. In fact, the Dems called them a rubber stamp Congress.

I won't defend everything the Republicans did in Congress. In fact, they sucked. But they still suck less than the dems.

Sadly, we live in the real world. The badly sucking Republicans in control of the House 1994-2006 are still better than a dem controlled House. Recent events this week prove so. Men will die over that vote, and it's only just the beginning of what Pelosi/Murtha has for us on Iraq and beyond.

And Bush should have reined in spending. I disagreed with all his spending, his stand on illegal entry from Mexico, his support for any Palestinians, and his continuous reference to Islam as the "Religion of Peace". Still, he is right on so many other things I agree on. Far, far more than I would with a President Gore or Kerry.

When the party decided on Bush in 2000 I thought it was pretty good choice, considering all the choices AVAILABLE. The events after 9/11 solidified that view for me. I have since stood shocked while he was attacked with so little push back by the rest of the party, especially in having experienced the Clintonista warrior attacks on Ken Starr, Newt, et al, earlier.
