Yes, I know he did and why do you think he did?
Merely to try and keep a majority so that he could get his agenda through.
You work with what you have and what he has are a bunch of turncoats joining with the democrats to get their chance at power (note the group of 12 senators who decided to grab control of the senate and make themselves the decision makers).
Many of you complained continually about President Bush. Yet, President Bush has been the ONLY ONE WORKING FOR US IN WASHINGTON. You never complained about the McCain and all of the times he chose the democrats over us, you never complained about the fact that nothing was done other then attack President Bush, call for investigations, and do all in their power to destroy the man.
Now we have the dems adding billions to the defense appropriation bill for the war. That is what the "show the GOP a lesson" crowd have given us.
Yeah, they showed the GOP - they are giving the current Republican Party exactly what they want - less fighting for conservatism and more spending.
But, mainly, they have given us defeat and the loss of workers and donations for the Republican Party.
Look, I like President Bush personally and on a number of policy issues (WOT, economics, et al). However, he has also been a single-minded force behind one of the greatest increases in socialism through the Medicare Drug Program; not to mention CFR, the Farm Bill, the Education Bill, payments to families of 9/11, Harriet Myers, et al.
I praise him when he deserves praise and criticize when appropriate.
You never complained about the McCain...
Obviously, you're not talking about me...
