"But once I look at it with the perspective that he was pushing some big defense programs and mostly following the republican line, there's only going to be a few problem areas for Hunter. And those areas don't score high on my care-0-meter."

So being a tool of the GOP (following the Republican line) an excessive spending (no child left behind and the prescription drug give away aren't part of an anti-missile shield) don't register on your meter.

LOL! Who would have guessed.

***You haven't been reading the thread. The Prescription Drug Benefit was credited with helping Bush WIN Florida, which as you know was the deciding factor in him becoming president -- BY A FEW HUNDRED VOTES. So, yes, I think the PDB vote is a big plus for Hunter and the republican party because it helped elect GWB into office. Hunter isn't a tool of the GOP when it comes to illegal immigration and fair trade, 2 big issues that are coming into play in a major way. Your argument loses almost all of its credibiity.
