(Excerpted, my paragraphs)

As far as the Bush-bashing goes, it may be getting a little out of hand, but Bush has brought this on himself. It’s not just the questionable judgment with the immigration bill or allowing the hanging of people out to dry (Libby, Border Patrol, US Marines).
I think what has driven many over the edge is the apparent complete contempt with which he now holds the very people who put him in office.
Not only does he ignore the wave of protest from conservatives regarding the amnesty bill, but he derides us in public, saying we don’t want to do what’s right for America and calling Minutemen and their supporters “vigilantes”, all the while cozying up to the very people we put him in office to counter.
That’s a betrayal of the first order. In the same way that a general shouldn’t insult his boss in public, an elected official has no business insulting his boss in public.
Bush’s boss is the portion of the electorate that put him in office.

That's it, I've been betrayed!!
I’m not willing to bash him.
He’s tons better than alternatives.
In any case, we have enough to attend to doing what we CAN do without worrying about what we can’t do.
I’m feeling we need to enlist a 24 hour prayer coverage over FR. Will be prayerfully pondering and seeing how we might make that real . . . say in 15 minute chunks.
