Yep! He had a lot of political capital to spend - and astoundingly - did not spend one penny of it! I have trouble wrapping my mind around the way Bush has been acting since he was re-elected.

He is doing exactly NOTHING to further our cause for the future. He is, in fact, destroying the Republican Party.
But the thought is occuring to me since yesterday - maybe his legacy will be that he reinvigorated the conservatives and made us realize that what they've been spoon-feeding us for the last year is NOT TRUE. People like Rudy Guiliani and lots of others have been trying to cram down my throat that conservatism is dead! We crashed the Senate's phone lines - we're not dead people & we're a force to be reckoned with!
I say the time has come to tell our leaders - "Since you are incapable of leading - get out of the way - we're sending in some new leaders - you're no longer employed by us."
