Perhaps the "new tone" experiment has failed?

About 6 months into his first term, President Bush should have canned the "new tone". It was obvious after the attempted theft of the election in Florida that the Democrats were N*E*V*E*R going to adapt to the "new tone". The President should have totallyt scrapped it and never looked back after 9/11.

Looking back, George W Bush was nowhere near as conservative as we thought. And nowhere near as capable, either.

democRATs agressively fight their domestic enemies with no conditions, but appease their foreign enemies. Post Lee Atwater Republicans aggressively fight their foreign enemies, but appease their domestic enemies.

A fight is a fight, I don't care what context it is in. If you don't fight back, people will lose respect for you.
