“For two years yes. For the other six? No!”
Uh, do the names Chafee, Collins, Snowe, McCain, Graham, Warner, Hagel, or Spector mean anything to you? I didn’t know it was such a big secret that some states run 2 democrats against one another and put an R next to one of their names just for the hell of it. Bush hasn’t had a true Republican majority in any of his years as President.
Add to it people like Ted Stevens and Robert Byrd, the pork masters, and Bush had a disaster on his hands. Blaming the domestic problems in this country, with this level of corruption in Congress, on a President with a full fledged worldwide terror battle on his hands is simple minded and only adds to the fuel that drives Liberals.
I’ve become disillusioned that so many on this great forum, a forum that provides every fact that can be checked, seem so willing to put aside rational thought and help to feed the beast.
Looks like we can add the two senators from Utah and Wyoming to the list and maybe even Mississippi — I base this on the vote on Harry Reid’s Omnibus Lands Bill last week.
It is also no secret Bush destroyed some good conservatives shots at house and senate seats to support in the primaries old family friends. If the friend lost the primary to the conservative then W lost interest in the seat.
Bush accomplished one thing the DEMs could not. He divided the GOP in half and abandoned the Conservative side for his 30 pieces of his so called Free Trade Silver. Remember as well it was Bush who in 2000 said he and Mr Gore were not that far apart on issues. Remember that one? I do and likely so do many more persons. To that he was true. Christie Todd Whittman as EPA as an example. What a disaster.
