President Bush did this, it didn't work. Being nice to ratcrats is the same as being nice to terrorists. They will still kill you and laugh at your being so dumb.
There were definately lapses in the Bush adminstration’s judgement of when to fight; however, in this case the more fuel we give it the bigger it will become and the ONLY people it will benefit are those trying to wreak havoc in the conservative movement. There are definately battles out their to be fought.... however, this is not the one.. not at this time....
