No no evad...you misunderstand me.
I'm not confusing anything; I have no problem with legitimate, informed concern.
What I have a problem with is the "I campaigned for him, but he's lost my vote!" crowd.
If you've been reading what I've been reading on FreeRepublic since this bill traveled through Congress and made its way to the President's desk, I have no idea how you could say, "In the long run we still support the man..." You may, but clearly, many do not.
After reading Bush's statement and after hearing his comments in a press conference the other day, I have no doubt that signing this bill was a strategy to kill parts of it for good. Still, the perpetually dissatisfied around here will hold it against him even if the strategy works...and if we have another Clinton presidency because of them, I, for one, will never let them hear the end of it. They may as well be Democrats, as far as I'm concerned - the end result will be the same.
I agree with you there...I may be disappointed, even disillusioned, but I'm not nuts. I'll be the first one to state my hope that he's an 8 year prez. I'll also concede that there may be a bigger picture here, about which I certainly do not have W's knowledge.
