I agree the President acted craven on the matter of upholding the Constitution. Still its water under the bridge. And whom are we going to turn to exactly? The Gephardts, Daschunds, Feingovelts, Shays, and McLames who sought to eviscerate a fundamental freedom we all hold dear and for which step they proudly voted? No, I'm not happy with what President Bush did today. I think he ought to have vetoed CFR. Keep in mind though, that we have stick with the President even as we loudly criticize his failure to do the right thing, since let's face it, the true enemy of American freedom is still right there in the halls of Congress and we must do all we can to keep him from gaining more ground. Not for the sake of the President who spurned us but for the sake of the Constitution we revere and the country we love.

In fact he just out smarted the rats and it is the rats that will pay dearly.

I think I understand the "practical" side of what's going on here but I think when core values are challenged you have to be a leader and "above the fray". Certainly we cannot depend on the Dasholes for anything good and maybe this is a "smart" move but it stinks to high heaven. We no longer hold the high moral ground when we demonstrate that we can be compromised just like the Toon.
