yea, what a picture. Poor guy just lost his only issue, doesn't get any public exposure for it anymore. I think back at what Rush always says about the Dems and issues. They don't want to accomplish anything (social security,medicare,etc.), they want the issue to run on. Again, although I disagree with Bush signing this, it is really a great move politically to eliminate McCain as a challenger to him and it takes away a Dem bogus issue. I say politically it is checkmate. What about all those people of FR who say why don't the Republicans fight back and use some of the demo tactics? Bush just did!!!

My post #147 is for you. You guys really crack me up when you say that Bush's signature of this Democrat bill amounting to the permanent end of the Republican majorities in both Houses of Congress by its empowerment of the liberal media and Big Labor and its evisceration of the ability of core conservative groups to participate in the political process is somehow part of Bush's grand strategy. How can you say that Bush's signature of the bill which will result in the complete and final extinction of the GOP Congressional majority is fighting back? I have never seen traitor RINO John McCain, Tommy Boy Daschle and future Speaker Gephardt happier than I did than the day that their Democrat majority campaign finance bill passed through Congress with the assurance that it would be signed by a Republican President who puts political expediency first and his alleged principles last to the everlasting benefit of Democratic incumbents everywhere.

Yeah, Bush used some of the "demo tactics" alright. He coopted their playback right down to the last script and he just scored the winning touchdown for the opposing team!! As you say "it is checkmate" but it is the GOP, not the Democrat "King" that has been checkmated. With Bush's latest betrayal of the Republican Party, his conservative base and last but not least our God-given Constitution, Republicans and conservatives have not only lost the battle, we have lost the war! The GOP is finished and beginning in 2004 will be a minority party thanks to our RINO-in-chief, George W. Bush. I predict that the destruction of the Republican Party's ability to win elections will be Bush's must endearing presidential legacy which will eventually transcend his role in fighting the seemingly eternal "war against terrorism."
