I see Rush's point and this is a old trick of the Rats
But the problem we are dealing with American lives and if 9/11 taught us anything .. Our oceans can't protect us
Our enemy can hit us and I'm thinking those soccer mom's aren't going to like the idea of the Rats backing the Union Bosses over our national security and the security of their children
IF the rats REALLY care about the children like they claim .. they will do everything in their power to potect them and NOT THE UNION BOSSES
He's saying that the president of the United States is willing to send our finest young men and women into harm's way FOR VOTES.
Do you believe that? I sure don't. And I don't think that the people of this country will believe that of the George W. Bush they have seen and supported for this last year.
And as for the press, perhaps -- JUST PERHAPS -- the people of this country will see THEM for what they are at last!
Remember this: In the 2000 election cycle, Al Gore himself said that the upcoming election was a choice between good and evil. IMO, "good" won. And I honestly believe, just from the people I personally have talked to who I know did NOT vote for George W. Bush, that people feel confident with him as CIC. And they want him to have WHATEVER he needs to get the job done.
This is NOT going to fly; regardless of how many of the Dems or the press sneer at it, the average people in this country are SCARED of what the next attack might bring. We saw something on 9-11 that we had convinced ourselves could NEVER happen here.
The Democrats and the press are so 9-10.
Must disagree with elRushbo. The Dems and the press have been after the President all year. If it isn't one thing, it's another. Bush has been trashed as a white collar criminal (Enron), a traitor (allegedly had prior knowledge of 9/11, did nothing to stop it), a wag-the-dogger, an economic incompetent (stock market meltdown, corporate scandals -- Bush's been blamed for both), a venal conspirator plotting behind the scenes (See the shadow government brouhaha), an incompetent on the war (See 'quagmire' brouhaha), I could go on and on.
The result of these mindless/endless attacks? Bush still garners strong support, enjoys overwhelming personal popularity and trust; Republicans are poised to take back control of the Senate and retain control of the House.

Sound like this applies to the Dims as well!
