He cant do it alone. He needs more seats in congress.

THIS he CAN do alone, and he is promising not to... THAT's a major problem. If he won't help us by honoring his Oath of Office, why should I help him (yet again) by lobbying my friends and neighbors, convincing fence-sitters to switch or at least not vote for the Dem, going to rallies and convincing friends who are uncomfortable to go anyway, and then pulling that level... when after doing so, I have to explain to those same friends why he isn't doing what we hoped he would. It make me look like a fool, and further reinforces the apathy of the 50% who don't typically vote.

I understand how you feel.But I'm looking at the Assault Weapons Ban as a battle (one that we can win without the President) I want to win the WAR, and for that we need the right judges on the right benches.If G.W. loses in 2004 we will lose much bigger battles.

Everyone who is defending Bush by saying "He said he would do this" Let me remind you of something else he said, alot later in history.

"I George W. Bush do solemnly swear to Uphold and Defend the Constitution of the United States against all Enemies Foreign and Domestic."

Now, for arguments sake, anything said in a campaign is up for grabs in most circles.

The OATH of Office is a sworn Promise to do your duty.
