Bush is not on record. Period.

[Kenno]

Actually, he did endorse renewal of the ban in the 2000 campaign. Enough time went by without further mention of it that most of us concluded that he had regarded that as a youthful indiscretion. If MacClellan is to be believed, it wasn't. So we have to get on Bush immediately if not sooner. It does no good to either Bush or the GOP if we worship him as a god while the rest of the country dumps him.
