Please sit back and wait. Bush and his cabinet know what they are doing. Pick the battles that can be won. This will die this term but will be a hot item in his next term. This is not the time to devide the party.

I disagree. This IS the time to "Divide the party" (I would describe it as trying to help the party grow a spine).

We should not first raise the issue in the heat of the election, just before the AWB vote next fall. We should raise it now, so that Bush has time to find a spine, and realize how serious we are.

And to those who ask which Dem I would prefer, be certain that I will not vote for ANY candidate who desires to infringe my Constutional liberties. I just won't. And since we can rely on a Republican House to protect us from an oath-breaking President, it doesn't matter who the President is, right?

Bush and his strategies, are the ones dividing the party. As voters we are charged with making the best decision for the country. That means finding the best person for the job, and supporting those that champion our causes, not just those that belong to our Republican lodge.
