If you want to call that the 'ends justifying the means' so be it. Democrats must be defeated. Bush does a good job of that, so he is my man.
While Bush is not someone I would call evil, I sure would call him someone who compromises too much of the Constitution away. If CFR does get a SCOTUS approval, as it stands, the 1st Amendment will be quite seriously damaged, and Bush would have been instrumental in causing that damage. Many people who voted for Bush because they expected a respect for the Constitution and BoR out of the man, will likely sit on their hands in the next few election cycles -- namely, 2004 and 2006.
