The sodomy ruling involved Texas Law and he said nothing.

Bush ain't on the Supreme Court. His opinion on their decisions carries the same weight as yours or mine.

I learned a long time ago, you don't pay attention to what people say, you pay attention to what they do.

I think Bush is playing rope-a-dope with the Dims. My litmus test is the AWB renewal.

If the AWB sunsets, then Bush got me what I wanted. He can say anything he wants, as long as the final result is what I want.

But then there are the people who are addicted to losing who want Bush to "take a principled stand."

What they mean is, they don't care about the result, they just want Bush to mouth words they want to hear like their Mommies used to.

So, Bush playing games with someone else just to get their votes, but then acting in an opposite way, is fine with you as long he acts finally the way you want him to. So shall we play the world's smallest violin for you when he plays rope-a-dope with your mind until you think he is supporting you and then acts in an opposite way to get someone else's vote? Or has that happened already and you just haven't noticed yet? Can you say, "nation building," boys and girls?
