The problem with our current administration is that they are not even close to 75% of their agenda.

If anything, GW has conceeded to 75% fo the opposition agenda.

I know...I know...strategery right?

I don't expect Arnold to be a conservative...he has never claimed that title and he is married to a Kennedy.

Has he? If he is able to overhaul the courts via appointments(very possible with a win in 2004), how much does that count for in advancing conservatism? Does that count as just a single issue, considering all the ramifications and that the courts are now the liberals' endgame backdoor to overriding the constitution?

I see no signs of Bush giving in on the courts.

Exactly right. Rush has said it repeatedly. When you compromise to promote the conservative agenda, fine. But when you compromise and promote the left's agenda, that's the problem. And that's the problem with signing the campaign finance bill, a complete surrender; signing Daschle's ag bill, a complete surrender; signing Kennedy's ed bill; a near complete surrender; and offering to sign ANY prescription drug bill that expands Medicare. There's a difference between compromise and surrender on important domestic issues.

He's a poor excuse for a Pubbie and don't forget it if he wins and when he supports abortion, more gun laws and homosexual agendas. Think not? Wait and see. As long as there is a Kennedy in the household, you will see a leftist lean for certain.

Is it possible that it is our perception that is askew?

Perhaps the president is getting 100% of HIS agenda........
