Yes, but what Rumsfeld says and what Bush DOES are two entirely different things. I'm gradually losing faith in Bush.... prescription drug plan, no school choice, campaign finance reform(probably), environmental caving-in, a bogus stimulus bill, The Freedom Corps, airport security, amnesty for illegal aliens, yada yada yada the list goes on.
If you honestly think that Bush will call a demonRAT out on the carpet then you're fooling yourself. Sorry.
I don't share your thoughts on Bush. If the Republicans had the senate none of this would be happening. He might be playing politics; but I think he's primarily acting as an executive officer. He's focused on the war and he allows the other around him to submanage the home front and he's going to keep the senate responsible for legislation. If we're lucky he'll keep support for Dems down through the election and we'll get back the senate. There are 34 senate races this year. Three dems and two reps are vulnerable. I think he's an honorable man; but we need control otherwise every Republican bill will be blocked and will become a target for media outrage. With total control at best you'll just have several Democrate walk-outs which everyone thinks is childish and immature.
He won't have to .. the Media will do it for him ..
As for these rest of your comment .. might I add that he has only been in office .. what a year??
You really think he can do everything in one year???
