George Bush - There must be something in the gene pool of the Bush family. Seems he is as big a wimp as his father who didn't have the guts to stand up to Congress and uphold his No New Taxes pledge, and couldn't see fit to rid the world of Sadam Hussein.
Now, we have Junior whose motto is, "Speak loudly (even if in broken English) and wimp out afterwards."
Here is one life-long registered Republican who is about to re-register as an Independent. At least with Clinton we did not have any false hopes. This Bush has been an overwhelming disappointment.
I am inclined to believe the news media doesn't know what's going on concerning the ICC negotiations, other than what they have managed to glean from the DNC or the UN operatives.
I'll reserve judgment on Bush and the Congress decision until I hear it from the horse's mouth.
Concerning your personal attacks on the President you give me the impression you've never voted for Bush so we really haven't lost anything. Hitch your vote to fickle men such as Jeffords or McCain, they are also switching to Independent. Do you really believe you would receive better for your vote? They have all proven til now it's all about their standing-the people's wishes be damned.
