Wow I guess Al Gore would have given us a "non-symbolic" tax cut. Anyway that will go over your head since you and only you, Mr. Conservative of all conservatives knows what best, even when presented with facts.
One of the ways Dubya can regain some prestige and respect from "real" conservatives will be in whom he tabs to the Supreme Court should he have the opportunity. Until then, he's gonna have a tough row to hoe if he doesn't get tough with borders and federal spending.
Uh "real" conservatives don't win elections, they help but the middle has to be wooed to win and that is a lesson the left has learned, but not the "true blue" conservatives, who have to micromanage everything and complain like 2 year olds if a t is not crossed right.
NEWSFLASH!! This just in -- W. BUSH IS ALREADY PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AT THIS VERY MOMENT!! He can do what he wants NOW without pandering! Unless he's preparing for 2004 ;-)
