[history]
President George W. Bush blew it Tuesday night. He delivered a State of the Union address that downplayed his most promising - and potentially revolutionary - domestic-policy initiatives. Earlier drafts had reportedly contained a lengthy exposition of his vision of an "ownership society," expanded and strengthened by tax changes and Social Security reform.

GWB can lose. If the dem nominee plays the moderate and hammers the lack of good paying jobs and the deficit GWB will have a fight on his hands. Nothing is for sure.

And people do not give a damn about the deficit if the economy is growing.

I agree that he can lose. Most of my friends, lifelong conservatives, are ready to sit this one out because of Bush's failure to protect American jobs and borders, and his crazy fiscal policies. The immigration proposal was the last straw for many.

Newsweek polls today have Kerry beating Bush if the election were to be held today. Dean would also come close. I hope the Prez gets things going asap and that all Pubbies will get out the vote and defeat the evil RATS in November. If a RATS wins, it's goodbye to the Republic!

Meg33, the problem I have with GWB is that I am having a hard time telling the difference from him and some of the dems.

"is that blinky?" You put me in a bind.
If I say I dunno, I look stupid, uneducated and ill-informed.
If I answer definitively, I've told you more about myself than I care to divulge.

I amd two other do care about the growing deficit to a great extent. I do not represent more then that on this one point. But as you can clearly see at least three people do care.
