I stated earlier that I would wait a while before commenting, and after about 22 hours, I now have an opinion to share.
I am not happy about this terrible decision of his, and I too am angery at "Dubya's" blatant apeal to the Libs. However, I try my best to avoid self infliction of pain, and am not mad enough at him to go out and vote for a Third party candidate on election day either!

I cant prove it but, I truly believe that his intentions for doing this are rooted in some strange political calculation, that I don't understand nor appreciate. But because I am unable to digest his latest cause celeb, I refuse to throw the baby out with the bath water!

We all remember how the Republican base treated his father, because he renigged on his "No New Tax" stand, along with other forgotten flip flops. George SR's response to his defeat by Clinton was that it was a political calculation that didn't pay off for him on either account, and he lost the white house because of it!

Well many said he had it coming and deserved to lose his support because he ignored his base. That is without a doubt the truth. But who paid for teaching Bush Sr. a lesson? We all did! For eight long, agonizing years we paid for teaching Bush Sr., and we are still paying today!

So, might I suggest that you rethink your support for him, unless of course you enjoyed the Clinton years, and would like to further the leagacy of the man from Hope.

In which case it is certain, that far more Liberal programs will get more support and funding than just the NEA, and those fiscally responsible Dems will be needing huge funding for all these programs, which will mean BIG TAX INCREASES for us all!
And of course with a Democrat in the White House, we will all feel more secure as a Nation too!

I didn't enjoy the Clinton years, far from it (I flew my flag upside down and came close to fist fight with one of my union neighbors).

BUT, no more serious damage was done to our country than GWB has been perpetrating.
