We know an insult when we see it.

How much influence should 20% of the electorate hold over a President elected by 50% of the electorate. How much influence should 20% of the electorate hold that for the last decade and a half spit its vote between 3rd parties or that stayed at home pouting?

NONE, but 50% of the electorate should not influence the President either.

The Presidents job isn't to pander to the elctorate, but to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States".

[The Old Hoosier]

He doesn't have to flaunt it. Nothing is making him do this. He's arrogant, and he's telling you, me and every other conservative in the country to go pound sand. It's not the money, it's not even the policy principle about funding of the arts.

Fact is, the NEA is to conservatives as pigs are to Jews. Bush might as well be serving pork to a group of rabbis in an effort to court the Jewish vote. It's just insulting.
