Paul, your post gives the impression that you believe voters should just go to the polls once every couple of years and then shut up and take whatever our elected leaders dish out in the interim. This "whining about Pres Bush" you decry is being done in large part by folks who supported his narrow election in '00 and would like to feel good enough about his performance to enthusiastically support his reelection in '04. IMHO, this is Constructive Criticism and is to be applauded, not derided.

I guess I missed the part where I said that. The article discusses the pending political suicide of the GOP vis a vis the immigration action. It does so in a near hysterical tone. The WH is full of political strategists that were astute enough to get Pres Bush elected in an election where he was probably viewed as less competent than he will be this time around against an opponent that I think was more formidable than kerry will be. Additionally, congress is full of politicians that will probably not self implode by doing something obviously stupid. I believe the WH and the congress have gotten the message from the voters re immigration. The Pres didn't even mention it in his SOTU message. Moreover, he has already heard from the GOP in congress on this issue. My comments were regarding the gist of the article and a (I believe) totally unnecessary call to action presented in an almost emergency like manner. My comments had nothing to do with political action in general nor the immigration problem as it is today.
