For 5 years now, whatever the issue it is he's running to the left on, we've heard variations on two lines from the Bush apologists. It's either clever strategery that's actually thwarting the Dems even though it resembles and is giving in to them without a fight, or else it's Congress's fault. This author has worked in both of them.
Right on the nailhead.
This whole cleverly-planned-labyrinth strategy that fools the Democrats...what a bunch of spin a muck.
We did see that on the cleverly-planned-labyrinth strategy of McCain-Feingold.
The truth is that the pick was a pathetic unknown to all and even Bush...unless part of the plan is that he is omnipotent.
You know, old George did a fine job of getting himself re-elected. If he pushed straight conservative issues you would have President Kerry making these picks.
Just a thought - you might be a bit grateful to old W for managing the job as he has.
