Just something to ponder..
Nothing to ponder at all...it really quite simple...if he's "angry at us", he and the Republican party can just be considered impotent till '08 and hurt in the wallet come election time in '06 and in '08. It would be an extremely DUMB move on his part.
You're right it would be a dumb move, but President Bush doesn't face re-election so who knows what he'll do ultimately.
