Bush has been manouvered into signing the bill by the RINOs in his own party.

LOL! You're telling me a President with an 85% approval rating is bowing before a bunch of gutless RINOs?

If Bush gave a damn about the Constitution, he would veto this bill, and give a primetime speech about his reasons for doing so. He would state that it violates the Bill of Rights, and he would give the names of electorially vulnerable dems and RINOs who supported the infringement on the Bill of Rights.

His base would be ecstatic, the moderates would respect him (as much as a moderate can offer respect), and the liberals would fear him. It's a win-win-win situation.

This leads to me to believe that there are "other reasons" for signing this bill. Basically, politicians of both parties seem hell-bent on taking away our Rights and eroding the Constitution.

Maybe Bush has decided to allow Daschle to be the Domestic President?

This seems to contradict your Occam's Razor theory.

nobody outside this realm gives a rat ass about CFR. besides, Bush never had a true hardcore conservative base in the first place, if he had one, the 2000 election wouldn't be such a mess. CFR ain't "read my lips" because most people just don't care. RINOs? why don't people of their states vote them out of office? because they simply don't care. This is political reality, and Bush is playing along, and I don't have problem with that.

Me too. Unfortunately, I have no idea what these "other reasons" might be.

Ok, now you're starting to get it.
