This is political reality, and Bush is playing along, and I don't have problem with that.

If I wanted someone to "play along", I would have voted for Gore.

As far as "political reality" goes, I'm seeing and hearing a lot of people who voted for Bush now saying they either won't do so, or will do so only reluctantly.

These are people who not only voted for him, but also gave money and volunteered their time. These are people who spent hours working phone banks, making yard signs, or going door-to-door for the Bush campaign.

The "political reality" is that if those folks bail, then Bush will be lucky to get the measly 37% that his father got in 1992.

I've got many pubbie friends across the country and I've heard very few complaints so far. I agree CFR will do some damage to him but not enough to cost him next election. And I say this: If those RINO pubbies in the congress are unwilling to fight on their own, there's no reason for Bush to take political heat for them. How come nobody voted McLame out of office all these years? Signing CFR will not cost him election, veto it just might do it.

Now you know how the Liberals felt when Clinton signed the Welfare Reform Act. However, unlike us, the Democrats stuck together and Clinton was reelected in Landslide.
