How dare you insult the conservatives on this website by saying, "lighten up". We voted for a supposed conservative in 2000 and as you say, "he has moved to the center on this". How is this supposed to make conservatives happy? Besides, you missed the most important point about this whole issue, the President will be violating his oath and the constitution by signing this bill. That means alot more than even moving toward the middle.

Too many on this thread seem to not get it. To win back the senate means that we gotta have more votes than last time. I believe that the administration is taking a carefully calculated risk that most conservatives will still vote conservative in this falls Senate races. What we need is a margin of moderate and a few demos voting conservative to win back the Senate and to keep the House. They know that a sizable number of conservatives will get their feathers ruffled but they are counting on the fact that conservatives as a majority would rather die than vote for a democrat. I Guess I just see GW's stategy in a different light.
