***George W. Bush: Master Politician and Great American***
Stardate: 0203.28 | the Wizard

Posted on 03/28/2002 2:52:13 AM PST by The Wizard

It was so clean it was un-noticed by his enemies, and decried by his supporters, but GWB has just demonstrated a political ability that no-one on the left, and very few on the right ever saw.....

I always refer to the old Zorro scene with Basil Rathbone as the villian slicing a candle to show Tyrone Power how deft he is with a sword, because when "Zorro" does it the candle doesn't move....(The point is then shown that Tyrone's cut was SOOOOO smooth he sliced the candle so well he cut it without moving it....a truly great scene)

The First Lady did the same thing to Algore with her "...My husband sleeps with a teacher EVERY night..." comment that was so smooth a cut most of the media hasn't picked up the wound even today....

Well good Freeper Friends, that's what Old George did to the left with Johnny McCain's unconstitutional CFR Bill....

He fooled them into passing a billl that allowed more hard money, (something they would never ever allowed because it has NEVER, EVER been raised by anyone like our Commander and Chief) allowing them to include provisions that they thought would give them the edge, while knowing that others would attack and have thrown out all the offending provisions before they ever took effect, but the severably would allow the things not challanged to stand: Outcome

hard money limits have been raised and will stay raised, and the bad parts will be strck down, and we can now see that McCain was always working with GWB and the poor dems never knew it.....

What a political play.......cut to the bone and not even seeing it til after surgery is complete......

Whew, that's a load off my mind. After all, party A "suspects" that party B knows what parties C-K will do. Any other rights you want to gamble on your suspicions of what someone you never met knows about nine other people's opinions in an as yet unargued case?

This will probably turn out just as JH2 envisions it. I don't deny that GW is a canny player, but it's still a gamble, and he's using our First Amendment rights as a chip in an unsure contest, when he could have vetoed it and been sure.

But now President Bush has done the same, cutting swaths out of the 1st Amendment with a stroke of the pen. He told conservative groups everywhere thatthe bill had 6 points about it that he opposed, and first off, that it was a violation of our First Amendment rights. And then he signed it.

Unless it is enforced and then found unconstitutional by the Supreme Court it has not violated our Constitutional Rights. It may theoretically violate what you and I would like to think are our rights, but it is just wishful thinking. We are not the arbiters, we have delegated that decision to the Supreme Court. This bill will be tested and found either constitutional or not long before it ever impacts on any of us.

You are either posturing or hysterical.
