PS - If you do not think he wants a second term you are smoking something. All Presidents want a second term, but GW in particular I believe. The final avenging by the son for the loss the father suffered. The loss that put the Arkansas Hillbillies in the WH.

I like Bush's leadership also but wish he would stop trying to appease the arabs.

Well you see, there's where I disagree. I lived in Texas for 14 years and voted for 'George' six times. He is not 'GHWB' (albeit, who doesn't listen to their dad for advice)

He is going to follow the path of his own convictions and faith and I can almost guarantee that he finds Washington the cesspool of backstabbing whores that it really is (was there for 15 months so I witnessed THAT first hand).

Any true Texan would much rather be 'home on the range' versus having to deal with the tripe that comprises DC. My thoughts, and especially with Karen Hughes hoofing it back, is that he is already of that mindset. Do what has to be done 'in the interest of the USA'!

Of course, If the mandate is sooo strong come 2004, maybe he will reconsider, but other than that, his sights are set on doing 'whats right' for the USA. All others, be damned!

To the dismay of the DC whores...'there isn't a chapter in their 'playbook' for such a man'!

Bottom line...President Bush is NOT running for re-election, He is running the Country!
