You obviously flunked basic political theory. Apparently you think that we elected a dictator, who can wave his magic wand and grant your every wish.
The Senate is DEMOCRAT. The House is NARROWLY DIVIDED. We are AT WAR, and although the President and most of the people get it, the Hill seems to think this is the opportunity to grab goodies. President Bush doesn't have time to educate the people and get into long, drawn-out arguments about minimizing spending or why certain programs should be abolished.
This is article is exactly right. His priority is to win the war. All else pales in comparison.
And you do show up on every positive Bush thread, it seems, to trash Bush and his supporters. It is tacky, tactless, and Daschle-like.
You can't actually believe that. The Farm bill, CFR, etc were necessary to get defense $. Get real - these other things have absolutely no bearing on the WOT. They are for buying votes.
