Perhaps that is because they aren't HOPING to find anything to smash Bush with, unlike a lot of people around here.
Because in a year it will not make any difference.
If, like his dad, he continues this Neville Chamberlain path of appeasing the liberals, then, they will cream him in 2004, and we will get another Clinton. For eight years.
Think about that for a minute.
The dark despair that came over the whole country when Clinton was elected, was something too odious for me to remember.
Not to mention the last eight years before W.
I bash W now because I DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN EVER AGAIN!
I bash Bush NOW, because I want him to CHANGE AND BE MORE CONSERVATIVE. NOW!
Then, when the mudslinging starts in a year or so as a warm up to the election of 2004, IT IS TOO LATE TO BASH HIM AND IT IS COUNTERPRODUCTIVE.
That's when every good American should shut up.
Remember, the American political memory is about one week.
