Guess what? That's what 90% of the electorate is going to do as well. This is politics, not a debating society, and on those terms, this is a net-loss for Bush and conservatism, no matter how you slice this. Sheeple will read in USA Today or some other 3rd grade level rag that Bush has now signed on the environmentalist crusade against "global warming" or worse, believes it's happening and we caused it, but still won't go anything about it because of his corporate buddies. "Conservatives" who don't spend time reading sites like this will feel he "sold out" and libs will feel energized.
Who cares what the actual report says?
You are so right on...and this is pretty much what Rush implied, IMHO. Plus he said now the Congress will use this as fodder for some sort of "investigation," which, of course, the President cannot and will not support. Then he will look like an idiot.
Nonsense. If we're talking politics over substance, then this is going to produce a big win for Bush. If more people believe that Bush and Republicans are reasonable about the environment, then more people will vote for them. If more people vote for them, then we'll have more conservative justices on the Supreme Court. That's a victory for conservatism.
