Free hint for the President: when pretty much all conservatives disagree with you, you might want to consider that it's not a conspiracy, and that you might be wrong.
All conservatives do NOT disagree. Apparently only the ones who NEED to disagree did. Nobody else thought it was worth mentioning.
That's just silly. And the report was wrong. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had to distance himself from it. The only question is whether the President disagreed with it all along, or if he has been persuaded of that after this particular trial balloon (if that's what is was) was shot down.
I'm not really strongly on either side in this debate (i.e., I'm not abandoning GWB over one issue), but I do agree with Rush that the President needs to stick to the priniciples which got him elected (and persuaded us to vote and volunteer for him, both of which I did).
