It is mystifying to me how President Bush could actually believe that the Democrats would ever, for any reason, put aside "partisan political differences." It would be akin to a cripple giving up his wheelchair.

In Bush's world, honorable gentlemen put aside political differences for causes higher than themselves. But to the hard left, all that exists is The Agenda. Nothing else matters. The survival of America and freedom as we know it are just distractions. People like Tom Daschle get up every morning solely to gather and use political power.

You got it. The Democrats intend to be so cooperative with Bush that they aren't even going to move heaven and earth to run their own presidential candidates against him or Jeb when it's his turn.

Well-put. And, of course, "The Agenda" is anything that will get them elected. Any question why they are the "Evil Party"?

He gave them a chance to change their true colors... obviously, they didn't want to. Why fault Bush?
