The following is a comment I had written on one of the articles...
Bush really ought to just make the base happy.
Forget about the 11 million purple fingers...the babies that could have had someone on their side on the courts...and the tax breaks that could have kept this economy pumping.
He should have just slashed government programs --even if it meant shutting down government in time of war.
He should have gone after mom & pop stores who employ cheap (and probably illegal) labor--even though small business is the backbone of this nation's economy.
He should have appointed someone who would set off the nuclear options--never mind that now the Democrats can do the same to get their people in.
He should have angered the Dems in congress so they would never work with him to turn over the 9/11 and dot com bust economy--after all they weren't the majority...of course now they are.
He should have twisted the arm of every Republican in Congress to stop the pork barrel spending that funds their campaigns...none of the Republicans in office should worry about being re-elected...the most important thing is that they "take a stand".
He should have put up that wall and ask no questions about how much it will cost and how effective it will be. The "base" said "jump" and ALL he should have said was "how high".
Most of all, he should have conferred with the alternative press...who would tell him EXACTLY how to run this country.
Bush is a man of principle...and the absolutist RINOs hate him because the principles he stands for are not theirs...starting with "loyalty" and "support".
