In other words, they know what they're supposed to do; the problem is that they aren't doing it.

4. The Only Way to Win IS To Beat Bush At Playing Chicken
and Bush is the Biggest Chicken Around! You need to push a bully into the mud, not offer yourself up as human sacrifice!

5. one of the good things Clinton did was call Newt's bluff on government shut down
over the budget.
