Democrats have given Bush what he wants
Now what will Bush give them in return?

Apparently, Compromise has come to mean "Democratic Party Leaders give, and Bush takes".

This is ridiculous.

4. Definitely. Now people like me (any maybe you) are going to have to
rethink their party affiliation (for me a lifetime affiliation) and where or what will support out political/moral/ethical beliefs.

2. He will give the Dem's a smirk and probably a gesture he is
known to use.

3. Time to "Weed and Seed" the Democratic Party once again...
Maybe we can weed out some of the compromisers in 2008. We already got rid of Lieberman, even though he's still in the Senate... :mad:

5. It's been this way since the coup
"Bipartisan agreement" = Do what the Republicans want. Anything else is supporting the terrorists, embolding the enemy, traitorous, treasonous, weak and wrong. Why most Democratics buy into this is anyone's guess, but my guess is that they're secretly in agreement and merely positing their opposition in order to gain votes from popular sentiment, fully intending to ignore the wishes of the people while knowing that they have to lie to keep their offices. The Republicans do pretty much the same, the "leadership" of the country then goes off and does whatever the fuck they want, which appears to be to continue unfolding the "strategery" of the PNAC cabal in a "bipartisan" manner.

6. The Iraqi War makes good Campaign Speeches.
It is an Official ISSUE...................so it won't go away. Give him the money because things won't change until the election is over.

Every Presidential Candidate has the WAR as a top issue.

Their actions are very far from my ideals...., delusional as they have been....that the Congress will defend it's constitiuents.... I have come to realize, that glass is just half-full; I had unrealistic expectations.

I got over it and am looking at getting a Democratic President and keeping Congress Blue.
