"Bush may be getting a fight anyway. And while he can laugh off the Angry Left, which would never support him no matter what he did, the Angry Right is a force he'd be a fool to misunderestimate" - James Taranto
My feeling is that GW has been more 'compassionate' than his backers thought he would be. We expected the 'conservative' part to drive the compassion, not the other way around.
On the other hand, IF he kept up the pressure on WOT, he would keep the backing. Problem is, focus has been lost to a degree that is now becoming problematic. He got too caught up on the hurricane and such.
Agreed, on all counts. And, of course, I realize that any human enterprise will be, by definition, fraught with imperfection. I don't expect the man to carry out my personal agenda for America. But, with spending, immigration, and the like, GWB seems to behave like The Anti-Conservative.
