"The rest of those issues (other than partial birth abortion ban) can wait a few months, IMHO."

Well, if you looks at the "hair-thin" majority margin in the House and Senate if may be cause for caution.

What are we talking about here in terms of "a few months?"

2003? 2004?

When?

Always a glass half-full, are you?

In case you haven't noticed, there is a good possibility we will be at war within the month. I do not think divisive issues such as English-only are what is needed at this time. Besides, that is about 1000 on my list of priorities.

In a few months, if we are not locked in a duel to the death with North Korea and Iraq, I would imagine you will see some judges, the PBA, increased border patrols, and some additional tax cuts. Some of the issues you mentioned were never in the Republican platform, and unless there is a groundswell of public clamoring for them, they are not going to happen.

George Bush TOLD you what he stood for. Just because you voted for him, doesn't mean he will adopt all of your favorite policies. I myself would like to see a requirement that all American students pass a test on the Constitution and the history of this country. I can make a case for why this is a good idea. However, I do not think it is going to happen, and I won't hold the President responsible for not backing it.

He is doing what he said he would. Anything else that I also like is gravy.
