Bush is a consummate politician who is sewing up votes every way he can. Will he pander shamelessly or will he lead with courage? Unknown at this point. Bush could go either way.

As distasteful as this might be to many on the right, lack of health insurance will be the major issue of the rat party in 2004 (and in the 2008 Hillary campaign for sure). I mean, what do the rats really have left as an issue?

Bush is doing the Republicans a major favor by bringing up the issue now. The Pubbies will have to face this problem at some point, sooner or later. Better now on the Republicans' terms, than facing Hillary and her endless army of media winged monkeys all screaming and raving to a frightened public.

My only prayer is that I hope Bush will lean heavily on Medical Savings Accounts (IRA structured health insurance, personally controlled) and massive tort reform. It has been clearly shown that the money wasted on the trial lawyers could easily pay for health care for the uninsured in the US!

I hope this is not going to be another "Republican" mega-pander festival. I was not particularly worked up about Bush's immigration proposal, I didn't think it was too bad. The bogus Campaign reform law is a 1st Amendment horror show. So Bush could go either way. I wonder?

Quite well known, actually. The answer is....pander, though he may feel a bit of shame. Who knows?

Have you been asleep? He's already outspent the greatest socialist presidents in American history. The great creator of massive bureaucracies.

What does this man stand for? Does anyone know?

There is no courage in this socialist plundering fool, he stands for nothing. Except getting himself re-elected by looting our treasury and spending OUR CHILDRENS money. The guy is completely out of control and irresponsible.

He covets. GWB the coveter, GWB the plunderer.

You can't be serious with that question. All the man has done is pander to every socialist cause out there. He's a NWO globalist, just like his father. America means nothing to the man.

I think so, too. I read something just the other day about Hillary and her winged monkeys warming up on this issue. Maybe they got wind of the fact that Bush was about to outsmart them again?
