"He can't be growing a backbone now."
You know, I don't think its that he doesn't have a backbone. After all, he had the backbone and the courage to directly go after those who stuck us on 9-11, fearlessly and boldly. Its just, just my opinion of course, that he tries so hard not to copy the ruthless attitude of the dims...to the extreme. He lets too many of these fools go unanswered when he would be more than justified in hitting back... hard! Its also hard though, because he knows darned well that he has precious few friends in the media who would portray he words in an accurate and unbiased manner.
