Appease the Left and they don't warm up to you. Hasn't Bush learned anything in the last four years? Sheesh!

The real title of this should be "Bush has no stones." As if the Meirs thing wasn't bad enough, Bush lost me for good with this nonsnese.

If you people, who think Bush has "No Stones" or "Rolls Over" all the time to appease dems were in charge the repubs would be out of power for centuries and we'd be living in a socialist dictatorship by now!!

Dubya is trying to appease the unappeasable and in doing so is making himself look really bad. His reversal of the Davis-Bacon act is like his father saying no new taxes.

This is the kind of crap that convinces me that the admin is indeed expecting damaging indictments.

According to the WSJ this decision was made after Andy Card (there's that name again!) met with 20 Republican Senators and Reps including Jindal and they pressured him to re instate Davis Bacon. I kind of think it has something to with the illegals swarming all over the south.
First thing Bush should do is Fire Andy Card! Never trust a Republican from New England!

How wrong you are! We would have more international friends, and fewer challenges because EVERYONE would know we mean what we say and say what we mean.
Bush has no stones. let me point out why:
Borders: still sieve-like
Culture: still more socialist that free
It is you check-pants, country-club republicans that have kept the true conservatives in this country subjugated.
True conservatism would have sealed the borders and taken away any incentives to hiring illegals; would have cut all the departments that spend your hard earned tax money that aren't annotated in the Constitution; would have re-instated English Only in every way when dealing with the government.
Why do you think Reagan did so well? It was because he tied into what middle America was thinking.
