Pressing the agenda forward is easy done when the MSM is on your side.
Not really, not when you have both houses and the president. The only reason to worry about the media for them was reelection. All that they needed to do was put the right bills up and vote on them.
I deeply deeply admire George W Bush. But I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that he more than anyone else (including Democrats and MSM) is to blame. His softness on spending and immigration were at odds with the base. He should have led congress to do the right things and vowed to sign the bills when they came to his desk. He should have had more troops and gone after the terroists IN Iraq more aggressively. Our boys are like sitting ducks over there with poor rules of engagement. We need to be conducting CONSTANT and aggressive house to house searches for weapons. We ARE occupiers and I think that is fine. Until we act like that we are also targets. Why did we have to clear Faluja 2, 3 times. ENOUGH with this namby pamby soft shoe pedling of things. It's time the Republicans started getting the job done. I am a Republican and will die one. But I expect OTHER Republicans to act like it too.
