In my opinion, this is because he takes his Christian beliefs very seriously and prefers to turn the other cheek to those who strike him in the face.

You may be right. If that's the case then he is wrong. Whenever he doesn't stand up and shout the truth, he is committing a sin of omission by allowing a lie to stand.

It does not matter a whit what he does - the dems will just move on to another area where they can instill doubt in the president and his administration.

The dems have the media that carries the plan for them and we have never learned to fight back against the dems. We just jump on the bandwagon and complain about Bush.

So, all the while criticizing Bush we might just look at how we allow the dems to be corrupt without repercussions, allow them to tell our administration what must be done, allow them to make black white, allow them to tell us what words we can use.

We are idiots for not throwing these accusations, wherever they appear, right back at them and then ignore them. Same as they do to any of our complaints - ignore and do exactly what they want to do.

Will we ever, ever learn we are stronger when we work together in the party instead of continually eating our own under the guize of "pure conservatism" or, in reality, purely childish tirades to boost our own petty egos?

I would frankly like to see a few just stand up here and let the dems know - "back-off".

I agree with this (and I know I'll make a few people angry by saying this) but too many Christians interpret the "turn the other cheek" lesson as an excuse to do nothing in the face of adversity. In W. Bush's case it means he allows greedy, corrupt politicians to win the day by not being more aggressive in his opposition to them, but it also happens that many "pacifists" stand by and allow genuine brutality against the innocent to take place while they shake their heads and tsk-tsk about how it's such a shame that things like that have to happen.
