My reading of Dubya is that he will see to it that they get squeezed, but he will not be seen doing it himself. The Democrats will be found on the floor, unconscious... but there will be no suspects or witnesses.

I can't help remembering the 2000 campaign where someone as lame as Gore closed rapidly on Bush by saying the health of the economy will be on the ballot. Bush had no response, even though there were some clear signs starting to emerge that the economy wasn't looking so hot. What you see as being sly looks to me like typical Bush cluelessness. I hope you're right and I'm wrong, but campaign 2000 is not a comforting precedent.

I have less trouble with Steyn's last 2 columns that some of us are having. I agree with him in that I wish Bush would go for the throat a little more often. I see that Bush is subtle and patient, and does impart his strategy with great effect, but there are so many opportunities he has passed up to point out the vapid, morally ambiguous, politically motivated nonsense of the Democrats.

Hitting them over the head with their own hypocrisy would wake up some of the sheeple and make it clear to them that having national leaders willing to acquiesce to the UN, or the polls, or to an outdated political plank is no way to have a strong national defense. They have left themselves wide open several times and Bush has passed on pointing it out. Unfortunately, subtlety is not sufficient to get thru to the democrat minions and fence-sitters.

Also, pokey -- I was at the dentist as well ... had an apicoectomy ... now my top lip is swollen up like Melanie Griffith's ...

I recall Bush did say that the economy was turning down long before election 2000, as did Cheney I believe. The media just didn't blow the horn loud, since he wasn't their Darling DIMocRAT.
