Hehe. It must be that secret all-knowing compassionate strategy, only known by the village people.

Well...he may be a damn good war leader and we all know he's an exponential improvement over his predecessor(and we did crawl thru broken glass for him) but he and the folks he's listening to are simply wrong.

This steady tug away from the conservative base makes no sense to me.

I know that now I'll be admonished and told to give it time .moderate socially and domestically..that next election we will get a supermajority and then things will really click....ok....where have I got to go politically?....nowhere...and Rove knows that....but some folks aren't gonna be pragmatic like me and they might just stay home. It's a gamble that I SEE NO FRIGGIN REASON SUCH A POPULAR PRESIDENT NEEDS TO TAKE....he has beaucoup political capital....

Hell, lets spend some of it dammit!
