"This being an incontrovertible goal of his, I don't think it scares him to lose the House. He's a man of principle, and in any case, a ratpacked House will pass his amnesty program quicker than a GOP one will. And as for the Senate, they'll hardly hold the line on this; they've pretty much caved already."
bingo. So what we have is Bush continuing to divide the party, while the 'get out and vote Republican, or else' campaigners work overtime to do damage control. I use to say that if Bush would just listen to the American people and give up his OBL agenda, no doubt that Republicans would keep the majority. Now I understand why he doesn't care. Unless we do something about it, he wins either way. I'll vote Republican where I can, but I won't compromise.
I echo your sentiments and neither will I...compromise.
