That's the shame about Dubya. He turned off the thinking part of the conservative party, the part that knew how to reason and compromise, or come back another day to tackle a problem. He wants what he wants when he wants it and he lies and cheats to get what he wants. Took most of that crowd along for the ride. One must point a finger at Newt Gingrich for getting this ball rolling, and pals like DeLay for masterminding some major booby traps along the way. And Rove for his whisper campaigns. I wonder, I know Karl managed to bury Ann Richards deep in his shit, did his reach extend far enough to do the same thing to Tom Foley, Speaker of the House? He got the exact same treatment Annie did, with the same outcome in his home district.
It all makes Goldwater roll in his grave, I'm sure.
