RE: Bush Serves Up Some Kool-Aid

Steve responds: "Give me a break, Andy. Do you mean the same Bush who chastised Clinton for using US troops for nation-building? Or was it the same Bush who campaigned on smaller government and less spending? Or maybe it was the George Bush who said senior citizens and farmers needed to be more self-sufficient."

"How is it that he suddenly gets credit for political consistency now? That's pure Kool-Aid, Andy..."

"...As were a lot of us, but that doesn't make his action any less one of pandering, and a blatantly transparent one at that."

Hey, when I agree with him on something, I'll give him kudos for it. I personally don't believe he was pandering on this since the social conservatives on Capital Hill were split. I honestly believe he was against this on moral grounds.
